Colston Gets Good Start.

Colston received a good start In the
opening set, when he took four out Of the
first six games, and it looked very much
as II he would go out before Doyle could
get to working properly, but the local
man showed a splendid rally just in time
and by some excellent work took the next
three games. making it d. Colston
was lucky to get the next one. one
of Doyles smashes which went out by
but fraction of an inch giving 1t to him.
Doyle took the next two, which gave him
the set, IS
The second set went to the Baltimore
player 6-3. This was probably the best
set, as almost every game in it was
deuced, and ColstOn had to show all that
he had in order to take 1t. After he
had taken the first two games. Doyle
tied things up by taking the third and
fourth. Colston took the next two after
the hardest kind Of work. and was beaten
out in the seventh by being aced twice
With the score 4S. Doyle ran the count
to deuce. but could not win the next
lowing, thereby taking the second set.
The third set found both men playing at
their best. Each was equally determined
that the other would not win, and battle
first five. every one Of them being Cruel
ing ones, which were won by but single
point or SO. Colston counted a love game
on him In the sixth, but Doyle made up

to deuce any number of times. Doyle
took two Of the last three and thereby

the score Al in his favor in the first set,
but was suddenly taken Ill and from that
time on failed to win another game. It
him, as the sun was pretty hot He re-
covered sufficiently to take part in the
doubles little latter when he and his
brother. Conrad b. won from the Colston
brothers. 6-3 and Ga.
This match was just as interesting as
the Doyle-Colston match in the singles
The Doyles had less trouble in defeating
the Colston brothers than was anticipat-
ed. This is because ]. A. c. ColStOn is
not strong player and they directed
their attack at him throughout the match
keeping the ball away from Fred as much
as possible. The Colstons lead at times
in both sets, but from the start 1t could
be seen that the local pair was the
stronger.
In the first set. with the score 80
against them, they rallied and took the
next four games, which gave them the
set, 6-3
In the second with tho count Al
against them, they did the same thing
taking five straight. The card for this
