SELDEN PICKED TO
Win Junior TROPHY
Good Progress Made in District Tennis
Champs-Reach Semi
Finals oday.

Exceptional progress was made in the
second days play in the Junior District
tennis championship tournament on the
Princeton Clubs courts yesterday, and
II Is expected that the semi-flnals will
be reached this afternoon.
Conditions governing the event are such
chat the trophy, which must be won
twice before becoming the permanent
property Of the winner, is practically
a new one. The age limit is 2O years.
and the defeat Of Howard on Monday
threw him out of the running as he
VIII be too old to compete next year.
Selden, who put him out and who is
generally picked to win, will be twenty
years old in August, which means he
will never get another chance at II,
either, so that IL some youngstcr comes
along and wins next year he will stand
an excellent chance OF making It his own
because of the fact that he will have
two or three chances Of playing for II.
A number Of good matches resulted
In yesterdays play. that between Lc-
Fevre and McAlister in the first round
being particularly interesting and bring
Ing out a high order OF tennis The
former won out after three hard sets.
80, - and 81. 1t did him very little
good. however, as he stacked UP against
Harold Selden in the next round and
although he played his best game, he
succumber in straight sets. 6-3. and So
Selden's strong service and his speedy
game was too much for him, and he
was simply outclassed.
Play in the doubles event was started
and these matches seemed to attract
even more attention than the singles
In the best match in this class, Stur-
tevant and Howell sprang quite a sur
prise when they beat Frizzel and Long.
They won the first set, 6-4, and lost
the second by the same margin. The
third and deciding one found both pairs
playing as Il their lives depended upon
the result. and really brilliant tennis was
shown by both sides, both individually
and as teams, the Sturtevant-Howell
combination finally winning out after
ten gruelling games.
Another good match resulted when
Dowd and Knapp defeated Dudley and
Salant in the first round. Two pairs
could not have been more evenly match
ed. and after three hard sets, two Of
which were deuced. the hrst-named were
given the decision.
