defeated him by score of 81 60. 1o--S-
This was the third time that Grant has
earned the title. he won the champion
ship in 1903 and 1904. Edward h. Dew
hurst of the University of Pennsylvania de-
feated Grant in the final round last year.
An acing service contributed TO Grant
winning yesterday in no small degree.
With all the skill and tinesse that Fisher,
the ex-metropolitan champion, possessed.
he was not once able to break through
against his opponents terrific pace. Cou-
pied with his good service, Grant played
steadily. He got the ball back, and al
lowed Fisher to work out his own defeat
by his faulty returns.
The clever work of Grant. which led to
his regaining the indoor honors, caused con-
siderable comment among the large gallery
of spectators Few of the top-class eX-
perts can approach the speed which Grant
exhibits upon the fast board courts. 1t was
the expression of the followers of the sport
that Grant has demonstrated that he rela-
lively outciasses all other players in this
country as covered court player, and
plans are afcot to arrange match either
this season or next. with some of the repre-
sentative Englishmen. Grant will have
other opportunities to show his skill this
season. as Mrs. Barger- Wallach was pres
ent as spectator, and she declared her in
tention of again holding the indoor tourna-
ment in the St. Nicholas Rink, which
proved so popular last year.
During the first set both Grant and
Fisher played carefully. each winning on
service up to four all. In the ninth game
Grant outplayed Fisher by clever placing
of his returns. Upon his own service in the
last game of the set Grant aced Fisher
three times with comparative ease.
The full strength of Grants game was
developed in the second set. Fisher was
only successful in winning his first and fifth
games on his service. as in all of the other
games Grant drove the ball back for a pass
or sent 1t so low over the net that Fisher
either returned it into the net or sent it out
of court.
Fisher increased his speed in the third set,
while Grant let down somewhat on his play.
Both men played evenly up to eight all,
Fisher making heroic efforts TO score
against Grant on the latter's service. Fish
er brought the points to deuce on the sew
enteenth game by brilliantly played place
shots along the side lines off his backhand.
He used his service in this game effectively,
but Grant came up to the net at the criti-
cal period, and by two whirlwind smashes
won the game and took the next by clever
passing on his service. The summary fol-
lows:

HhUGHT0N WON
RACQUET CHAMPIONSHIP

BOSTON, February 27.-Payne Whitney.
national amateur racquet champion in 1903,
was beaten yesterday afternoon IN the final
round of the national championship tourna-
ment by Percy ,. Haughton of the Boston
Tennis and Racquet Club. The match was
played on the Boston Athletic Association
court.
Never before had the racquet experts
been surprised at the result of n ma
tlonal tournament. Whitney seemed to be
a certain winner and was big favorite
over the old Harvard foot naH and base
ball player. The first set Mt to the
New Yorker. and likewise the second. and
the chances for Boston landing the cham
pionship looked decidedly slim But Haugh-
ton rallied early in the third set ard before
1t was half over the enthusiasts present
knew that he was beginning to shcw some
evidence of the form which he possessed
when he beat Waterbury, the 1905 cham
plon.
In the first two sets Whitney won only
after the hardest kind of a fight. Haugh-
ton changed his style of service. and in
stead OF driving on with the lightning
smashes he began to shoot over slow, puz-
cling. tantalizing serves, which ratified
Whitney The latter was unable to gauge
accurately, and he was soon chasing all
The third set found Haaghton a winner
by a narrow margin and when he began the
fourth he was in splendid condition and
confident His play became even more eau
uous, but whenever an opportunity pre-
scented he took the risk of lightning serv-
ice and the risks invariably were attended
by good results. Whitney fought stubborn
ly for that odd set but he was doomed
to disappointment as Haughtou grew more
determined and finally had his opponent on
even terms by taking the set,
The score was even when the two players
went into the fifth set. with Whitney still
the favorte. The gallery was of the opin-
ion that Haughton's squirt would give out
before the experience and cuts of the vet
eran New Yorker, but Haughton was not
to be downed so easily and he forged into
the lead He remained there until the set
was concluded which gave him tAe cham
pionship, a solid silver loving cup. His
