NEW YORK, March 26.—Two former holders of the national indoor tennis ohamplonship, 8 Howard Voshell and Vincent Richards, monopolized the attention of the spectators at the opening of the national tournament at thoe 7th Regiment Armory today. Voshell's volleying was severe and he was deadly overhead. easily de- feating M. E. Cavalli, 6—0, 6—3. Richards, who was eliminated in the New York city championship re- cently, appeared more careful and certain of stroke. His service was strong, and his half volleys so ac- ocurate as to account for the defeat of E. C. Backe of Glen Cove, 6—1, —2. Other important winners were: J. L. Werner df Princeton, E. T. Apple- by of Columbia. Frank T. Anderson, George C. Shafer, veteran colleglan of Philadelphia. and R N. Dana, former Rhode Island champion. WIN 36 OF 41 CONTESTS Champion Yankees Do Not Lose to ’ Local Basketers—Score 2,086 Points to Foes' 976. When the Congress Heights Yankees, independent basket ball champions of the District. trounced the Naval Club at Indian Head, Md. Friday ni in the final game of their schedule, they recorded their thirty-sixth victory of the season. ‘The team lost only five games, twice bowing to the Keyser. W. Va. Col- legians, one of the strongest quints of this section, and succumbing to Muir Naval Post of Baltimore, Rich- mond Athletic Club and the Jersey Flyers of Williamstown. N. J. two teams last named were defeated in games played here. Of the nine- teen contests decided on foreign floors the Yanks won sixteen. Among the victims of the Yankees were Aloysius Club's Big Five, twice vanquished in the series for the Dis- triet title: the Camp Humphreys of- ficers’ team, defeated in two games: the Frederick Y, M. C. A, a triple loser in engagements with the locals, and the Allied Five of Baltimore that had not been defeated in four years before it encountered the Congress Heights boys. No District team was able to over- come the ohampions. All told, the Yanks scored 2,086 points against 976 for their opponents in forty-one games. Contest to Silent Quint. Capital Silents won a nip-and-tuck 23-to-21 basket ball game from the R. R. Y. M. C. A. Terminals at the Central Y court last night. Miller, left forward of the Silents, threw a scrimmage goal just as the final whis- tle sounded. PLAN BIG MEET FOR'. A Hilltoppers Will Have New-Track Ready for Annual College Championships. Georgetown is making extensive preparations for the South Atlantic Intercollegiate Athletic Association annual outdoor track and fleld cham- vionships to be decided at the hilltop May 13 and 14. The university ath- letio association will attempt to make the games the most attractive ever held here. Indvitations to compete have been extended to University of Maryland, Catholic University, Wash- ington and Lee, Virginia, Johns Hop- kine, North Carclina, Georgia Tech, St. John's, Virginia Polytechnic In- stitute and University of Richmond. A considerable sum of money has been appropriated to fit the hilltop field track for the meet. Work on the course has been under way for two weeka. The entire track has been dug up and will receive a pew layer cf cinders. The turns are .being banked and the course widened.

Charest, formerly Baltimore's leading player, now is a Dumbartonite, as is J. Bailard Moore, who was left as the Dis- trict's ranking racketer, when Connie Doyle quit last season. Then, too, Dumbarton has Al Gore, Jobn Temple Graves, jr., A. E. Foote, Douglas Hill- yer, Tom Mangan, Col. Wait Johnson and other formidable players. Moore, however, still is a member of the Chevy Chase Club and will play with that team in the Washington Tennis Association matches. While the Dumbarton outfit for Wednesday's clagh has not been decided on, it doubtless will be selected from the players mentioned. Chevy Chase Club will play its first match when it engages the Harvard netmen Thursday, April 14. While the | Chev ase team has no new talent . to offer, it has enough of the old stand- bys to make even a strong Crimson team hustle. Catholie University’s racketers will get into action a week from Saturday, when they will visit Annapolis to en- gage the Midshipmen. Pennsylvania nlso will offer opposi- tion to the Catholic University net- men, the Quakers visiting here April 15. While Otto Glocker, Chevy Chase Club professional, is not due until April 15, he will find most of the courts in playable condition when he arrives. In fact, the majority of them are fit for use “huw. The Navy team will have a busy sed- son on the olic sourts. In addition to Cath- University, the Midshipmen will v the following matches: April 16, thmore; 20, Harvard; 23, Penn- nia: 30.

The structure of perfect chess play, of which the foundations were laid by Morphy and Steinitz, seems now to be in the very article of com- pletion at the hands of Dr. Emanuel Lasker and Jose Capablanca, now playing a series of twenty-four games in Havana for the world title. In the scores of the first three games it is impossible to demonstrate that either master has made the slightest mistake. These games are pertect specife! of position play, and those who would criticiss their lack of sointillating ocombinations shouid bear in mind that in chess, as in war, no attack as between equal Netting White a rook and two passed pawns in return for two minor pleces, which i¢ usval- Iy considered a favorsble exchange, but will be no easy job utilising this materisl ad- antage, as after Black’s 18 KtxP, all Mack's minor pieces will be exceedingly active. ol tex move is siza-censervative. and rves & old purpose, a3 the Knight Vents Black'a B—BA, and is ales within casy reach of Black’s QB, should the Iatter become t ? . forces can be sucocessful which {8 not based upon some weak maneuyer of the opposing army. Aside from the perfectlon of play lof both masters, thé interesting fea- ture of the first three games is that Lesker has been the aggressor, in that he has in each endeavored to lead Capablanca into a position of attack, against which he could launch a decisive counter demonstration. But the behavior of the Cuban champion under this strain might well be taken a8 a model by the celebrated “immov- able object in the presence of an ir- resistible force.” He has grace- fully side-stepped all dangers and left to Lasker the task of working for the draw. 100 troablesome. 18P—K5 Kt Qs 1€......
