4 start was made between second
teams Of the opposing cities. r. X. Cas-
satt and &. $. Bromley representing
Philadelphia, and &. u. Heckscher and
!. &. Waterbury playing for the local
club. The last named pair won four
straight games. In the clash between

tons Stanley Mortimer and {. c. Pell,
OF New York, defeated j. W. Wear and
Wilson Potter 4 games TO /.
Cassatt and Bromley had not been
playing long before it became apparent
10 all that neither of the Philadel-
phians was on his game. Bromley
service was faulty. while Cassatt had
difficulty in handling the speedy shots
from the bats of the New Workers. As
the match progressed. Waterbury. who
| Is a brother OF the rcdoubtable Lar
/ ry," got his service working effectively,
while his partner was fairly steady.
/ The racquets, however. was not of a
/ high calibre. though il is quite posi-
/ bic that the home team could have
/ shown more had the occasion demand.
/ ed. VI. s. Patton acted as referee and
/ James Mullins marked.
The brilliancy OF the play in the
second match more than made up for
whatever may have been lacking in the
other. Both sides had speed 10 spare.
/ Pell's kills to the corners frequently
/ brought applause from the gallery,
while the all-around play Of Ware was
I as much in evidence as when, in COM
pany with Dwight Davis, ne helped win
/ the national title in doubles.
For time in the first game the OPP
posing sides kept we'll together, but in
| the fourth hand the Philade lphians
/ took command of the situation with a
run of 6. That game they won, 10 TO
9. Conditions were reversed in the
second game, both Of the New Workers
displaying greater speed. Four hands
were sufficient, Mortimer and Pell Sc
curing a long lead in the second inn
ming with a run of !.
Five of the eight aces credited TO the
Philadelphia team in the third game
were scored in the first hand. There
after Pelps pulling service, backed
by the sound game of his partner, gave
the opposition few opportunities.
The tide turned suddenly in the next
game after the Philadelphia pair had
secured an 8 TO 4 lead. Mortimer then
went in TO serve, and he did not lose
his hand until aces had been run on:
Another point was scored before Pell
was hand out, and the local pair won
the game in the sixth inning on SER
vice and an opponents miss.
Il always looked like New York in
the fifth and decisive game. Long rail-
lies were frequent, but there vas no
withstanding the speed of the local
pair The shots TO the corners left the
/ opposition with well nigh impossible
/ gets. and toward the last Wear and
/ Potter seemed to realize tina. they were
/ badly beaten. Patton was referee OF
/ this match, while VIII Newman
marked.

Coincident with the racquets was a
court tennis match, though having nc
bearing on the struggle for the cup. In
this Lawrence Waterbury and Payne
Whitney defeated the Philadelphians
W. II. 7. HUM and George Brooke
three sets 10 one. As the last named
team won the tennis match in Phila
delphis recently, honors are easy in
that quarter.
When partnered with Jay Gould
Hum looms up like a champion, but il
was different story yesterday. Brooke
displayed an unstesdiness that became
more pronounced as the match pro.
crossed. BY using all his speed and
frequently finding the winning open
ings, HUM was chiefly responsible fol-
his side winning the first set.
Thereafter Whitney and Waterbury
were as steady as a rock. Waterbury
has never shone particularly at court
tennis, but the national racquet cham.
pion displayed fine head work yester.
day, and it was largely due 10 his
change of service which got the other
pair on the run. Brooke had the mos,
difficulty in handling the balls as they
dropped 10 the court. Whitney was in
rare form, his returns being made with
almost mechanical accuracy. After the
first set the New York pair won sbou,
as they pleased
