Miss Mary Browne
Victor on Court

BOSTON, Aug. H. - Miss Mary
Browne. of California, to-day defeated
Miss Molla Bjurstedt, of Norway, the
national champion, in straight sets in
the final round of the women's singles
at the national patriotic doubles tennis
tournament at the Longwood Cricket
Club.
Il was the third straight win Miss
Browne has scored over the national
champion this season. Miss Bjurstedt,
for the most part, stayed in the back
court, depending on her powerful fore
hand drives and speed. while Miss
Browne went TO the net frequently, and
played a far more varied game than her
opponent.
For awhile il seemed as IL Miss
Browne would be unequal TO pulling
out the second set, for her exertions
told on her greatly, but she gathered
herself together and decided the match
with few sharp rallies at the net
The pair met again during the after
noon in the mixed doubles, when Miss
Browne, paired with n. W. Niles, Of
Boston, defeated Miss Bjurstedt and
Irving c. Wright, of Boston. in the
semi-fnals of the mixed doubles. Miss
Browne had fully recuperated, while
Niles was in great form.
R. Norris Williams, I'd, the national
singles champion, who received a sec
ond lieutenant's commission at the
Plattsburg camp, made his first appear
ance in tournament play in a number
Of months.
Paired with Mrs. George W Wight
man, Of Boston, he was on the winning
side in a match against Miss Eleonora
Sears, of Boston. and J. R. Strachan. OF
San Francisco. The national champion
was not only in superb physical shape,
but his passing strokes were working
with much Of their oldtime speed and
accuracy.

Brooklyn Boys
Puzzling Aces
Defeat Letson
Frank Anderson's Victory
Over Boy Champion Sur
prises Tennis Fans
b. FRED HAWTHORNE

Frank Anderson, a ifteen-year-old
boy from Brooklyn and a son of the
veteran Fred G. Anderson, created the
surprise of the season yesterday by
defeating BENJAMIN H. Letson, national
boy champion, in the final round OF the
Junior sectional lawn tennis tournament
on the turf courts of the West sac
Tennis Club. Anderson won IN tour
hard sets at Ga, 10, %, O., anu
bv his victory earned the right 70 com
pete In the national junior champion
ship tourney on the West Side courts
next week.
There was hardly o person who saw
the match yesterday who believed pc
fore the BOYS took the court, that An
dorson had more than fighting chance
against Latson. who is large TOR ms
age, a hard hitter and a great court
far before it was eident that it was
Letson who was to have the hght on
his hands to come through successfully
Clever Court General
The slender Anderson proved himself
an extremely clever urt tactician ana
remarkably cool when the rallies grew
hot. But one of the youngsters great
est assets was fast and puzZllng ser
vice that bothered Letson constantly
In the forty games of the match, An
derson only lost his service four times,
evidence of the difficulty Letson expert
erced in handling the ball. The best
the national boy champion could 90
with his opponents delivery was 70
make weak returns that Anderson
bounced on like a hawk, scoring many
"kills"
To do Letson justice. il may be said
that he was very wild and seemed un-
able 20 control his severe overhead
game for any protracted periods. Dur
ING the match he committed eight
double faults, besides crashing the ball
into the net countless times in his
anxiety to finish of his points decI-
sively
Lessons Only Set
Anderson was always planning to
work his opponent out of position
either by shots down the side lines or
By deep lObs, and as soon as he had
worked his openings, he was ever ready
tc shoot his returns through for place
ment shots. In the third set Letson
held himself in leash more effectively
and Anderson let down temporarily IN
his forcing tactics, with the result that
Letson took the set at GO. After the
geven-minute rest period, however, An
derson clnched the match by taking
the fourth and final set at Ga, aided
by brilliant volleying from mid-court
and a tricky change of pace.
Cecil Donaldson, the fourteen-year-
old West Side phenomenon, who refer
eed the match, declared afterward that
Anderson had given one of the clever
est exhibitions that he Donaldson had
ever seen in all his long and varied ex-
perience on the courts.

Fourteen-Year-
Old Boy Umpires

During the match between Frank
Anderson and Ben Letson yesterday
afternoon on the courts Of the west
Side Annis Club, at Forest Hills,
Long Island, one of the features
that impressed the spectators was
the loud and clear announcing OF
the points and games by the UNI
pire.
Two of the club members were
sitting in the clubhouse dining room,
but they could hear the announce
ments after each point perfectly.
Finally one Of them remarked: i
didn't know Eddie Conlin would be
down to umpire in these boys
matches. He must be in training
for the national tournament next
week. | never heard him in better
voice"
But it was not F. c. Conlin, Davis
CUP umpire, whose voice was heard
but fourteen year-old Cecil Donald
sons deep bass tones. Cecil, one
of the greatest of the schoolboy
players, is Conlin's greatest rival as
an umpire.

CARATS FROM THE BIG DIAMOND

Cards had filled the bases on Poll. with
none out.
Gibson's pinch double in the sixth.
which scored Robertson. was one of the
longest two base knocks ever seen. The
drive carried almost to the flower beds
in centre field. Robertson could have
got all the way around on the soak.
Jack Murray crowded into the box

hit for Anderson, with two out in the
sixth and runner on second base.
The Junior Police Of the East Side.
six hundred strong. were the guests of
Harry y. Hampstead. The youngsters.
in military dress and in company
formation, marched across the field to
their seats in the left wing Of the

Frank VI. Stevens and Fremont vii.

the kid cops. They stuffed the lusty
lads with successive layers Of ice cream

had a band and q ffe and drum corps.
and at no time took any pains to con-
eeal the fact.
II is probable that Rube Benton will
pitch one Of to-dsy's games. The Rube

WI. LCEI-LL was PLAINLY OH COlOIF yes
terday. The fact was evident from the
start. But his manager left him in.
1t does a game guy good to get drub-
blng once in while.
Lee Meadows, the only big Lacquer
in captivity who wears spectacles at
his work, sprung an innovation which
failed to nonplus our future champions.
He appeared behind cheaters. as usual,
but this time hal smoked lenses. If
the Giant batters could not tell
whether, behind his ambush, Lee was
skimming the pot or looking up the
chimney, he couldn't even see the
benefit Of a three-run lead.
Mr.. Meadow has been tough enough
on many occasions with our lads,
though seldom in his eventful career
has he enjoyed greater encouragement
than fell his way in chunks in the first
inning Of yesterdays game. He caught
no. only Perritt. but the million dollar
infeld supporting him, out Of tune.
Packard to Rescue
The Cards had a handsome lead Of
three runs ere ever Meadows twisted
a toss. But still the Giants knocked
this earnest fellow right out Of his dis
guise in less than an inning. With
one run in and the bases filled in the
first inning and only one out, Miller
higgins rushed Gene Packard w TO a
successful rescue stunt.
This somewhat erratic southpaw
proved as good as Meadows had been
bad. But that's usually the way with
the Giants. They pick on the tough
birds. but regard the supposedly soft
marks lightly.
Because of discouraging support,
Perritt was severely handicapped from
the start. Errors by Herzog and
Fletcher were directly responsible for
all three runs of this inning. Long,
who helped himself to two singles and
a triple in FIVE filings at Poll, shot an
infeld nit through Fletcher to start
proceedings. He was forced at second

tossed wide to Fletcher, and nobody
was retired. Hornsby's single TO cen
