TENNIS

Newport. r. T., Aug. 2S.-After COM
ing through to the finals without lo:.
ing a sirGlc set and administering u
most uno ypected defeat to former
Champion William j. Clothier in the
semi-finals. Fred E. Alexander of New
York today suffered a crushing defeat
at the haEdS of former Champion BeaiS
c. Wright of Boston, in the final match
of the all-,omerS national tennis tour
nament at the Casino. only three sets
were required to decide the match. and
in each set Wright was the winner by
the score of ST. games to three. Alex
ander showed a surprising reversal Of
form and his strokes. while brilliant
at times, were very erratic.
The former champion, who has an
peared Il trifie careless in some of his
mate hes in this tournament, was at his
best today and his accurate shots and
clever passes were loudly applauded
by the large gallery.
Tomorrow Wright will meet Cham
pion William A. Larncd in the match
for the title While Larned up TO To-
day has generally looked upon as well
assured of retaining the championship
for another year, the showing made
by the Boston man today caused the
experts to feel much in doubt tonight
as to the probable outcome of 'tomor-
VS. contest.
Wright lost only one set throughout
the tournament, that being to Nat
Emerson of Chicago in The semi finals
Wright won the championship in 1905
while the title has fallen to Iarne1
three times. in 1901, 1902 and 1907.
