Early Stages OF Tourney
By Fred Hawthorne

y long day of sunshine yesterday

original field of 112 players that start
ed in the Harlem Tennis Clubs annual
mems open singles tournament, SO that
by night there were only thirty-three
contenders still in the competition for
the Harlem Challenge Cup.

to form yesterday. Fred C. Anderson

not not, play hls match with W. B. Lowen-
thal, but he may be seen in action this
afternoon. Anderson is liable to en-
counter one of his stiffest struggles in
the third round, when he faces Herbert
l.. Bowman, of the New York A. G..
Bowman defeated Charles A. Ander-
SON yesterday at 6--1, 81 showing
ine work overhead as he followed in
AFTER service to smother his opponents
returns. His service also was under ex-
celIent control, with good pace.
William M. Fischer, the veteran
tnIack-court star, was forced into a
three-set match by Louis Bry, chair
man of the tournament committee. the
score ending with the sets at 4-6,
6-3, Go. Bry took the opening set
before Fischer could get his strokes
working at their best.
Alfred ID. Hammett, of New Rochelle.
ran into unexpected difficulties in his
match with Al Orth, finally winninp, at
ID, 81. Ortiz covered his court With
Such speed and determination as to
largely offset Hammett's chop strokes.
