SEVEN SURVIVORS
In TENNIS TESTS
WaShburn and Steinkampf
Advance to Round Four
at Harlem Courts.

Sensational tennis marked the play
in the annual open tournament of the
Harlem Tennis Club, 135th Street and
St. Nicholas Avenue, yesterday after
noon, and the field of sixty-four singles
competitors was narrowed down TO
seven survivors. When darkness
sifted in through the many chinks in
the fence Watson NJ. Washburn and
Harry Steinkampf had advanced to the
semi-fual round, the former only after
he had been Unexpectedly hard pressed.
Several field mice, attracted by
Washburn's famous slap drive, had
narrow squeaks as some Of the Har-
ward stars untamed wallops flew be-
yond the court. Washburn himself had
a narrow squeak when he faced II. II.
Manchester. after taking the measure
of Arthur Guiterman, the poet, at 6-l,
IS.
Manchester, one Of the prides of the
Harlem Club, fought valiantly in his
home bailiwick. He actually led the
best Greek scholar Harvard ever turned
out in each seat 4-3 in the first
and 81 in the second-but could not
quite repulse the slap drive, and tinal-
w lost, at 4-6, 6-S, after giving
every one but the imperturbable Wash
burn quite a scare.
The eighteen-year-old English school
boy champion, William Botsford, fell
before the aggressive net attack and
the experience Of Harry Steinkampf
/ the old Bedford expert, at ca, "a
lingo Hartmann, another ranking Bed
ford player, put out the well known
Yonkers physician, DR.. L. G. Littell
who created ar upser on Monday by
beating Allan Behr, after q desperate
encounter, which staged almost rec
ord set. The scores were 6-3, 1916
Each player was revived at the end
but the umpire is still in bad shape.
Only one match in the doubles was
staged. In it the pro-German combina-
ton Of Allan Behr and lingo Hartmann
went right through Paul Goold, the art
ist, and the young Englishman, Bots
ford. at 81, g. Many doubles
matches will probably be run off TO-
day. each team being required TO show
up early.
Chief interest centred in what sort
Of fight Guiterman, and then Manches-
ter. would make against Washburn.
They pestered him with drives and
shots all over his court, but Washburn
stung them in the end. Gulterman's
feet beat a rhythmic tattoo in the first
set. but in the second he added rae
ouet song to his feet and pushed the
great West Side player hard.
Manchester when he faced Washourn
showed determination, a good Ameri-
can twist service and fine backhand
drive. The service was deep; with the
drive Washburn was passed along the
line as he streaked for the net, and
Manchester's determination directed
both service and drives TO the best use

GreatereNow York will have its first
real taste of thoroughbred racing to-
day, when some fifty Of Americas and
England's choicest speed-burners will
scurry past the barriers at the Jamaica
track and battle for place in the six
races scheduled by the Metropolitan
Jockey Club.
Given a bright day, the prancing
fortune-bearcrs should attract n rec
ord crowd TO the Long Island track. In
terest in the thoroughbred has been at
fever heat in this district ever since
the snow left the ground-as attested
by the record crowds at Hewlett Park
and Belmont Terminal and it needs
only the spur Of fair weather TO con-
vince New York that the racing season
is actually here.
Interest, Of course, will centre in the
Paumonok Handicap, for three-year-
olds and upward, in which such ster-
ling performers as The Finn, Top o.

NJ Bingham; cashier. F. ]. Niver;
assistant cashier, A. N. Otis. The di-
rectorate comprises the officers of the
bank.
S. A. Wood, one of the vice-presi-
dents, is we'll known in financial cir
cles in the state, holding the post of
cashier of the Volusia County Bank
at DeLand, in addition to his office in
the Merchants Bank of Daytona.
Mr.. Wood was elected to the presi-
dency of the Florida Bankers Asso-
citation in 1914 and stands high in
banking affairs generally.
C. NJ Bingham, also vice president
of the Merchants Bank, is a member
of the Bingham & Maley Company
one of the largest retail furniture
houses in this section, and one of the
CITY commissioners of Daytona.
F. n. Conrad, president of the bank,
has been identified with the institu-
ton since the earliest days of its op-
Grafton, having been one of the prime
movers in its organization as a branch
of the Volusia County Bank and later
as an Independent factor in the finan-
cial world. The steady progress OF

the Merchants Bank and the present
gratifying status of it's affairs is suf-
ficient testimony as to his executive
ability
F. j. Niver, cashier, has the benefit
of long experience in the banking
business, and his acquaintance with fl
nancial operations has proven of val
ue in the transactions carried on by
the institution.
A. N. Otis, the assistant cashier, is
a young man of banking capabilities.
Thus it will be seen that the man
agement of the affairs of the Mer-
chants Bank of Daytona is in the
hands of men whose individual con
nections in the business world are
such as to guarantee their successful
operation of the various phases OF
the banking business with which they
have become identified, and the uni
form success of the institution from
the time of its inception bears out
this contention in every particular.
The business of banking is not the
cold blooded, abstruse proposition
that is generally thought of in con
nection with this line of activity.

ployed in the development operations
has been supplied by financial institu-
tions located within the boundaries of
the territory affected
The Merchants Bank of Daytona
may Justly take credit to itself for a
large degree of the prosperity and
present day success of this section in
which its operations are transacted,
for it's influence in the maintenance
of those conditions is, without ques-
ton, most powerful.
The history of the operation of the
Merchants Bank of Daytona, bears
witness to the fact that its solid and
unqualified support is always to be
obtained for bona fide propositions
that are calculated to increase the
development and make for the well
fare of the community and section.
More than any other citizen, per-
haps, the banker contributes to the
development and upbuilding of the
community with which he has cast
his lot
1t is not alone that he supplies the
sinews of war in the shape of ready
cash when needed, but he must be
competent to furnish advice and
counsel, which may be of greater
value, ofttimes, than the money in
his vaults 1t may often lie with him
to head off an investment which
would probably prove disastrous to
the maker and unfortunate for the
community. He must have not only
the honesty, but the courage to do
this. when, in his Judgment, it may
seem necessary. On the other hand,
there are times when word Of ad-
vice and encouragement to the timid
investor are worth more than hard
cash would be-
The high degree of appreciation in
which the Merchants Bank is held BY
| the citizens of its home community
and sections is shown by the fact that
its deposits have increased by leaps
and bounds as the years have passed
since it's organization.
