speciai Despctch TO TIE Sun.


UTICA, N. Y. July 16.-Frederick g..
Anderson. Long Island tennis veteran.
was the victim OF the first upset in the
New York State championship, which
began this afternoon on tho clay courts
OF the Yahnundssis Golf Club. He was
defeated in straight sets. Ga, IS. by
James d. Ewing of Yonkers.
Aside from this match there were no
surprises in the opening rounds, the
favorites coming through without diff
iculty. The field OF sixty-four entries
was QUICKLY reduced. The present cham
pion, Ichiya Kumagae. won his open
ing battle from w. T. Mallory, Jr.,
without the loss of a game.
Anderson's defeat was due primarily
to his inability to handle Ewing's SER
vice. This youngster delivers a very
fast first ball, while the second has a
high bound and plenty OF twist. No
matter which one came over, the Kings
County man seemed completely baffed.
He often failed to make any return
and seldom succeeded in bringing off an
aggressive shot. Ewing also drove well
on his forehand and volleyed success
fully when necessary. His only real
weakness was on his backhand. but An
derson was unable to turn this into a
winning advantage, although he made a
strong bid for the second set.
Garland Among Victors.
Among those who progressed to the
third round to-day were Charles s. Gar
land Of Yale. who has Just returned
from his tennis 1 expedition overseas !:
Frank T. Anderson OF Brooklyn and F.
Ramsay Devereaux. who recently made
n IL h. u
as one of three representatives Of tho
American Army.
Garland. the former national Junior
champion. showed the best form OF the
| three. He disposed OF Cecil Donaldson,
holder of the Brooklyn junior title at
GO. 60. The Yale man had all his
strokes working well and was able TO
place the ball go close to the lines that
Donaldson was unable 10 volley con-
sistenty. although he stormed the net
with unflaggtng determination.
The youngest of the Andersons, after
getting a default from Alex Her, took
on the Philadelphian, Paul Gibbons, who
previously had eliminated Allan Garland.
the 17-year-old brother of CHUCK" Glib
bons gave the junior metropolitan title
holder a good battle, forcing him to the
limit in the second act. Anderson called
on all his speed of service and forehand
drive to gather the points as tho Phila-
delphian kept UP a very steady defense
throughout.
C. ]. Griffin of California, who is
counted upon to give Kumagae a stiff
argument in the lower half. began we'll
to-day with an easy victory over Duke"
Thomas OF the old Pelham Bay team
Griffin. as usual, depended largely upon
headwork for his success, but seemed
able to put sting into his drives when
the necessity arose
Kumagae had so little opposition to-
day that It was impossible to Judge of
the strength of his game. but certainly
no flaw was revealed In the two love sets
through which he galloped in the FIRST
round. His countryman. Kashio. won
almost as easily from j. w. Fisher or
Cornell, but the third Japanese represen-
tative, Ken Yamasake. bowed to the
strokes of Cecil Donaldson. His soft
chopping game proved unequal to the
youngsters speed and power
