The scores were 15-0, 40-11, 0-15, 15-10, 10-18, 0-15, JG-7. A large crowd was present to see the finalr, and there was tremendous ap plause at times, particular on the nork of AVear, who the critics found had improved wonderfully over the gami ne bad played earlier. Wear, partner with George II. Brooke, had won the title in 101 0. P.ut here and there, in his play up to todn during the week, the cxpeits discovered patches of rather ragged plujing. There fore the heights to which he rose todu were all the more pleasing to the spec tutors.

This is the first year that Wear and Gould bae paired together, and while llio New Yorkers had the advantuge ot having played long as u team, and while Gould, who is the open court tennis champion of this country,, was a comparatively newcomer at racquets the Racquet Club pair was cipectcd to give the Gotham experts a very hard match ccn though they were not the ,fuoritcs befoie the play started.
