TENNI3 NOTE8.
All of the preliminary and second rounds
nnd part of the third were played off Wed
nesday. Logan, Davis, Hunt and Howell
reached the seml-seinl-flnals. With good
going Thursday, the semi-finals In singles
and doubles, and, perhaps, In the ladles'
singles, should be reached.
Tho doubles between Blackihear .and
Tsylor against Byrd and Tlchenor waa ono
of the hardest fought of the day.
atrenuaua did It become that It was moved
over to the first court In front of tho
grand stand, where the spectators could so4
the finish. The Macon team proved too
much for the homo pair, but both aides
fought hard for It/
Williams and Bcott put up a good
match against Hunt and Lee, but tho
University of Michigan aggregation was
too atroug for tbs local players. All the
games were hard fought, but tbe final
score was 6-3, 34, In favor of Iluut and
Lee.
Hunt, tbe future book favorite for the
Southern championship, put la a busy day.
He played through hla first, second and
third rounds In singles, sod hla first match
In doubles In fast order. Ho was fortunate
lu striking reasonably easy opponents,
while Thornton, tbe man Atlanta Is backing
to best him, went against Ill-luck In tbo
draw, snd has tome strenuous matches In
tha preliminary rounds.
B. W. Daley, of Xaabvllle, la playing
fine tennis. He defeated Charles Rodgers,
of Knoxville, In tbe second round, and
Walter C. Lee, of Michigan, In tho third.
The I>aley-Lee match was one of the long-
oat of tbe day. The ecore waa 6-1, 34, 6-4,
and all tbe gamee ware bard fought. Tho
two play much alike-* careful, easy hit
ting, hard placing sort of a game. Neither
man bit tbe ball with any degree of
strength even In what might have been
•smashes,” bnt their placing and passing
waa remarkable.
Bland Logan, of New Orleans, has played
good tennis throughout. He la a marvel of
agility, and knows tbe game from end
to end.
Tbe entire New Orleans delegation
seems to be In great favor with tbe spectS'
tore and players. All of them play bard,
sportsmanlike tennii, and tbe good wishes
of tbe bunch go with them every time they
■tart a match.
About tbe coolest headed player In ths
tournament la Ham Williams. Apparently
he has no chance agnlnat a crack player,
and yet he mows them down one after
another. Hla knowledge of tbe game ami
bis refusal to know when be Is beaten
combine In making him a hard man to con
quer.
Reobeu Hunt, theUniversity*of Michigan
player, will be a hard one to beat out of
tbe cup. tie la a man of great height,
■ml he poeseeees a wonderful reach. la
singles, he gets right In tbe middle of the
court, and It la almost Impossible to pass
and It la suicide to try a loh. Ills
overhead work Is excellent, sad bis
were worth going a long way to see.
