VOSHELL ADVANCES
IN TENNIS TOURNEY
Champion Has Easy Time
Beating Observation-Disclosures
to Play Two Matches.

Only four matches were played yes
terday In the mems national indoor
lawn tennis championship tournament on
the board courts Of the Seventh Regi-
ment Armory. but what was lacking
In ouan'Hy Was made up In quality. for
the playing was above the average and
surprises as to the results were not
wanting.
The best and most keenly contested
match OF the day saw Frank T. Ander-
son, the Brooklyn schoolboy. Long Island
and North Side champion. score vice
tory over Harry s. Parker the tried tour
nament player of the Rockaway Hunting
Club. by a score OF 6--1. Ills, 60.
Parker found that all hIs experience and
all his variety OF volleylns shots ut the
ret were not sufficient to carry him
through successfully against the light
ming speed OF young Anderson. He made
q most determined bid In the second set.
which he won after twenty-four Gruei-
ling games. but the effort cost him all
chances Of ultimate victory. .
Beginning the third set Anderson
raised the speed Of his own game sew
eral notches and Parker was not able
TO hold the fast pace. The Brooklyn
youth was exceptionally quick to fol-
low In behind his service and his VOL
leying was crisp and accurate. Ander-
son can impart such sharp angles to his
volleying shots that Il Is almost inpos-
sible to return the bail on many occa-
sions. He had Parker noundertng all
over the court In the third set as he
shot the bail into every unprotected SPOT
In his opponents court. Anderson will
meet George S. GroesbecS this morning
and seems almost certain to reach the
semi-f1nal brackets.
voshelI Easy Victor.
Lieut. 8. Howard voshell. playing
through champion. reached the third
round by vanqulshing Cory NJ. Amer
man at 6--2. SO. in q match that gave
him Just the amount OF practice no
reeds to tune him up for to-dsy's test.
when he will be called upon to face
Gerald Emerson, the South Orange
schoolboy star, in the morning, and
then, II he is successful there meet
either william r. Tilden, I'd. national
clay court title holder. or Leonard Beck
man OF Bronxville in the afternoon.
Voshell 10 still shy OF wind and IL
carrying too much excess flesh to be NJ
his best. and his usual powerful voliey-
ing is weakened to considerable ex-
tent by lack OF control. Even so. he was
able to handle Amerman with ease, To-
day may tell different story. particu-
larly should Tiden be Voshell's oppon-
ent.
Emerson sprang one OF the surprises
OF the tournament by his straight set
win over Edmund II. Hendrickson OF
Amherst. The latter used to be the ma
tional Junior hampton and 4, was fig
ured that he could take young Elmer
sons measure without great trouble. But
the South Orange youth lie playing a
stronger and steadier game this season
than ever before, as was shown on Sat-
urday. when he defeated Or. William
Resenbaurn in the first round. Always
hard hitter. either off the GROUND or
on the volley. Emerson has lately &C.
CURED far better control. Hendriekson
could not meet the continual forcing
tactics OF his opponent with any degree
OF success and the New Jersey youth Ia
liable to give Voshel plenty OF WORRY
when they meet this morning.
Lieut.. Bail Beats Loughmap.
Lieut.. Peter Bail OF Yale University

York Athletic Club by a score Of 6-4.

The Voshell-Emerson match might
have been played yesterday had It not
been for the champions objections A
Castle Postley, the referee, asked
Voshe,l to play Emerson after the title
holder had finished with Amerman, but
Voshell insisted he would only play one
match. When Postley persisted Voshen
