MANY SPIRITED MATCHES
Beekman and Tobey Reach
Final Round in Lawn Ten.
mis- Tourney at New
Rochelle Club.

Spirited and at times splashing matches
in the doubles enlivened the progress OF
the lawn tennis tournament on the courts
OF the New Rochelle Tennis Club az
Wykagyl Park, yesterday Miss Marie
Wagner, paired with Miss Fanny Fish.
made amends for her detection Of skin
on the previous day by winning in the
doubles in sensational fashion. Miss
Wagner and Miss Fish faced Mrs. Fred.
erick Schmitz and Mrs. Charles F, Porter
in the final round, defeating them by a
score OF s., Is.
In this contest the swift service and
clever volleying Of Miss Wagner con-
trbuted largely 10 her success. In her
territory Miss Fish upheld the general ex-
collence of the team by sending drives
sizzling down the alley on the opposite
side OF the net.
Mrs. Schmitz and Mrs. Porter managed
TO check the spirited work OF their oppo-
nents in the second set. Under the gen.
eralship Of Mrs. SchnJtz they lobbed con-
siderably, mixing in tn. losses between
fast drives. Miss Wagner and Miss Fish
were going too we'll and too steadily,
however, and captured the contest after
games all.
Leonard Beekman, the Paving School
captain. paired with Allan Tobey the for
mer Princeton star, won a place in the
final round Of the mems doubles. The two
played under the most discouraging cir
cumstances. as most of the time that they
held the court against Alfred II. Hammett
ard j. H. Steinkamp the rain poured down
in a way that did not contribute anything
to the brilliancy OF the contest. The vet
and sodden ball required lot Of hitting,
and IL was only after three long sets
scored at 6-4, IS, 6-3 that Beekman
and Tobey came through.
The conditions were almost as bad when
Mr.. and Mrs. A. Dudley Britton defeated
Miss Alice Leech and F. B. Guest at
e., SO. to gain a place in the semi
final round Of the mixed douL.es. The
splendidly timed rallies Of the winning
pair and their steadiness contributed
largely 10 their success.
In the deciding Of the women's singles
Miss Clare Cassell had little TO do, and
easily defeated Miss Helen Bernhard al
81, 81.
II is probable that only the mems singles
title for the holding Of the Quaker Ridge
cup will be decided to-day. Maurice / L.
Galvao. winner OF 1911, meeting Ralph c.
Bags, the New Jersey coast champion.
The delays caused by the rain will put
the other contests over until tomorrow
