ny EUGENE n. o,CoNNELL.


In spite Of the fact that there was an
un ieldy and record breaking field OF
competitors In the Eastern New York
State championship tennis tournament
which started yesterday on the cdorts
Of the Mount Pleasant Tennis Club at
Pleasantville, N. Y, wonderful progress
was made. The committee set an ad-
mirable example by pushing matches
along SO that when the days tennis
was completed more contests had been
decided on the opening day than have
been decided in many another tourna-
ment In week.
The committee had announced that
players who did not turn w on time
90 play their matches would be de-
faulted and really lived up to its an
nouncement Some few of the stars,
Including Vincent Richards, the young
holder Of half a dozen national cham
pionships. and Alex Her. were de-
taulted, but there are a number of high
class players left In the running. Har-
old A. Throckmor;on, the New Jersey
champion, Francis T. Hunter, Percy
kynaston and II. L. Bowman are some
Of the good players who are left.
Throckmorton Has Close Call.
Throckmorton came perilously near
being eliminated irony the tournament
right al the start. Hetorew bye from
the first round and was bracketed with
George Garbe. a Staten Island player,
who has been showing good form lately.
in-the second round. It was only after
he had batted hard for three sets that
the New Jersey champion was able to
win from the Staten Islander, at 6-3.
80. rs.
Throckmorton, whose arm has been
giving him a lot Of trouble in all his
recent matches, started off we'll enough
and had little difficulty carrying of the
first set at Ga. Thereafter, however
he gave an exhibition of wildness that
would be hard TO equal. His strokes
we're clean enough and they had plenty
of power behind them, but II would take
fortune teller to figure out where the
ball was going after 1t left his racket
CARRIE Loses . Chance.
Garbe lost a golden opportunity of
scoring a victory over the New Jersey
star ty his inability to grasp the situa-
zion and make the most Of his rivals
wildness. After the Staten Islander had
taken the second set he gained an early
lead in the third and seemed we'll on the
way to triumph. Had he been careful
and played a steady game he undoubt-
eddy would have beaten Throckmorton.
or. rathc-, he would have let Throck-
morton-beat himself.
Throckmorton had no sense at all Of
direction and was giving-away point
after point on his errors. Garbe, how
ever, was not satisfied to gather in the
points In this fashion and started to push
things. He tried to carry Off the games
too quickly, and as a result he too be-
came wild and lost most OF his points In
the nnal set on erratic play.
