KASHIO MOVES
 INTO SEMI-FINAL
Japanese Net Star Wins Over King in Three
 Sets.

George King, the Westchester title holder, made Q. gallant but unsuccess- full attempt yesterday to eliminate Seiichiro Kashio from the metropoli- tan championship tennis tournament on the turf courts of the Crescent A. c. at Bay Ridge.
 King played a dashing game, but his early strenuous efforts to batter down the defense of the Jap sapped most of his strength, and Kashio eventually won by the score of 6-4, 3-6, 6-1. The victory placed Kashio in the semi-final round, and this af- ternoon he will test the skill and speed of Charles Chambers, of Brook lyn.
 The King-Kashio match was one of the most exciting played in this vii cinity in some time. The former re- peatedly stormed the net with over head and back hand drives and in the second set outplayed and out-gener- alled his foreign rival. Kings method of attack worried Kashio and at times the Jap played entirely on the de- fensive.
 But all the while his speed and energy were vanishing, and when the final set began the Jap was the fresher. In this set Kashio managed to keep King from coming up to the net, and from the base line the win ner was superior to the Westchester representative. Kashios ability tc place his drives along the side lines brought him victory.
 The other Jap, Ichiya Kumagae, did not compete in the singles yester- day. He played one match in the doubles section of the tournament with Kashio as his partner The pair defeated George King and E. F Thomas, Jr., in a straight-set match by the score of 6-4, 6-2.
