More of the Five Con
Guiding Tennis Matches
By Fred Hawthorne

Winning three out of the five sched
uled matches yesterday, the lawn ten
mis- stars of the Heights Casino OF
Brooklyn triumphed over the represen
tatives of the 7th Regiment Tennis
Club by total of seven matches to
two. On Saturday, the first day of
play, the Casino players won all four
of the contests.
The two doubles matches yesterday
brought out the most spirited tennis
of the day. In one OF these Fred c.
Anderson and James Ewing, OF ,he
7th Regiment team, re brilliant jun
iors, defeated II. s. Parker and Julian
S. Myrick of the Casino, by d score
of Is, 12-10. Earlier in the day
Anderson had defeated the veteran G.
A. l.. Dionne of the Casino forces by q
part in the only two victories won by
the regimental team. This nip and
tuck issue
Frank T. Anderson, the younger
brother of Fred, paired with Abraham
Bassford Sd, suffered defeat in the
other doubles match, but only after a
nip and tuck struggle against Dean
Mathey and Leonard Beekman, the sets
going at 6-3, 1910. The last set in
mating in the lead.
Several times it looked as though
Anderson and Bassford would take the
Sc. and square the match. but Mathey
and his partner, a little more reliable
IN the pinches and just as brilliant in
the flashing rallies. finally managed to
pull out the last two games.
Parker took the measure Of Samuel
Robert MacAllister, the 7th Regiment
team captain, by score of 6-4, 6-3,
and in the last encounter of the day
Beekman won from Ewing in straight
sets, by score Of 6-4 6-3
The match between Fred Anderson
and Dionne resulted in long drawn
out struggle. the former pitting his
net-rusing. smashing attack against
the remarkable steadiness and accur-
acy of DlOnne'S back-court game
After the first two sets had been
split, Anderson crowded on more speed
and forced the net position so per
sistently that Dionne had all kinds of
trouble in placing his returns out of
his opponents tremendous reach The
best the veteran could do was to take
three games in this set before Ander-
son had smashed out his final points
for the match.
MacAllister covered a tremendous
amount of ground and made some spec
tacular gets" in his match with
Parker, but the latter was in fine
stroke and his work at the net was
very good, so that many times he cut
off his opponents shots close to the
barrier and sent the ball shooting
hack into the corners for placement
aces.
Beekman, evidently bit out Of form
from lack of practice, had a pretty
little struggle on his hands to take the
measure of young Ewing at Cd, 6--3.
fhe latter is one of the juniors who
have been coming along fast, and al
'hough Beekman had the advantage of
experience, he was forced to call upon
very stroke in his repertory to halt
ne youngs>r in the opposite court.
