Dotesford. at one time English school,
boy champion. and T.. II. Hendrickson.
. coming star from Amherst College.
Binsen played only one match In the
singles yesterday. but he o decisively
from j.. Garrett Of Newton High School.
Barrett gave the champion the hardest
match Binsen has had during the present
tournament. carrying many games to
deuce. However. Barrett was only able
to gain three games In the two sets. Bin

Letson had a hard time getting started
In his match with John Mclaughlin OF
Fordham. losing the first set by IS.
but once the DE Witt Clinton %younsster
gained control of his ground strokes he
swept aside the resistance Of McLauEh-
lin and took the next two sets by SO.
s-2. Previous to his match with Nc
LAughlin, Letson disposed Of J. A. Nc
Donough. q local player. by 60. 60.
Letson and Binzen probably will meet
In the NTH round. as both are In the
lower half Of the'draw. Both are slash

Hendrickson proved himself the dark
horse Of the tournament. His resource

ablsd him to eliminate +. Dornheim OF

Philadelphia state championship for

Botesford played probably his best
game in disposing OF Herbert W. Hal

and Paul Keresey of Fordham. In hfs
match In the second round with Halden-
stein the former English boy champion
wal forced to display all OF his knowl-
edge Of tennis as we'll AS his endurance.
Haidenstein refused to be defeated with
out q great struggle and began the con-
test with powerful back court strokes.
which carried the set to twenty games
before Botesford was victor. II to ..
Botesford came back Just as strongly
in the next two sets. but Haldenstein
did not weaken until he had used up all
Of his strength. taking the second set at
SIS. Botesford won the deciding set
By e..
In his match with Keresey. Botesford
never once allowed the Fordham boy
to get to the net, Every return he
sent back with great speed and ac-
curacy. and Keresey was defeated.
60. 6-2.
Poor Light Mars Play.
The conditions for the matches were
anything but satisfactory. The dark day
made 1t necessary to play under electric
lights, and frequently the boys COM
planned OF being Unable to see the ball.
Especially was this true among those
who rely on volleying to win points.
Thirty-two teams entered for the
doubles competition. and ten Of these
were eliminated yesterday. A comblna-
ton in which Binzen and Letson are
paired seems exceedingly strong. al
though two brothers from Yale. Francis
Hopkins and T.. L. Hopkins. are ex-
pected to put up a lively battle. Binzen
and Letson did not play yesterday.
They are due to get their nrst tryout
this morning.
The Hopkins brothers received a Sc
we're test In their first round match.
which was against II. d. keresey and
H. b. O'Boyle, two students at George
town. O'Boyle is a strong. aggressive
player with a puzzling service and he

game and was mainly responsible for
the defeat OF his team by g.. g..
Through a mistake II was noted in
