In the lower half of the draw A. ].
Silverman OF Commercial High School
ana Cecil Donaldson came through TO
the semi-final round. Silverman had a
hard fight on his hands to defeat NJ.
Bernstein OF De witt Clinton High
School In straight sets at SIS, "a.
Donaldson. on the other hand. did not
experience much difficulty in registering
victory over Jerry Lang of Morris
High School at 6-2, 6-2.
Donaldson, incidentally. had not lost
game up to the time that he met
Lang, and judging from the way that he
was playing he might still have kept his
record Of games lost clean IL he had
stretched himself. The young Brooklyn
lite played along without any extra ex-
ertion and showed a brand OF tennis
which made the gallery feel that he
would be there or thereabout when the
final round Is decided tomorrow after
noon.
Brackoted With silverman.
Donaldson by his victory Is bracketed
in the semi-fnal round with Silver
man. Silverman, as mentioned before,
had plenty OF trouble dlsposing of NJ.
Bernstein in the fourth round. Silver
man, however, showed some tennis in
defeating his fourth round opponent that
stamps him as a conner even should he
not be a factor in this tourney. Nor
Is this saying that he will not be a fac
tor in the metropolitan championship, for
II he plays anything like he played yes
terday he will make young Donaldson
hustle for every point that the latter
gets.
There seems to he no reason In the
world why Frank Anderson should not
repeat He was at the top of his game
yesterday from start to finish, and even
In the few intervals when he laid back
and loafed little he showed that he
had stun enough to carry him through
to another championship. His match
against lie Gros did not bring out An
dersons best form. He had the victory
cinched almost from the start. and iosd
the match as n sort Of practice AFFAIR to
tune up his strokes.
Against Algase Anderson experienced
a little trouble in the first set. This
was not due so much to brilliant play
on the part Of the Morris High School
boy as to the fact that Anderson erred
frequently in trying to keep his drives
low. In the second set. however. An
derson found his distance and thereafter
Algase was busy watching how his rival
did II.
