New York Juniors Score
Easy Victory at Tennis
Local Team Wins Eight Out
of Nine Matches From
Quaker Rivals
By Fred Hawthorne

The return intercity lawn tennis
team match between the junior players
Of New York and Philadelphia was held
yesterday morning and afternoon on
the turf courts Of the West Side Tennis
Club, at Forest Hills, Long Island, and
resulted in an overwhelming victory
for the local stars, who won eight out
of nine matches.
Unfortunately, the boys team OF
Philadelphia did not show up because
of the threatening weather, so the four
singles and two doubles matches that
were to have been played in that diyi-
sion were awarded TO New York by de-
fault.
An Interesting Match
The greatest interest in the singles
centred in the meeting between Fred
Anderson, of Brooklyn, and II. !. Dorm
helm, of Philadelphia. The latter is
regarded as the best junior IN his dis
trict, and his team mates were conn
dent he would vanquish Anderson; and,
indeed it seemed that ne would IN the
first half of the match.
Dornheim began well, hitting the ball
hard and showing great cleverness IN
finding the openings for his passing
shots. he took the trst set az GO,
and rapidly ran into a lead of Al and
4O-l5 IN the second set.
At this point the tall Anderson
gained control of his shots, and where
before he had been ''patting" the ball
ne low began 10 stroke every shot
and nick the lines with speedy drives
down the sides of the court. His
great reach enabled him to cut Of
many shots and his service gave Dorm
helm lot of trouble. Drawing even
at ALL on games, Anderson main
tanned his winning pace and pulled
out the second set at IS.
The third session was bitter
struggle for the points. with Dorm
helm fighting keenly against the New
York boy. but Anderson was not 70 be
denied, and. after the games had gone
10 all, he took the last two games,
the set at 81 and the match.
The fastest doubles play OF the day
resulted in the match between Harold
Taylor and Gerald Emerson, Of New
York, against Dornheim and R. VI.
Beck, of Philadelphia. Taylor and his
partner came through successfully af-
ter a stirring match by a score OF
IS, IS, 6--3.
Triumph for New York
This was a signal triumph for the
New York boys, for Dornheim and
Beck have not been defeated in the last
two years and are recognized as the
best junior doubles team in Philsdel-
phia. Their team work was always SUI
perior 10 that Of Taylor and his part
ner, but in the last half Of the match
the local pair by sheer individual brill
fancy came from behind and won.
Dornhem and Beck picked out their
openings with rare judgment and COW
cred their court faultlessly in the early
! stages. When Taylor started a fierce
and we'll sustained attack at the net,
/ however, and was ably backed up by
Emerson the Philadelphia pair wilted
and the New York pair swept on to
victory.
