REED WON
The SINGLES
Moscow Man Put a Strong Finish
In the Tennis Tourna-
ment

The Tennis tournament which has
been in progress for the last three days
was concluded yesterday when L. C.
Reed Of Moscow. defeated Rev. J. r.
Gregory Of Lewiston, the score being
rs, 6-1 and 81. Both players were
well tired out by the matches played
on Tuesday and Wednesday leading up
to the finals. But Notwithstanding the
physical strain Of the preliminaries
both players exhibited splendid ability
andy esterday's match was an exhibi-
ton of some Of the best tennis Of the
week. While the Lewiston club regrets
the loss of both single and double prizes
yet they feel that the trophies have
fallen into deserving hands and are
still proud Of the fact that heir man
stood up until the final round and won
the reputation of being the steadiest
player in the tournament. The week
has been greatly enjoyed by the lovers
Of tennis and one Of the results OF this
tournment will undoubtedly be to
arouse a greater interest in the game
throughout the Inland Empire. 1t 1t
the intention to hold these tournaments
annually now and the next one will
probably be at Moscow where the con-
test for the ownershoip of the Chal-
lenge cup will be renewed. The visitors
have expressed the highest apprecia-
ton of their entertainment by the
Lewiston Tennis Club and the week
has been highly enjoyed by all.
