worthy of the game, and several ex.
ciung rallies kept interest up to the
highest pitch Seldom was Cooke
able to resort TO tossing over Nowell's
head the lauer's placing keeping his
opponent moving from side to side
Cooke also failed on his service, Civ
ing three double faults in the set. max
ing a total of six doubles for the
match, while Novel; only made two.
Rain fell heavily in the seventh game
but this did not make much difference
to the players, and the set ended six
one in favor of Novel;.
Cooke had the worst of every break
during the game; four times NOVEL;
hit the tape and the ball fell over into
the other court, and on one occasion
when the ball was going out of the
court after being played by Novel; It
struck the arc-light and the point had
to be replayed These points are not
mentioned to detract from Nowell's
victory, but simply as facts. Novel;
thoroughly deserved his win; after his
brilliant recovery in the first set it
would indeed have been disappointing
to himself and the spectators had he
lost out.
There was only a trifing wait be-
tween the end of the singles match
and the commencement of the dou-
bles, and r. A. Cooke went out for
the second game handicapped by
reason of the gruelling match already
played. With the balls dampened by
the rain, and the racquets wet. con-
ditions were not favorable, and to
further initiate against good play on
Dicks part. his racquet gave way. It
was impossible at the short notice to
secure another suitable racquet. all
available being too light for Dick, and
he continued to play with his damag-
ed racquet. The other three players
we're fresh and with Clarence Cooke
and Atherton Richards playing in
good form, the result was not long in
/ doubt. Bockus did not play as well
as on the previous evening. his
| lapses being due to over anxiety to
make up for the weakness of his
partner. Throughout the two sets
Richards played well. keeping nearer
the back line than is usual with him
/ and playing more in combination with
his partner. Clarence Cooke played
a very steady game, and made but
! few mistakes. Rain fell once or
twice during the match, but not in
r sufficient quantity to stop play.
though it interfered with the game to
a considerable extent
With Dick Cooke playing below his
| form, and Clarence Cooke and Rich
ards combining well, only two sets
were necessary to complete the match
and both Of these we're won by Clar-
ence Cooke and Richards Both sets
ended GA
Clarence Cooke also won the mix
ed doubles with Mrs. Coulter, and
Dick was runnerun in two of the tour
naments, the singles and the mems
