Cadet Corps Courts.
[By Telegraph to The Trioune.l

Boston. Dec. 1.-Fine racket work on the
part of the 9TH Regiment lawn tennis team
brought it victories IN all of the matches to-
day against the team of the Boston Cadet Corps
The competition was the first of the intercity
indoor league championship. in which Brooklyn
is represented by the Heights Casino. and for
which Philadelphia also made entry, but re-
tired at the last moment because OF inadequate
playing space. The result OF the matches came
as surprise to the Bostonians assembled about
the courts in the cadets armory. Beals c.

H Hovey officiated for the singles. Both are
ex-national champions
Robert T. Bryan. the 9TH Regiment champion,
was the first take the court, against Richard
Bishop, of the cadets. The latter played with
speed during the first set and got his drives off
the hard board courts with such long bounds that
he earned many clean After losing the
first set at 6-3 Bryan settled into his game.
varying between driving and coming up to the
net for sensational smashing. BY this method
he forced the cadet expert uron the defensive
and finally won by the score Sc. 6-3. 6-S.
Two sets were sufficient for William B. Cragin

off sharply. and puzzled Lowering with the
difficult angles Of the bounds OF the ball that
he was never hard pressed for the aces and

In the doubles contest r. s Blake and A B.
hltchcock, jr.. OF the Cadets. made brilliant
rally IN the first set BY rapid work near the
net they forced the points to deuce in many OF
the games. and the deuce was called on games

line. and the ever present Dague was on the
ball like flash Spencer got three yards at
the centre and then Norton dropped back as If
to make drop kick for goal Instead he made
a long, daring forward pass TO Bernard. The
ball went over his head but Ingram received it
the Army's 1O-yard line, and in less trns
than 1T takes to tell it was over the line for
touchdown, from which Norton kicked a goal.
The play a duplicate of the which
brought victory for Yale over HaSSard a week
ago. and showed the master mind of Rockwell.
Yale's head coach who has spent the last few
days with the Navy team.
The midshipmens cup OF happiness was now
overfowing, and the rest of the game was a
5ubilation for them. They watched the play
and cheered and Cheered. but were impatient
for the time when they could give their enthu-
siasm full vent. The Army team fought on in
the vain hope Of a score. but the end came with
the ball the centre OF the field.
Then the stands overfowed and the sailors
rushed the field to carry their heroes off in
state. The players made a wild dash for their
dressing rooms. however. and most Of them
escaped the hugs of their half crazed fellows.
And while the midshipmen danced in glee. the
cadets marched off the field as they had
marched on-like true soldiers.
