ure of surprise to the big gallery
but in each case it seemed that IN.
matches were won on merit, the win
ners being the stronger players fo,
the day, at least.
Edwin Fuller Torrey, chairman q,
the tournament committee. annou,coa
this evening that Kumagae. who bss
been en- route from Seattle, Wash. since
! uesday, had telegraphed that he would
arrive in Utica at 9:2S O'Clock n.
morrow morning. In order to give tha
little champion chance to work on
his train legs" after his long trim
from Japan, Mr. Torrev decided ~

bition matches tomorrow afternoon
got into Utica this morning from Nav
York, and the Yahnundasis Club mem.
i bers at once began to take keener
interest in affairs. It was none otbs,
than Miss Molla Bjurstedt. rational
woman champion. An impromptu re-
ceptlon committee. consisting of ad
mirlng young girls, greeted the great
Morse player or the clubhouse lawn
a
the champion IN dozen different
poses.
Beals Wright to Play
Beals Wright. former national cham.
pilon and Davis cup player, will ar
rive tomorrow morning, and he and
MS brother Irving will team I'D and
play kumagae and kashio in an inter.
national match tomorrow afternoon.
Miss Bjurstedt will probably be the
SHINING star in a mixed doubles event
and may take on one of the men play
ers IN an exhibition singles. The pres
ence OF these stars of the lawn tennis
world Will help materially to boost the
gate receipts, which are to be turned
over. to the training camp activities
fund.
The day broke clear and warm this
! morning. and the largest gallery of ths
week was on hand when the first
matches began. No wind blew to inter.
1ere with the players, and the air was
SO ciear that the foothills of the Adj.
rondacks. miles away. could be dis.
"neViy seen by the spectators.
hashio and young Fred Anderson
were the first to take the courts. and
It did not require more than four o. a.
five games to show that the japanese
was travelling at his smoothest pace,
rarely making mistakes. either o,
stroke or Judgment. and slowly encom-
passing Anderson's lefeat by the soft,
deceptive game of which he is so aha
an exponent
Getting away to an early lead that
ne never afterward relinouished.
kashio placed his main reliance on
accuracy. and his deep drives from
the back Of the court kept hitting
within inches of the side lines. as
Anderson, tearing in after service TO
score on kills" was often caught ou.
OF position by the willy placing Of his
little opponent.
Anderson just lacked the necessary
control overhead that might have given
MN the match. At stimes he looked
lrreslstloie, smashing with great
rower through Kashio's court and
yolleylng at sharp angles for the
finishing points. But he could not
maintain this attack successfully. and
the Japanese. Turing his opponent into
making errors by the deceptive soft
ness of his returns. took the first and
second sets and the match without
great difficulty.
Having witnessed the defeat Of the
son. the gallery moved over to an
other court and watched Fred Ander-
SON. the veteran. pitting his court.
knowledge against the youthful speed
and dash of Harold l.. Taylor, the
brooklyn schoolboy After taking the
flrst set at 6-4, Anderson dropped the
next at 6-8. and then rare battle
started for the decisive set. The vet
eran was tiring fast under the no.
sun, but the skill with which he placed
MS drives and the beautiful angles at
which he volleyed across the court as
Taylor followed in one service swung
the tide for him, and he took the final
set at 6-2, and with it the match.
Andersons Are Beaten
This left two Andersons still in the
. quest for the title, but the afternoon
was fated TO see both father and
Younger son sent down to defeat. II
1eil to Kashio to vanquish his second
anderson in the same day, for the man
from the Orient triumphed over Fred
Anderson, sr., in straight sets.
The star of decade ago had evl,
IDENTIFY robbed himself of much OF hs
strength BY his three set struggle N
the morning, for at no time in the due'
with Kashio did he show the court coV'
ering ability and the finishing snap 70
his strokes that distinguished his worA
against Taylor. Kashio kept the ve''
eran constantly on the run with ma
chine-like drives down the eide lines
and when It came to volleying ffom1
mld-court, the Japanese more than neie
his own.
A severity of stroke, both OF the
ground and overhead, and rare sessions
of volleying on the part o. Dawson;
who had defeated T. c. Fulton, 0!
Seattle, at 3-6. 6-i. 6-3 earlier
