and Boys National Title
tournaments
By Fred Hawthorne


Ihe indoor lawn tennis season began
yesterday on the courts Of the 7th Reg
lment %rmory, at Park Avenue and
Slxty-sixth Street, with the national
Junior and boys tournaments begin
ning their opening rounds of play in
'he singles. Thirty-two youths were
entered in the first event and some
twenty youngsters in the otheA; the
quality of the entries being we'll up to
the standard set lin former years.
The favortes came through to VIC
tory on the first day of play, and gen.
orally without any difficulty. although
IN some few cases the opposition was
suffer than expected. Harold L. Tay-
Tor, national outdoor junior title
holder who was runner-up to E. II.
Hendrickson last year in this tourney,
won his first round match yesterday
Michael E. Macksoud, of Boys High
School, by score of 81 Go. Taylor
completely outclassed his young op-
ponert, scoring many points with beau
tlful passing shots down the side lines
as Macksoud attempted to close in at
the net position
Taylor In Upper Half
Taylor is in the upper half of the
draw, together with Frank T. Anderson
North Side and Long Island champion
like probable opponents in the semi
ilnal round Anderson triumphed over
Henry Brunnie, of Dwight School, By
score of 60, CT, his speedy footing
on the court and his unusual variety
of strokes dclighting the spectators
Frank took eleven games in row in
this match and apparently held himseli
we'll in reserve at all times. He and
Taylor should provide rare struggle
in the semi-hnal brackets.
Vincent Richards, national outdoor
boy champion and holder Of the ma
tional doubles title with William I
Tilden, I'd, of Philadelphia, and prob
ably the most sensational figure ir
junior tennis in the history of the
game in this country, is bracketed ii
the lower half of the draw, and if he
displays anywhere near the skill he
/ showed last season, will face the win
ner of the TaylorAnderson match ir
the final round for the Junior title
Richards did not play yesterday, but
will take the court to-day and play
two matches; The boy champion is il
the easy half of the draw, his mos
formidable rivals being Abraham Bass
ford, Sd, B. NJ Arnold, jr., and Percy
Kynaston.
The boys completed all their matches
in the first round and made q start il
the second, and the play was just al
spirited in this tourney as that showl
by the juniors. Louis B. Daley, o
East Orange, besides winning his open
ing match in the boys event from
F. Mathey, of Mercersburg Academy
by a score of 6-1, GO, proved hi
mettle by scoring a triumph over d
w. Herman, of New York University
in the junior tourney, scoring at GO
6-1. Daley is tall for his age and hi
strokes are made in good form. HI
may prove a dangerous contender TO
the boys title.
