Tennis Tournament in
Grantwood Complete Success

The tennis tournament which is be-
ing staged by the members of the
Grantwood Tennis Club at their court
on Knox avenue is proving COM
plete success in every way. Although
the number of entries in either di-
vision is not large, plenty of rivalry
predominates. When the entries
closed Sunday evening fourteen men
had signified their intentions of COM
peting for the Senior championship
while but seven were listed in the
Junior group.
AS this article goes to press there
remains two matches to be played in
the initial round, the Muller-Tomford
struggle in addition to the Scullion-
Kirmayer combat. By a queer trick
of fate it seems that the first round
players lined up against opponents
of equal skill. The majority of the
matches were close and hard-fought
to the final ace
The same may be said of the Junior
matches. Reeves forced Leshten to
a third set before he succumbed to
slams. Unfortunately the two seed
ed players of this class, Holzinger
and Rice were paired against each
other in the first round. 1t is with
out doubt that they would have met
in the finals, Having full control of
strokes the latter captured the first
set on Wednesday evening by a score
of six games to three. Play for the
second set was called at the end of
the eighth game with Rice leading
5-3 in games. Both players exhibited
some scintillating tennis most of the
games going deuce several times be-
fore the Texas Flash managed to lob
the winning pointers across the net.
In fairness to the young Holzinger it
may be said that the short run-backs
favored ed" on his lightning like
services. The Cliffside High athletes
criss-court and base-line playing
weakened his smaller adversary in
the early games. The match was
finished Thursday evening, too late
for this edition.
The winners of the first round will
do battle for the court honors for the
second round as follows: j. Calais
w. Mcdonald Clark Carlson; Jim
Whelan the winner of the Scullion-
Kirmayer match; and to the winner
of the Muller-Tomford sets a bye.
Results of the first round: Seniors:
j. Calais defeated I MOrenp 6-3 a..
K. Clark defeated G. Espersen, 6-2,
6-2; w. Mcdonald defeated C. Shenir,
6-2, 6-S; c. Carlson defeated Joe
Whelan, GA, 7-5; Jim Whelan defeated
j. Calais, 6-2, 1913.
Juniors: Leshten defeated E.
Reeves, 6-3, 346; Jim Whelan lost
to A. Rudee, Ga, 6-2.

All members of the Grantwood Aux
iliary of the Holy Name Hospital,

meeting, which is scheduled for Fri
day afternoon, Sept. IS, from 2 to 81

tember "a. Her home is at 81 Edge
water Heights road. Committees will

party will be in the parsonage of

trail Auxiliary, who will bring for dis
play silver set of 1873 pieces. The
set, which is the private donation OF
Gorhams of Fifth avenue, New York,
will be raffied off in the near future.
Shares will be rs cents each, the
money going to the hospital treasury.

More About the Tennis
Tournament in Grantwood

Although only fifteen tennis players
entered the senior division of the
tournament which the Grantwood Ten
mis- Club is staging, the enterprise has
proven great success. The semi
final and finals will be played this
weekend. The number of entries for
the junior group was smaller yet, but
seven racquet wielders answering the
invitation to compete.
In spite of the seemingly small mum.
Der of competitors the various matches
have brought to light some embryo
stars. Unfortunately the Rice-Holzin.
ger pair had to fight it out in the first
men wou, ave faced each other in
the finals.r Rice, who displayed a
wicked service and some fine baseline
playing, managed to romp away with
two sets, although he was forced into
deuce games each time and for many
points. Probably the only upset of the
junior players was the defeat admins
tered to Kenny" Macdonald by E.
Leshten. Mac was thought a sure win
ner, due to his left handed shots, but
his opponent thought otherwise. The
tensity of this match may be seen by
the 8-6 and 1913 scores of the sets. By
winning Leshten goes into the finals
for his division.
The best match of the entire lot was
played on Wednesday evening when
ED" Mueller and ''Wally" Macdonald
faced each other. Both players ex-
hibited scintillating shots. Sometimes
a point would not be won until there

Raise Fee for Outside
Pupils in Fort Lee Schools

A motion to increase the tuition fee
for nonresident pupils attending the
borough schools from $50 to $75 per
year was carried on unanimous ap-
proval at the regular meeting of the
Board of Education of Fort Lee on
Tuesday night.
The introduction of the matter of
raising the fee was made by District
Clerk John C. Abbott, Jr., who ad-
vocated the advance as being in keep
ing with the action being taken by
other boards in regard to nonresident
pupils and as proportionate to the
benefit derived and to meeting the
expense involved. 1t was stated that
fourteen pupils from Englewood will
attend the local schools this year, and
four will come int the borough from
Grantwood.
1t was decided to communicate with
the State Highway Commission in re-
gard to getting some information as
to the price designated nominal
price," which was to be paid the
board for the appropriation of cor
ner of school property on Route 10
and Anderson avenue, which was
made by the commission without con-
sent of the Board of Education and
which the State Highway Commission
used in putting through the new road
way at Route 10. The matter has
been the subject of discussion for sew
eral meetings of the board, and repre-
sentatives from the board met with
representatives. of the commission in
Trenton recently, but could reach 40
agreement as to the price which the
board should receive for the property.
Mr.. Cook reported that he had been
in communication with the agents for
the Wyoming Trust Company with re-
gard to negotiating with the owners
of a tract of land which the board
wishes to purchase as the site for the
proposed new high school and had
been requested to defer further action
until September IS. A special meet
ing of the board will be held on Sep
tember 21, when it is intended to take
definite action on the matter with re-
gard to obtaining the property, which
is regarded as particularly adapted to
a school site.

Americanization Dept. of
Y. M. c. A. Doing Good Work

The Americanization Department
of the Bergen county Y. M C. A. is
making extensive plans to handle the
expected rush of foreign born men
and women desiring to become citi-
zens.
This department of the Y. M. c. A.
service is closing its sixth year in
Bergen county, and probably no divi-
sion of the association work is so
well known to the foreign born as this
particular branch. During the time
this has been in operation it has
grown in popularity by leaps and
bounds. In the first year 421 people
were assisted, while this year there
is every indication that all records
will be broken and that more than
1000 will actually have obtained citi-
zenship papers under their guidance.
The work is under the direction of
George E. Steele, Americanization
secretary, and is absolutely non-po-
litical and non-sectarian. No charge
has ever been made for any service
rendered.

had been a long volleying of twenty
0 II shots and returns. Mueller, who
is well known court performer in
Hudson county and member of the
doubles team of the Hoboken Tennis
Club, came through at the critical mo-
ment for the deciding point. In fair
ness to Mac it might be said that he
has played but about ten sets all sum-
mer, due to doctors orders. AS in the
Rice-Holzinger match, it was too bad
that Mueller and Macdonald had to
meet in the second round when both
are finals material. The winner of
that match should find little difficulty
in disposing of Kirmeyer in the semi
finals and Carlson in the finals.
Results: Juniors-1st round: Reeves
lost to Leshten, 3-6, 6-3, 3-6; Rice de-
feated Holzinger, 6-3, 6-3; Rudner de-

PRESIDENT C. E. BUNNELL
 SAILS FOR JUNEAU ON ALASKA

President Chas. F. Bunnell of the Agricultural College and School of Mines, at Fairbanks, passed through Seward Saturday night en route to Juneau, where he was called before the appropriations committee to ex- plain some matters in connection with moneys wanted for the college. Mr. Bunnell stated that Fairbanks looked ripe for a good mining business this year, as the two English companies are paying out much money on op- tions for claims in that vicinity.
 He stated that although the college was badly hampered for lack of room the attendance was steadily increas- ing, and that it was a great boon to students desiring an education at a small expense. A dormitory is badly needed as is also building to be used as museum for the thousands of fine exhibits from all parts of the Territory.
 MT. Bunnell may make a trip to Sc. attle before returning north.
