Youngster Scores Three
Victories in Two Days
Of New York Tourney
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July 8.-While wait
ing for some of the more famous
tennis players to make their ap-
pearances in the New York State
clay court championship young Bill
ly Gillespie of Atlanta has been
picking up bit of court fame for
himself.
Gillespie, who used to play here
about for the Scarborough School,
has added several inches to his
physical stature since then and is
threatening to increase his tennis
stature about as rapidly.
Seeded fifth, he has swept through
three matches during the last few
days, encountering trouble only in
his third-round encounter with
Marvin Kantrowitz of Lehigh Uni
versity. He won that 8-6, 4-6, 6A.
Now he seems headed for an en-
counter with top-seeded Don Nc
Nell of Oklahoma City, whose ap-
pearance here was delayed because
ne was busy in the Fox River VAL
ley tourney at Neenah, Wis. They
are in the same half of the draw.
McNeill whipped Gillespie, 6-3,
6-2, at Tampa early this season,
but since then Billy has beaten
such highly rated players as Ernie
Sutter. Hal Surface and Frank
Guernsey so he figures to put up
more resistance the next time.
Another late starter is second
seeded Elwood Cooke of Portland,
Ore, who was upset Ga, 60, @6,
4-6, Ga, by Big Frank Kovacs
Of Oakland, Calf, in the final of
the Nassau Country Club grass court
tourney at Glen Cove yesterday.
Cooke was due to return to Clay
today to meet Frank Salichs while
McNeill encountered Edward Locke
of New York.
Besides Gillespie, the only player
to win three matches so far is
George Lyttleton- Rogers, the tower
ing Irish Davis Cup player. Guern-
sey, the defending champion, made
his first appearance yesterday and
breezed through a 3-set victory over
Augie Millang of the Tournament
Committee.

Handy Andy Oliveri, a broth of q
lad with golf clubs. and spindly
Leroy Smith, his chief rival for the
top spot among the municipal links
men around town, to qualify for
the national public links champion
ship.
That's the prediction of Tommy
DoereS jr., the East Potomac Park
golf manager and local public links
representative on the United States
Golf Association committee, as the
field of 100 starters unlimber their
heavy artillery today, seeking the
eight qualifying spots assigned to
this sector. The tourney is at East
Potomac.
Oliveri had a 72 as he wound up
his practice rounds and Smith un-
limbered similar score. Those
boys should win two of the spots
said Doerer. For the rest it's wide
open. Had Bob Morris been playing
lot I'd pick him as a qualifer, but
Bob hasn't been playing much lately
He's good enough to win a place,
though"
The entire field was to play SO
holes today. and less than two weeks
hence the Washington qualifers will
start for Detroit to play in the ma
tional. Oliveri went to the third
round last year before dropping a
close match.
How are you going to beat a fel-
low who bets fair-sized chunk of
coin on himself to beat par by at
least three strokes in 18 holes?
That's what Roger Peacock did at
Indian Spring as Roger and Henry
G. Picard, the P. G.. A. champ, won
the playoff for the District pro-
amateur championship and gath
cred couple of medals presented
by A. S. Kay, owner of the Indian
Spring club. But they won only by
single stroke from Cliff Spencer
and Claude Rippy, scoring seven
under-par 65 to a 66 registered by
the second-place team.
Peacock Consistent Star.
All through the playoff (and the
regular championship tourney last
Thursday Peacock was the hot
man. So warm was Roger that
Picard hardly had to work. Roger
himself scored a SO. So did Rippy
The amateurs carried the burden OF
the playoff match. But it kinda
gets a fellow down particularly a
duffer) when he hears that Peacock
bet considerable coin he'd do a 6e
or better, and then stepped out ano
did it.
Roger holed a transcontinenta,
putt across the ninth green to put
his team out in 80 whacks in that
playoff yesterday, witnessed by a
fair-sized crowd. That putt, from
behind the pin 40 feet away, en-
abled them to turn with a two
stroke margin. They kept it to the
seventeenth, where they got them
selves in a bad spot. There Roger
had to hole a tricky 6-footer for 9
half in 3. He raped it in as II II
was 6 inches long. Rippy holed 9
birdie on the last hole, against
for the victors, but it was too late
But with any putting luck Spencer
and Rippy might be playing of
another tie today. Those lads had
a lot of close ones. Peacock and
Picard played the mines in 80 and
33, against "a and 80 for Spencer
and Rippy.

New champions and new records
came out of the 1910 National
A. A. U. mems outdoor aquatic
championships, but the high point
man and individual star of the meet
was Adolph Kiefer of Chicago.
Kiefer chalked up is points to
walk away with this honor, and
left behind him new records in the
11o-yard backstroke and the $780,
yard individual medley. His time
for the 1l0-yard backstroke of
l minute 05.5 seconds goes down as
an established record because the
A. A, U. has not used this distance
before.
Sends Officials to Record Book.
His time of 58.1 seconds for the
100 yards and his mark of l minute

poring over the record book.

In the 330-yard individual medley.
He turned in the remarkable time of
minutes 586 seconds and was
credited with bettering his 30O-meter
American record of 4 minutes 2
seconds.
The 330-yard distance is approx
mately feet longer than 300 meters.
Keifer's teammate, Otto Jaretz,
failed to break any records in the
110-yard free style, but turned in
a speedy 584 second in easily VIM
ming the title for the second straight
year.
Three Score Double Victories.
Jaretz, Keifer and Hiyoshi Max

the only double winners of the
meet. Nakama captured the 440-
yard free style and added the $780,
yard crown yesterday. Previously
Jaretz had retained his 1889 220-
yard title.
The Hawaiian seven-man team,
swimming for the Alexander House
of Maui, won team championship

Prevailing sentiment today was
unanimous in believing Welshs de-

mitted that Saturday. No longer is
the Rockville Rambler to be re-
garded as unbeatable, and now that
every ranking player knows it can
be done, tennis should perk up to
a pitch unreached since Barney
started his domination in 1882.
