At Harlem Net
Schoolboy Reaches Semi
Final by Defeating Bow
man in 1'hree-Set Match

1t was day of comparatively calm,
yesterday, on the clay courts of the
Harlem Tennis Club, at 135th Street
and Eighth Avenue, where the annual
open spring tournament is being
played. Only three matches were con-
tested, and in two Of these the win
ners came through into the semi-fnal
brackets. This afternoon the doubles
will get under way and the other semi
final round brackets filled in.
The match that attracted the interest
of the gallery yesterday, was that be-
tween Vincent Richards, national boy
champion, and Herbert L. Bowman, Of
Columbia University. who, on Monday
eliminated L. j. Clapp, the old Yale
star: Richards. playing in the same
brilliant form that he has shown in
every match in the tournament, sent
the stalwart Bowman down to defeat
will probably face William r. Tilden.
End, of Philadelphia, in the semi-fnal
round tomorrow afternoon.
The second semi-fnalist Of the day
was Henry II. Bassford, who came
through by defeating lingo Hartmann
at 4-6, 7-5, 10--8, in the most keen
ly contested match Of the tournament.
A. S. Won Bernuth vanquished Paul
Martin in the second round by score
of GO, Cd, and will meet Tilden
tomorrow. H. r. Hathaway, the one
armed star, will play James S. O'Boyle,
the Pelham Bay sailor, for a place
In the semi-final round at o'clock this
afternoon.
Richards's Strategy Telling
Richards triumphed over Bowman
yesterday by reason Of superior court
strategy, excellent control of stroke
and splendid daring in trying for
line-cutting shots that many times had
Bowman diving vainly after the bali bali
as it flew by him. The fifteen-year-
old marvel played at all times with
the GOODNESS of veteran, and it was
his ability to go to the net and volley
sharply for the corners, that brought
about his opponents defeat.
AS long as the driving duels from
deep court were indulged in, Bowman
held his own, and his service was so
severe and we'll placed, particularly in
the second set, that Richards had diff
Guilty in making forcing shots on his
too clever court general to allow
Bowman to make the fight along his
own lines, and by continually forcing
ms way into fore-court and from there
bringing off brilliant volleys, he com
PEELED Bowman to do a great amount of
court covering and to play strictly on
the defensive.
Tilden should win from Won Bernuth
tomorrow with comparative ease, and
should thus be Richards's opponent in
the semi-fnal bracket in the lower
ta half: co,S!,l While it is expecting too much
tory against Tilden as at all likely. the
schoolboy is quite capable of forcing
the tall and spectacular Philadelphia
TO go at top speed before clinching the
victory.

they tied the score. During the first
seven frames Bob Griner, the star

George Smith, who recently came here

went to the credit of Jimmy Johnston,
