Both players showed remarkable skill and

the score was Hueston. 8; De Orc. g. In
the next five innings the players made

Hueston took the lead again in the

shots of the evening. The cue ball was
about half way down the table, six inches

spot ball was close against the rail near
the head Of the table. Hueston drew on
the red to the foot of the table. The cue
ball then rolled to the head of the table
almost in the jaws, and spun along the

Today's game-Brightwood VS.. Takoma
Mount Pleasant played their first game
yesterday and showed promise of develop
ing into one OF the leaders before the
season is much older. They have q fast
fielding team and a nu.nber OF strong
batters. All they need Is little more eX-
perience and few good twirIers.
The Petworth team shows a sad lack OF

won have been a result of good twirIing

Some time during this week work will
be started on the construction of seats

Hard Notwithstanding
Struggles in Doubles Today.

| With President Taft one of a large
audience and with ideal weather pre-
vailing the third annual renewal of the
Chevy Chase Clubs tennis tournament
| was launched yesterday afternoon. Never
| in Washington racquet history has such
a galaxy Of local and out-of-town stars
been brought together, and those in
charge are justly proud of the fact that
this years affair has set a standard
which can hardly be improved upon. In
addition to Harold and Conrad Doyle, p.
H. S. Cake, Ralph w. Hills, Spencer
Gordon, Homer Dies and G. II. Gros-
venor, who are considered to be our best
local talent; Wallace F. Johnson, inter-
collegiate champion of the United States
and classed as the third best player in
the country; l.. E. Mahon, former inter-
delegate champion; w. Hackett, former
captain Of the Harvard University tennis
team: George F. Touchard and w. IL.
Cornell of New York and several other
out -of-town cracks are among the en-
trants.
Much better progress was made yester-
day than was expected, with the result
that all of the fiji st round, all but one
match of the second and several matches
in the third round have been completed.
The consultations will be started this art
ernOOn, play IN tNe ItfeH oiuSISS Wfii
be continued and the first ROUNDS in the
mixed doubles the women's singles and
the mems doubles will be gotten under
way.
Tho best playing of the day was
brought out in The Doyle-Touchard match
in the third round, when, much to every
ones surprise the local man was de-
feated The men were much more even
iy matched than the score indicates. al
though it must be said that Doyle did
not play W to his usual form. while his
opponent put up a wonderful game. The
play was fast throughout and each set
was repIete with long rallies Of brilliant
play, the final point generally going to
rouchard. He played in perfect form.
and should he display the same form
throughout the tourney he should be able
to give Wallace Johnson the game Of
his life when these two meet. Which
ever one wins. 1t looks as if Connie
Doyle has his work cut out for him l.
he wants to retain his title in the chal-
