The fifth round and all but one set of the semi-finals in the interscholastic tennis tournament were played off on Jarvis Field yesterday afternoon. Sweetser, of Boston Latin School, and Davenport, of Stone's School, had each won one set in the semi-finals of the first division when play was called on account of darkness. The deciding set will be played at 9.30 o'clock this morning; and the winner will play Bothfield, of Newton High School, at 10.30 o'clock for the championship.
