FOUR ANDERSONS
FEATURE TENNIS
TITLE MATCHES
Three of the Same Name
Beaten for Long Island
Championship.
By JAMES s. O'NEALE.

Too many Andersons featured the
play yesterday in the annual open ten
mis- tournament for the Long Island
championship at the Kings County Ten
mis- Club, somewhere far in Brooklyn.
In fact. at one time there were three
Andersons playing at one time on
courts side BY side, with a fourth An
derson looking on. Two OF the three
of the same name were eliminated,
however. by the efforts Of Francis I.
Hunter, the Cornell captain and holder
of The Tribune challenge cup, and the
veteran ex-Long Island chamn Fred
erck c. Anderson.
Hunter defeated ]. W. Anderson.
4-6, 6-3, 6-3, and Fred Anderson re-
tired Lieutenant W. 5. Anderson. OF the
navy. 4-6, Sc, 6-l. The great SINH
larity Of the scores against tho de-
feated Andersons follows naturally, as
each of the losers is a southpaw Fred
Anderson is not a lefthander, but the
passing years have left him stout. lie
is not nearly so sylph-like as Fred An
derson, jr., prominent in junior events
in this vicinity. who saw his rather pun
out a desperate match after he had al
most lost IL.
Almost Lost the Match.
Fred Anderson could not get his
passing shots going IN winning form
until the match was almost lost. Then
the veteran braced and carried his
namesake portsider a merry pace, even
advancing frequently to the net.
Against the other southpaw Anderson
sturdy young Hunter was extremely
erratic, and almost blew the match be-
fore he tanned down mis- terrlhcaliy-hlt
balls enough 20 settled on the winning
side. Anderson showed a steady, foxy
game. well calculated 70 keep the Cor
nellian guessing.
S. Howard Voshell, playing through
champion, had an easy time with I.
G.. Burrows, allowing the latter only
single game. Noshell was IN the nne
form he has flashed all spring, serv-
ing. smashing and volleying with
great power. Charles Chambers, an
other Brooklyn stkdby, caused
surprise by administering what
amounted 20 almost a whitewash 20
young L. Maxwell Banks, winner OF
the Columbia interscholastic event
two months ago. The scores were
6-1, 6-l, the we'll known steadiness
OF Chambers telling the tale, the in
defatigable one nearly always getting
the ball back until one Of Banks's
beautiful drives went out.
Two Of the other favorites, Ralph
L. Baggs, the old Cornell expert, and
Arthur Sweetser, the former Harvard
star and in addition a YEARBOOK author,
came through without much trouble.
Baggs bested A J. Cawse, IS, 60,
the first set being close because
Baggs could not get going at his
best, dropping the first five games.
Sweetser defeated B. +. Rice, GO,
6-1.
Play Begins in Doubles
The doubles title play was started
Yesterday, with Fred Anderson and
Kenneth Fisher eliminating Allan
Behr and Edmund Fixman, the New
York University leader, after spec
tacular struggle that held the atten-
ton Of the gallery. The score was
6-3, 81, 6-3.
The match was marked by many
long rallies that often kept the crowd
in merriment because bulky Anderson
was tired from his singles match
and could not run like gazelle.
