Every rally was long drawn out and bitterly contested, but the French girl had a slight superiority that brought her a well deserved victory. A. H. Gobert and W. Laurentz retained their doubles title after one of the most terrific struggles of their careers in the semi-final round against Arnold Jones and me.
I think about this time I very much improved my game by constantly playing singles against the best men in the club, and also doubles with three men. This was undoubtedly excellent practice for me. In 1898 I won my first prizes in open tournaments, the handicap singles at Chiswick Park and Queen's Club. At Chiswick I received 15.4, and met Miss C. Cooper in the semi-final.
I was very glad to hear it." "Did you win, Mr. Garnet?" "Yes. Pretty easily. My opponent had bad luck all through. Bunkers seemed to have a magnetic attraction for him." "So you and father are both in the semi-final? I hope you will play very badly." "Thank you," I said. "Yes, it does sound rude, doesn't it? But father has set his heart on winning this year.
Thus it often happened that a weak house, by fluking a victory over a strong rival, found itself, much to its surprise, in the semi-final, or sometimes even in the final. This was rarer at football than at cricket, for at football the better team generally wins. The favourites this year were Donaldson's, though some fancied Seymour's.
The professor had just routed his opponent, and so won through to the semi-final. He was warm, but jubilant. I congratulated him, and left the place. Phyllis was waiting outside.

They paused at a neighbouring court to watch for a moment a white-clad quartette of boys who were battling for the doubles championship. "Semi-final round," explained Amy. "The winners meet Scannel and Boynton tomorrow. It'll be a good match. What's the score, Hal?" "Brooks and Chase have won one set and they're three love on this, Amy," replied the boy addressed. "Thought so," said Amy.
Leicester's were in the middle of their semi-final, and looked like winning it. 'I was just wondering what to do about it, said Gethryn. 'What would you do? Play, do you think? 'Play! My dear man, what else did you propose to do? You weren't thinking of refusing? 'I was. 'But, man! That's rank treason. If you're put down to play for the School you must play. There's no question about it.
He had come principally to make arrangements for the match between his house and Seymour's in the semi-final round of the competition. "You're looking bad," he said, taking a seat. "I'm feeling bad," said Drummond. For the past few days he had been very much out of sorts. He put it down to a chill caught after the Ripton match.
I think the forthcoming battle here will be the semi-final: the final will be fought in the East about Christmas or the New Year. Constantinople still remains the key to victory, if victory is to be won by fighting." My diary of July 13 concludes with the statement: "Captain Briggs's A Company the remains of it are coming to these billets to join with us.
Though coming so early in the competition, it was really the semi-final, for whichever team won would be almost certain to get into the final. The school had turned up in large numbers to watch. "Seymour's looking tired of life," said Clowes. "That would seem as if his fellows weren't doing well."
