Nine matches we're completed during
the afternoon. and Of that number only
three required an extra game 10 de-
eide the winner. The opening round
found several out OF town entrants sue
cessful i'm moving up peg.
Several OF tne contestants VINO are
looked upon as having a favorable
chance for the title disposed OF their
opponents in easy fashion. Eric >.
Winston, the promising player from the
Harvard Club, who had been cutting
capers in the recent intercluh cham
pionship competition, again displayed
his rapidly improving form.
In meeting Z. +. I. Riggs, the sea
soned player from the Heights Casino,
of BROOKLYN, Winston failed to give his
rival a chance 10 warm to his work, de.
feating him by the one-sided scores OF
10 ,, 10 ..
The Crimson player had Riggs baiiled
by his speed and his ability to get many
nearly dead shots off the back wall;
Winston always pressed the issue and
his clever back-haud shots drew ap-
plause from the gallery.
Charles VI. Bull, jr., the Heights
Casino player, who has many support
ers in his quest for the title, had little
trouble in disposing Of Edward W. Put
nam. of the Columbia Club. The scores
were l5-S, IS s. The match was the
shortest of the day, Bull invariably
gal Q an ace on his opponent on ms
many shots off the back wall. Putnam
found it impossible 70 meet TINS style
Of attack. and practically from the
play-oir in each game he traIled IN the
scoring.
Much praise was heard for Joseph

dolph Goepel, the club champion of the
Heights Casino. of Brooklyn. Although
the Yale student was defeated by the
scores of l5-17, 10 3, 10 s, he gave
Goepel fight in the opening game that
the Casino nan will long remember.
The Brooklyn man worked all ms trlcks
and shots against the rising Eli player,
but Walker surprised the crowd by ms
ability to follow the fast pace and 10
pick the low drives of the back wall
