It Was Impossible for McCawley to Out- reach Him, Special Dispatch to Tae EveNtea STAR, Bartiwone, June 6.—As predicted, the championship pitcher of the south remains in Baltimore, the property of A. H. 8. Post. The great game between McCawley and Post was called about 4 o'clock yesterday, at which time there were at least 1,000 people on the grounds to witness the contest. A new court was laid ont where the audience could get a view of the games and the silver pitcher was in a conspicuous place. Yost won the toss and put McCawley in direct contact with the sun's rays. The game began amid breathless excitement. Post showed signs of nervousness and MeCawley was by no means in his best form. The latter took the two first games and the sixth, Post winning the first set by 6-3. In this set McCawley tried every method of play known. At first he began to place the balls at the back line of his opponent's court. Post returned them with terrific force. and finally came up to the net. McCawley tried to pass un on the side lines, but to no purpose. Post has avery long reach and it was simply im- possible to place the balls beyond him. In the second set Post had matters all his own way, which he wou by 6-1, and the third was a love set for the Baltimore champion. McCawley did not play bis best game yester- but he was clearly outclassed. Post is the f New York, and Fe has made wonderful advancement Jast two years and his play this scason is far ahead of any one in Washington, He bas pluck and endurance and his strategical facul- ties enable him to outplay our local men, Woodward defeated Browne and Metealf for the second prize im the singles, and the finals for second double prize lies between Woodward and MeCawley and Borden and Wooten. This match will be played off on the Bachelors’ grounds some day next week. Baltimore and Washington | have evenly divided the prizes. The former } took the championship, the first prize in doubles and the consolation (Steele defeating Davidson after a hard struggle, 7-5, 7-5). while Washington wins the first and second singles (MeCawley and Woodward respectively) and tht second prize in doubles, whieh will probably go to the same playe: ‘This tourna- ment has been the most successfal ever held by the Southern Association, and it is gratify- ing to note that Washington stands weil up to the front in its tennis talent. Another year Wilmington will compete, which may make a difference in the distribution of the prizes. pee an RESHET.
