With ideal tennis weather prevailing.
and with an unusually large number OF
enthusiastic followers of the net game
in attendance, the fourth annual invita-
ton tennis tournament of the Chevy
Chase Club received a most auspicious
start yesterday afternoon.
Exceptional progress was made, twen-
ty-f1ve matches being decided. the large
preliminary round being completed, the
first round being nearly so and the second
round having been broken into. The large
number OF defaults registered is the re-
suit OF the enforcement of new ruling
Of the tennis committee to the effect that
entrants must be on hand at the sched-
uled time or forfeit their match. This
action is only fair to the out-of-town men,
as it keeps the tournament from being
such a long-drawn-out affair and 1t does
not compel them to stay in town for sew
eral additional days because of few
delinquents.
Much interest in yesterdays play was
centered on the work OF the Doyle broth

game at this stage of the season. Con-
rad B. Doyle is showing up even better

matches of yesterday he had no trouble
at all, defeating N. w. Mclean. GO and
6-1. in the preliminary round, and receiv-
ing his match by the forfeit route in thefirst
round. Mclean, who is one of the young
er players in the city, plays an excep-
tional game. having been near the finals
in almost all of the local tournaments of
the past year. and his easy defeat at
Doyles hands shows the class of tennis

Baggette. on the receiving end for the

and yesterday added another to their
string of victories for the past two weeks
by defeating the strong Tenleytown team
by the score Of Q to 3 before one Of the
largest and most enthusiastic crowds of
the season.
It was due mostly to the gilt-edge pitch
ing of CollifOwer. who was on the mound
for the Corcorans. that the game was
won by his team. His arm was in fine
form and he allowed only four hits
throughout the whole seven-inning con-
test, struck out seven and issued free
transportation to only one man.
Staub. who was on the firing line for
the losers, also pitched good ball, but
errors at critical moments by his team

to notice that there was warm and
large spot in the lecturers heart for
the Red Men of Labrador. lie gave
wonderful accounts of their cooking
requirements, their feats of strength,
their courage and indomitable perseyer-
ance.
1t would seem as if this course would
be a financial success. About 60 were
in attendance last Friday night with
an easy sale of season tickets, two
young men selling 25 three hours before
the lecture began. If the community
will come to the support of Leland y
Gray at this time il is possible to as
sure a course next year with Booker I.
Washington as one of the speakers.
Those who do not enjoy lectures, or are
prevented from leaving home at night,
can help the cause by buying a season
ticket. Principal Jocelvn will find
some pupil in the school whose low
finances prevent his attendance. The
next lecture will be given on Friday
evening, Jan. 81, by Prof. Walter E.
