cisioiS over Darr In Independent
matches and had beaten him in the
final OF the Arlington County. play-offs.
The champion rolled up lead Of 10
to 0 in the first nine innings and grab
bed the opener, 81 TO as. The score
was 81 TO against the lad from Ball
ston In the second, when suddenly he
pulled perhaps the most dramatic come
back In the three years history OF the
metropolitan tournament. Henson and
Darr had been taking the outcome for
granted apparently, when Darr put on
q double ringer and perked up. He fol-
lowed with two singles and two dou-
bles and cut Henson's margin to 30 to
10. From there on the youngster
gradually pulled up, and when oppor-
tunity came to clinch the game he
threw a spanking double ringer. The
score was SO TO AZ.
In the third and deciding game Hem
son faltered badly and though Darr
pitched with little more than moderate
skill. he won decisively, 81 to "A.

The defeat Of Henson completed q
series of upsets that included all the
leading re-tournament favorites except
Harry Fraser Saunders, the Metropol-
itan champion, who was waived through
all preliminaries and will defend the
big crown next Saturday in the Metro
politan grand finale on the New York
avenue courts at New York avenue and
First street northwest.
Darr, Henson, Thompson and Henry
will represent Virginia in this. After
losing to Darr, Henry played s. p. Ed
mondson, champion Of Loudoun County,
for the right to carry on, and won,
51-32 and 52--26. Edmondston had lit
tie opportunity to work on his game
this year and his showing In the State
finals was surprisingly good. He is exc
pected to come back next year Tor
midable threat to all and sundry.
Ed Henry, who pitched brilliantly 70

able to hit his true form against Darr,

embattled with Clayton
Henson Of Arlington in a semi
final match of the Northern Vir-

with critical pitch.
The king of hard luck dispensers

shoe to arc above him, then darted
back into the gallery that packed about
the Henson Courts at Arlington, a

as the hottest show In The STAR

Thompson literally frittered away his
golden opportunity. With burst Of
brilliancy in which he threw 10 ringers
out of the last 20 shoes, he won the
first game, so to 80. The dingy feline
entered the proceedings in the second
skirmish with the players nip and tuck
and only q few points needed by either
to win the game. The score stood ~
for Thompson and 40 for Henson when
the latter, and defending State cham

The gate was wide open for the Falls

Neither OF his tosses was close and in

MATE is UPSET VICTIM

Heavily Burdened odds-on Fa-
vorite Third in Potomac Handicap.
HAvRE DE GRACE, Nd, September
"a R.-To the many upsets Of the 1881
racing season can be added an unex-
pected defeat for Mate, A. G. Bostwick's
speedy colt, which has half interest
with Twenty Grand in the 3-year-old
championship through two triumphs
over his co-champion.
Mate was expected to have a romp In
the $4,000 Potomac handicap yester-
day, but the task of packing 127 pounds
over the mile and one-Sixteenth route
against q pair Of fast and lightly
weighted Allies was . bit too much. An
odds-on favorlte, Mate finished third
behind Preston M. Burch's Tambour
and 8. w. Labrot's Tired Avon. Tam
bour, carrying only 10 pounds, stepped
the distance In 1:45B. less than one
second slower than the track record.
Tired Avon, with only 107-pound load,
was 4 length behind the winer and only
