MIDDLE STATES
TENNIS TOURNAMENT

The annual middle Atlantic states tennis
| tournament began upon the courts of the
Bachelors Lawn Tennis Club, 18th and NJ
streets northwest yesterday afternoon at
2:3O O'Clock before small gallery. Though
the rains of the past few days had served
to soften the courts still when the first
matches We're called the ground was in
good condition.
Nearly all of the matches, with an ex-
ception so, showed of the opposing
players to be decidedly averse to any fast
play. Hackett. a Harvard junior. and Will
liam Curtis Hill played one set, which, after
quite an interval, ended lib in HIS
favor. Hackett had won the first set by
SO, and finished the third one by Ga. He
played far back all of the time, and seemed
decidedly against coming up to the net
for fast play at any period of the con-
test. This disposition on Hackett's part,
as well as some of his back hand strokes
served to make the second contest SO long
drawn out. The veteran, Van Hoesen, and
j. T. Hendrick played in the preiminaries
The latter managed to win the first by oil
but Van Hoesen struck speedy stride in
the second and won 81. In the third Hen
drick was stronger, but lost by Ga. A. Y.
Leech and Parkes also played in the pre-
liminary matches, and at the close Parkes
was the winner. Scores, 60 and 81. DR..
Glazebrook and Whitlock of the Hermitage
Club of Richmond played early, the ply
scian winning handily in 6-3 and 81. Con-
rad B. Doyle, present champion, is entered
in the final to defend his title against the
winner of the tournament.
Franklin Geoghegan. former champion of
middle Atlantic states and the District.
made his appearance upon the courts in a
match with Hyatt, which he won handily
by g. and 60. His fast playing at the net
served to show that the winner has lost
none of his splendid style of play, and will
be in the contests at the close.
