TENNIS NOW
ON AT COUNTRY CLUB
Championship of Delaware il
Stake at Tournament With
Stars From Ali Parts Of
the United States.


none of the favorities clashed in the first
round, there were no upsets in the first
round of the annual lawn tennis tourna-
ment for the championship of Delaware,
which began on the turf courts OF the Val
mington Country Club yesterday. The
meet was to have begun Monday but,
owing to the heavy rains. the first round
was postponed until yesterday. All matches
in the first round were disposed OF and
several in the second.
The tournament is given decided ma
tional and collegiate flavor by entrants
from the University of California, Har-
ward, the University Of Pennsylvania, be-
sides players from Delaware, New York,
PENNSYLVANIA, New Jersey and Maryland.
All of the leading players came through
the first round unscathed. These winners
included Wallace +. Johnson, Cynwyd,
No. 5, in Americas first 10; Dean Mathey,
former Princeton star and now member
Of the West Side Tennis Club, New \ ork,
and one of the leading exponents OF the
game in the country; Stanley W. Pearson,
Philadelphia champion and Pennsylvania
doubles champion with l.. {. Wister;
Wallace j. Bates, University OF California
Tevis Martin, also of California; Paul
Gibbons, Plymouth; Albert Cross. Gym
wyd; Alex d. Thayer, Philadelphia Cricket
Club.
The second round brought Stanley
Pearson and Edmond Levy, the latter of
the University of California, together
again for the second time within a week.
On the occasion of their last meeting
Pearson had a hard ( ne in getting the
decision, but yesterday he had his man
at his mercy and trounced him easily
in straight sets, Ga, 6-2. Levy likes a
fast court. consequently he was not at
his best. But at that he was outplayed
in every department of the game, and he
cannot attribute his defeat TO the fact
that the turf was soggy. He gave Pearson
good battle in the first set, but in the second
he went completely to pieces and never
had chance. Levy's service was working
very well, but Pearson, having met II
before, had no difficulty in making fast,
accurate returns of the bizarre delivery.
The other two CalifornIans won both
their first and second round matches.
Bates trimmed Daniel kiefer, Jr., 60,
60 in his second round match, and Tevls
Martin finally put p. A. Hutcheson out
of the tournament after three-set match.
The scores were 10. 6-3, 6-3.

local product, over the hudles in the sec
