 ] against Aver. of the Normal the hon i ors finally going to the High school
 In the doubles, the university beat the High school in the finals But the con ] test that attracted the most attention
 was that between the young ladies of
 the High school and the Normal. Miss Ainsworth, of Phoenix, was matched | against Miss Hubbard of the Tempe ! The playing was interesting from the | beginning to the end, and the large crowd watched them eagerly. Miss
 Ainsworth won the deciding set. but lit took eighteen games to finish it. i Miss Hubbard, however. had her re- venge in the afternoon, when with Miss Ullman she defeated Miss Aims
 worth and Miss Baker.
 The tournament was such a success : that it was concluded to form a per manent organization. Officers were ] temporarily elected and committees appointed to draw up a constitution ] The organization is to be known as the Arizona Tennis association. and any ] school in the territory may become a
 member.
 ] The present membership contains 1 only the four schools mentioned above. ! Each school pays a certain sum int i the common treasury each year. which 1 goes to defray the expense of the tour nament. the greatest part being the payment Of part of the travelling ex- i penses of the Tucson boys
 At the invitation of the Normal and considering the fact that that institu- ton has the best tennis court in ArI- zona, it was the wish of the assacia- ton to hold the tournament at Tempe. To add more interest to the tourna ment the Tempe Normal Tennis club offered two beautiful silver cups to the association. These cups are tp be play ed for at the tournaments The school first winning any one of the events 1 three times (not necessarily in success 1 sion) is to become the permanent pos
 sessor of the cup This system will no 1 doubt stimulate a great deal of enthu- siasm among the schools.
 Much to the regret of the High school and the Normal school. neither
 the university nor the Indian school could enter young ladies in the tour nament. The High and Normal schools then decided to have a match by
 themselves. With the money contrib uted by the two schools. three beau 1 tiful sterling silver cups were bought and will be given as individual prizes
 to the young ladies winning in the sin
 gles and doubles. These three cups
 as well as two large cups for the gen
 tlemen have been on exhibition at Cooks during the last week and are
 now at Tempe
 To say that the tournament on Sat
 urday will be exciting is putting l.
 mildly. The High school claims every thing in sight and il will indeed tax.
 an exceptionally good player to defea-
 Fickas in the singles In Tucson they
 have already constructed a case for
 the cup in the gentlemen's doubles
 Neither the Indian nor the Normal
 school is saying much. but they do q
 great deal of smiling. As formerly
 the match between the girls is going
 to attract much attention. The friends
 of Miss Ainsworth predict victory TOT
 her, while on the other hand Miss
 Hubbard lacks no supporters. In the
 doubles neither Miss Ainsworth nor
 Miss Hubbard play. and therefore it
 is hard to say how well matched those teams are.
