round of the tourney, at 10, -

was played after the singles and was
moi completed until after 1880. but
large gallery remained and saw II
through.
VosheII I'm Rare Form.
yoshell held the master hand through
out He was right at the top OF his
form and the streaks OF wildness which
frequently spoil his tennis were entirely
missing from the game he played yes
terday. While his steadiness was
great big factor in his victory II was
his extremely severe service that counted
most for him.
The singles match turned out to De
one Of those contests always looked Tor
but seen seldom in tournaments outside
of the national championship. 1t was
siambang affair from start to finish,
with neither man attempting at any
time to play safe. Both Voshell anu
Throckmorton tried persistently to score
their aces clean on placement, as a re-
suit Of which there was not single long
rally throughout the course OF the match.
The only resemblance to rally was on
the very last point OF the match, and
then the ball crossed the net only -FOUR
times before Voshell finished the rally
on a beautiful cross court shot which
left his rival standing fat footed.
Match Is Close.
The play was really great deal
closer than the score would indicate. In
the first set, for instance. although
Throckmorton failed to take a game. he
forced the first five games to deuce be-
fore they were decided. In three of the
games-the first. fourth and ffth-the
New Jersey champion led at 4o-love. only
TO lose the game, and In the second ano
F.. third games he led Voshell In each a,
4o-3o. This goes to show that in five OF
these six games a point in time woulo
have saved Throckmorton. Voshell was
there, however, to keep Throckmortor
from getting the point In time.
nf
+. voshells service is tine fact that the
Jersey title holder failed to break
through until the eighth game of the
third set. This was not due to any
weakening on the part of Voshell, but
to the fact that Throckmorton made
some startling gets and was able to
make them count. Voshell was leading
at "a when Throckmorton broke
through. Encouraged by this feat the
younsster carried off the next two games
and the set.
In the fourth set Throckmortor
dropped the opening game on his own
service, after deuce had been called. but
rallied and took the second game, max
ing some of the most beautiful place
ment shots of the match. This was the
last opportunity that the New Jersey
boy had to shine. for Voshell played
whirlwiud tennis thereafter and took
the next Ave games, which gave him the
set and match, with the loss of only
four points. Voshell made only fire err.
rors in this set, two of them double
faults.
