PLAY IN AND OUT TENNIS

Three of the teams competing In the
North Side tennis championship reached
the round before the semi-final on The
courts of the University Heights Ten
Eis Club yesterday, and among them
We're the pair who are generally favored
to win the urnament-Leonard Beck
man and Walter Merrill Hall. The lat
ter team played an in and out brand of
tennis, scoring with great ease In the
first and third sets and being outplayed
with almost equal ease in the second
division of play. After dropping only
one game In the first set Beekrnan and
Hall were inclined to underrate their op-
ponents, ana their lapse in speed ana
Control assisted Valentine b. Havens
and r. w. Seabury in taking six of the
next eight games.

ever, the ranking pair struck their best

had outsteadied Hall and Beekman IN
the second set, continued to hold their
own in the matter of control, but the SUI

of the former team proved too mucn ior
them. The set went at love.
The other two teams to advance as Tar

the net cost Emerson and Seller many a
point that should have been theirs. The
surprising thing was the frequency with
which they brought off brilliant strokes,
only to fail on the simplest sort OF re-
turns. Fisher was the commanding fis-
,lre in the critical rallies OF the second
and third sets, his hard, swift driving
and ability to find his openings earning
the majority OF points for his side.
Frederick c. Anderson and Ben Let

were hard pressed by James u. hwlns
and George c. Moore, Jr., although they
managed to win in straight sets, 81

was that of Herbert l.. bowman ana
Harry ]. Steinkampf, who scored with
unexpected ease over Charles Champers
and Jones W. Mersereau.
