Tennis Tournament.

Under the most favorabls conditions play began
yesterday in the New York State championship

list was nearly double that Of last year so that
referee. Rufus H. Davis was compelled To nut into
practice the English custom of defaultng all play
ers who failed % appear for matches at the hours
stated Tor competition. AS it was. the courts
niled during the entire afternoon.
Frederick G.. Anderson found the conditions TO
MS hiking He hit the ball hard and true and made
MS passes with such speed through the opposing
court Whlcn was held by e. X Gillette, that the
latter was on the defensive all the way through
uhul Anderson had won at 6-1, 6-1 Another Of
the interesting matches was that in which Dimon
T. Roberts defeated Albert c. Rostwick. The de
ieated player made pluclIy effort, and his strokes
came on splendidly on the hard courts. His work
abroad had helped out his game considerably but
hooeitS proved skilful at varying his pace and in
tne style Of his game. that he won at 6-2 g..
Inc victories OF n. W. Niles the young Bos-
'oIlah ana H. L. WoStfall brought the good points
or their games TO the fore. Niles made use of a
new service, which created points for his score and
some amusement among the spectators He twists
ana turns as he delivers it, like Turkish dancer
but the ball takes plenty of cut and twist so
that with false bound il finds the receiving player
sJanalhs IN the wrong place and scores the ace.
tEiitS was very severe in his play and defeated
H. d. Montgomery, 6-3. rs
