TENNIS SEMI-FTNAL|
Jap Star Defeats Bennett in
Straight Sets in Middle
States Tourney.

Seiichiro Kashio advanced to the semi
final round of the singles yesterday In
the middle States championship lawn
TERMS tournament at the Orange Lawn
Tennis Club, Mountain Station, N. j.. by
defeating r. P. Bennett in the NTH
round, at ga. S-2. The match was de-
void of interest because Of the fact that
Bennett was no match for the Jap.
Kashio started with a burst of speed
ana played some fast tennis for q few
games. but when he found that he did
not have to extend himself slowed UP
and seemed content to use the match to
tune UP his strokes
There was one good match. however.
during the course OF the afternoon and
It resulted in n victory for Leonard
Beekman, the Princeton player, over
Harold A. Throckmorton, the New Jer-
sey State champion. in straight sets at
6-3, 81, In the fourth round. Throck-
njorton's arm bothered him in the open
the set, but as play progressed he man
aged to work some Of the kinks out of II.
From the time that Throckmorton got
his arm working smoothly the corppeti-
ton between the two young players was
extremely close and the result was in
doubt until the final point had been
played. This match was as full of bril-
liant tennis as the Kashio- Bennett az
fair was lacking in It.
Beekman's victory brackets him in the
NTH round with e. H. Hendrickson.
Hendrickson advanced in the fourth
round by defeating August Roche. Jr..
In straight sets at e-9, 81. Should
Beekman continue to play as we'll as he
played against Throckmorton there Is
no reason why he should not meet Kashio
In the semi-final round. and. furthermore,
the Jap player will have to improve on
his game to beat the Princetonian.
In the women's singles. which started
yesterday, practically all OF the stars
Won with little trouble. The only re-
suits which were In any degree surpris-
Ing were the defeat OF Miss Caroma
VIM In straight sets at 60. 6-3. by
Miss Muriel Parker. and the three set
victory Of Mrs lingo F. Hartman over
Miss Jessie Colt, at rs, IS, 60.
