derson and Harold L. Taylor, into
Tomorrow afternoon the singles
contcnders for Ichica Kumagac's title
will go into the semi-iinals and the
doubles viii also be brought into these
brackets. Frederick G. Anderson, the
veteran ranking player of ten years
ago, and his two sons. Fred. jr., nine
teen years old and Frank. the sixteen
year-oid Long Island North Side and
junior Metropolitan champion. all had
90 fight their hardest to emerge tri-
umphantly through the day of play.
The two Freds are liable to encounter
even sitter opposition tomorrow after
noon, for Fred, IL, will have to take
the measure Of Seichiro Kashio, OF ia
pan, and his father Will have to brush
Harold l.. Taylor, former Junior Metro
politan champion, from his path before
they occupy the semi-fnal brackets.
Frank Will have an easier time, OF
should have, for R. L. James is the
player whom he will have to vanquish
before gaining his semi-flnal bracket
in the opposite half of the draw. Ward
Dawson, the specactacular player from
the Pacific Coast, is in the same half
with Frank Anderson. and will proba-
bly, meet the latter in the semi-final.
Dawson Seriously Regarded
Dawson, who is an enlisted man in
the Pelham Bay Naval Training Station,
was going at great clip to-day against
little Cecil Donaldson, winning by q
score of G-l, tt He will be called
upon to face T. c. Fulton, OF Seattle.

ously, judging from his hard smashing
game to-day.
Mr.. Torrey received telegram to-
day from the banking firm that en-

poets to arrive in Utica some time Sat
urday afternoon, and will be ready to
defend his championship in the chal-
lenge round on Saturday as soon as he
hops off the transcontinental train.
The playing to-day indicated that it
is within the range of possibilities that
the match for the state title may be
fought out between two of the sub
jects of the Mikado, for Seichiro
Kashio, fnallist in the recent Middle
the third round without great diff
Guilty, defeating Gerald B. Emerson, of
East Orange, at 6-1, 6-3. Tomorrow
he will meet Fred Anderson, jr., for a
place on the semi-fnals.
Kashio is dangerous opponent for
any player who is not strictly on his
game, for he is a model of steadiness
and accuracy, and it takes a strong
player at the net to cut the Jap's line
cutting drives. Emerson belongs to the
net rushing, smashing school, but these
tactics did not fare we'll against Kashio,
who had his softly played strokes un-
der uncanny control. When the New
Jersey schoolboy tried to finish off the
points by storming the net the little
Oriental edited the ball past him by
driving beautifully down the sides of
the court or by lobbing skilfully over
Emerson's head.
Anxious Moments for Andersons
There were many anxious moments
for the Anderson family before Frank
won his match against Paul Gibbons,
of Philadelphia, by score Of 1t
81, 6--l. Tie youthful champion
proved his mettie, however, by VIM
ming out after twice being within a
single point of defeat After taking
the first set with ease, Gibbons ran
into lead of 81 on games in the
second set before Anderson made a
stand and brought the games to 4-all
Gibbons was playing his head off in
the early stages, hammering away con-
sistently at his opponents backhand

Gibbons had his youthful adversary SC
worried that Frank lost all control OF

Twice in the eleventh game Gibbons
only needed one point to bring hin,
victory, but he failed to follow up his
return to the net for what must have
been a certain kill, and having come
through this fire Anderson gathered
himself together and finally won the
second set at 81, bringing the match
all square
At the last set he simply waded
through to victory, regaining control
of his spots and finishing off the points
with his customary snap. Gibbons
who had played himself out in the first
two sets, could only win one game in
the hnal set in a neighb boring court.
Fred Anderson the younger was hav-
ing his own troubles against Henry
O'Boyle, the Pelham Bay sailor, eventu-
ally taking the match at 2-6. Cd

gauge the range of the court with anv
success. many of his volley drives and
smashes landing out Of court, while
O'Boyle was playing like a machine.
In the last two sets, however, Andersen
charged the net furiously and smoth-
cred O'Boyle's shots by splendid
vollcys.
