internationallst Little. worked up his short game
to perfection. He was successful ar this stage IN
holding both OF the champions and IN scoring inc
set despite determined attack Inc one thlHS
that the match. which was played In hlSh noruh-
west wind demonstrated was that Alexander and
Hackett are far superior to any other Of the douoes
pairs that have appeared in any OF the tournaments
this season.
The contest was begun yesterday with goodiy
gallery about the court. while Leonard BROOKS sat
in the chair as umpire and Gustave F. Touchard-
Miles s CharIock. Henry c. Martin, George r

From the champions side there was at once de-
W Ioped net attack Alexander voleyed and
chopped of Little's stingins returns splendidiN.
His shorter shots, which just nipped the
lines proved constant point winners. Hackett as
usual was at his best from deep court His pass
ing shots however seemed to have more pace. and
he worked excellently for the side alleys Winning
the second Of the match but the first ot the al
ternoOn. at 6-2 the champions let down on thsr
game bit.
1t was in the third act that Little came brtil-
iantIy To the fore. He played his short chop
strokes we'll and mis- low ground strokes Kept both
of the champions somewhat on the jump Proo-
ably Little played better tennis than IN th'S
set He the pivotal point OF every rally Inc
remarkable thing was that Behr was unsuccessful
i'm approaching LittIe's speed in any Of these ses-
sions of fast exchanges and returns. The entire
seven games OF the set revOived around Little IN
only one respect did he snow any signs OF weak
ness. and that was in handling the high loos
which the champions sent over the net with the
intention OF breaking Up his short and terrihcaHy
fast game. In handling the bail Little was uncer-
tain. but in a measure this due TO the strong
wind which swept the court. BY the burst cf
splendid form which he displayed In this set Little
managed TO have his side score, but he could not
hold 70 the same pace for the fnsl set
While Alexander and Hackett proved themselves
invfncible in The deciding set, which continued
o~rrfu- all
was never any period when they had walkover
II was tre concerted activity Of the champions
that held them safe. Hackett, from deep court re-
peatedIy found the narrow openings for passing
drive and his manner Of bringing Oft the shot
pleased the gallery tremendously. Behr was dis

low drives against Hackett usually resulted In h;s
sending the bali sapping into the net
Altogether the contest well played. and
throughout demonstrated the superiority of the
champions The wind necessarily made the play
fast. and this also brought Alexander and Hackett
TO the fore In the last match in which they will be
seen this year as Hackett resumes his pairing with
Little for the internationals against the Brttons
