Mr. !. u. f. Jones. who meets r "
Carleton in a match for the semi-fnsle
today a. Bristol. has shown surprising
form in times In his contests this season.
Mr. Jones went 10 Jonsvood a dark horse
in the contests and comparatively un-
known there as far as tennis ie concern
ed He frst surprised his Providence
friends and his opponents by winning sue
cessively from his opponents til lhe faced
the champions. Even here ne was not
outclassed and proved himself an inter
esting contestant. In the Bristol tourna-
ment. after the showing made at Long
wood Mr. Jones easily proved q drawing
card. and all his matches there have been
watched with interest. He has by his
splendid play brought himself 10 the tor
of the list OF aspirants for honors and
has q fair chance ~ winning the state
championship. He faces today his mos,
formidable opponent IN II. n. Carleton
yet judging from the brilliant manner
In which Mr.. Jones has been playing the
inal result Of the contest will be In hit
favor The outcome Of today's contest
between these two men will be watched
with more than common interest by Mr.
Jones many friends here.
