MAKE Progress
IN BIG tourney
Second Round in Mems Sin
giles Is Reached in Middle
Atlantic Tennis.
DOUBLES DISAPPOINTING

| Great progress was made in the first
days play in the Middle Atlantic States
Championship tennis tournament. which
was started on the courts OF the Colum-
bia Country Club yesterday afternoon,
the preliminary and first round being COM
pleted and the stage being all set for
Monday, when the beginning Of the sec
ond round of the singles and first round
/ In the mems doubles takes place.
/ In connection with the doubles event,
the committee feels somewhat disappoint-
ed in the fact that but few out-of-town
entries have been received. At the last
meeting OF the tennis governing body 1t
was decided to rank the Middle Atlantic
Association on a par with other sectional
bodies and to permit its winners to COM
pete IN the national championship event.
On this account. 1t was thought that
| crack doubles teams from Baltimore and
other nearby cities would enter and the
| fact that none have done so has been
I felt keenly by those who have worked
so hard to get the association recog-
nized.
| Practically all Of the better players in
the District have entered while a few
names, most prominent of whom is Ed
win F. Torrey. jr., secretary of the L. S.
Lawn Tennis Association. Connie
Doyle, H c. Breck, Albert J. Gore Louis
! I. Doyle, and Paul Treanor, who are
probably the best known local players
all came through in their matches yes
terdav and some good battles are an
! ticipated when the latter rounds are
rea ched am players get thrown TO-
gether.
