CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT Opens
With MEDIOCRE Tennis MATCHES !.
Preliminary Round Fails to Test True Mee of Any of the I'll
tie Possibilities - Lowrey and Castle Look Like the
Glass Of the Singles = Play at Three Clubs Yesterday

/ the latter has the better chance, under
the new rule which compels the cham
pion to play through the tournament,
instead OF merely defending his title in
challenge round. However, expert
ence counts in tennis more perhaps
than In any other branch of sport, and
Castle has not only the experience, but
also the local knowledge to fall back
on. He is familiar with the Beretania
courts, for one thing, while Lowrey ex-
perienced considerable difficulty in
solving the problem of lights and shad-
ows This may tell in a close match.
The most impressive features of Low
rey's game are his service and his back
hand lobs. He delivers a hard, fast
breaking twist. which jumps forward
and to one side in way that COM
pleteIy puzzles the receiver. 1t is a
service that is especially effective on
hard court. the shoot being such that
the striker out is forced to stand right
up to the backstop to handle it with
any success.
LittIejohn Below Form.
Charley Littlejohn played good
enough tennis to beat Lothrop With
ington, the football crack, but at that
he played Is below his ordinary game,
being overcautious at first, and later
showing considerable weakness over
head. Littlejohn was as good as ever
on half yolleys. however, and passed
his opponent repeatedly with sensa-
tional shots off the ground.
The surprise of the first days play
was the form shown by G. Henoch, a
newcomer to local tennis ranks, against
the veteran John Waterhouse. The
young German showed that he knew
the game thoroughly, and that he was
merely sadly out of practise. He play
ed with an ease and precision that gave
him the first set 60, and then dropped
the second 81 after having it well in
hand at one time. In the third set he
tired perceptibly and Waterhouse won
IL and the match GO. Henoch will be
heard from IL he brushes up his game.
Following were yesterdays results:

people generally know it, and that is all
there is about it. The people were too
sensible before the election TO let the
cry of possible business depression de-
ter them from voting for him. and
they are too sensible now to believe
that there will be any let-up in pros

servative. as Tafts are, and Wilson s
record in New Jersey shows what he
can do, so that il Wilson continues
along his past lines, and does for the
nation what he did for the state of
New Jersey as I believe he will. there
is no reason why he should not make
a splendid President.
The business people of the country
were prepared for this change. Long ago
they knew what was coming. That is
