Busy Season Ahead
Yesterday marked the opening of
what will be busy season at the
Heights Casino courts this winter. On
January 81 the annual women's invita-
ton tourney will begin, with Mrs.
George w. Wightman, former national
champion; Miss Marion Zindcrstein,
national doubles title holder; Miss
Leslie Bancroft and Miss Edith Sigour-
ney, all Of Boston; Mrs. Gilbert Har-
vey, of Philadelphia, former Philadel-
phia district champion, and Miss Edith
Townsend and Miss Molly Thayer, also
from Philadelphia. besides Mrs. Molla
Mallory, of this city, national cham
pion, expected to enter.
In addition, there will be several
team matches with other clubs and ex-
hibitions between high ranking players
throughout the winter. Harry McNeal,
the Casino professional, who has taken
over the management of the Casino, is
certainly planning for a record season
OF high class competition.
Mathey and Frank Anderson were Sc
lected as the No. l men or their re-
spective teams, and they were we'll cho-
sen. The match between them was
filled with fast, hard-hitting tennis,
with Mathey always holding the upper
hand. Anderson,s service was very
severe and difficult to handle, and HIS
voleying and smashing were speedy
and brilliant but too often the Brook
lyn youth erred on the side of cratic
hitting, many of his returns going out
OF court as he tried to score on "kills."
Veteran Player Effective
Mathey, on the other hand, was very
effective in his volleying, scoring often
with beautifully placed shots to the
corners and down the side lines. Many
times he took the returns on the half
volley and shot the ball back for the
winning points.
Parker had all kinds of trouble with
Cunningham in the first set of their
match, and the rallies were long and
bitterly contested. Parker finally man
aged to take the set. winning the thir-
teenth and fourteenth games, as the re-
suit OF great court covering. In the
second act Cunningham lost control,
while Parker improved, running off the
last six games Of the match without a
break.
Major and Kelleher had the advan-
tage of severe and well-placed service
IN their favor in the doubles match
against Moore and Cutler and they also
won many points by hard smashing
as they moved in toward the net posi-
ton. Moore and Cutler got better in
the second set and some fast volleying
orels resulted, but after the games had
gone twice to deuce the Casino pair
came through with the winning points.
