FAVORITES LOSE
IN TENNIS GAME
AT HARTSDALE
Mrs. E. Raymond and Miss
M. Vanderhoef Defeated
in Semi-FinaIs.
BY JAMES 8. O'NEALE.

Never since we played leapfrog as a
kid have so many upsets appeared 70
hold the world. Still another tumble
of favorite took place yesterday at
the Eastern tennis championships of
New York State at the County Tennis
Club of Westchester, Greenacres,
Hartsdale. The favorite was the team
Of Mrs. Edward Raymond and Miss
Marie Vanderhoef, who were eliminated
in the semi-fnals by Mrs. Robert A.
Pope and Miss Edith White, 6-3, 90,
6-3.
Another surprise, if not an actual
upset, came about in the other semi
final round. Miss Marie Wagner, in
door champion until Miss Molla Blur
stedt heard Of New York, and Mrs.
David c. Mills lost to Mrs. Homer
Green-Adelaide Browning that was
and Miss Katharine Browning by the
ridiculous score of 90, 60. Then,
IN the finals, the sisters walloped Mrs.
Pope and Miss White, 6-3, g, in a
match much closer than the scores
would whisper TO you.
Week Filled with Upsets.
There is something about the Harris
/ dale atmosphere that seems 70 cause
/ upset. after upset. To mention just a
, few during the week: Miss Vanderhoet
walloped Mrs. Raymond. favorte. in
| the singles, then lost in easy fashion
| 10 Mrs. Green; Abraham Bassford, jr
whipped Charles l.. Johnston, jr., and
the Great Lakes champion and winner
| of the Eastern New York tournament
! last year. Vanderbilt b. Ward, was
| eliminated by Ely NJ. Behar, who in
turn lost TO Edmund S. Peaslee.
The rising young tennis star OF the
famous Bassford tennis family. Abra-
ham, Sd, had bad fall, or upset, from
/ his bicycle yesterday, also. 1t is in the
/ air. For ourselves, we have been so
upset all week that we wanted much
more 10 lie down and go to sleep under
one of the pleasant Hartsdale trees
than TO watch or play tennis. Then,
/ probably, the tree itself would upset
on US
/ S. Howard Voshcll and Elliot (Biffer)
Binzen, as expected, and therefore fol-
wonder, came through TO the finals
/ in the mems singles. The hard hitting
Brooklyn southpaw was right on the
/ top Of his game and smothered Abra-
ham Bassford, jr., pride Of the home
organization and founder of the tennis
i Chimney Corner Club, 6-1, 6-3. The
/ Fordham star. Binzen, had an easy
time with the old Yale player, Edmund
+ S. Peaslee, and won, 60. 90. The
/ only upset here was that Peaslee's hat
blew Off and tried to nestle on the UNI
pires head as hatrack.
Bassford Plays Fred Bags.
On his way through TO meet VoshNll
Bassford stopped a moment to play
Frederick c. Baggs. The scores, as
posted. we're in favor of Bassford, 10
80. PIP, defaulted by Bags. Con
slant hammering at the loyal Hartsdale
folk failed to shake the truth of these
remarkable scores. IL was explained
that the match was played early in the
morning. We estimated the time a:
about a. m.
Another upset almost escaped US. I
was not such an upset at that. but II
was most certainly a little tumble. Mr.
and Mrs. Edward Raymond, the only
amicable husband and wife mixed dcu'
bles team we ever saw, when the wom'
an was the star of the combination
/ lost TO the Californians. Mrs. ID. =
| Wood. former California state singles
| champion. and her brother, X. {. Van
/ Vliet, of the University Of California
team last spring. 0-6, IS.

and j. S. O'Neale, 6-3. 6-3. IN a
match marked by Voshell's powerful
smashing and Baggs's volleying.
