doubles tournaments were rushed along.

morning and afternoon sessions, are
practically through the second round.
The Chestnut Hill courts stood up well
under the morning play. although soft in
spots. making strokes uncertain and foot
ing not altogether satisfactory.
In the afternoon. however, wind
helped a little and the general playing
conditions were lot better The
matches in singles developed. nothing OF
more than ordinary play but there were
lot OF scrappy matches in doubles.
Most interesting of the morning doubles
matches was that in which r. n. Will
Jams I'd and w. VI. Wsshburn met W. f.
Porter and l.. B. Rice
Williams and Wsshburn won the
doubles at Longxood four years ago
Against them to-day the young Newton
pair won the first set, g. but could
not hold the pace, although forcing the
fourth to a - fnisL Washburn had
lot OF trouble with his backhand
strokes. while Williams was steadily
brilliant.
