Orange Tourney-Kynas-
ton Near Defeat.


Percy l.. Kynaston. tennis champion
OF Rockville Center and points north
south, east and west on Long Island
with Gerald p. Emerson, the Columbia
University tennis captain: Paul Martin
and Lindsey Durham advanced to the
semi-final round of the Essex County
Country Clubs annual open tourna-
ment for the championship of Essex
county yesterday afternoon on the clay
courts of the club at West Orange,
y. j. The tennis players in the metro
politan district are indisposed to lay
aside their rackets for the current year
and call 1t a season. and an entry OF
close to forty started in quest of the
singles cup now held by Kynaston.
The success of Lindsey Danham n
reaching one of the four brackets was
the surprise of the afternoons play.
Dunham. who was active in tourna-
ments three years ago. has not played
on this side of the Hudson in some
time. so that his triumph over Leonard,
w. Knox in the third round was more
or less decided upset. He also beat
Earl c. Bache. both in extra sets. his
aggressive action and ability to force
the pace from start to finish putting
his opponents on the defensive. His
match with the veteran Knox went at
As. 6-i. rs. and with Backe. Ga.
E6, 6--2
Two other experienced players were
eliminated by rivals not considered their
equals in tournament play. Ludlow Van
Deventer, who. with his brother Philip.
formerly held the New Jersey State
doubles title and still fine player, was
forced to accept defeat after thirty-six
games of an extra set match with j.
p. Stockton, who won, g. 5-7, 81.
DR.. William Rosenbaum, former ma
tional indoor champion, defaulted to an
unknown in the person of John Strahan
after the latter had squared the match
by winning the second set and brought
the score to all in the deciding session.
Both Strahan and Stockton. however,
We're put out in the fourth round. the
former by Paul Martin by the score of
60, 1-6 G-3. and Stockton by Kynas-
ton. 9--6, IS, 60. Strahan was within
two points of victory when he led one
set and o. in the second session, but
Kynaston steadied down to his best
form. ran three games straight and won
the last set easily.
OF the twelve matches in the third
and fourth rounds seven were carried to
extra sets. Emerson was the only one
to reach the semi-fi finals in straight sets.
He beat Anton +. Won Bernuth, an oc-
casional doubles partner. 6-2, Ga
Rain and darkness prevented any of
the doubles matches from being COM
pleted. The singles. doubles and mixed
doubles will be continued on Columbus
Day.
