came through yesterday. They were

who took the club championship on
Sunday; Spencer Miller, jr.. the for
mer Amherst crack. and Robert P.
Bennett. Ogden defeated Norman
johnson. veteran player of the West
Side Lawn Tennis Club Ga, 81;
Miller took his match from Grant

Bennett was lucky enough to get into
today's second round play without
taking the course, drawing two de-
faults.

ange Lawn Tennis Club, who has been
a crack player for years, defaulted in
the preliminary round to Lindsey

leave town tomorrow and, although
he was at the courts yesterday, he
announced that he might as well quit
the tourney without playing as to de-
fault later.
Probably the hardest-fought match
of the day was the one between G. A.
l.. Dionne, the veteran of the West

runner-up at the Princeton interscho-
lastic tournament this year. Dionne
won from his youthful opponent, 81.
