the day was the doubles contest between
the Doyle brothers, the southern cham
pions of the Washington team, and Basil
Wagner and Roderick Colston of this
city. the Doyles winning after battle
6-3, So, 6-3. The defeat by Washing
ton today causes Baltimore to have made
the poorest showing in the association
of cities composed of Washington, Bal
timore, Philadelphia and Norfolk.
Baltimore has been defeated by each
of the otner cities, the local boys losing
every point in the games with Norfolk
and Philadelphia, although there was
good excuse in the games with Norfolk,
as the local team had to get along with
out its best members and depend upon
substitutes Norfolk stands the best
show to win, as it has hitherto not lost a
match, and Philadelphia promises to be
second.
There were twelve points to be made in
the contest between Baltimore and
the Capital city today, eight of these
points being in the singles and four in
the doubles Eight Baltimore men con-
tested with eight Washington men in
the singles, and of these contests Bal
timore won three, Fred ColstOn defeating
c. B. Doyle, Clarence Fisher defeating
Spencer Gordon and H. B. Davis beat
ing Lee McClung. There were four pairs
of Baltimore men matched with four
pairs Of Washington men in the doubles
and of these Baltimore men two. John
Kerr and Charles Brooks, defeated Z. P.
Grosvenor and Upshur Moorehead, while
Fisher and Davis beat Gordon and Nc
Chung.
The doubles match between the Doyles
and Wagner and Colston was the feature
event of the afternoon. The Doyles won
the first set and in the second set, with
a handicap Of three games which had
been taken by Wagner and Colston, the
Washington men started to fight for the
set. They succeeded in getting three
games, but lost the set. Wagner and
Colston made a game fight for the third
set, but seemed tired and at the close
played raggedly.
In the first set the Doyles got three
games at the jump. The locals took the
next three and the Doyles the next three
and set. After the locals had won three
games in the second set the Doyles took
one. to be followed by another for Balti-
more, Washington, Baltimore Washing
ton. Baltimore in the order given. Usual
ly where one side has won a set 1t will
not fight for the second set under a
handicap, but the Doyles played just as
hard for the second as the first. In the
third set the Doyles won the first two
games. and after that each side won an
alternate game until the last two games
were taken by the DoyIes.
The work Of c. B. Doyle at serving
smashing and general set play and pick
ups was as fine as has been seen here
for some time. He has one of the most
vicious serves, with plenty of steam be-
hind the ball.
The single games between Colston and
c. B. Doyle was a good match, as were
those of Fisher and Spencer and the set
between Upshur Moorehead and Charles
Brooke. Davis easily beat Lee McClung.
6-3. g.
Mr.. Z. p. Grosvenor, who defeated
Clifton Brown, is a we'll known member
Of the United States Department. of JUS
tice. and he is the man who worked up
the case which has just been filed In the
United States circuit court In Baltimore
against the so-caled bath tub trust"
Baltimore could probably have made a
better showing, but 1t missed the services
Of John Kerr and Curran Harvey in the
singles. The results were: -
Singles won by Westinghouse. f.
Doyle won from Basil Wagner 8--3, 60
Upshur Moorehead won from Charles
