retained their title to the national racquet cham
pionshp in doubles yesterday by defeating Law
renee Waterbury and Charles F. Sands Of this city,
in the final round on the courts OF the New York
Racquet and Tennis Club. It proved to be the most
stubbornly contested match Of the tournament re-
curing seven games before a decision could be
reached
Long before the principals appeared for their
warming UP practice every available foot OF space
was taken by members Of the club and their friends
The Bostonians practised first, and then the New
Workers took the court for few moments. and

and George Standing. the clubs professional did the
marking
The first game opened dismaIly for the New York
PAIR. Waterbury went IN to serve, only to be put
out by his partner, who missed a return in the
back hand corner. Fearing and Scott each scored
two aces, making IT to love for Boston at the end
Of the hrst hand. The home pair counted three
times in the next hand. but from there the
champions had too much speed Fearing was as
supple as in years gone by, when student at Har-
ward he helped win intercollegiate athletic honors
for the Crimson by his exceptional high jumping.
1t was all New York in the second game.
Fearing put himself out for blank in the first
hand and then the New York pair were irresistible,
both men working well together, although Water
bury was credited with the greatest number of
aces. They won the game at l6-5. The longest
rally Of the match marked the final hand Of this
game, Fearing being eventually put out by Sands
on clever place shot.
Even work characterized the first three hands OF
the third game, but with the score 70 in their
favor, Fearing and Scott played almost faultess
racquets and won the game at Is Scott was
responsible for most of the aces for his side.

made three aces, but this was followed by a odsI-
ing count of 13 by the home players, Waterbury
