The winners yesterday played their
opponents steadily all the way. The
first and fourth sets were somewhat
on the spectacular order, and each
ran into deuce. The opening set re-
quired twenty games to reach a deci-
sion, although at first 1t looked like
O runaway set for the challengers,
who captured the first four games.
The defenders then took brace, and
ran five games in succession. BY
winning the tenth game, Behr and
Pell forced the set to deuce. The con-
tests then dragged along until the
twentieth game, when the challengers,
by a brilliant rally won, lis.
With the loss of the first set the
play of the defenders improved, and
they carried matters along in whirl-
wind style in the second set. In COM
bination work the defending pair
won five games in succession and
made the sets even -Four of the
final five games went to deuce.
The title holders appeared to go to
pieces in the third set, and lost game
after game in succession. They made
several clever rallies, but failed to
sustain them, and in the end went
down to defeat, 61. They appeared
to tire, and welcomed the fifteen
minute rest after the third set.
The fourth and deciding set was on
the give-and- take order, with the
rival teams alternating in the lead.
At the end of the fourteenth game
the score was TALL, when the defend
ers fell down entirely and the chal-
lengers took the Anext two games at
