TENNIS PLAYERS SHOW FORM
Matches in City Championship Singles
Bring Out Fast Play.
MATTESoN DEFEATS SAM Caldwell
College Player Puts Veteran Out in
the Second Round and Moves to
Stronger Position In
Public Favor.

Six matches in the second round Of the
city tennis tournament at the Omaha Field
club were played Tuesday night before
a large gallery which was not partial to
the Field club players, but showered its
applause on all good plays. The courts
still continue to be very fast, and this
makes the play exceptionally fast. The
tennis is better as the wedding out process
goes on, and several surprises have been
sprung which have a tendency to enliven
the game.
Rae of the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation club team surprised all by beating
Dr. Van Camp, one of the veterans at the
game, in the closing match of the first
round The first set was give and take,
and Rae finally won. In the second the
doctor took the net and had all the
better of the argument, winning a love
set. In the final round Rae forced him
away from the net and Van Camp lost
when he was compelled 60 play back The
gallery had considerable amusement with
the doctor by accusing him of playing OFF
so as to get in the consultations, but his
loss was on the square.
MattesOn shows Great Form.
Matteson, the college player, took the
scalp of Sam Caldwell and gave the boys
a little linking Oh WHAT NlSJ oAS ~ SFNfSNN
later in the tournament. Caldwell was at
his best and accurate in every respect.
He thought that Matteson could not handle
his hard drives, but he soon had to give
IN that idea, as Matteson excelled him
at his own game. Matteson has great en-
durance and his stock has gone up con-
slderably since defeating Caldwell. His
service is speedy and most acurate, but
his second ball was inclined to be trihe
weak. BY clever headwork he was able
to place the balls just out of Caldwell 8
reach. He lobbed in fine form and showed
to a much better advantage when pressed
in a match than he has done heretofore.
No matter how fast Caldwell would play,
Matteson would play a little faster, so
that there Is no telling what his limit is.
In the Koch Brown match Brown had
Koch on the run with the final score Of
4O-love and 81. when a winning stroke
would have won the match, but Koch
kept his head and finally won out. Brown
was cratic at times and this finally lost
for him. Koch will play Matteson Wednes-
day evening.
scribner beat Wilson by playing in per-
feet form. Scribner has tantalizing way
of letting a game get to the edge and then
winning the deciding point This he did

to deuce. scribner played in his old form
and did not miss a chance, but played
much harder than he did the evening be-
fore. Results:
