DOUBLES PLAY TO-DAY.
Wright and Little Meet Southern
Cham paons on Crescent Il. &. Courts.

All the pairs entered for the national lawn tennis
doubles preliminary matches at the Crescent Ath-
letic Club were at Bay Ridge yesterday practis-
ing The Westerners Nat Emerson and L. H.
Waidner, arrived yesterday morning They played
part of set in the afternoon against Hugh White
head and James Winston the Southern champions.
and then played against Harold II. Hackett and
Frederick 3. Alexander the national champions
who will meet the winners of the preliminary at
Newport for the title, The Eastern champions
Beals c. Wright and Raymond D. Little. took On
the Southerners after their games with the West
players
The long ride had put the Western Peir
somewhat of their game but IT was seen that
Emerson has good service and is a good general
In doubles match. The Westerners are supposed
TO have a good chance win II Waidner Is on his
game. Emerson is very steady and dependable.
and they viii go far If waidner does in his match
what he is capable Of.
The Southern players did not give an impression
Of tremendous ability. Winston is the better dou-
g,les man. although his smaller partner is good at
singles Wright and Little should nave no easy
time with the Westerners. Wright is hardly In
form at this moment or rather he has been IN
better form.
The first match is scheduled for this afternoon
at o'clock Wright and Little meet Whitehead
and Winston.
