Fargo, N. D., Aug. 16.-Fred M
Wilson of st. Paul advanced to the
semilfnals today in the state singles
championship event at the North Da
kota tennis tournament, and tomor
row afternoon or Thursday morning
he will be called upon to face either
Geo. Sunberg or Seth Richardson OF
Fargo, with the strong possibility
that Sunberg will be his rival.
In the lower half OF the top draw
in the same event, c. B. Crawford
Fargo champion, and r. w. Muir, Of
Hunter, prominently known state ten
mis- star, will meet in the third round
tomorrow morning, the winner Of that
match going into the semi-inals. Ray
Lawrence, opposing B. V. Moore, both
of Fargo, probably will be the oppon-
ent of the winner of the Crawford
Muir match in the semi-finals, thus
narrowing the state championship to
Wilson, Muir, Hunter, Sunberg and
Crawford.
Outside of the failure of Harold
Knopp, of LaMoure, Missouri valley
champion, to win, the dope held true
today. Knopp fell before the attack
of Dr. l.. D. Bristol of Grand Forks,
Bristol in turn being defeated by B.
V. Moore of Fargo in the second
round.
Should Crawford and Wilson be
opponents in the state singles finals
and many experts profess to believe
they will be a peculiar feature arts.
es from the fact that the draw in the
Red River valley open singles will
throw these men into competition in
that event, before meeting in the
state event, provided always, that
they maketheir way through the early
rounds of the valley doubles, and both!
are opposed to players whom they
can, under ordinary circumstances,
defeat.
Wilson made his way to the semi:
finals today by defeating Craige, OF
Belcourt, N. d., in. love SETS Craige
reached the third. round by defeating
Aubrey Lawrence Of Fargo, Ga, 6-3.
Progress in the state event was
slightly delayed today through the alb
sence OF Kegley, Of Fargo, matched
with Sunberg in the second round.
This game is set for 10 O'Clock. to-:
morrow morning. The winner of that
match meets Seth Richardson of
Fargo, winner over r. N. Clark, of
