CHEVY CHASE TENNIS
TOURNEY UNDER WAY
Moorhead 0utpoints Harold Doyle in
Feature Match of
the Day.

Conditions could hardly have been much
worse that those under which the annual
open invitation tennis tournament Of the
Chevy Chase Club was launched yester-
day afternoon. The showers of the
morning made the courts heavy and
soggy and left a chill in the air which
not only kept the players from getting
sufficiently warmed up. but almost froze
the gallery. Because of these condi-
tons MANY of the entrants thought that
play would be out of the question and
failed to appear.
AS is usually the case. chief interest
centered in the out-of-town PLAYERS. The
Philadelphia delegation, consisting of
Wallace johnson. ]. \. Bull. A. E. Ken
nedy. f. Paul. jr., and II. J. Lawrence,
did not arrive until this morning, but
Theodore Roosevelt Pell. S. w. Merri-
hew. editor OF Lawn Tennis: Edward S.
Torrey. jr., the newly elected secretary
of the United States Lawn Tennis Asso-
citation. all OF New York; F. *. Bull of
Litchfield. Conn; a. l. Hoskins of Phil
adelphia, vice president of the National
Association. and IL. Kelleher of Seattle,
Wash. We're all on hand and most of
them played their matches.
Harold f. Doyle and j. Upshur Moor
head furnished the feature match of the
day, when the latter won in the second
round OF the mems singles, Go and 60.
Moorhead probably has never played a
better game than he put up yesterday
and his victory was a well earned one.
Of the three New York players en-
tered. Pell was the only winner Tor
rey and Merrihew losing to Arthur
HELEN and Louis |. Doyle, respectively
Pell had an easy time of it in his
match with Col. f. B. Babbitt in the
first round, winning in straight sets,
6-l and 6--1
But one match was decided in the
WomenS singles. Miss Marie Winner.
a former titleholder. defeating Miss f,
Porter in the first round, 6-I and e.
Miss Winner showed in this match that
she is now going al top speed and that
she stands an excellent chance of win
ming the event. Her strokes have
plenty of sting to them her service is
unusually strong for woman and she
is displaying rare form overhead.
