HARRIS THE CHAMPION.
Won State Honors at Tennis Tourna-
ment. Splendid Exhibition of
s the Game.

The tenth annual Vermont state
tennis tournament had a whirlwind
finish Saturday afternoon when Col
lester and Porter, the champions of
1909, were again the winners of the
state. The playing throughout the
week was the best ever seen here
everything considered, and there are
some who believe that Fred H. Harris
of Brattleboro, the state champion
of this and last years tournament, is
the fastest player that has ever ap-
peared on our courts. He was in
splendid form and could have put
up a stronger game in the challenge
round had it been necessary.

Besides the local players there were

Burlington sent over F. F. Smith, F.

ers in e. w. Lawrence and J. G. Nell

champion came up from the Hub

MS club came up from New York
and though not in as good form as in
some of the earlier tournaments he
mas played in this spring, played Mr.
Pike close set in the second round
and did some fine work in the finals
IN the doubles. George w. Pike
of Springfield, the state champion in
1913, reached the semi finals and
should have beaten Mr.. Collester, but
the latter had more staying powers
and finally won after one of the clos
est matches of the week. Both stayed
in the back court playing a steady
and quite similar game, but when Mr.
COlleSter had a chance to smash the
ball he generally scored a point. Mr..
Collester could easily have defeated
his Worcester friend, but he saved
himself for the final match in the
championship doubles and defaulted
the match to Porter after each man
had won a set. Fennimore Cady of
Exeter, N. H, has improved much
on his game, excelling in his loffard
strokes and he won the consolation
cup against Albert Kicker of the
Dartmouth tennis team in a we'll
played match. In fact, many of the
matches were much closer than the
scores Indicated and the gallery.
