CRAIG BIDDLB
BEATS 4. B. DOYLE
In Remarkable Tennis Match in
Chevy Chase TOurney-Plsy
Starts To-day at 10 AN.

interest IN the CheVy ChaSe tennis
tournament $ growing rapidly as the
games are narrowing down to the finals
! and the favo-ites are preparing to face
each other. Yesterdays games were
largely attended and the different con-
| tests were made brilliant by crowds Of
fair rooters who enthusiastically ap-
plauded them champions.
The third and fourth rounds in the
mems singles were brought 10 a close
yesterday Afternoon in four great games,
the most remarkable OF which was seen
when Craig Biddle smOthered II. E.
Doyle, OF this city. by so. 7-5 score.
The performance Of Biddle was wonder
full, his fast. consistent playing fairly
driving the local man before him. The
Philadelphian played his first set with
out an error. placing his hard drives
with great accuracy, but loosened up in
the second and allowed Doyle fve games.
Walter Taylor had no difficulty in de-
feating A. NJ Chesley. winning by two
six love games. but will strike a harder
proposition to-day when he meets Biddle
in the semi-finals.
G. A Gordon and c. B. Doyle expe-
rienced no difficulty in winning their re-
spectlve matches against A. W. Howard
and Hugh Whitehead, and will meet to-
day in what is expected to be the class
lest event yet seen. The consensus Of
opinion is that Connie Doyle will sur
/ vive the storm and will contest the finals
with Craig Biddle. who will no doubt be
successful over Walter Taylor to-day
The finals may not be reached to-day.
but will take place tomorrow in order
that the winner may play the challenge
round Saturday with Gustav Touchard,
the present holder Of the cup.
In the semifnal round OF the women's
singles Miss Eustis gamely pulled her
self together after losing the first set
to Miss Bryan, and annexed the remain
ing two. She has qualified to meet Miss
Baker. who got the best Of Miss PeIIew
yesterday. in the finals to-day. The
game is sure TO be an interesting one
and will give the winner an opportunity
10 play Miss ROtal. OF Boston, the pres
ent holder OF the GrosvenOr Cup, who
will be on hand Friday to defend her
title.
In the best game in the women's
doubles the Misses Sewan went down
before Miss Eustis and Miss Smith after
putting up a great fight for the second
set. but losing by 6-2. -.
The mixed doubles will begin to-day,
and some interesting matches are ex-
pected under this head.
Attention is called to the fact that the
games to-day will begin at 10 a. m. and
