By JAMES 8. O'NEALE.

There were few upsets on the turf
tennis courts Of the Rocksway Hunt

the Brooklyn southpaw, who won ths
event last season, in straight sets,
Ga, 6-4.
In the other surprise, Alrick Fl. MAJ.
jr., the former Yale captain, rushed
the net so effectively against the tenth
man on the national ranking list.
Walter Merrill Hall. that the ranking
player was eliminated in three sets.
The scores In Mans favor were 81,
3-6, 81. Like DR.. Rosenbaum, Hall
also has been in form not his best 80
far this season, and Mans victory,
while IL must be regarded as an upset
because Man was ranked in the sec
ond ten, did not fll every one with
astonishment.

Rosenbaum's good streak and because
Of a hard second-rcund match the
southpsw had just played with his
doubles partner, Frederick c. Baggs.
Voshell put the skids under Baggs,

mis- and the usual repartee that al
ways goes with a match between the
two partners, took away g trife OF
Voshell's energy.

court champion; George NJ Church,

two sets. Davis's ground strokes also
were going well. especially his back

Parker, the backhander's drives being
just as effective as ever.
