Orient BECOMES
Center OF PLAY
in Lawn Tennis
Gardner, Johnston, Griffin, Fot-
trel, Dawson, Church and
Throckmorton at Manila

George Church and Harold Throck-
morton are both certain that tennis
is going to become one of the leading
sports in the Far East in very short
time. Both these stars, who played In
Manila this year, believe that the spec
tators at the matches are as interest
ed as they are on the mainland and
are of the opinion that in time the
Orient will send many stars TO COM
pete against the best in America.
Church and Throckmorton were
successful in carrying off all the hon.
ors although they say that Geo.. San
them hard matches. Throckmorton
gave Church hard battle in the
finals, losing out to the Princeton
racquet wielder. Ichiya Kumagae, the
Oriental champion. did not compete in
the Manila tournament.
First Trip in 1912
The first American invasion of tho
Orient took place in 1912, when c.
ton r. Gardner, then associate editc
Of American Lawn Tennis, accept-d
an invitation from the Manila Tennis
their annual tournament, which they
proposed 10 broaden and dignity by
the title Championship of the ORR
emit"
Gardner accepted, left New York the
end of December and arrived in Man
lila few days before the meeting,
which began February g. There he
was met by Edward S. Gee, to whom
Gardner's visit, as well as many i'm
portant happenings, was chiefly due.
Gee had asked the editor Of American
Lawn Tennis to obtain one or two
good American players for the Manila
tournament, and Gardner, then No. 10
in the ranking, decided to take the
trip. He turned the trick, going
through the tournament and beating
Gee in the challenge round, 81, CD,

Johnston Plays
No players went out to Manila In
1913, but in 1914 the journey was nn-
dertaken by William NJ. Johnston and
Ella Fottrel, the former being No 4
In the 1913 ranking. They performed
according to expectations, meeting in
the final round. Fottrel was pushed
to five sets by Ichiya Kumagae. then
just beginning to get into the lime
light Fottrell won one set from
Johnston, the score being G-S, 81, 6-3,
6-3.
The year 1914 was another one with
out visitors from the mainland, but
for the 1916 meeting Clarence ].

Ward Dawson of Los Angeles made

did not bring home the bacon The

camp.

Local Star Gives Griffin Hard
Match; Church Wins From
hoogs in Straight Sets

Alan Lowrey has just returned from
the hospital. Whether or not there
was tennis baccilli or kahuna at
Queens fixem foundry is open to
question, but after the showing made
match against Clarence ("Peck") Crit
fin. there will be a big rush on the
part CT the tennis players to the
Curenl Emporium.
Inasmuch as A. l.. Castle is well on
the road to recovery at the hospital
it will not be harmful to state that he
is going to prove big star in the
last evening that he wasn't feeling so
well, and he might while away few
hours at the place where the white
CARRIED nurses mold sway. At that
Peck" Griffin has also signified his
intention of discovering the secret of
sparkling play.
After getting through the wards
safely enc might return to the court
and mention that Alan Lowrey played
great tennis against Griffin yesterday
afternoon. He made many difficult
gets ana sent the forehand drives
back and forth across the court, land
ing eight games in the two sets which
were captured by Griffin. 6-3, TO.
Griffin also played fast tennis, and
mis- short angle shots were well placed.
and his back-court game was almost
perfection. Lowrey was out of posi-
ton on number of shots but his
volleying was one of the features OF
the match. lie served a number of
double faults, and this was responsible
for his losing the second set to Griffin
after it had gone to five all.
Billy Hoogs did not go to the ether
eal shop, and consequently could not
expect to stage such performance as
LCwrey. He did not play in his best
form, and although Church was de-
men at the net. Hoogs allowed a NUM-
Der of shots to pass him. The local
player, however. was in the game at
all times, and Church failed to land a
love game.
Church showed his first sample of
ability to play singles in his match
hoogs, and when the tall Prince
ton player meets Griffin on Friday
afternoon. the enthusiasts are certain
to see some excellent tennis.
Church doesn't play sparkling ten
mis-, and he doesn't. at first glance,
appear to be a star, but after watching
his shots at the net and his studied
game one is inclined to believe that
he will have something to say about
who will be champion next year.

Beginning this afternoon Honolulu
tennis enthusiasts are going to see
some startling tennis at the Beretania
courts. Perhaps one of the best
matches OF the tournament will be
staged this afternoon when William
Johnston, former national champion,
meets John Strachan, the California
champion.
Strachan has defeated Johnston,
and in the past the two players have
about broke even in their matches.
Strachan has, of course, been out of
the game great deal during the past
year and the champion in 1915 will
undoubtedly be the favorite, but it
would not be surprising If the match
went three sets. and there is always
the possibility that Johnston may be
defeated, as Strachan is no mean OPP
ponent. He knows Johnston's style of
play and IL he is right should give the
fans a great exhibition.
Throckmorton appears to have the
edge in the first match of the day.
but il Eklund should strike one of his
good days the youngster will have to
be playing careful tennis. Thfock-
morton smashes the ball with aban-
don and as soon as he can learn to
place them will be one OF the real stars
OF the game. Eklund played excellent
tennis In his doubles match and may
show something of his class this af-
ternoon 1t will be interesting to com
pare the play of class A man with

On Friday afternoon George Church
