Added to Berger'e accomplishments la con fidence In hla ability to lick the world. 'O'Brien la In training here, and le aa busy aa a fighter ever waa. He la not taking any chances, and la far from un- dareetlmatlng hla opponent. While he looka on Berger aa a aure victim, he tralne aa though he were going to meet Jeffrlea, figuring that It la a lot better to be ready for anything In the enrpriee-package lino that may be handed out to him. lie real* laea that with Berger It la do or die, and that he will fight with deaperatlon, for the fight nwana everything to him If he can win.

In a talk today, O'Brien had the fol* lowing to nay: "You can take It from me that 1 am ready to fight my t»eat battle. I have never l»ceii accused of being foolish. Home peo ple say I never made a match that I can not win, but that Is rot. I am In the game to win, for there Is more money In winning than losing.

The doubles championship of tyo K°uth went dually to (Irant and Thornton, tho Atlnnta team, but only after five of aa hard fought aeta aa local tonnla euthualasta have ever seen. ' Hunt and I,ec, the University of Michigan team, had evidently atndled the game of tbo local players, and learned the ob- vloua fact there was little chance of l»eat* Ing them by a "slamming" game. So they atndled out a defensive game, which con sisted mostly of lohs. They made few at* tempts to take the net, hut settled Into the hack of the court and pnt every ball that came their way high In the air. Thla game of Incessant loha waa some thing of a novelty to the local team, and It nearly accomplished their downfall. The Atlantans won the first set 62, hut they dropped the ntfkt one by the satuo score, and the third one 34. With the seta 2 to 1 against them. Grant tuul Thornton went on the defensive themselves, and more careful ly played games have seldom been seen In Atlnnta. Both aides played safe as far as possible, aud almost every point was stretched over a considerable length of time. After the local tram began to get familiar with the lobbing game, they took thltigs Into their own hand*, and won the fourth set 6-3 and tho fifth 6-2. Thin gave them the match, the title and the pos- s<-sslon of the two handsome cups, for Da vidson and Glasebrook did not defend, and the challenge round went to the local team by default.
