splendid tennis may be expected by the
gallery from now 70 the close All matches
in the preliminary round Of the doubles
except one have also been played
Matteson is the only Omaha player who

Redick shows Form.
In the Snow Redick match Redick showed
sufficient form to Justify the statement that
It is only a question OF a season or two be-
fore he will be a prominent aspirant for
defeated him in straight sets so, 6-1 the
of the match as many games went to deuce
and some OF Redicks rallies bordered on
the brilliant.
Caldwell and Young were watched with
considerable interest in their match with
Gilman and Baker of Sioux City, the win
ners in doubles in the Tri-State meet. The
local champions had matters in their own
hands from the start and did not have to
even extend themselves, although Gilman
worked like a Trojan. Neither he nor
Baker played up to their standard. Cald-
we'll and Young played a lobbing game
throughout and Baker continually smashed
the lobs into the net. seeming to be par
ticularly wild in all his smashing.
Don Raymond Joins Ike.
Hayes defeated Don Raymond by superior
steadiness at critical times. Raymond
started the match by a lead of the first
three games in the initial set through ex-
ceptional placing, but the pace was too hot
for him and the never ending getting" Of
Hayes and his steady returns into the court
gradually took the life out of Raymond s
play, and the contest was never in doubt
after the middle of the first set.
The courts will all be in splendid condition
this morning, provided however, 1t does not
rain too hard during the night and all
courts will be kept busy with the champion
ship singles, the championship doubles and
the consolation singles.
The visitors all Joined in the regular
Wednesday evening hop at the Field club
last night and all seemed to be having a
merry time.
