...final round of the fall tennis tournament yesterday afternoon, N. W. Niles '09 defeated F. J. Sulloway 2L., 6-1, 6-3, 6-0. With the exception of the second set Niles played a very accurate game.

Sulloway served well, but was unable to cover his court, and some of his returns were very inaccurate.

Niles defeated C. C. Auchincloss in straight sets. Niles was much steadier than his opponent, at the same time playing a strong game at the net. One of the best played matches of the afternoon was that between F. J. Sulloway and F. W. Cole. Although Sulloway won in straight sets, the play was much closer than the score indicates. The cross-court drives of both...
