GRUELL|NG MATCH
 ON '. M. [. A. COURT
COunselman and Warren Defeat Brooks and Lange
 in Great Match

w T. Warren and J. S. Counselman defeated L. A. Brooks and R. L. Lange at tennis yesterday afternoon on the Y. M. C. A. court in one of the hard est matches ever played on the local courts. The victory was well earned and furnished a rare treat to those present.
 At the start of the match it ap- peared as if Lange and Brooks would make short work of the opponents. They started an offensive net game that completely dazzled their oppon- ents and took the first set by the lop- sided score of 6-1 Counselman and Warren were unable to place the ball between their opponents so well did they cover the court At the begin ming of the second set the champs faltered for short period and War ren and Counselman were quick to take advantage of the opening of fered. They went after their oppon- ents in great fashion and took the second set 6-3. Not being content with this set they immediately took the third by the score of GA.
 It was at the beginning of the fourth set that the gruelling struggle began. COunSGlnan ana warren LOOK the first four games of this set, while Brooks and Lange immediately fol- lowed this up with five straight games. It looked at this stage of the game as if Brooks and Lange would take the set but the game went five all and the contest took on the ap- pearance of an endurance contest It was nip and tuck until the games stood ten all. Lange, who had been serving well throughout the match, all lowed his opponents to take his serve This was followed immediately by Counselman. who won a deuce game thereby winning the set and the match
 The match was featured by spectac- ular playing of both teams at times but the most remarkable part of the match was the way in which Warren and Counselman stood up under the strain. Both teams suffered consider ably from the heat and were very tired a the end of the match Coun- selman and Warren played well to- gether. using good judgment at all times. Counselmans ground strokes were especially effective, while War ren was good at smashing and plac- Ing his shots Lang's smashing was one of the features of the afternoon play. He would make ace after ace from the middle of the court Brooks was slightly off his game He was spectacular a times but did not play

New York. June 23.-The remark able upward price movement in cot ton goods has been affected but very little by the fluctuations in the raw material this week.
