TENNIS TOURNEY STARTS
Three East Contests in Singles Played
at Country Club Yesterday After

at Country Club Yesterday After
noon.
In spite Of the rather soggy courts
three fast contests in mems singles of
the tennis tournament were played at
the Bois-Terre country club yesterday
afternoon. Earlier in the day it ap-.
peared that wet weather would pre-
vent the players from using the courts,
but the tiny peep Of sun in the middle
OF the day served to harden the courts
sufficiently to make play possible.
Winners in yesterdays contests
were r. r. Nickels, Of Laurens, and
j. f. Jacobs, Jr., and n. d. Jacobs, of
Clinton. R. r. Nickels defeated w.
p. Jacobs, of Clinton, in the first con-
test of the tournament. The first set
resulted in score Of 6-3 in favor of
Nickels. The second set went into
love games and finally resulted 10
to 8 in favor of Nickels, eliminating
Jacobs from the singles and carrying
Nickels into today's contests.
j. f.. Jacobs. Jr., defeated j. F.
Blackmon by scores 60, 6-1 and 6-1
Although these games appear from
the scores to have been one-sided
Blackmon showed a fine line Of ten.
mis- and pushed his opponent hard ir
nearly every game.
The last contest Of the afternoon
was between II. D. Jacobs and Johr
Spratt, OF Clinton. Spratt lead of
with victory of 6-3 in the first set
but Jacobs steadied himself in al
phases Of the game in the two follow
ing sets and won out 60 and 6-2.
! The contests in singles will be re
sumed at 2 o'clock this afternoon ant
will continue until the finals whicl
will probably be played Friday Or

long as at first expected.
