Surprise Develops in Mixed
Doubles of the Open
Tourney.


progress made that it has been de-
cided to play the finals Friday. instead
of Saturday, as first scheduled. Although
most of the games were close and sew
eral ran into extras. when darkness put
| a stop to the play the second round
had been finished in the mems singles
ana the third begun. the first round of
the ladies' singles completed and the
second gotten under way and both the
! mixed and mems doubles broken into
| The surprise of the day, and which.
by the way. was by far the best set of
the tournament, showed up in the mixed
| doubles for the 'Pan-American'' cups,
when H. f. Doyle and Miss Barry de-
feated c. b. Doyle and Miss Doyle in
two we'll played sets by the scores of
l6-2 and 81 This match was a beau
tif"i exhibition of how the game should
be played. and the couples were much
more evenly matched than the scores
indicate. as almost every game was a
deuce one and was decided by extra fast
work by one side or the other
After having lost the first set the
! Doyles started the second by winning the
| frs: game. The Doyle Barry combina-
| ton won the second and then lost three
exciting ones, replete with fast work
on both sides, in succession making the
score in games to 1 In favor OF the
| Doyles. 1t looked as if the latter would
| get this set. but at this juncture their
opponents began creeping up until finally
| they won their fifth successive game and
| were declared winners.
Ladies Evenly Matched
The two ladies were about evenly
ma tched, although Miss Barry had the
stronger serve. Both played good, steady
| games, each making several fine plays
and being applauded time after time by
the large and enthusiasts site audience
Connie" Doyle seemed to depend on
| his speed to carry him to victory while
| II. +. Doyle did the Willie Keller
stunt of hitting it where they amt
| Both played good games, replete with
| spectacular PLAYS.
Another match which was of almost
| equal interest was that in the mems
doubles for the Halliday cups, between
Grosvenor and Grosvenor of Washing
ton and Davis and Hatch of Fort Monroe
Va. This match brought out some good
fast play and drew the greater part of
the crowd. After each side had won
one hard-fought set the crowd settled
| down to witness a battle royal for the
last set, and it was not disappointed.
Fast Work Here.
| The play was fast and furious and the
games would alternate from one side to
the other, until finally, after fourteen
games had been played. making the score
Z all in games, the Grosvenors won the
next two games. thereby winning the
| match, at the conclusion of which the
players on both sides were apparently ex-
| hausted.
| In the ladies' singles Miss Turtle de-
| feated Miss Doyle in two good sets, 6-4
and G-3. and Miss Marry triumphed over
Miss f. NJ Smith In rather easy style
Baron de Strive continued his winning
streak by defeating Davis in the second
, round of the mems singles. although he
had TO extend himself to the utmost to
do 1t.
