Garland Double Victor
On Southampton Courts
In Brilliant Tennis Matches Disposes of Davis in
Singles and Paired With Tilden Beats Lycett
and Thomas in Doubles.
ny EUGENE r.. o'CoNNELL.

SOUTHAMPTON, Aug 23.-Charles &.
Garland of Pittsburg was twice winner
in the tennis tournament at the Meadow
Club here to-day. In the singles the
young player from the middle West dis
posed of Willis Z. Davis OF San Fran
cisco, former national court champion
In straight sets at Ga. 6-3, 6-3. In
the doubles, paired with William T. TIL
den I'd OF Philadelphia, Garland beat
Randolph Lycett and r. v. Thomas Of
Australia in straight seats, at IS,
60, "a.
The weather was practically perfect
FOR tennis. The sun was strong and
baked the turf into good condition. A
large crowd was out to see the final
matches, and the gathering was treated
to splendid tennis. Neither Davis nor
Garland had ever shown out above the
ordinary in the tournaments here, hence
there were many who did not expect to
see brilliant battle to-day, but they
were disappointed.
As a matter of fact the final round
of the singles turned out to be one OF
the best matches ever seen on these
courts. Garland was in wonderful con-
dition. He played ever shot as II the
national championship depended on II.
He outplayed Davis in every depar tment
Of tho game even from the start
Garland Plays Back.
Davis had seen Garland play before,
and realized that II he were to accom-
plish anything he would have to bring
the Pittsburg youngster up into fore
court. Garland is wonderfully steady
when playing from the baseline, and no
stroke seems too severe for him to
ha 10 haA ~,
However, the boy from the Smoky City
had no intention of engaging in any
more duels at the net than were abso-
lutely necessary. Garland stuck TO the
oaseline and sent his strokes back over
the net with plenty of speed. His accu-
racy in chasing the ball along the side
lines and back to the corners was some
thing to be marvelled at
Garland, knowing the weakness OF the
Californian on the back hand. kept ham,
mering away at that point with mercl-
less presidency. Davis attempted to run
around these shots when ne had the
chance and take the ball on his power
full forehand, but the Pittsburg youth
was hitting the bull's-eye so regularly,
no matter how small the openings, that
Davis was compelled to play the ball
from his left side most OF the time, and
his returns were generally purely de-
fensive in character.
Theodore Roosevelt Peil presided as
umpire. and a great gathering of lawn
tennis lovers, banked on both sides of
the court, on the club house veranda and
on the grandstand, made a brilliant set
ting for the match.

points. The young Pittsburg player. be-
