lieuimu nt' 1913 Cllrunia Svraann YVING to the tennis courts having been used as a skating rink during the winter they were somewhat slow in 4 drying out, but they were put into goodncondition as early aspossible and pl1'11CUCC Started in May. Two mem- bers of the 1917 team were baCl4, llml Wlth' a munber of matches scheduled .it looked as if the season would be ani,interesting and successful one. 'l he. team fulhlled these expectations to a considerable extent by winning three out of the six matches played, altheugh it failed in the match with Milton, which was, perhapS, the most important one. 'lhe first match of the season was a somewhat informal one with the Naval Reserve in which St. George's was easily victorious by the score of 5 to O. I . M On May 25th, the team went to blilton and was defeated by live points to none. lhe play was fast and close in all the matches and the Milton players did pot win withou: a hard struggle although the score indicates otherwise. On May goth, the team was victorious in Ia contest with Noble and Greenough. All the matches were well played and closely contesietl especially the two in which Duane and Nobles overcame their respective opponents. St. George's won four matches out of the live played. A On the morning of'june ISt the teamimet with its second defeat, this time at the hands of Moses Brown. 'l'he feature of the matchwas the splendid playing of R. jones, the eldest of the three brothers on the visiting team. Duane and Almirall won St. Georges only point by their excellent playing in the doubles. Moses Brown won the other four matches. The next match, one with Boston linglish High, was a clean sweep for St. Georges None of the matches were at all closely contested. The season closed on June 12th with a match against Brookline High School. All the matches were close and the outcome was in doubt until the last moment. The visitors finally won by three matches to two. This year no matches will be played until the first of june when the baseball season ends, but the courts will lte put into good condition as soon as possible and it is hoped that the team will be able to get a good deal of prac- tice before the lirst match. The whole of last year's team is back with one exception, and if the weather is good the season of IQIQ should be a highly successful one. H 1.1. P. -4
