M HORBM THE LOGAL CHAMPION: i Defeats Livingston Richey in the j Final Game of the Singles Tournament. Frum Saturday's Iaily. I'iiul Morgan is wearing the laurels uf tlii- local tennis cham pionship, which he earn! d yester day afternoon at the Patterson (curl when in the final contest in the singles lie defeated Livingston it u hey t hroe set s to one. The result was an upset in the dope. No one gave Morgan a chance, not even himself Itiehev ims piuyeu an oi tne local play ers and has healen tlieni when he Wanted to, ami usually with ease, lie was the University of Ne braska champion and won the interstate contest with Kansas. In ether words, he was a "shark" t hat outclassed I he oilier 'near sharks" here, hut the latter have been practicing hard and improv ing in the game, while Richey has probably tone back from lack of practice. Morgan played rattling good tennis yesterday, while, Richey did riot play up to standard, hence bis loss of three straight sets af ter be bad taken the first, 6-0. The .score of the second was ftr-3, the third C-0, the fourth -L j The first, set showed both men badly rattled, Richey being a lit tle bit less that way than his op ponent. Morgan was "rotten," to use (he favorite expression of the fans, and he did not make it in 1 "resting even. It looked at this stage of the contest that the fans voiild not gel their money's worth, though I ho admission was free. Paul came back in the second set with what on the race track would be called a "rank reversal of form," and played some great lennis. He soon had enough games won lo frighten bis oppon ent, who was very anxious to take (he contest in straight sets. The harder Richey tried the worse he got. He lost the set, and injhe third set he probably played' the poorest tennis be ever showed in an important match. He did not get a game in this set. He tried bard lo "come back'' in the two remaining sets and showed bril liant displays of old-lime form, but his good work was mixed with a lot of the "rotten" variety. It was true that Morgan was playing n mighlv pretty game against, him, but still Richey missed many shots which, as a rule, he could handle with his eyes shut. The latter part of I he last set bee ame real exciting from the facl lhat many limes Morgan was within one point, of winning the set and contest. Paul showed nervousness every lime he had a chance to get that last point. Tn this pari of Ihe match Richey was playing good tennis, but the handicap was too great for him and it was almost inevitable that sooner or later Morgan would gel the necessary point, and he did. There has long been much rivalry between Morgan -and Richey and a victory would have lasted very sweet to either of I hem, but Morgan was charitable in victory and admitted to his friends that Richey was off form.
