women's singles and doubles has adj
vanced to the fourth round.
The feature matches Of the day
were the wheeler-knigh contest and
the Stellwagen-Lafans match.
j. H. Wheeler of St. Paul is one Of
the best known tennis players IL the
state. He plays a very heady and
consistent game and is always to be

of his game. The result was knight
won in a three-set contest, the score
being ga. 2-6. 60.
The match between Stellwagen and
Lafans was almost a repetition of the
aforementioned one as far as Great
ing a surprise was concerned. Laf-
ans has played good tennis for a num-
Der of years. and yesterdays exhibit
ton proved that he not only is still
in the game, but is playing better
than ever before.
Lafans Wins First Set.
The first set Lafans captured very
easily. the score being 81. The second
set was very hard fought. at one Pc
Rod the score standing four-all. But
Stellwagen, with great persistence.
kept the ball in play until the ia
tigued doctor lost his fight. Stell-
wagon. following up this advantage.
managed to win the next two sets,
Ga. 6-3.

Kennedy of Duluth. In the second
round Kennedy met Wilton Griggs of
CT Do,,1 orA Hofootnl hi,, i, - <h~-.
set contest. 3-6. GA. rs. Griggs
plays a very good game of tennis and

a feather / nhis hat. Not satisfied
with having disposed Of one st. Paul
contestant. Kennedy met Arthur
Hodgman in the third round and dis
posed of him in straight sets, 6-l,
6-3.
Another surprise in yesterdays
play was the defeat of +. II. Douglas,

l.. the third round by F. r. Albright
of st. Paul. The match was very
close. especially i'm the first set. which
took twenty games to decide. Albright
captured it after a hard fight. the
score being 11-9.
The next set found Douglas playing
his best tennis and he won, So. The
deciding set was won by Albright,
however. at the same score.
Burton and .Adarns Advance.
Ward Burton and John Adams
both advanced to the fourth round
by defeating their opponents in
straight sets. Burton met Kinyon ir
the morning although the latter
made some very good shots during
the progress of the play he could no,
brace at critical times, and Burton
Won. 6-3. 6-2.
John Adams is no doubt rounding
back into his old style form. He
showed very good form in his match
against M~arienhoff in the third round
when he won j nstraight sets. SO
60.
In the women's singles there re.
main but eight contestants. The ST
Paul players are Miss Drake and Mis-:
