family reputation on the courts by de-
feating Charles A. Anderson, at Cd
6-1, in his opening match.
Frederick C. Anderson, New Jersey
doubles title holder, was eliminated in
the second round by Vanderbilt B
Ward outsteadied his tall opponent
and more than held his own when ii
came to volleying exchanges at the net
position, in spite of Anderson's tre-
mendous reach.
Leonard w. Knox, of New Jersey,
sprang a surprise by defeating Allen
II. Behr, of the New York Tennis Club,
by score of 2-6, Go, e-3, his net
play more than balancing Behr's
steadiness from the back of the court
Most of the first and second round
matches were completed and with a
full day for play available to-day, the
big field should be brought down to
sizable proportions. The doubles will
begin later in the week.
