...Sage, who spent all his life making money, and, when he became old and realized the end was near, was at a loss to know what disposition to make of his wealth.

Hill '22 had a close round with M. Grabau '23, though the former's superiority was clearer evidenced. Grabau pushed the first set, allowing Hill to win only by 7-5; in the second set, he bowed to Hill's sweeping game and succumbed to the score of 6-3. The other matches will be played today and tomorrow. The finals of the Union singles will...
