By EUGENE n. o'cONNELL.

Another champion has fallen by the
wayside. Frank Anderson, the speedy
young Brooklyn tennis player who won
the Long island tennis championship last
year. was eliminated yesterday from the
Long Island championship tournament
In the semi-fnal round by 8. Howard
Voshell, metropolitan and Bronx county
champion. vosheh had to travel through
three sets before he disposed OF the
youngster. at SIS. 6-s. 6-1.
Those Andersons, however. are q ter
rible clan to defeat Voshell knows It
we'll. He has met one or another Of
them. father. sons, brothers and uncles,
in many a stirring match over In the
only borough where the B. r. T. subway
can 60 to after II leaves New York, ever
since he stopped swimming and took to
tennis
Must Meet Fred To-day.
And even now that he has disposed
Of Frank. the champion member of the
Anderson tribe, he Is a long way from
being finished with his battle. To-day
he must tackle Fred c. Anderson in the
final round. which will decide the cham
pionship. Fred 10 brother Of Frank,
and incidentally Fred was the runner up
TO his brother in the Long Island cham
pionship tournament last year.
Fred believes that he is better than he
was when he played his brother four sets
for the title last year. Frank believes
the same way. voshell has nothing to
say except that he thought he was fin-
ished with the Andersons when he
stopped reading tho immortal stories OF
Hans Christian some, in fact many, years
back.
The metropolitan champion has lots
OF conflicting emotions to 90 to the
courts with to-day. He will do his best
to beat Fred Anderson and he will do
his best to make Fred Anderson win.
Seems kind Of parsdoxicai, but II is all
very simple. After he finishes. or is nm
ished, by Fred c. Anderson, the son, he
will 20 out in the doubles as tho part
ner of Fred G. Anderson. the father, and
try to beat r b. Gatcomb and K. Daven-
port in the doubles championship.

son family gained their place In the
championship round Of tho doubles by
defeating II. L. westfall and Harry Mol
lenhauer In the semi-hnal round in
straight sets at SIS, 81. Gatcomb
and Davenport moved up by winning
from Henry Bassford and J. Harry

Frank Had q Hard Game.
vosheli had moved into the semi final
round of the singles earlier In the week.
as had Fred Anderson. Frank Anderson
however. had to play hard to defeat
Westfall In the fifth round at 1o-s
IS. before he earned the right to meet
voshell.
Fred Anderson won his match In the
semi-final round from Charles Chambers
at Ga, e.. Chambers having adj
vanced from the fifth round by defeat
ing Harry Mollenhauer at 60. 10-s.
voshell started to play badly in his
match against the young champion. He
was just as erratic as he has been in al
of his matches In the Long Island tour
nament, but after dropping tho FIRST SCI
he braced and played the kind OF tennis
which he had shown in the recent West
chester invitation event and in the Met
ropolitan and Bronx county champion
ship tournaments.
