Breaking her treaty with the Triple Alliance and joining the Allies in the war, Roumania was rapidly overwhelmed by Russian treachery. However, upon the abolition by the Allies' victory of the Treaty of Bucharest in which she had surrendered to Hungary certain valuable frontier districts, she came into possession of all of the Hapsburg territories which she had long desired.

...which now has two matches. Both of yesterday's matches were closely contested. In the first, J. W. Farnham '23 required three sets to dispose of R. P. Parker '22, 5-7, 6-3, 7-5.
