SPLENDID GAME

Inc UNAN AHAA AtrA III hHE mlslOIX OF
the tournament was obtained by the
Wilmington Country Club for the an.
nual Delaware State championship
which started yesterday. The entrants
included r, Lindley Murray, the young
Leland Stanford University crack. who
made a big name for himself BY win
ming the Metropolitan championship
recently; II. L. Hahn, also Of Leland
Stanford; Wallace r. johnson, A. ID.
Thayer, J. }. Armstrong, of Yale;
Richard Harte, Jr., G. c. FELTON,, Of Har-
ward, and Sydney Trayer, Jr., and Ken
meth Kennedy, the youthful Philadel-
phia stars.
Although large number of matches
were played, there was not a thriller
among them, none of the top -notehers
meeting each other in the preliminary
or in the few matches played in the
first round. H. L. Hahn and Norman
johnson proved well matched. but after
Hahn had won the first set by seven
games to five he always held the upper
hand over his opponent in the second
set and won by six games TO three
Two other matches that aroused in
terest in the preliminary round were
those between r. Harte. Jr., and Count
Alex. Salm and Sydney Thayer. Jr.,
and Count Otto Salm. The Austrian
noblemen were beaten, but they were
pitted against two of the best Of the
younger generation of players.
Young Sydney Thayer played a re-
markab good game against Count Otto
Salm. His service was strong and his
returns well directed and severe, the
young Merton player proving his SUI
periority by winning both sets by six
games to three.
Great interest was taken in the APP
pearance Of r. Lindley Murray in the
first round. In his match with +.
dupont he did not have to extend him
self, but he demonstrated that he is a
player who possesses all the strokes in
the tennis category and a wonderfully
service. As he has been suffer
ing from a sore shoulder recently, he
wisely did not put too much exertion
into his play, but even al that he de-
feated his opponent, go, 6-2.
