DEFEATS THAYER

I
tournament at the Wilmington Coun-
try Club Yesterday. All the matches
in the third round Of the singles we're
we'll contested and hard fought Quite
the feature. however, was the fine
game put up by young Sidney
Thayer. Jr, OF the Merton Cricket
Club. against G. NJ Church, the Prin-
ceton star.
Church won the first set by six
games TO three. but in the second
Thayer played brilliantly and very
nearly pushed the match to three
sets More than once he was within
a point Of the game. but Church al
ways managed to pull himself out OF
the hole. Four all, five all and six
all was called and although Thayer
received every announcement from
the spectators TO win. Church man
aged to gain the verdict by eight
games to six. Thayer's display
against his formidable opponent
proves that he is improving at a
great rate and with little more ex-
perience should make the best Of
them hustle before very long.
A. r. Kennedy. Jr, and R. NJ Phil
Ter also played an interesting match,
Kennedy winning. 6-3. Sc. Those old
foes on the courts w. NJ. Tilden and
lT. H. Martin, met once again. and
once more were evenly matched but.
as in the Pennsylvania State cham
pionship, Tilden was returned the
winner The match was hard fought
and long drawn out Martin began
like a winner by winning the first
set by six games 70 three. and had
quite a number OF chances to clinch
the match by winning the second set.
Tiden however. stuck 10 his task
with grim determination and won by
eight games to six. Martin showed
a falling off in his play in the third
set. and Tilden pulled out by six
games TO three.
A. d. Thayer found a worthy oppon-
Ient in A. W. Kidder. and although he
won I'm straight sets, he only won the
first set rs and the second Ga.

cessful afternoon. since they won
