Eliminated by Okuna
I'm 'Met'' Title Tennis Tourney

With nearly all the seeded PLAYERS
prevented by other engagements from
appearing on the opening day of the
tournament, the metropolitan grass
court championship had rather quiet
start at the Crescent Athletic Club,
Bay Ridge, yesterday. 1t remained for
the lesser lights to furnish the enter
tainment, and they did the best they
could to hold the interest of the gal
lery.
Fortunately Robert aad Howard Kin
sey, of San Francisco, Pacific Coast
champions, arrived in time to take the
grandstand court for an exhibition that
the crowd seemed to enjoy.
Before another day passes, however,
some of the top ranking players will
have made their initial appearance in
the tournament. Watson NJ. Washburn,
fifth in national rank, will be on hand
to-day for two matches, and so will the
Kinseys, who confined themselves yes
terday to the exhibition. Vincent Rich
ards will not make his bow until to-
morrow, and Francis 7. Hunter, Zenzo
Shimizu and S. Howard Voshell, who
have been busy on other events, will
also delay their start until tomorrow.
In the first of the matches contested
within the grandstand area Charles
Chambers, the Kings County veteran,
went down to defeat at the hands of
Japanese who has been playing with
fair share of success this season-K.
Okuna. The latter won after two close
sets of backcourt play featured by the
exceptional length of the rallies. Both
men were very steady, but Chambers
lacked speed and stamina at important
stages, and was beaten in straight sets,
Ga, 7-5
Among other opening day winners
were Armand L. Bruneau, who took two
love sets from Harry T. Grove; Carl
Jolliff, of Montclair, who showed good
generalship in match with Walter J.
Ioussaint; Manfred Goldman, who was
hard pressed by A. Bennett; Stephens
v. brumans who turned the tables on
T.. 0: Desnoes, to whom he yielded a
match at University Heights recently;
Sherman A. Manchester, R. D. Golden
and George G. Moore jr
The seeded players are Vincent Rich
ards, Francis 7. Hunter, Zenzo Shi-

Californian Defeats Beck

mizu After Close Struggle
Special ptspateh 70 The Tribune

GREENWICH, Conn, July 22.--.
james Devies, Of California, by his de-
cisive victory over Leonard Beekman
and the spectacular manner in which
he extended zenzo Shimzu in the semi
final of the annual invitation tourna-
ment, proved the outstanding figure in
to-day's play on the courts Of the Field
Club of Greenwich.
The Pacific Coast youth set whirl-
wind pace in both matches and had
Beekman strictly on the defensive.
Against Shimizu, too, Davies held his
own for the greater part OF a hard
fought set, only to lose control when
ne appeared to be at his best and find
the match slipping away from him.
Ihe Japanese won at 7-5, 6-3, and
1T took his most agile court covering
and meet skillful placing to turn the
trick.
Throughout the tussle Davies en-
ployed a fast, snappy forehand drive
and chop volley that earned him
numerous clean aces. Generally, he
followed his drive TO. the net and
bloc ked we'll. In the first set Shimizu
tried to break up his attack by lobbing,
but the California colegian was both
severe and accurate overhead and put
the ball away for earned points.
After the score reached 4-al in the
first set, Shimizu decided his best plan
was to get everything back, play for
the lines and attempt to outsteady his
opponent. His idea worked we'll. Da-
vies continued brilliant in streaks, but
grew decidedly erratic, Shimizu's
clver placing forcing him into errors
The opposite half of the draw was
delayed pending the arrival of Francis
I. Hunter, who sent word that he was
on his way Hunter is expected to
come through to the final against the
Japanese.
In women's singles Miss Helen Gil
leaudeau. Connecticut state champion
and sixth in national rank, advanced to
the cup round by defeating Miss Helen
Hooker, 6-3, 60, and Miss Leslie

medium of a default over Miss Lillian

Essex Troop, United States Cavalry,
whose headquarters are in Newark, in
their first game of the season here this

Bowman is Winner
OF State Tennis
Title at Syracuse

SYRACUSE, N. Y, July 22.-Herbert
L. Bowman, OF New York City, won the
singles championship of New York
State by defeating Fred C. Anderson
jr, of Brooklyn, on the courts of the
Sedgwick Farms Club here this after
noon. The match was called one of the
hardest fought and most brilliant con-
tests here since Fred Alexander won the
state championship back in 1904
Bowan was pressed to FIVE sets to win
and Anderson took him along at furi-
Gus pace. being a contender until the
finish.
Bowman's victory was largely due
to his consistent conservative back
court playing. Anderson was the ag-
gressor throughout and was all over
the court. To some it appeared he
had tired himself out by his furious
attack
The sets went Sc, GO, 4-e, s-3
and Cd.
In the doubles title event the match
wa called on account of darkness with
Bowman nd his partner, Vanderbilt
Ward and the other contestants, Fred
Anderson, jr., and Frank Anderson,
each having two sets. Both Bowman
and Ward victories came at 7-5 and
the two sets won by the Anderson
brothers were at the same score, Cd.
The fierceness of play in the singles
and the drwn out battle in the doubles
carried the latter match so long that
parts of the court were in deep shadows
at the close of the fourth set.
The tournament committee post
poned the match.
1t will be played over later in the
season at Syracuse if all four con-
testants can come here at the same
time, and otherwise in New York. Plans
to play the deciding set tomorrow
morning were abandoned when Frank
Anderson explained he must leave New
York City tomorrow morning for camp
with his regiment.
