The rallies were long sustained from

Anderson, Schoolboy, Reach
es Third Round in North
Side Title Meet

The third annual lawn tennis tourna-
ment for the North Side championships
in mems singles and doubles began
yesterday afternoon on the fine clay
courts of the University Heights Ten
mis- Club, on the Harlem River, near
2o7th Street, The Bronx, with field of
sixty-four starters, one of the largest
entries of the season.
Frank Anderson, the schoolboy, who
won the Long Island championship
about ten days ago, reached out into
the third round yesterday. being the
furthest advanced of the field. He
first defeated B. w. Stair at 6-1, 7--5
and then eliminated w. Sachs at 6-2,
81, Ga
His brilliant play, both from back
court and at the net position, indicated
that the youngster will be a hard op
ponent to get by for the man who
wants to win the title this year.
One-Armed Player Stars
The best match of the day, from the
spectators viewpoint, came about in
son, New England intercollegiate
champion, and H. R. Hathaway, the
wonderful ope-armed player of this
city. Hendrickson won, but it was
only after three hard sets, the scoring
going in his favor at 6-1, 81, 6-4.
Hathaway, in spite of his handicap,
volleyed with great skill and his ser
vice was also we'll placed and fairly
severe.
Fred Anderson, ST., father of Frank,
ard years age one of the ranking play
ers OF the country, signal:zed his ap-
pearance ly defeating S. c. Cook at
Go, 3-6, GO. The tall veterans

annual tournament.
Bassford and Steinkampf made full
use of their more severe services i'm
this match, which was bitterly con-
tested all the way through the first
three sets.
Steinkampf got working in deadly
fashion overhead, while Bassford made
the openings for his partner by splen-
did deep court driving. 1t was he who
held the breach when Steinkampf had
periods of wildness.
Duncan was the star of the match
in the many spirited volleying duels at
the net. while DR.. Morganthaier backed
up his partner by the steadiness of his
play in back court. Steinkampf and
Bassford had already won the Harlem
and Brooklyn doubles titles, so yester-
days victory makes the third cham

Young Players Come
TO. Fore on Courts

about Miss Goss applies almost equally
we'll to Miss Zinderstein, although
there are certain marked differences
IN their style of play. The Boston
star is better, more deadly volleycr
than MISS Goss, and her cross-court,
backhand drive is one of the prettiest
strokes in use at the present time.
She gets more "top" on her strokes
than her New York rival, and is quicker
at getting to the net, a valuable asset
IN these days of the modern woman's
tennis,
One Serious Weakness
But Miss Zinderstein showed one ia
tal weakness at Philadelphia, a weak
ness that cost her the match with Miss
Sears and probably place in the final
round, where she would have opposed
Miss Goss. The girl from the Long
wood Cricket Club developed an unex-
plainable streak Of wildness in her SER
vice, making the almost unheard of to-
tai OF nineteen double faults in the
Sears match; but even in spite of this
she forced Miss Sears to the limit,
OF course, Miss Zinderstein was suf-
ferlng from only temporary lapse
in her delivery and one that should
not be difficult to remedy.
The holding of the first girls national
singles championship at Philadelphia
brought out two promising young
players in the winner and the runner
up. Miss Katherine Porter, the winner
OF the championship, and Miss Dorothy
Walker, whom she defeated in the final
round, are both remarkably well
equipped, considering their limited d
court experience, Miss Porter particu-
larly executing her ground strokes in
| excellent form.
The women's game owes great
debt to Julian S. Myrick, vice presi-
dent of the U. S. N. L. 7. A., who in
stituted this fixture, for his interest in
the development of girls tennis Great
good should result therefrom.

Fielder Jones, who until recently

out boldly stating that the Cleveland
team will win the American League
pennant. Jones sees the Yankees as
second choice and the Boston Red Sox
as the third contenders. A wholesale
enlistment and draft of players into
the branches of the army and navv

to such extent that Jones does not

sons clip and retired him with the as
sistance of Shawkey.
Only one Philadelphia player reached
first base after this sad catastrophe.
Shawkey passed Shannon with two
gone in the sixth. The Yankees mean
while continued to muff chances either
through the most provoking breaks of
the game or senseless work on the
bases: Pratt was victim of the lat
ter circumstance in the sixth inning
when, after forcing Baker, who had
walked, for. the second out, he allowed
himself to be caught mapping
The seventh was potent with possi-
bility foiled. Bodie walked with one
out and Hyatt, hitting for Marsans,
singled. Bodie, however, had to haul
up at second base. Miller ran for
Hyatt. Gardner threw out Hannah. the
two runners advancing to a point where
hit would have spelled victory. CalT.
we'll batted for Shawkey but hit sharnly
to the box.
Peck doubled to left field with only
one out in the eighth. Baker and Pratt
both hit to Davidson.
Tough Break in Ninth
About as tough break as any the
Yankees experienced helped feature
the ninth. Pipp beat slow dribbier
down the third base line. On a hit
and-rup play Bodie hit viciously TO-
ward left field, but Gardner leaped up
for a spectacular catch and doubled
Pipp off first before Wally could get
back. A moment later Miller singled
to centre. but Hannah ended the game
with foul to Perkins.
1t was reported before to-day's game
that Dugan, the former Holy Cross
star, had resigned from the Athletics.
HIS resignation was prompted, it is
said, by the. chagrin of having twice
tanned with men on bases in yester-
days game.
