At the end of a great battle, on
Saturday last, William T. Tilden Jr,
of the Germantown Cricket Club, won
the final of the men's singles in the
North and South Tennis Tournament,
defeating Ichiya Kumagae, of the West
Side Tennis Club, 1-6, 6-2, 6-3, 6-4.
Later on in the same day, Tilden

ning by 6-3, 7-5, 1-6, 6-3.
Miss Marion Zinderstein, of Long

naional wonen's doubles title, won the
women's singles, on Friday, defeating
Mrs. Marion Vanderhoff Morse, 6-3, 6-4.
Miss Zinderstein and Eichards met
Miss Florence Ballin and Tilden, in the
final of the miied doubles, on Friday,
and Avon by 7-5, 9-7, at the end of the
most evenly matched contest of the en-
tiro series.
THE MIXED DOUBLES
Mrs. Morse, who as Miss Marion Van
derhoff was one of the best known ten
"is players of the country and a runner
up in more than one national champion
ship contest, was paired with C. F.
Watson Jr, in the mixed doubles and
the team met with no serious opposition
from the preliminary round, on Wed
nesday, up to the time they met Miss
Florence Ballin and Tilden in the semi
finals, on Thursday afternoon, and went
dovn to defeat, Miss Ballin and Tilden
winning by 7-5, 8-6.
Mrs. Morse and Watson led by 5-3
and point set, in the first set, but Wat
son lost the needed point and the game
eventually went to Miss Ballin and Til
den who thereupon took the next two
ftamcs and the set. The second set was
a close affair all the way, service taking
practically all games until the score
stood at 6-6, when Mrs. Morse lost her
rvice game and Miss Ballin and Til
don won the next, on Miss Ballin 's ser
vice, and took the set and the mach.
In the meanime, Miss Zinderstein
and Richards had been pursuing the
even tenor of their way and had also
arrived at the final stage. The final
contest, in which the pair played against
Miss Ballin and Tilden was a great con
test from start to finish. The latter
pair held the upper hand at the start
and had the score 5-3 in their favor at
one stage of the first set. Eventually
however, they lost by 5 games to 7.
service invariably won, in the second
set, unil the score stood at 7 all, when
Miss Ballin and Tilden lost a game on
Miss Ballin 's service and the hard
fought match went to their opponents,
at 9-7, when Miss Zenderstein and Eich
ards took the final game on Eichards
delivery.
THE WOMEN'S SINGLES
Practically speaking, there were only
three serious contestants fo." the worn-
In the final contes, beween Mrs.
Morse and Miss Zindersein, the latter
had things all her own way at the start,
taking the first set by 6-1 and bringing
the score of the second set up to 5-2
and 40-love, in in her favor at which
point, with only one point needed by
Miss Zinderstein for the set and the
match, the rain flooded the court and
forced a short interruption of play.
When the match was resumed, Mrs.
Morse promptly staged a great rally,
and playing with t a speed and aggres
siveness markedly lacking in the earlier
games, brought the nearly lost game to
deuce, won it and carried off the next
two games in rapid succession. The
next and last game was a hard fought
deuce affair and finally went to Miss
Zinderstein at the end of the longest
and best of the many fine volleys that

THE MEN'S DOUBLES
It was a foregone conclusion that Til
den and Eichards would come through
to the final of the men's doubles in com
pany with Kumagae and Voshell and
when that anticipation was finally real
ized it was generally expected that the
national doubles champions would find
little difficulty in winning the match.
This proved to be far from the case,
however, as, although Tilden and Eich
ards took the first set by 6 games to 3,
the second set went to deuce games, the
same pair winning by 7-5, and the
third and most surprising set of the
contest went to Kumagae and Voshell by

C. F. Watson, Jr.. Leads A First Class

A mighty good field and a good
sized one over 80 players took part
in the qualifying round of the annual
Mid-April tournament on the champion
ship course, on Monday and was tak
en into camp by C. F. Watson, Jr,
The wind and the scores were
both fairly high, and Watson's 41-39,
80, led the field by a marin of 2 strokes.
Ned Beall went out in 40 but took 42
to come home, the North and South
champion landing in second place at
82.
F. C. Newton, runner up to Beall in
the JNorth and South, hung right on his
ancient rival's heels and finished with
an 83.
H. V. Seggerman and E. L. Scofield
tied with Newton, for third place. Sco
field started out at a sixty-something
clip, playing the first hole under par,
the second in par, and the next two
both under par. After that he relax
ed, and wound up with ,42-41, and got
square by spending the rest of the morn
ing watching the other fellows' vain ef
forts to locate the whereabouts of the
seventeenth green. As a matter of fact,
with the exception of Scofield himself
and the possible exception of a few of
the late finishers whom we didn't see, no
body's drive landed permanently on the
seventeenth green during the round. The
short holes seemed to give everybody
an unusual amount of trouble, all day.
H. C. Fownes and Howard Phillips
both went out in 41 and each came
home in 43 and both, strange to say,
tied at 84.
C. L. Becker and T. W. D. Turner, of
Buffalo, came in at 85 and were follow
ed by C. B. Hudson at 87 and by Capt.
A. T. Eoberts and Tom Morrison at 88.
We found Frank Danforth wandering
around near the first tee on Number
Four, when his partner was playing for
the eighteenth on Number Two, and in
view of the scornful manner in which
he rejected our well meant offer of one
of Donald Boss's new maps we are glad
