Courts,

Are Scheduled for Place 10 Doubles

some really fine pointed tennis is on at
Fort Douglas this afternoon, and there
was some OF 1t yesterday when the local
team Of Salisbury brothers passed defeat
10 team composed Of the former Ameri-
can champion, Sam Neel and Brown, and
thus qualified for place In the finals.
Likewise there was some more Of It
when the Roberts brothers won as dark
ness gathered, from Hunt and Badger,
and thus got TO within one place VI the
FINALS. with a prospect OF meeting the
salisbury brothers for the championship
Monday
The straws point pretty well to the line
up for the finishing contest now. This
morning no games are scheduled, but this
afternoon at 2:3O O'Clock the Roberts
brothers decided whether they or Conrad
and Mcleod shall appear in the finals. At
I.sO Hunt meets J, Salisbury In the semi
finals singles while at $50 +. Roberts
and Boyd meet to decide the question OF
place In the finals to be played Saturday
at 4 o'clock.
From the work of Hunt to date 1t is
very doubtful II he can be defeated as
a proposition In singles by any man on
the courts. His return drive Is the one
that wins 1t Is swift, low, and usually
sent 10 the most remote corner Of the
court from which the player is expecting
H. lie is to be almost conceded a place
despite the capable rival matched against
him.
As for his opponent, It is hard to pick
q winner between Il, Roberts and Boyd.
Roth are excellent men, but Roberts
seems TO be a favorte by shade, and
is booked by many wise ones to appear
tomorrow on the other side OF the net
from Hunt
Besides the singles finals tomorrow at
tCrnOon the women's singles are to be
played on with Miss Williams and Miss
Humphrey lined up at the finish, The
