RAY IN the Metropolitan junior cham
pionship tennis tournament began yes
terday at the Kings County Tennis Club
In Brooklyn with an entry list OF sixty
three. The first round was completed in
rapid fire fashion. Three of the young
sters, Robert Walsh of Fordham Prep.
West Becker OF the Bronx Y. NJ. c. A.
and A. j. Silverman of Commercial High
School, reached the third round.
Walsh was not extended to win either
OF his matches. In the first round he
trounced Cyrus CANCEL of Commercial in
straight sets at 60. 6-1, and after
only a few minutes rest Defeated Sam
6-3.
Becker won his SECOND round match
from Irving r. Landau OF Stuyvesant
after they had moved out Of the FIRST
round on defaults. The match was over
in straight sets at Go. 81. During
the first set Landau appeared to be suf-
fering from stage fright and could not
settle down to good tennis. His strokes
were clean enough but he had no con-
troll over the ball. and his numerous err
rors made the winning of the set easy
for the Bronx boy. In the second set,
however, he struck his stride and made
his rival hustle for every point.
Silverman won in the first round
from p. N. Marshall of Manual in
straight sets at 60, 6-4 and followed
this with victory over L. A. Daley OF
East Orange at e.. rs. This match

boys were evenly matched and the way
they battled made It certain that they
had had plenty of experience on the
courts.
