Ono surprising upset and ono near
unset featured yesterday's session of the
middle states Junior covered court ten
nis tournament, In progress this week
on tho Wanamaker roof.
Andrew Morgan, of tho Germuntown
High School, furnished tho big Jolt by
trimming Don Nichols, the youthful Uni
versity of Pennsylvania star, tn a long
drawn-out and keenly-contestod struggle
by the score of 6-2, 4-6, 8-6,
Then along came Mllo Miller, of Penn
Charter, and gave Rodney M. Beck, of
the Qermantown Academy, Pennsylvania
state Juntor champion, the hardest kind
of a fight. Beck took the first set 6-4,
but In the second Miller outplaved the
tltleholder and three times was within
one point of the set
Filled in Net Attack
Beck has not appeared on the courts
for nearly two weeks and tho lay-off
had affected both hlB strokes and his
Judgment He seemed to forget that the
rules of tennis permit a player to dash
to the net and that the object of the
game Is to get the ball over said net, but
at the same time keep It within the op
ponent's court.
Eventually, however. Beck pulled
himself together and won the second
and deciding set, 9-7, but Miller was
always dangerous, as he kept his nerve,
rilayed hard right to the finish and used
his head at all times. Given another
year under Doctor Strong's capable
coaching and young Miller will rank
with the leading joungsters of this dis
trict. Morgan Played Well
In defeating Nichols, young Morgan
played very fine tennis. He Is tall,
rangy, quick on his fet and seems to
have court Instinct. He has a very
snappy forehand drive, covers court ef
fectively and has the necesary reserve
strength to keep going at top speed
through a hard three-set match. He got
the Jump on Nichols right off the reel
yesterday and won the first Bet with the
greatest ease, 6-2. In the second set
Nichols braced, used better Judgment
and won by 6-4. The deciding set was
a corker.
Boy boys put up a brilliant brand of
tennis and every game was desperately
' contested. Both wero within a point or
two of victory several times, only to
have the other rally and snatch the ad
vantage away. Morgan proved the
steadier, however, and had the pep In
the pinches, so In the end was victorious
by 8-6.
Earlier In the day Beck easily de
feated Jack Repp, of Penn Charter,
6-2, 0-2.

Burns more than made good last year,
lie swatted his way Into the headlines
with his tlmelj drives and was no slouch
when It came to fielding. In fact, ha
had tho best 5 far of his career, finish
ing second to Ty Cobb In batting and
giving the Georgian a. run for his white
alley.
It was on Mav 10 of last ear that
Tioga George carved hlv initials In the
hall of fame The A's were playing the
White Sox and Faber was hooking 'em
over. Two men were easy outs In the
first stanza and Tilly Walker slammed
one Into tho left field bleachers for a
home run. Uurns stepped up next and
'with a mighty swing, soaked tho pellet
ovuk the left Held WALL for tho long-
est hit ever seen on the home grounds.
But that was not all. In the ninth
Inning he tied the score with another
homer Into the bleachers. Two homer
In one day are enough for one guy.
The game was one of the sarangest
ever plavcd here It went eleven In
nings and was won by the score of G to

enough to cop the verdict. It. W, M.
