SOUTHAMPTON, L l., Aug. IA
Dashing continuous play yesterday re-
suited in the tennis players reaching the
finals in both singles and doubles in
the tournament on the courts of the
Meadow Club.
The English champions, the Doherty
brothers, easily outplayed the Americans
at every point. II. L Doherty, the
singles title-holder, made swift work of
his match against William ]. Clothier,
and beat him in straight sets. The IT.
tie Briton, by holding the tall Harvard
student away from the net, had him at
his mercy. so that he used his passing
strokes at will whenever pressed closely.
Fast Match
Ollie Campbell and Harold S. Mahony
were paired against the Dohertys in
the semi-fnaI round of the doubles. In
this contest the Englishmen were CON-
PEELED to extend themselves. The three
sets were fought out at the net, the men
volleying without cessation Only the
steadiness of the Dohertys saved them
from defeat In the final set Ollie Camp
bell weakened and the English cham
pions won the set and match

race with his brother Parisians, George
Papilion and Henri Page, was the fea-
ture at Crosse Pointe track this after
noon, where the automobile races post
poned yesterday were run off. The

the track for the entire mile, and even
then the running was soft. Despite
this, julius Sincholl drove his car fif-
teen miles in better than 1904 and
made the eleventh mile in 1902 Us.
The engine of Papilion's car gave out
a few feet from the start, leaving only
Sincholl and Page competitors, and the
former outclassed Page, winning the
race by mile and a quarter. Tom
Cooper and Barney Oldfield met twice
during the afternoon, each scoring one
victory. In the five-mile match race
between these two men Coopers en-
CINE worked badly and after the first
mile Oldfield led by from $50 to 800

cup in which there were three other
starters. Coopers engine worked sat
isfactorily this time and he took the
lead from the start, winning by about
quarter of mile. Harry Cunning
