championship mems singles tennis
tournament were practically COM
pleted yesterday, and one entraht'
Can't. Al Gore, Of Dumbarton. ad-
yanced as far as the third round.
The field is now narrowed down TO
about thirty-six.
But two matches Of any conse-
uuence featured yesterdays play.
Capt. Cores first round match with
Douglas Hillyer. was by FAR the most
brilliant OF the tournament TO date
Hillyer caught the Dumbarton vet
eran mapping in the first set and' oy
an unusual exhibition OF cross court
and side line stroking. captured the
first set, rs.
Hillyer handled Cores collection OF
trick services with ease, and II was
only by superior steadiness In the
second set that the Dumbartonite
managed to win, 60, over Hillyers
brilliant, though increasingly erratic
stroking. Gore took the upper hand
in the third set from the start and
ran through Hillyer without much
trouble, Though neither man es-
saved a net game, the back court
stroking was Of the highest order.
The other feature contest was
between Arthur Yencken ana H.
Thompson, of Dumbarton, also In
the first round. The scores, 6-2'
ca, are no indication of the strug-
gle that Thompson gave the Dis
trict champion before he finally
succumbed. Both players rushed the
net at times, and 1t was only the
speed and accuracy OF Yencken's
passing shots that gave him the
edge.
The continuation Of the Morgan
Burrell match proved to be an
snti-climax to the Sail struggle
which was one OF Saturdays fea-
tuIes. Morgan took the upper hand
early in the first set and never re-
linAuished his grip. The scores
were 6-1, Ga.
The other favorites were not ex-
tended, and probably will not be to-
day. but tomorrow should see some
hard fought battles. for there are
a raft of stars to be eliminated be-
fore the semi-finals are reached
