DISTRICT TENNIS UPSET
Hancoek's Defeat by Herrle a Sur
prise, While Other Matches Go
Through as Expected.

But one upset featured the third
round in the District tennis champion
ship at the Dumbarton Tennis Club
yesterday afternoon, that being the
defeat of John NJ. Hancock by Colin
Herrle in straight sets at 6-4. -.
Hancock, who has been going we'll this
season, could not find the side lines
with his drive. and his severe Ameri-
can service held no terrors for Herrle,
who chopped it back with a deep wrist
stroke. keeping Hancock at the back
line for the major part of the battle.
Herrle showed a strong backhand that
came skimming over the net with just
enough speed to make it hard to han
die. The match did not possess the
smashing, dashipg net play which the
younger generation of players exult in.
but was the steady wearing down of
one base liner by another.
Douglas Hillyer, true to his type of
game, dropped the second set at love
to Arthur Sweetser, and won the third,
to register victory at Is, o--6, g.

the hands OF Lou Doyle in straight sets
at C., 6-2, being unable to keep
Doyle away from the net, where the
veterans volleying powers proved too
much for the southpaw.
Meade Fletcher and Ezra Gould had a
record battle for the time consumed.
Fletcher won the first set at 6-1 and
dropped the second to his opponent by
the same figures. Then the marathon
battle began. The games were tied at
) all Fletcher won his service game to
make it 6-5, but Gould came right
back and tied the score at s all. From
then on until the count was knotted at
10 all each player dropped his delivery
until Gould won his service game, only
to have Fletcher tie the score again at
IL all. Gould won the twenty-fifth
game to lead at 1912. On the latter's
service the game went fourteen times
o deuce before Fletcher put ball just
little beyond the base line. and the
battle was over. with the score in
Gould's favor at 1-6, 6-1. 14-12.
The rather unorthodox strokes which
Fletcher uses puzzled the veteran
Gould and the volleyins ability shown
by the tall youth made 1t imperative
that the ball either be driven wit SO
much speed that he could not touch it

CATHOLIC j. LINE
MUCH WEAKENED
Loss of Several of Last Years
Stars Causes Scarcity
of Forwards.
BY n. c. BYRD.

There is a possibility that Catholic
Cniversity's line may be weak this sea
son. OF the forwards who held down
positions on the eleven last year only
two. Mckinney, end, and Capt. Murphy
center, have returned. This leaves five
| men to be replaced, and all the men
who are not to return were very capa-
Bile. In fact, so clever We're two or
three that it seems extremely doubtful
II the Brooklanders will be able to de-
velop a set of forwards as strong as
that Of 1915.
The main loss is in the tackle posi-
tions. A new man expected may be
able to fill one of these, but it is sell
dom indeed that college team with a
limited number of candidates is able to
have at it's disposal two men as clever
as killion and Kerr and of such ideal
builds for tackles. Lee and Costakis,
the guards, were capable, too, the for
mer weighing around 200 pounds and
the latter. while tipping the scales at
but little over 10, being fast and ag-
gressive. McCue, the end lost, played
cleverly in all the games after he was
shifted from the backfield. Mckinney
and Murphy. the two forwards left, are
both good men. Murphy, former Har-
ward freshman center, is about as good
as any other man in the south, notwith-
standing his lack of weight for such a
position.
The backfield at Catholic University
will be well taken care Of Shortley
Rogers and Jack Butler of last years
eleven and Glascott, former Catholic
High School halfback of Philadelphia
seem to insure a good ground gaining
aggregation.
Frank Greer. former Eastern High
and Catholic High star, probably will
be back, though there has been some
rumor of his going to George Wash
ington. Greer did some good work in
two or three positions a year ago and
should bolster up the forward line quite
little in the event he is again a mem
Der of the squad.
Coincident with the announcement of
a seeming lack of material for the line
at Catholic University comes the news
that John Nahum. captain and guard
of the eleven at Georgetown, will not
return. Mahlum's loss to the Blue and
Gray Is sure to be severe. as he was
rated last year and the year before
as one of the best guards the south pro-
duced. Nahum. besides his foot ball
capabilities, possessed other qualities
which undoubtedly made him one of the
most generally liked of all the players
that have worn the Georgetown uni
form.
The Western High eleven is hard hit
this year. about fourteen letter men of
the squad of last season having been
lost. Both ends, Grayson and Hume,
the heaviest men in the line; Peck,
@ Brien Sergeant and Smith, and
practically all the most capable men of
the squad of year ago have been lost
Coach Morse is going to have great
difficulty in developing an eleven capa-

in hand all the way, as he held the st.
Louisians to two scattered hits. The
first of these did not come until the
seventh inning. while the second was

while Manager Jones selected Eddie
Plank, the veteran 1eft-hander, to op-

But the Nationals got after Plank
in the very first inning, when they
scored the only run of the game. With
this advantage, Thomas went along
like a veteran and never was in any
real danger.
