In Mercer’s Annual Tennie Tourney and Now Holds Championship — Final Gama Played Yesterday Afternoon. After a number of postponements on account of rain and pold the final game of Mercer’a tennis tournament was played yesterday between the Sigma Alpha Epsilon and the Fhl Delta Theta teams. The match was handily taken by the S. A. E.'s In two straight seta. Score: 6-4; 6-2. The result proved quite a surprise. Those who had bqen supporting the S. A. E.’s from the open, lng of the tournament were surprised at the play yeaterday. No matter to what point Capers and Nichols, the two Theta players, smsahed the ball, either Ogburn or Welker were on hand to receive IL After five minutes of play had expired It was seen that the Thetas were outclassed, both at ser vice and In the returns. The Kappa Alpha court, upon which the match was played, was In good condition and the attendance was large and fully appre ciated the play. Great interest was centered In the outcome of the game aa the two teams have for yeara been rivals. Up to the opening of yesterday's match the Thetas' team had a percentage of 1000 having defeated in turn five of the other clubs entered. Tho winners also entered the match with a clean record. Now that the tournament has been completed the governing board of Mer cer's Tennis Association will begin the task of arranging for a trl-meet be tween the champlonahlp teams in doubles of Emory College. Mercer, and the University of Georgia. Overtures for such a meet have been made in previous years but little has been the result The main object of the tourna ment Just completed was to arouse In terest In the sport nmong the Mercer- lans so that a triangular contest, should one be arranged, would be firmly backed by the student body. As soon as the students return to college at the expiration of the Christ mas holidays the secretary of the gov erning board will bo instructed to cor respond with the tennis men of Georgia and Emory In order to ascertain Just how those Institutions view the pro posed meet. Mercer wishes to play in Macon and It is very probable that the teams will meet here. SUGGESTIONS NECKWEAR.
