Baltimore Tennis Tourney.

BALTIMORE. Md, May 20-Theodore
Roosevelt Pen Of New York won the
annual spring tennis tournament Of the
Baltimore Country Club yesterday after
noon by defeating J. A. C. Colston in
straight sets. Pell was a bright star, also
being a member of the winning trio in
the doubles.
A large gallery witnessed the matches.
On all sides of the court the interested
spectators crowded for a place to see the
contestants battle. Most of them remain
ed until nearly o'clock, when the match
in the finals of the doubles was COM
pleted.
Pell merely toyed with Mr.. Colston,
While the latter played well. he was han
dfcapped by meeting an older and more
experienced opponent. In the final match
it was decided that the title should go
to the player landing three out Of five
sets In the first set Pell won, 6-3. The
New Yorker played brilliantly in the
second and won, 81. Colston seemed to
have struck his stride in the final, Pei
finally winning by a score Of 70.
Yesterdays play brought the tourna-
ment to a close Pell won the singles
and Bull and Pell carried Off the honors
in the doubles. The most important
match, however, is scheduled for this
afternoon, when Pel1 meets Wallace john
son In the challenge round. This pair
clashed on the Chevy Chase Country Club
courts, Washington, and 1t required five
sets to bring out the winner. The match
this afternoon will begin promptly at
