There 10 bound to be a new name on

FOR four tournaments, including the one
now in progress
1t was won twioe by Francis T.
Hunter. the former Cornell player. who
needed only one moro leg to gain per-
manent possession OF the prise Hunter
looked to have q fair chance Of carrying
on the cup. but he was beaten on Mon
don by Alex Tier. Bassford by defeat
Ing Anderson yesterday entered the semi
Anal round in the lower half. and Is the
only competitor who has advanced that
far to date.
Prior to meeting Bassford. Anderson
had to earn his place in the fifth round
by defeating Leon Croley. The young
champion had to play hard from start to
hnish before he succeeded in disposing
OF Cruley at Ga. e.. Even in this
match young Anderson gave evidence
Of the fact that his game was not at It's
best He was unusually wild. and as a
result gave away many points on errors
Anderson Starts Well.
Anderson started well against Bass
ford and playing careful. steady tennis
had little trouble in winning the first
set Had he been able to sustain the
kind OF tennis he showed in this set he
probably would still be in the tourna-
ment However. toward the closing
games Of the first set he displayed
signs of waning strength. and return
4 10 erratic play.
An unfortunate feature about the
match. as far as Anderson Is concerned.
was the late hour at which the match
had TO be started. Before the second
set had begun darkness had. been creep
ing up and by the time the match was
| finished It was practically moonlight.
Anderson seemed to be bothered by the
poor light Anderson was very wild
throughout both the second and third
sets and seemed too tired TO get around
| the court with any degree OF real speed.
| The fourth round match between Ell
| lott B!nzen and Alfred D. Hammett
brought out some of the best tennis of
the day. Binzen won the match In
straight sets. but only after a stubborn
| battle, at "a, Sc. Binzen's hard driv-
| ing and severe service brought Hammett
to grief many time, but Hammett's
| steady play and accurate placing Offset
his rivals speed enough to make the
match well balanced contest
! In the doubles, which started yester-
day afternoon, Albert J. Ostendorf and
Francis T. Hunter reached the third
round by winning their matches In the
first and second rounds, easily in straight
sets In the opening round they de-
feated II. w. Robinson and DR.. r. l..
Robinson. at 60. Ga. and followed
this with a victory over Harry Sachs
and Sigmund Spaeth, at 60. 6-2.
