When Cunha and Elston go on the
courts at the Pacific Club grounds, to
play against Adams and Brock for the
island double tennis championship,
this afternoon at $3.50 o'clock, it viii
be with the knowledge that they have
won the right to the contest by some OF
the best play that has been seen here
for a long time. Ross and Bickneh
were defeated by them on the Beretania
Club courts yesterday, with scores
which in themselves tell of high class
sport
The first set was a heart-breaking
one, the final score being 10 to 8, the
men changing position in the lead with
regularity, until at last the winners
went out and won, with some brilliant
returns. They won the second too, tax
ing it in better shape by CA. The third
was change of form, for the defeated
ones rallied and made the score Sd by
some good work. This seemed to be too
much for them however, for when the
winners got their play again, they took
the last set with 81, in brilliant style
The match this afternoon viii iettle
the island championship for the year,
and if Adams and Brock are beaten it
will be after having held the title for
four years.

catcher was not up to his mark or
there would have been different tale
to tell for the locals. Rodgers, too,
showed in better shape than even MS
friends expected. He had good COM

his head like a veteran. If he comes
on he will prove valuable acquisition
to the Males pitching corps. Friel, at

was Nolan in right, but Riley in the
center was out of it; three errors IN
the last giving the locals advantage.
Mr.. Metcalf, at first was in good shape
and beside made the best hit Of the
game.

WAR AND THEN PEACE.
About the RusSo-Japanesc Situa-
ton.

Berlin. December 2.-Dispatches
indicating the extreme tension of the
RussoJapanese situation almost
monOpoliZed the attention of the
German press and official world yes
terday and early today. The danger
Of war was regarded as greater than
ever. But this feeling was changed
by the receipt of the announcement
from Paris that a basis of settlement
had been reached. This made the
financiers hopeful and prices on the
Borse opened strong. Later a tide
of alarming dispatches quickly re-
versed the favorable sentiment and
stopped trading absolutely.
Official circles. however. take a
more hopeful view of the situation
than the public. The hope that war
will be averted is based to a large
extent on the belief that Great Brit
ain will not earnestly support Japan.
According TO this official view, Great
Rritain's present policy is based on
a desire 10 keep Russia engaged un-
til Lord Curzon. the viceroy of the
India. has completed his tour of the
Persian gulf and while the forward
movement of the British in Thibil Is
in progress.
