tournament to-day provided a sensational over
throw of the Harvard team that was thought to
be the best that this country could produce. and
in the minds of many far superior to the
Wrenn brothers. who were selected for the in
ternationals with the Englishmen. The match
was the great East against the West competi-
ton in the doubles and it resulted in three set
victory for Kreigh Collins and Louis H Waid-
ner. the team from the Kenwood Country Club.

The speed of the players from the West was
terrific, and they played the ball with sure
ness ot stroke that was so remarkable that it
called forth remark from r. F. Doherty, who
was an interested spectator OF the battle over
the net There times when Ward and
Ware seemed to be far below their usual FORM
but it was only because of the wonderfully ag-
gressive racquet work of their opponents.
In the singles r. F. Doherty defaulted. but
both H. L. Doherty and Harold Mahony came
through. the latter by a default Clother
showed his ability by defeating Wright. and
may have to be reckoned with as a factor in the
finals.
