MANY MATCHES ARE
PLAYED in TOURNEY
J. M. Hancock Upsets Dope by De-
featins Colin Herrle at District
Tennk. 6-4. IS.

A large gallery was on hand yes
terday afternoon when the second
days play in the District Of Colum-
bis tennis championship tournament
was started on the Dumbarton Club
courts. Rapid progress was made. and
now practically all of the poorer play
ers have been weeded out and a bet
ter line can be gotten as to the prob
able ultimate results. 2
Probably the biggest upset Of the
day was the defeat of J. NJ Hancock
by Colin HerrIe. Hancock is one Of
the best players Of the DUmbarton
Club, and was generally looked upon
as a contender for the title. but he
was beaten in straight sets by Herrle,
81. Is. The latter played a very
good game and deserved to win He
showed a lot OF ability at covering
his court and an exceptionally strong
backhand. Hancock looked to be play
ing his best game, but was simply
outplayed.
George Lewis and R. c. Vanvliet
furnished an interesting match which
was called onS account Of darkness
after the former had taken the first
set 6-3 and was on the short end
Of a 3-2 score in the second. Van
Vliet is the only out-of-town entrant
and is looked upon as a very dan
gerous man. He showed a strong all
around game and the finish Of this
match should be of exceptional in
terest.
When Ezra Gould beat Meade Fletch-
er. the freak score Of the tournament
was shown. Gould won the first set.
81, and lost the second by the same
score, but in the third and deciding
one, twenty-six games were necessary
before Gould could win, 1+-12. This
score is believed to be one OF the
biggest in local tournament play dur
ing the past few years In 0is last
set, both men played good tennis and
on any number Of occasions each was
within a single point Of victory.
