ward racquet wielder, were the only
two who braved the elements yester-

try Club. at Glen Cove, Long Island,
opened on the turf courts of the club.
Church was easily the master of Tai
liant. defeating him with the loss OF
only two games, at 60. GO. The
Princeton man, working almost entirely
from the net position, inundated his
opronent under a maze Of cross court
Shots and hard smashes that scooted as
soon as they struck the turf.
Under such conditions, Tallant was
forced TO remain anchored at his base
line, and il was only when he sue
ccedcd in bringing off his swift drives
from deep court that he succeeded III
evading Church's ready racquet. 1t was
in this manner that the old Harvard
champion won two games IN the las
set.
Nearly all Of the score OF ranking
players drawn in the singles were
gathered on the clubhouse ycranda,
waiting for "A rift in the clouds, but
none came, and it was decided to wait
until to-day before beginning the other
matches.

ever lawn tennis is played will contest
in the singles and doubles for the
Nassau cups They include Larned.

President of Board Would
Probably Have Wilson's
Approval.
NEED FELT TO NAME
"A HIGH CLASS MAN.
Tammany Likely to Look on
Him as Representing Party's
Best Chance.

There is strong probability tina;
George McAneny, President of the
Board of Aldermen, will be the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor this fall
The name Of Mr. McAneny, it was
learned yesterday, was brought up at
a number of informal conferences OF
influential Democrats, both here and
in Washington, and decided senti-
ment in favor of his nomination has
resulted.
While President Wilson and those
surrounding him insist that the admin
!stration will not interfere in the COM
ing election, il is understood that
neither the President nor his close
friends would be displeased with Mr.
McAneny's selection as head Of the
Democratic ticket in this state next
fell
In fact. many of the Presidents
warmest friends in this state assert
that the Pres dent of the Board OF
Aldermen represents more closely than
any other Democrat mentioned for the
nomination the ideals of the President,
and some g. so far as to say that
should Mr.. McAneny he nominated the
President might be induced to come
here and make a speech in his be-
half
The suggestion that Tammany Hall
would not look with favor on Mr.. Nc
Aneny's nomination for Governor was
not given much weight, because, it was
nointcd out, Murphy and his friends
realize that any candidate with their
tag on him will not stand much chanc>
of winning. AS a result, it was as
serted Murphy and his associates
would be content to accept Mr.. Nc
Ancny for two reasons first, because
he represents the slight chance they
believe Democrat has of winning;
and, second. if he is defeated, they
can blame it on the President.
Mr.. McAneny has always been
known as an Independent Democrat
and has never been particularly friend
ly to Tammany. He was elected to the
Office he now holds and to that Of
Borough President as an anti-Tam-
many man on fusion tickets, but has
always kept his affiliations with tic
Democratic party.
