Orton Blake Defeats Robin son and Mccoy Defeats WoIfOrd-Good Matches
 for Today

Two matches were played in the Young Mems Christian association tennis cen- ter championship yesterday afternoon and resulted in victories for o. Blake over D. w. Robinson and Mccoy over Wolford.
 Blake and Robinson started their match about Il o'clock and finished just before the rain. The match was some what a surprise to those following the play. Robinson was counted on giving Blake a close run, but Blake's experience at the game made him an easy winner. Robinson played well for the time that he has been playing the game and was very unfortunate in loosing every deuce game in the first set Three different times did he carry his serve to deuce only to loose it at the critical point.
 Blake did not extend himself and con- tented himself by well placed and chopped strokes. The victory today prac- tically insures Blake place in the finals. Score, 6-0, 6-O
 Wolford tried to put his team mate in doubles out of the running today, but encountered too much Mccoy to turn the trick Wolford put up a stiff match in the fist set and showed signs of winning, but Mccoy steadily grew better and was invincible when danger threatened. Both players played heady game and took advantage of every opening offered. Score, GA, 6-1.
 There will be some excellent matches played on the 'Y' court adjoining the building today, when Foster meets Mar tinsen, Jackson meets H. Smith, Jacobs meets Davis.
 The first of these matches will start at 4.20
