Favorites Come Through in Big
Lawn Tennis Tourney on
Longwood Courts.

| Boston. July l5.-An innovation in cham
pionship lawn tennis was shown In the
twenty-second annual Longwood Cricket
| Club tournament in singles to-day when
| Hugh Tallant, OF New York, in his match
with Gustave F. Touchard, winner of last
years tournament, played without shoes.
| His feet were fncased in heavy socks,
but apparently he gained no advantage,
as he was unable TO gather In the deep
drives Of Touchard, who won in straight
sets.
Harold II. Hackett, who won the ma
tional doubles championship for several
years with F. B. Alexander. reappeared
] with Lloyd s. Mahan, Of New York as
playing mate for the Eastern doubles
championship. The pair showed brilliant
| lawn tennis in their match with q. II.
| Woods and G. W. Wightman, and won
easily
| Maurice E. Mclaughlin, the California
star, who won the all-comers last season
| at Newport. but was beaten in the chal
lenge round by Billy Larned, at e., 81,
| GO, enjoyed some good practice at the
expense Of J. S. Nelson in the singles.
| His service seemed quite as fast and
| effective as usual, while his smashing OF
lobs and general work overhead were &C
| curate.
