Kynaston Defeats WaIz

Although the first round of the
.s.ropolitan tennis championship. be-
y held for the first time at the Eighth
last Artillery Armory, Kingsbridge
,sa Fordhsm roads, attracted a near
\ .,ord entry, all of the favorites for
As title came through victorious. De-
ate the inaccessability of the Bronx
/ t.s. ninety-one players participated.
Vincent Richards, the junior singles
"a doubles ;ndoor and outdoor cham
,ion. qualified by defeating W. H. Rux-
4 ~ is straight sets, 60, 6--1, but the
I s,,aham youths performance was
J n PARTICULARLY impressive. He was
r..tuIly lacking in speed and while his
,rs was as keen as ever, he showed
ggns Of slowness, which will have to
!. overcome if he hopes to defeat
sri Anderson when they meet in the
.,s.are match to-day.
Placements Are Accurate
psrcy Kynaston, the Nassau and
aseens champion, had an easy time
ThE. A. Walz. winning 6-3 and 6-1.
Tvusston was in fine form and his
,lscsments were consistently accurate.
/, usual he was slow to start, but he
rsrmed up to his task in the second set
I'd won as he pleased.
aaaerson, who is looked upon as one
atse strongest contenders for the new
d,s, drew bye yesterday, and his
-..ch with Richards to-day is expected
9 be one OF the hardest fought of the
.,rruament. Richards fell before the
,ay Of Fred less than two weeks ago,
Ind unless the latter displays better
sanis than he did to-day he will be
animated by Anderson.
All Of the strongest contenders have
Seen drawn in one group, and indica-
ions are that some of the best playing
TilI take place in the early stages of
lie meet.
