TENNIS IN AMERICA.

NEW YORK, July 21. \t the Glencoe, Long Island, tennis tournament, Patterson and Wood (Australia) won the Illinois State doubles championship. They defeated the Kinsey brothers (San Francisco), the holders, 6—3, 3_6, 6—3, 6—B, 6— l. The latter, who are the national clay court champions, are considered to be probably the best doubles team in America. The}' were in excellent form, but were compelled to play a defensive game throughout. They were unable to decipher Patterson's cannon-ball service or Wood's brilliant volleys and calculated lobs, which won the decisive points. The Americans played well, but they were worn down by the Australians' consistency. Patterson and Wood had defeated Lott and Graven (Chicago), G—2, 3—6, 6—3, 6—o, in the semi-final. W. T. Tilden won the singles championship. He defeated Howard Kinsey, 6—l, o—6, 6—4, 6—3.—(A. and N.Z.)
