This , v.as more noticeable in the second set, for. after taking the first at love, the ! champion appeared to let down dis | tinctly. It was only when he felt the neces ? sity for winning the points that Rich? ards brought greater speed to bear, lie is capable of much better tennis than anything he has shown in this tourna? ment to date. A new boy champion will be crowned to-day, for neither Pearman nor Eins mnnn has ever won the title before, and ?7 harlcs M. Wood jr., the present champion, has graduated into the jun? ior class. Einsmann yesterday de? feated 1'. D. Hedekin in a closely fought three-set match by a .score of li?3, 3?1">, 6 ? -3, showing a fairly good com? mand of the basic shots of tennis. Pearman, in the mean time, was taking th measure of Sydney Gittler by a store of 6 4, G - :.', and showing su? periority at all stages. These two boy;-. Pearman and Einsmann, should put up a pretty high grade brand of tennis, considering their youth.

The race will he held over the T^i-mile course of the Thames Hare and Hounds Club, at Roehampton, and on past performances the English run? ners are favored to win. The teams will face the starter as follows : Cornell?T. C. McDermott, C. C. r;ir ter, 11. Y. Bonsai, \ i\ Brown, J. !.. Dickinson, R. E. Brown, M. E. Rich m ;. n. Oxford-Cambridge?\V. A. Montague, N. A. Mclnnes, W. A. Grave, R. B. Sut ton, W. T. Marsh, W. R. Seagrave, E. li Anderson. Despite the fact that the upstate runners carried off the national title, their showing in th" big race was not p.-.rticularly impressive, and Moakley lost no time in arranging for trycuts for the British tour the result of which produced Charles Carter, who. until this season, tus competed fuc eessfully in short distane'e ?'ace.--. Carter did not compete in the New Haven race because of an injury to his leg, although Moakley ha.) prepared him for tho annual classic; hut i?) the linal tryout over a seven-mile steeple? chase course a week hefore the team .sailed he led the pack home in fast time, defeating, among others. Mc Dermott, the individual star of the team. Tho other new member of the team is Milton Rich nan, a sophomore, who did not compete at New Haven, but showed remarkable ability in the final tryout at Cornell. Seagrave, the Cambridge star, ap? pears ? ?j be tho best of the British runners, although both Grave and Mc? lnnes will imdoubtedlj finish well up. Seagrave perforpied well in the 5,000 meter run . the Olympic pames, fin? ishing third in his heat and .< ixth in the final. In this race, which was won by Nurmi, of Finland, not one Ameri? can qualifii ? for the linal. With Montague, Sutton, Marsh and Anderson, .ii ; whom have performed ,:. ?Treat style on English tracks this year, the Rriti team appears to have slight edfcc ??n the Cornell aggrega? tion despite the fact that Montague, i"..
