an uncertainty. 1t seemed TO be agreed
that the match should he drawn AMI the
men shook hands at the net. Man was

crs gauged their shots with any degree Of
certainty on tho fast board courts. r. II.
Gates. r. {. Gates and \. IT, :fan, Jr..
We're the shining exceptions in this respect
As starter for the singles, F. II. Gates,
rated AZ the strongest man on the Yale
team. faced William b. Cragin, Jr the
regimental champion Cragin spreadeagled
tho courts. and following up his drives by
swift attack at the net he disposed of
| Gates at 6-S. 6-5. The other brother went
down before King Smith by score of 81,
81. Smith was having one OF his best
days at driving. lie sent the ball sweep
| ing through the opposite court with plenty
| Of pace and always true TO the lines Smith
! brought off some startling shots. His
! hackhanders straight down the sides were
/ especially good. so that r. c. Gates never
really had an opportunity TO get his game
/ fairly started.
! II was close contest which Man won
| from Moore. The latter was seemingly of
| his driving game and. as a consequence. he
/ played pat ball He did the same thinS
/ In tho doubles. and this lack OF free hitting
on the part of Moore was puzzling to his
| opponents, although il did not produce the
most spectacular sort OF play. Walter
! Merrill Hall. in his match. had no difficulty
! IN defeating J. l.. Cote, jr.. 81, 6-3
