 F. B. Hawley and George Foster are playing G. Macy Wheeler and Jack Wheeler, Jr., in the final round tor the city tennis doubles champion ship, this afternoon on the courts of the Brooklawn Country club. This match went on at 330 o'clock and it Is developing some tennis equal to any played so far in the city cham pionships. At the same hour Mrs. Louis ,Synder and Mrs. Walter Wheel CT started on another court in the final round of the women's conso- lation tournament.
 Yesterday afternoon G. Macy Wheeler, the young Yale star, de- feated R. Warren Hall and won the sixth City championship. It was youth against veteran and the for mer won in straight sets, 7-5, 6-4. 6-3. Nearly 500 spectators witnessed the match and it was one of the greatest net battles ever staged in this city.
 Halls Game Strong.
 There was no doubt about Hall being able to stand the pace nor any question about the consistency of his too many times in the past. His game is. ever the same strong and speedy.-I in steadiness for what it may lack in brilliancy.
 But Macy was more or less of an unknown quantity. He has performed on local courts comparatively few times rt It was known that he could lift his game to great heights, but dency in his drives and smashes might creep in and afford Hall an opening to press his case was a mat ter for speculation among the ex- perts.
 The new champion proved his met tie beyond the shadow of a doubt and in so doing showed himself con versant with and at least a near mas fnr raf E<aIf I tNtt -1Ntc He was almost never caught out of position and seemed to have an un- canny intuition which directed him to the scene of action at all times.
 Hall really made his big stand in the middle of the first set when, with the score three to one against him, he reeled off f1ur successive games with the loss oe only a. point in each. bringing the game total to five-three in his favor. In the ninth game he was within a point of winning the set when with the score 30-40 Macy shot oyer two successive cannonbaJ serves which his opponent barely got his racquet on, netting each. The final point was won by Macy after a brilliant rally in which the latter took the net and kept Hall on the run until he finally drove the ball into the net Hall Fights Doggedly. All through the last two sets Hall was beaten man, and yet he re- to the end. With the score of five to two in games against him in the second set, Hall again put up a des- perate struggle to turn the tide of ninth game went to deuce, with Wheeler four successive times within point of victory and Hall once. Then the latter pulled the game out of the fire and took the next after losing the first point. But it was only brief rally and Wheeler went ahead at two sets to none on the
 The Title Won.
 The story of the last set may be briefly told. Wheeler quickly ran into ee-game lead and all, even. Hall himself, seemed to realize that the end was near. With the champion ship almost a dead certainty Macy drove and smashed with an abandon that seemed to care title whethe CT the ball found the court or the net or the territory beyond the base lines Only in his own service did he make sure of hts strokes and these games ne took as readily as he gave up those on Halls service. The last six games alternated with the service and when the final point was scored Hall was the first one to congratulate the new champion.
 John w. Wheeler, Sr., referee of the match, was the second one to reach the victor and W. Seymour Lacy, head linesman. Charles NJ. Bennett, last years title holder, and many others followed quickly
 Macy'S Strength Overhead
 A glance at the stroke analysis shows with what skill Wheeler played to win his new title. Hall has always been noted for his ability to return everything his opponent drove across the net. as well as for his ability to score frequent placement aces
 Yesterday it was Macy Wheeler who was counting on placements the ma jority of times. In the three sets he scored over twice many earned points as his opponent. In the first set Hall failed to put ball out of his reach until the final game, wher he earned two points.
 Possibly the greatest feature ot Macy's game yesterday, outside of the severity and accuracy of his service was his wonderful exhibition of vol 1eying at the net. Try as he would Hall could not pass him and it wa: only occasionally that he placed a low lob behind him in an unplayable man ner.
 Macy's overhead game was invinci ble and he realized this early, coming up to the net at every possible occa sion and finishing his points witt powerful smashes which sometime carried over the wire netting in bacl of the court. or with short. sharl angle shots along the net.
 Veteran Team Loses.
 One of the greatest surprises of tn tournament was the defeat of the vet eran team of. E. T. Buckingham am Gregory s. Bryan in the round befor the semi-finals of the doubles by Joh Wilson and Dr. Williams, two ne, corners in cham pionship tournamen play. The score was 6-1, 2-6, 6-4 Victory was achieved by the young sters by virtue of their adept lobbin to deep back court. The strength O Buckingham and Bryan in doubles greatest at the net and realizing thi their opponents fed them with lob from start to finish. driving ther back from the net at aliSt ines.
 Wilson and Williams started with rush, taking the first set with the los of only a game, but when the SCOT was almost reversed in the second SC and Buckingham and Bryant went the front at three-one in games in tn second set it was felt that the veteran had found themselves. The youngster rallied however. and made d stron finish Neither Buckingham no
