NINETY-SIX BOYS
PLAY ON COURTS
Of This Number Twenty
seven Survive the Many
Gruelling Matches.
By FRED HAWTHORNE.

A notable field of ninety-six would
be McLoughlins started play yesterday
in the first round of the first junior
metropolitan lawn tennis championship
on the clay courts Of ths West Side
Tennis Club, at Forest Hills.
The boys, all Of whom are under
eighteen years of age, played so fast
and so willingly that by the time Fred
B. Alexander, the father" of the tour
nament, called a halt, sixty-seven
matches had been completed. This Is
believed to be record in the way OF
wedding out lawn tennis tournament
field. At any rate, Alexander says 1t
is, and he ought to know as he IN
vented the junior tournament.
When the boys, all out Of breath, and
smiling or serious, according TO inc
way the fortunes of war had treated
them, left the courts, there were only
twenty-seven left out OF the galiaht
w Bottsford. a New York boy, who
learned his game in England, and was
the runner-up for the all-England
Junior championship last spring, was
cnp of the first to succumb. F.. BENIN,
who picked up his game all by himself,
earned the distinction Of upSettIng
Bottsford BY a score of 81, %.
In Justice to Bottsford, it must be
said that he is accustomed to playing
on turf, and the fast clay courts seemed
70 bother him, but BENIN, freckled-
faced blond youth, played the match
from beginning to end at a tunouS
race and we'll earned his victory :,
