BY FRED HAWTHORNE.
The junior lawn tennis tournament OF
the Clifton Tennis Club, at Arroehar,
for the championship Of Staten Island
reached the critical stage yesterday,
with Paul Treanor. George Zabrisk!e
and Walter Hanion in the sUmi-hnals.
Gordon Gildersecve and Augustine
Healy will meet this afternoon Tor the
other semi-fnal bracket.
The tournament will be brought down
TO the final round to-day, and II Is i'm
possible to forecast with any degree 81
certainty wac the champion Will be, al,
though .TTeaaor appears the !ogicai
choice by his play to date:
Cecil Donaldson, one OF the smallest
players in the tournament, started win
q rush In the consolation division and
ended his days activities by defeating
two opponents with the loss OF only TWO
games and landing in the semi-fnals.
Shamus Kelly, of Castleton, who IS
in the opposite half, and about the
same size as Cecil, vowed yesterday
that he would dispute the consolation
championship with Donaldson.
The promise Of fast lawn tennis
brought out a goodly number ye2ter-
day, and although they came TO crit
else, they stayed to admire-to phara-
phrase an old saying.
One of the best Of the early matches
was that between Gilbert Parmele, one
OF the strongest of the Staten Island
BOYS, a son OF Charles Roome Parmele,
and william Malcolm. The boys played
d slashing game, and in the nrst set
were so evenly matched that the games
went to 7-ail before Parmele, putting
= hFnka
through his opponents service and then
won the last game on his owp delivery
masing the score 81.
The last set found Malcolm helpless
against Parmele's strong driving tao
ties and the latter went through IN I'M
pressve manner, taking the set at 60.
Parmele made a good stand against
Walter Hanlon, the Curtis High School
champion, but lost after hard-tougnt
three-set match.
George Throckmorton, the younger
brother of Harold A., who wen the
Middle States tournament last week,
| but lost to Behn in the challenge round,
had a desperate struggle with Herbert
w. Forster before he won at 81,
3-6, "a, in the third round. =
Treanor got going in brilliant fasn,
ion against r. Goldman in the third
round, and triumphed at 7--6, 2.
/ His ground strokes possessed speed IN
plenty, and although erratic at times
overhead, he came through after Gold
nan had forced him 20 travel at fass
| pace.
Gordon Gildersleeve, comparatively
unknown to a majority of the other
entrants before the tournament, kept
right on winning, and appears 70 have
an excellent change of gaining the last
semi-fnal bracket.
He first defeated Dudley Meyer ct
"a, 6-3, end then took the measure
of Fred Barrett, at GO, g. Glider
sleeve played cleverly in both matches,
and was accurate in his smashing TO
deep court.
The best match of the day, every one
agreed. was between Treanor and
Throckmorton in the fourth round.
Treanor's vicious backhand drives 70
the lines we're powerful weapon OF
offence, and Throckmorton found IL diff
fcult to combat them successfully, so
that Treanor won at 6--3. 4-6, So.
Throckmorton made his hardest fight
in the last two sets, playing carefully
and making many difficult gets"
Treanor had a streak Of witness over
head in the final set that at one time
threatened to rob him of victory, but
in the latter stages he gained control
of these strokes, and eventually pulled
out a winner.
Walter Hanlon, the hope OF Staten
Island, won three matches. Against J..
NJ Banks, the StuyvesaDt High School
star, he proved himself a clever gen.
eral, drawing his opponent out OF posi-
ton before finishing the points with
well Judged chop strokes, played sharp
ly across the court. Banks was de-
feated at 6-l, SIS.
