Championship.

Arthur NJ. Lovibond, the form or regi-
mental champion, won his way into the
round before the semi-fnals Of the
New Jersey State tennis championship
tournament yesterday on the courts OF
the Montclair Athletic Club. He met
Charles NJ. Bull, jr., the star of the
Crescent Athletic Club forces, just
after the latter had had a nice little
warming up against one Of the best Of
the juniors, Hugh Fleming. Bull made
this match a straight run of twelve
games. winning at Go. Go.
Bull has the reputation of being a
slow starter. The twelve games had
put him on edge for Lovibond. with the
result that the Crescent player caught
his rival with the wrong foot forward,
passing him with singing shots as he
tried for the net. Bull led at Al on
games when Lovibond got his volleys
into operation. Then Lovibond reeled
off five games in row for the hrst set
Slashing exchanges. with each hight
ing for the best position az the net, en-
livened the second set. Bull executed
sensational gets. He choked of some
of Lovibond's best slants across court.
leading at AZ and 81 on games.
Lovibond was steady. hit hard and made
a sizzling finish with run OF three
games for the match.
Neil Stevens, the playing through
champion, experienced little diticuity
in beating Donaldson Moorehead, 6-3.
Ga. Stevens spread-eagled midcourt
and got all of the returns back across
the net. Walter Merrill Hall easily
beat Hammett Norton, GO, 81, IN
deep court rallies.
Harold Throckmorton, metropolitan
Junior champion. had a spirited three
set battle on his hands before he de
feated Stanley II. Manchee at g.
IS. 81. The boy made many nets
and outs as he tried to volley against
Manchee's steady driving. Throckmor-
toms service was not at its best. and IT
was only by a stern effort at control
that he pulled out the match. -,
From the point Of spectacular brill
fancy. the victory Of Charles l.. John
ston. jr.. over King Smith, at 9.I'
6-3. offered plenty of thrills. john
ston's court covering and his smashing
tailed the close games for him.
