Voshell Has Easy
Time in Defeating
Kashio on Courts

S. Howard Voshell swept along in
his best form in decisively defeating
Seiichro Kashio', the clever Jap player,
in fifth round match Of the singles
tournament at the Terrace Club of
Flatbush yesterday. Voshell never was
in better stroke, and although Kashio
also played well he was outclassed by
his opponent. The score was 6-2, 6-2.
Voshell counted off his points in
rapid order, although long rallies kept
the spectators on edge. In the early
games of the first set Voshell rushed
up to the net to cut off many of
Kashio's shots, which the latter sent
over with power and accuracy. Kashio
made the most of his 'cross-court shot,
but he did not show the all around
steadiness of Voshell, who counted his
aces rapidly in the second set.
lingo F. Hartmann had bigger job
on his hands than he expected in
eliminating Herbert E. Westfall in a
third round match. Westfall surprised
the gallery by capturing the first set
and gaining a lead in the second
through the consistent use of his
smashing shots. At this point Hart
mann braceG and by rushing to the net
managed to block his opponents drives
and tie the score. The third set was a
sizzler throughout, with Hartmann the
stronger and steadier in volleying, and
this helped him to pull out a victory.
Max Bernstein won the Brooklyn
boys championship by defeating
Thomas Van Kuyck rather handily by

the present national champions, win
ming in the semi-fna1 round in a keen
ly contested struggle with Mrs.
Spencer Fullerton Weaver and Miss
Bjurstedt, the sets going at 6-3, Is,
Cd.
The Morse girl played far better
tennis in the doubles than she did in
the singles, and Mrs. Weaver drew
rounds of applause from very large
gallery by her spectacular "kills" at
the net. Yet the young champions had
such an abundance of speed and such
an aggressive and smooth working net
attack that they always held the ad-
vantage.
New York Girl in Final
Miss Katharine Gardner. Of the
West Side Tennis Club, went into the
final round of the girls championship
tournament by taking the measure of
Miss Martha Bayard, of Short Hills,
N. j., at Cd, 6-3. The other semi
final between Miss Elizabeth Warren,
of Virginia, and Miss Adelaide Hooker.
of New York, had to be postponed be-
cause of badly sprained ankle re-
ceived late yesterday afternoon by
Miss Hooker 1t is probable the latter
player will have to default tomorrow.
After following Miss Bjurstedt's
play closely all week. l cannot escape
the conviction that new champion
will be crowned Saturday. 1t needed
the match with Miss Wagner to-day
to bring out all the champions weak
nesses as they exist at present, and
they are many and glaring.
The thing that impressed me most
about the Morse girls work was her
utter lack Of stamina. Gone was the
wonderful ability to set a killing pace
from start to finish. 1t was the cham
pion who Jagged between games, who
sought relief by drinking copiously of
ice water between sets and who actu-
ally sought support by leaning upon
her racquet after lengthy rallies from
deep court.
She who has always conquered by
speed may we'll fall victim to it to-
morrow, when she clashes with Miss
zinderstein. Playing as they were to-
day, the young and brilliant Boston
girl should win in straight sets from
the champion. Only a miracle can
save the Morse girl her championship
this week

Miss Durack Again
To Visit u. IS. for
Swimming Tour

Australia's two most famous women
SWIMMERS, Miss Fannie Durack and
Miss Nina Wylie. are due in this .coun-
try shortly, according to A. S. Gold
smith, of Seattle, former president Of
the Pacific Northwestern Amateur Ath-
letic Union.
He has received cable stating that
the champion pair sailed recently from
Sydney, N. S. W.. bound for California,
and will make tour of the United
States, starting on the Coast, then
working through the Middle West and
the East.
The arrival of the Misses Durack
and Wylie is awaited with keen inter-
est, for there is considerable specula-
tion over their amateur standing.
When both paid Us a visit last sum-
mer the Australian authorities re-
fused to sanction the trip, and the ex-
n.ermaids were unable to do any rae
ing after landing here
Furthermore. their general attitude
toward the California officials aroused
considerable feeling, and they will
have to comply very strictly with all
requirements in order to be allowed to
compete this time.
Miss Durack stands out as the great
est all-round woman swimmer ever
developed. She holds nearly all the
worlds free style records, and al
though we have some girls thought
able to defeat her in sprinting. her
performances from 440 yards to one
mile stamp her an international leader
at these distances.

Purchase Sets
Mile Record in
The Handicap
Hildreth's Colt, LOTUS Up,
W alks Off With the
Stuyvesant at Jamaica
By w. J. Macbeth

Sam Hildreth's fine chestnut three
year-oid colt, Purchase, just had to set
track record for the mile at Jamaica
yesterday afternoon when he galloped
home the easiest sort of winner in the
$4,000 Stuyvesant Handicap. It was
the first time the distance had been
contested at Jamaica. Purchase, in an
exercise gallop under Johnny LOTUS.
set the mile mark Temporarily at
least) at 1888 As.
Now that it is all over with it seems
pity there wasn't something in the
race to make Purchase extend himself
bit. The odds-on favorite never once
had to run q lick Many expected that
). w. McClelland's over-rated Eternal
the biggest three year-old disappoint-
ment of the season-might give the
Hildreth colt something to think about.
But Eternal was outcassed
Ophelia, which finished third, being
added for some such idea, and Blair
gowrie, the other two three-year- Ids
to contest the issue, never had a look
in for anything but the BOBBY prize.
Pulls Up to Canter
LOTUS laid in behind the early pace
Of the lightweighted Ophelia for a
time, but it was seen his mount was
under triple wraps all up the back
stretch Near the far turn Eternal
moved up to challenge Purchase. For
less than furlong LOTUS tried out the
McClelland colt and walked away from
him when he pleased. Purchase was
only galloping through the stretch and
was pulled to a canter through the
final sixteenth.
Wonder what our stewards now
think of Jockey Lyke, who with Pur-
chase was beaten four times at Sara
toga by selling platers before the
Brighton Stable decided to cut him
loose. With Sam Hildreth Purchase
has raced like a real thoroughbred
In the opinion Of racegoers he is the
only three-year-old that has a ghost
of chance against Commander Ross's
Sir Barton. A match race between the
pair would pack any track.
AS to Eternal, unless his meander-
ings all over the country this winter
and spring have killed most Of the
horse in him, he always has been over
rated. Of late he has been running
like an ordinary colt.

Surprise will be expressed when l
say that, as they were playing to-day,
Miss Wagner should have won in
straight sets, and that in spite Of the
fact she got only two games in the
first session.
Never has Miss Bjurstedt appeared
so totally off her game as in that stage
of the match. She had neither speed
Of stroke nor Of foot and even ac-
curacy was missing yet. With fame
beckoning to her, Miss Wagner was
unable to take advantage of her oppor-
tunity.
1t was not question of the national
champion winning the opening set, but
rather of Miss Wagner losing it. She
made more errors than Miss Bjurstedt,
when all she had to do was to play the
ball safe and let the champion beat
herself.
Passes Up Fine Chance
1t may be that Miss Wagner did not
realize just how badly off the great
Morse girl was and for that reason
hesitated to take the aggressive. In
her great chance go feeting, for in
the last set, when Miss Bjurstedt was
nearly call out" with the games at
4-all the champion steeled herself for
the supreme test and played the last
two games on nerve alone--that and
an undying courage.
Those two games brought out the
Z best tennis Of the match on the part
of the titleholder, and for a few min
utes she raced about the court, volley-
ing and driving, with something of the
same brilliance that have kept her at
the top for the last four years. She
p now in the semi-final round.
While interest in this match over
shadoyed everything else at the tour
nament to-day, the other matches in
the fourth round of the singles de-
veloped far more stirring tennis. Miss
Marion Zinderstein, of Boston, who will
meet Miss Bjurstedt tomorrow morn
ing for the final bracket in the lower
half of the draw, was the most dazzling
performer of the day. She simply
swept Miss Clare Cassel off the court
by unmatchable speed, winning in
straight sets al 6-1, 6-1, and this
against a game that had won Miss Cas-
sci many triumphs this season.
Mrs. Wightmar Advances
Mrs. George W. Wightman, of Bos-
ton, three times holder of the title
she now seeks again, gained her semi
final bracket with scarcely an effort,
defeating Miss Anne Townsend, of
Merton, at Go, 6-1. The former
Hazel Hotchkiss gave another inspir-
ing exhibition of lawn tennis genius,
the strength and variety of her strokes
and the perfection of court technique
completely overwhelming Miss Town
send.
Philadelphais last chance of taking
the title depends upon Mrs. Gilbert
Harvey, of the Country Club who won
brilliantly this morning from Miss Les
lie Bancroft, of Boston, at 6-2, 4-S,
Cd. But the chances of the fair
Quaker surviving to-morrow's test are
of the slightest, for Mrs. Wightman
will be her opponent Mrs. Harvey
said to-day that she will be quite hap
py if she makes good showing against
the former champion.

Hammer Leads
Big Golf Field
BY One Stroke
Staten Island Champion Has
Card of IS at Fox
Hills; Walker Second

After lapse of three years the tour
nament phase was revived at Fox Hills
yesterday, when more than one hun
dred golfers teed up for the qualifying
round Of the invitation meeting.
AS is nearly always the case over
that circuit, A. F. Hammer showed the
way, leading the field with a card of
75, one stroke better than A. L. Walker,
jr., the Richmond County lad, who
reached the final round of the metro
politan championship tournament at
Brooklawn short time ago.
This pair played together. but their
cards were totally dissimilar. The
Staten Island champion reached the
turn in 40, to 38 for Walker. By the
time the fifth tee. was reached both had
taken 18 strokes, but at that hole, 1877
yards long, Hammer, after topping his
drive, took S, whereas Walker reached
the green with his iron and ran down
the putt for 2.
Walker Leads Early
Walker was strokes better than
his partner after the sixth had been
played. There the collegian was on
the green in two shots, and got "bird'
4, whereas Hammer took 5. The last
named redeemed matters somewhat by
making the seventh in to for
Walker.
Going to the 340-yard tenth, Hammer
laid his second shot to within yard
of the pin, while Walker was fifteen
feet away. The Richmond County
golfe- rose to the occasion by holing
his ball, but Hammer missed the short
one, taking 4.
Hammer got ahead Of Walker for the
first time at the 159-yard sixteenth,
wnere the younger players tee shot
landed in the trap and he took s, to 8
for the Baltusrol golfer. To the seven
teenth Walkers second shot was just
off the edge of the green, whereas
Hammer was twenty-five feet away.
The collegian Clipped in with a mashie
shot for 8, and Hammer, not to be
outdone, ran down his putt The cards
