Board floor courts or cement courts
the Seventh Regiment Tennic Club
proved yesterday that i didn't make
much difference so far as beating their
rivals of the New York Indoor Tennis
Club was concerned. They won just as
easily yesterday on the cement surface
of the Eighth Coast Defence Armory,
where the Indoor Club makes its home,
[, as they had done a fortnight ago on
the wooden drill floor of the Seventh
Regiment Armory. 1T was 8 matches
10 8 in the first meeting and 6 matches
70 yesterday, and no further room
For argument.
1t may be said for the Indoor Club
that they did not present the same for
rnidable lineup OF last year when they
defeated the Seventies team, 5 to 4. On
lthat occasion they had the services OF
two top ranking players in Vincent Rich
ards and Francis T. Hunter. This win
Ter, however, Hunter is not playing at
the Eighth Coast Armory AS for Rich
srdsN he is still convalescent from a
severe attack of Influenza and Is in no
condition as yet for serious tennis.
without these two stars the Indoor Club
did not figure to do as well as last year,
especially as their rivals had their
strongest team available. They did.

tage OH their own courts than on their
opponents courts two weeks ago, but
the result was no different.
Win Five i'm Singles.
Seventh Regiment almost made
CLEAN sweep of the singles matches.
faking five of the six contested Walter
j Toussaint was the only Indoor Ten
mis- Club player to score and his victory
over Arthur s. Cragin at ca, Ga was
n decided upset. In doubles the home
team proved superior, winning two
3natches out Of three, but the visitors
had the victory clinched before doubles
play began.
In the feature match In singles Fred
erlck c. Anderson, Seventh Regiment
champion, repeated his previous victory
over Dr. George King, this time in
straight sets. The loser, however, car
ried the first set to eighteen games before
yielding 1t. 1t was nip and tuck for
!, 1rearly three-uuarters OF an hour. with
Or King holding the odd game to 81
when his control lapsed and permitted
Anderson to take three games in a row
for the set at 10---8.
In the second act Anderson. although

yable margain and won at g.. The
abundance OF net play throughout the
tussle, the splendid recoveries on both
sides and the continued hard hitting
made the match spectacular. Almost
as interesting was the contest in which
Frank T. Anderson, national indoor
champion, triumphed over Herbert l..
Bowman by a score OF 6--3, 6--f. The
match was much closer than the score
shows. many OF the games going to
deuce, and Anderson had to fight his

control was good and he passed Ander-
