By Fred Hawthorne

Defaulting was the rule yesterday

ment of the Harlem, Tennis Club

manner. 1t seemed as though the
sudden change in the weather from
rain to sunshine had SO stupefied the
players that they were unable to re-
cuperate in time to reach the courts.
The feature of the playing yesterday
was the advance of Ichiya Kumagae in
the upper half of the draw. The Japa-
nese is generally regarded as the fin
alist in his section of the draw. and
ne played with increasing speed and
skill IN his two matches Of the day.

the club champion, and won by a score
OF 6-2, Cd. H. R. Hathaway the
one-armed player, was Kumagae's next
victim, and he yielded in two quick
sets, at 6-1, 81. The Japanese was
putting lot Of pace" on his ground
strokes, and the ball was always heav-
lily topped"
Manchester really gave the metro
porltan champion quite a tussle in tha
second set, the game being foupht ont
from deep court, at which both are
adepts. Manchester led at 80, and
.he eighth game was desperately CON
tested, the points going to deuce eight
or ten times before Kumagae made II
4-all on games. After that the Jan
anese put on an extra burst of speed
and Manchester, call out" dropped the
next two games and the match.
Ensign Alex Her scored a sensational
upset ION the books" by his straight
Sc victory over Wylie C. Grant, the
veteran OF the indoor courts and holder
OF the national indoor doubles cham
plonship half dozen times. Her won
