After Playing Off Two Ties, Carter and Orr Win South Atlantic Tennis Doubles Waring Brothers, of Columbia, Lost This Morning on Country Club Courts to Atlanta Team by Score of 7-5. More In terest Exhibited Than Ever in the History of Tournament. The deciding match for the doubles championship lp the Houth Atlantic Tennis Tournament was won this morning on the courts of the Country Club by Messrs. C. V. Carter and .1. K. Orr, Jr., of Atlanta, downing their op ponents, the Waring brothers, of Col umbia, S. C„ by the score of 7-5. The match was teatured by the exception ally fine 'playing of both teams and was witnessed by a large and enthus iastic gallery. Much Interest Shown. There is very likely more. Interest in tills match than has been shown in any tennis playing for a cup in many years. The championship play be tween Carter and Orr and the Warings was begun here more than a "week ago. Four sets were Played each team win ning two. The following day happen ed to be Sunday and for this reason one of the Waring brothers objected to playing. The teams returned to their homes and the matter, through tlic local committee, was presented to the National Lawn Tennis Association, with the result that It was advised not to default the Warings for ob jecting to play on Sunday. At the re quest of the committee the two teams agreed to play off the tie at Augusta yesterday. It was to be the best two out of three. Three sets were played yesterday, but the third was a tie. Again a tie had to be played off and it was played this morning. Yesterday’s Play. In the playing yesterday the Warings won one set, Carter and Orr won one and the third was tied. The scores were: First set, Carter and O r over Waring brothers, 6-4; second set. Waring broth ers over Carter and Orr, 7-6; third set, 12-12. KRHII WITH THE RECORDER When tho disturbance occurred at the ball park .yesterday afternoon af ter the game, and the leading charac ters, including the Umpire, were brought in to the Barracks, every body said; “Look out for Recorder s Court tomorrow morning." And the prophesy was well ful filled. There were more people in that small court room this mo’ntng, all at one time, than ever have been in it before altogether. Everybody who was at the Ball game yesterday came, and brought a triend. Some brought their families, sofa cushions and lunch baskets. Twenty-six men and a child were on the tin roof outside the two West windows behind the Judge's seat. Several of these were almost asphyx iated by tlie noxious and poisonous fumes that floated put rrom the room through ilie windows. Inside the room the atmosphere was like clab ber.. There were at a modest esti mate 200 people in the room, the win dows were entirely blocked with peo ple sitting or standing in them, and all hope of fresh air was thus kept out. After about fifteen minutes the oxygen in the room began to give out and people began to look pale. _ Soon the solid inaßs of faces, which looked like the multitude at the Last Judg ment, began to look green, and purple about the Ills. The air inside was a deadly, fetid gas. How people stood it as long as they did is a mystery. At length the Judge arose and order ed the windows and exits to be clear ed and those who "couldn't find seats to leave. It was the Black Hole of Calcutta, except that the room was smaller and there were more people. By this time you all no doubt know the story of the Motibing and there is no use going into that in detail. It appears elsewhere in the paper. This shall he some attempt to give the re port of the trial. First Lieut Britt testified. lie stated that be was at the game with his daughter. He was In plain clothes, and was ouly on his way out with the young lady when he noticed the crowd forming behind him. He went back and saw they were making at Umpire Vltter: "(let him!" "UmMe get at hint!" "Mob him!" “Kill him!” “Shoot him! ’—And other ejaculationc, were heard on all sides—some of them more refined and some less. Lieut. Britt rushed Into the midst of the crowd to break It up and caught hold of the first man who came to hand. It happened to he Mr. W. J. Rarksdale, whom he began to push out through the gate. (It was the exit be hind the Tress stand.) “Don't shove me, Britt. I’m going.” said, Mr. Barksdale, but the Lieut, cbntlnued to hustle the crowd out. and Mr. Barksdale's shirt was torn in the scuffle. Whereupon he grappled with Lieut Britt and forced him back against the Press stand. At that time Mr. Pope came up and told the I-leut that his daughter was hurt on the out side. The Lieut, hurried out to find that Miss Britt had been struck with a brick-bat while *he was standing up In an open street car looking In the crowd for him. The young lady Is suf fering from a severe shock in conse quence. It is of course perfectly cer tain that she was hit accidentally, but it shows the disposition of the crowd when brick-bats were taking flights through the air. Mr. A. F. Lang alleges that Lieut Rritt hit him in the face during the fray, but the latter says that he thinks 11 must have been someone else, though It Is possible he might have done It In the heat of the fracas by accident.* Mr. laing's friends held him from attacking the Lieut, at the time. This was as much part ns Lieut Britt had In the row Mennwhlle. Umpire Vltter, coming out of the park with Mr. Jake Buck ley, was explaining to him the decision he made when he called Mackert out on a fly caught lu deep right field, itnd allowed Shaw to go to 2nd on the same hall, without coming hack to touch first. Obviously, If one was out, they both were. (There was some doubt about the catch, a* the fielder fell in catching the ball.) > Mr. Buckley said that the Umpire explained by saying he could not watch everything. At this Mr. Buckley ex claimed. "But that's what you are paid for. to watch everything” About that time the Jeering and hos tile crowd began lo close In on Vltter and Officer Burgamy, also in plain The real high class tennis playing, such as is seldom witnessed except in the very best of the professional matches, was exhibited In the second and third seta played yesterday afternoon. Certainly no such game had ever before -been played on any courts around Au gusta. The playing was made all the more interesting from the fact that the two teams, both out of town teams, were so evenly matched. In the first set every game was a deuce game: in the second set both teams played harder than in the first. As the Atlanta pair had won the first set they were anxious to cap ture the second set and thus practical ly end it, while on the other hand the Warings were equally anxious to pre vent their opponents from winning. When, after twelve sets had been played, the match went to the Colum bians, It meant a third match to decide the championship. The players had battled for twenty-two games al ready but seemed ready and more thin anxious to get into the match that would decide the winner of the cup which was being so fiercely contested for. In this match the finest tennis that has ever been seen in this part of the country was the brand offered by the two teams fighting for the doubles championship of the South Atlantic tour nament. It would seem under ordinary conditions that finally one or the other of the two teams would get a lead of two games and win the match, but never could either team get more than one game over the other. At one point in the contest the match stood 5-4 in favov of the Warings, and the Warings even had their opponents <f> love, or within one point of winning the set that would have given them the cup. In this same set Carter and Orr had the score 10-9 In tn«lr favor, but the matcli went 12-17, ai d it wus then decided to play It off this morning. clothes, quickly fastened his badge on his coat and rushed In to protect Vitter. He called out to him that he was a policeman, but Vttter, In the ex citement of the moment, mistook him for the leader of the mob, and struck him in the head with his umpire’s mask. Officers Barnes and Sullivan then nabbel him and, as quickly as they could, hustled him into the club house away from the angry populace. When Mr. Buckley's statement reached this stage, Mr. Foster, who whs appearing informally for the po licemen who were implicated in the unfortunate fiasco, asked Mr. Buck ley: “You are an expert at Base Ball, aren’t you?” “Well,” said that gentleman, “I’m only in tho small league now, —but I’m going up!”, Shouts of laughter greeted this sally, as is usual with Mr. Buckley's sal lies. • The Judge exonerated Umpire Vitter entirely, of course, from the charge of disorderly conduct. He was the oc casion rather than the cause of the trouble. And it was reasonably es tablished that when he struck Officer Burgamon he did not know him for an officer and was acting in self defense as he thought. The other cases were dismissed on th': grounds that the gentlemen con cerned were ull citizens of high stand ing and that the lamentable demon stration was the result of a series of mistakes which are not likely to occur again. Of the defendants, Vitter was the only one who made a statement. The other defendants and some of the wit nesses expressed regret afterwards at not being allowed to make their state ments, as It was felt tbey could have exonerated themselves of their part in' the episode. Feeling was running high at one time. It was something, as the Judge said, of a Tempest In a Teapot. It is hoped that everything will calm down to peace again, however, before many days. It is too hot to stay mad. Think Americans Have Good Chance at Henley Henley-on-Thames, Eng. British river experts, after seeing the work of the Harvard University second eight and the Union Boat Club of Boston crew, expressed fears today as to whether they would be able to prevent the grand challenge cup from crossing the Atlantic this year. They had an opportunity this morning to compare the rowing of the American eights with that of the English crews and the remarkable speed developed by the trans-Atlantic oarsmen more than confirmed the high opinion already formed of the visitors.

M£ Creary’s “Home of Good Clothes’* About Time Everyone Should Stop Making Achilles Standard by Which All American Athletes Are to be Judged New York.—lt seems about time that some one shoved this Archilles fellow off his pedestal and that everybody ceased making him the standard by which all American athletes are to be Judged. After looking over his record, we have concluded that he wasn't such a much after all. There’s nothing in the Qrecian baseball guides to show that he ever batted over .400, or that he ever pushed out a home run with the bases loaded in a world series combat. He never made a 90 yard touchdown run around Yale of Yarvard's end with the score even and just two minutes left to play. Nor did he ever uncork a 25 foot putt in an open golfing cham pionship, or club out a polo goal from midfield, bringing victory to the home team in the last half minute of the eighth chukker. Of course, Achilles has some justi fiable claims to fame. He was one of the very few Greeks In all history who never operated either a fruit store, a candy shop or a bootblacking parlor, nor did he ever act as engineer for a peanut roasting machine. He never was accused of selling "Imported hand-made shawls” to the unsuspect ing housewife at twenty-seven times the actual cost of their manufacture in some New York sweatshop. Taking it from a number of ency clopedias and also from Mister Ho mer’s Illi&d, this Achilles bloke was considerable of a scrapper back in the old days. He had a terrific punch, a practically invulnerable defense, was fearless and merciless in battle and held the heavyweight championship for a much longer time than did even John L. Sullivan. But we can’t see why these few stunts that he did —and didn't de — should give him first rank in the field j of athletics. We can’t see why it was j that every time “Chuch" Brickley, of dear old Harvard, tore the opposition line to shreds most persons instead of remarking that “Brickley rammed and Jammed as no other man did be fore." reall said, “Brickley fought al most with the fury of an Achilles." When Devereau Millburn single handed, outplayed three of the four English pololsts In the last half of the last international combat, did he get credit for being the original feller In the polo business. Nay, nay. Some body trotted out Achilles and made Milburn second to him. Every so often Honus Wagner, the Pittsburg team forgets that a human being should show some sort of mercy, whereupon Honus busies himself in giving his nine opponents a terrific beating. He uses his mace with dead ly effect on the offense and his huge paws with just as much effect on the defense. But historians don't rise up cn such occasions and credit Honus with being the greatest bloke that ever cavorted on the green. They declare that “Wagner raged around the field, fighting almost like the Achilles of old.” Every darned time some of our fel lows do something amazing undre ; markable, they aren't given credit for having set the standard in their par ticular line, simply because a lot of people Insist upon digging up this Achilles party who has been dead for quite a while, and trotting him out as the superior of them all. Achilles came to his death by being shot In the heel. Think of It! The very same person that so many people think was huskier than Wasner, Milburn, Brickley and all our other Americans, turned up his toes and provided a Job for the embalmer Just as socn as an arrow, or a spear, or whatever It was, connected with his heel.
