H. L. BOWMAN IMPRESSES
BY SAMUEL j. BRooKMAN.

BY SAMUEL j. BROOK MAN.
There was good deal OF quality to
the tennis that marked the second days
play for the Harlem Challenge Cup at
the Harlem Tennis Club yesterday. bat
there was just as much QUANTITY. BY
keeping the courts occupicd steadily for
nsariy eight, hours, thk tournament COM
mittee managed rs dispose of more than
fifty matches in a single day. All of
the frst round begun on Saturday and
most of the second round were com
pleted. the field being reduced TO about
one-third the entry of liz.
For an early season competition the
tennis on the whole was surprisingly
warmth the players injected a world OF
speed and energy into their efforts.
Alert active court covering kept the
rallies sustained and pleased the gal
lery
OF those who came through to the
third round, Herbert l.. Bowman. AL
fred d. Hammett, William M. Fischer.
Allen Behr and Leslie v. Robinson COM
manded most attention. Bowman, who
came within stroke OF defeating Frank
T. Anderson. the ultimate winner In the
national indoor championship not so long
ago, indicated that he will be just as
hard to beat in outdoor tournament play.
His service had tremendous speed. his
drive was sharp and well placed and his
volleying in the forward court whenever
he came up to press his advantage left
little to be desired. He fairly smothered
Charles A Anderson, allowing him just
one game In each set.
Faces Cupholder To-day.
In the third round to-day Bowman Is
to meet the cup holder. Frederick c.
Anderson, in a match that should so
long way to decide who the finalist Is
to be In the upper half. Alfred d. Ham
NETT met with surprising resistance in
his match with A Orth, whom he fg-
ured TO beat without much trouble. Orth,
by dint of some remarkable getting and
a swift attack forced Hammett to call
on all his tennis skill to take two close
sets, at Cd. 81. A little greater
steadiness at critical stages easily might
have turned the match in Orth's favor
Leslie v. Robinson, who surprised
Gerald B. Emerson on the opening day
of the tournament, scored again at the
expense of Paul Keresey, but he had to
go extra sets to win. After showing
decided superiority In the first set of his
match Robinson slumped in the second
division of play and contributed enough
errors to enable his opponent to lead all
the way and take the set at Cd. Fortu-
nately. he recovered his stroke In time
TO regain the advantage, and in the final
set his margin was convincing. 6-1.
Charlie Wood. national indoor boy
champion two years ago. continued to
advantage. taking a second round match
from +. Il. Dobbins, 6--3. 6--3. An
other one time boy champion. M. Bern
stein, proved too fast for Norman Win
ter. The formers service carried so
much sting and was 50 well placed that
on a dozen occasions 1t escaped Win
ters racquet entirely.
