Maurice !. L. Galvao and Allan H. Behr
won their places in the seri-tinal round
Of the Quaker Ridge championship
singles yesterday on the courts of the
New Rochelle Tennis Club at Wykagyl
Park. New Rochelle. The ideal condi-
tons made il possible for the committee
70 run through the singles so rapidly that
only seven competitors remained OF the
original field OF ninety-eight that began
in the competitions last Saturday. Three
of this number-Allan TObey. the former
/ Princeton star: Alfred y. Hammett the
| former New York University captain
and Charles G. Chambers-arrived In the
round before the semi-fnal, while Ralph
I. Bags the recent winner Of the New
/ Jersey Coast title. and Carl Jollif won
place in the fourth round.
The cleverness with which Galvdo, the
German. who won the title two seasons
ago and who is again seeking 10 score
on the cup. accommodated his style TO
| that Of his opponents contributed one OF
the interesting features OF the day He
| had two adversaries in Abraham Bass

| Louis Graves. of the Havorth Cluo. who

I % Bassford the steadiness of Galrao and
! his brilliant smashing scored the match
! in straight sets at SIS. 81 The final
l tally was - games 70 and 81 points 70 -.
Ii was in coming through 10 the semi
final bracket that Galvao displayed his
best pace and man1uvring Louis Graves
again made his assault 81 the net and
volleyed and smashed so bravely that the
match went the full limit Of three sets
before Gavao carried IL at 81. IS, l2-lO
The contest was such a desperate battle
that in the recapitulation OF games and
points the two are tied at twenty games
apiece. while Graves has more points
than the winner. leading in this respect
with a total OF 1876 TO 1855.
While the PLAYERS were working their
way through the other rounds the play
ing OF Goddard ". Saunders. a schoolboy
thirteen years old, attracted considerable
attention. The young disciple OF Nc
Loughlin made striking contrast with
his boyish figure and knickerbockers 10
T A du Flon, who lowered above him.
The youngster went at IL hammer and
tongs. forcing the battle through three
lively deuce sets at - 81. rs before
ne yielded up his place AS a court COW
erer the boy gave a splendid exhibition.
The match continued for nearly three
hours. and al the finish the youngster
was playing strongly.
Tobey, in his match in the fourth round
Of the singles. and in the doubles. paired
with Leonard Beekman. the Pawling
School captain. displayed a flashing and
able game. He met +. A WOLF and de-
feated him at 81, %. The former Prince
ton star played most OF his shots as he
came running in 10 the net Wall, in the
second set, learned 10 give the ball a cut
that sent il dropping downward, with the
result that Tobey piled up lot Of nets
against his score, as he failed 70 get the
ball over the barrier. He was steady at
the crisis. pulling out the second set after
one deuce on games. Hammett who was
coupled with Tobey for the semi-hnal
bracket. was a trife OF his usually eX-
cepent driving game. He played three
sets against DR.. b. T. Drake, winning at
e.. 2-6. 81
The match in which Galvao defeated
Graves provided the feature OF the pro-
gramme for the afternoon and was
staged upon the main court before the
club pergola. which serves as grand
stand. The New Jersey player. because
Of his victories over Walter Roberts and
A. j. Ostendorf. was expected to eliminate
the German. Graves led off with the ser
vice and the games followed the toeinG
