reason why the secretary OF Wal
should put all the blame on thu
cadets The issue seems to be: Th'
Army doesn't want to play in Phila.
delphia and would much prefer New
York. but will play any place, if i
comes to the pinch. The Navy vii
play in Philadelphia and Philadelphia
only. and boldly says, unless the
game is played in Philadelphia, there
will be no game at ALL" This appears
to be the situation, but it is hoped the
i authorities will be able to straighten
out the muss. The Army~Navy game
is too good to lose.

The showing of George NJ Church
and Dean Mathey against Maurice e.
Mclaughlin and Thomas c. Bundy in
the championship round at Newport
yesterday was surprisingly poor. The
young Jerseymen were looked upon as
keen contenders for the doubles title,
which has been won by the Cali
fornians for three years in row.
Before the matches started the inter-
est was at a high pitch and tennis
society of the ultra sort was repre-
scented in large numbers. But it
didn't require many minutes to prove
to the large gallery that in McLough-
| lin and Bundy Church and Mathey
had more than met their match. As
the contest progressed this fact be-
came even more apparent. The
youngsters were not only over
matched, but they were slightly
frightened in the bargain. On the
whole their game was very poor, and
so their opponents came through easy
winners. Now and then the Jersey
boys displayed flash Of their tennis
skill, and the difference between the
pairs was not so noticeable. Mathey
was particularly erratic, while Church
now and then gave fine exhibition
Of tennis.

The victory of the Californians
gives them the possession of the valu-
able cup, which must be won three
times. The fact that they must win it
to own 1t seemed to add strength to
their game, and thus they played at
vice. They rushed the play and they
won in three straight sets. and they
never were really in danger. Nc
Loughlin played wonderful game
far better than he played in the Davis
cup doubles. Bundy, as usual, was
reliable, and he is easily the best
man as partner for Mclaughlin, al
though 1t cannot be disputed in the
few tests made Mclaughlin Jared
much better with Karl H. Behr, the
Jerseyman, than he did with Bundy,
his townsman.
Interest in tennis hereabouts is be-
coming greater every day. The clubs
are getting real active and the or
ganization of tennis association lis
evidence that new spirit is being put
into the pastime. At Branch Brook
Park and at Weequahic Park tennis
is much in favor Sand practice is being
INDUCED in ont the various club courts
in preparation Nor the tournament
which is to be held under the aus
pieces of the Northern New Jersey
Tennis Association in September As
an exercise tennis is particularly
beneficial. and not few of the fair
sex are playing the game in order
to reduce their avoirdupois.

Praise for the races at the Velo-
drome are given below:

J. P. N:
Splendid day and splendid racing
everything was splendid in every way
at the Velodrome. Now, l witnessed
the racing at Brighton Beach and
must say that Clark did show some
class again. Now, why sick Frank L.
onto Bill Bailey when he comes?
think 1t would be more exciting il
Rutt or "Goullie" got chance first
Even Clark. I think, could show him
the way home. Give Moretti q
chance at Walter Rutt. How long
was Willie Hoppe the American
| billiard champion?
| ITALIAN CORPORATION.
Clark rode well at Brighton, and HI
seems to be improving. Don't worry
about Bailey-he'll be able to taxi
care of himself. Moretti's next chanc,
will be against Goullet. In 1901 Hopp'
defeated Maurice DAILY for the Ameri
can championship.
