Reuben Hunt of Alameda. Cal. who won the
championship In the singles last year, was de-
feated by Kreigh Collins, the Chicago player,
IN an Interesting game at the Deephayen courts
Saturday afternoon. Twenty minutes after the
game in singles, Collins reappeared on the
courts with Waidner, and the match Of the two
chicago players against the Belden brothers Of
Minneapolis for the honors in the doubles was
played, the Chicago team winning.
-, Hunt, with exertton of all his forces landed
the first game of the singles with score Of 4
points against Collins 2. In the second game
the score was reversed and AZ points in favor Of
Collins made the game Ii. In the third game
Collins lost his starting point by playing out
on the return of Hunts serve, and the only point
he gained in the game was when Hunt smashed
a lob into the net. The fourth, fifth, sixth,
ninth and tenth games were deuce games. Col
Inns won one Of the points in the ninth game by
first game in the second set, losing the point
which might have saved the game for him on
double in serving. The third and fourth games
came easily to Collins. The sixth was love

Collins to score in serving double. The best
play was shown in the third set -g., p.
Hunt won the fourth game after playing three
times deuce and the sixth game was another in
his favor, after he played Collins deuce. Collins
showed no weakness whatever after the three
games, not for moment did he let up on speed
and he held Hunt down with admirable tenacity.
Hunt lost ground in the final games. The third
and sixth games were to his score, but his play
had lost vigor and the eXertion Of fighting the
hardy player from Chicago told.

at disadvantage owing to slippery court
they played a fast and splendid game. George
Belden played his brilliant play at times anu
