Behr Beats Hammett
I'm BROOKLYN Tennis

Substantial progress was made yes
terday in the playing of the annual
Brooklyn. championship tournament on
.he fifteen clay courts of the Terrace
Kings County Tennis Association, at
Avenue | and East Seventeenth Street
Flatbush. and all but few of the
third round and half a dozen fourth
round matches were completed by the
time Charles Chambers, head OF the
tournament committee, called it dag
The feature yesterday was the
straight-set defeat of Alfred D. Ham
NETT, Harlem tournament winner, by
Alien Behr, Of the New York Tennis
Club. Behr has met defeat twice al
ready this season at Hammett's hands;
therefore, victory was doubly sweet to
him on this occasion. 1t was stub
bornly fought match, with Behr scor~
ing at 10-S, 6-3. in the third round,
with a majority of the points decided
after long back-court rallies. Both
men were steady, but Behr's shots had
more pace and Hammett's chop did not
trouble the winner greatly.
Among those who reached into the
fifth round brackets were Cecil Don
sldson, of the home club; Albert ].
Ostendorf. Herbert l.. Bowman, Harry
Steinkampf, Royal D. Richey and H. D.
Keresey.
Young Donaldson, one of the most
promising of the juniors couple of
years or more ago, was under the
painful necessity of eliminating his
elder brother, Gerald, in the third
round, the sets going at 3-6, 6---4,
s-3, with lots of spectacular work by
the Donaldson family. In the fourth
round Cecil defeated Carl Joliffe, at
IS, 7-5, smashing and volleying
strongly.
lchiya Kumagae and Vincent Rich
ards, who are on opposite sides of the
draw, will play their first matches to-
day
