The first round of singles was
completed in the Signal Mountain
tournament yesterday and all of the
seventeen matches were played, al
though several in the evening were a
little late. Play continued until mid
night and some good tennis was seen
by the spectators who came to the
courts after dark. The next singles
will be played Wednesday afternoon
as Tuesday Is taken up with the
mems doubles and mixed doubles.
After the play yesterday many pick
Marker Patten as the winner Of the
mems singles, as his game yesterday
was one of the best exhibitions of
skill and knowledge of the game
which has been seen on local courts.
The next single match, which should
be thriller, will be played between
Marker Patten and A. M. Johnson.
Both of these are expert tennis play
ers and are well known in the city.
These have come through with hon.
ors several times in the tourna-
ments which have been held here in
the past few years. Phil Whitaker
played a. steady game against J. NJ.
Bright and defeated the latter in two
hard fought sets, the second being a
deuce set. Whitaker Is a hard
player and II eliminated before the
finals will give his opponent hard
battle. '-.. .'st..
