-Four matches were played in the
champion tennis tournament yesterday
afternoon, with the above results, all
being on the Bcrctania courts except
the Judd BoclCus match, which was

The NOVEL; Cooke match was the one
upon which all eyes rested, and from
the start the two men fought for every
point
The lanai Of the clubhouse was filled
with spectators, among which were
many of the fair sex, and along Young
street In front OF the courts the entire
space was taken up by automobiles.
Rally after rally of long duration was
played, when the ball went back and
forth from one side Of the, net to the
other. aud each time is was so placed
by the player that his opponent had to
cover lots of ground to make the re-
turn.
At times both players laid off, and
then again they went at the play for
all that was in them, and there was
one time when Cooke could have won
the game, set and match by one more
point, but this point he was unable to
get.
The men each had one set, and the
games In the third stood "a in Cookies
favor and tine score OF the game was
$3.50 to him. just one point would
have ended everything and put him
into the next stage Of the play this
afternoon. But Novel; took strong
rally and won the game, making a
deuce set, which was finally awarded
to him Sc
Novel; won the toss when the match
started and took the mauSa court. For

and so on to the end, Novel; winning
