Notable Entries at Greenwich

Mrs. Harry Franklin Morse, of the
Greenwich Country Club, who, as Miss
Marion Vanderhoef, was runner-up to
the then Miss Molla Bjurstedt in the
women's national tournament of 1917
writes to me to say that the womens
open lawn tennis tournament in sim
giles and doubles, on the turf courts Of
that club, starting week from to-day,
vii have one of the most notable en-
Try lists OF the season.
This is one of the events scheduled
on the turf surface for the express
purpose of giving the women the neces-
sary practice for the national cham
pionships at the Philadelphia Cricket
Club, next September, and it has been
duly sanctioned by the United States
Lawn Tennis Association.
Mrs. Morse is giving a handsome new
challenge cup for the winner of The
singles, to become the permanent prop
erty of the player winning it three
times. In addition there are unusually
choice prizes for the winners and run
ners-up in each event, including silver
clocks, silver cigarette cases, travelling
bags, etc.
The singles will begin at 2:30 o'clock
in the afternoon daylight saving
time), and the doubles on W Wednesday
morning, July 7. The players will he
required to play two singles matche es
on the opening day and one singles
and one doubles on Wednesday. S w.
Merrihcw will act as referee.
A special luncheon Will be served
at the club for 81. The entry fee for
the doubles, and contestants not pres

Greenwich is about one hour from
New York, on the New York, New Haven
Hartford Railroad, and automobiles
VIII meet trains leaving the Grand Cen
trail Station, Eastern standard time, at
S:l2 and 9:06 a. m. and 12:06, 1:O6,
1:20, ! 81 and PIP p. m. The tourna-
ment committee consists Of Miss Julia
Shankey, Miss Dorothy Leary, Miss
Dorothy Thompson, Miss Katherine
Pomeroy and Mrs. Morse, chairman.
There is strong probability that
some of the noted women players from
the Pacific Coast may compete at
Greenwich. Miss Florence Ballin, who
with Miss Marion Zindersten, the new
national clay court CHAMPION, is now
on her way back to this city from
Chicago, informed me last week that
Miss Helen Baker and Miss Eleanora
Tenant, two of the most brilliant of
the Californians, will be East within
the next week or ten days, and Mrs
May Sutton Bundy will arrive few
days later. With Miss Zinderstein and
Mrs. George W. Wightman, national
titleholder, in the Greenwich draw the
tournament should be d classic.
In yesterday mornings Tribune, in
discussing the match at the Nassau
Country Club between Lyle f. Mahan
and Commander w. S. Anderson, l un-
intentionally, it seems, committed an
error, whim am this moring very glad
to rcctity. stated in Mondays Trib-
une that Mahan and Anderson had
started their match on Saturday, and
that when Anderson had won the first
set and held big lead in the second,
Mahan, at the point of exhaustion, de-
clared he could play no longer, and that
Anderson refused to accept default,
but insisted upon playing the entire
match over again on Sunday

who was watching Sundays match.

posed my information was correct Mr..
Mahan, in a letter received last night,
declared he had won the first set at
Is, and Anderson the second, at
9-7, and that then, having previously
defeated Philip Van. Deventer in the
morning, he offered to default to Ander-
son and the latter refused to accept.
These, apparently, are the facts in
the case, and ] am glad to set matters
