again contender for the same hon
at the 7th Regiment Armory yesterds
I. Anderson, of Brooklyn, by score
OF the mems twenty-first annual char
1t was only by bringing into plays
his greatest speed and skill that
Voshell was able to hold off the deter
mined bid Of the schoolboy in the final
set. Anderson had been trailing at
% on games, and the end seemed
close at hand, but ,le suddenly curbed
his wild stroking and began to win his
points by volleying and smashing of
the most brilliant quality. The eighth,
after "deuce" had been called by Allen
Behr, the umpire, the ninth game being
taken in the face of Voshel's terrific
service and after the latter had twice
been within a single point of victory.
A particularly enthusiastic gallery,
which had witnessed Anderson's SPLEEN
did battle against odds, believed then
that the schoolboy was about to score
a sensational triumph. But it was not
to be. Voshell steadying himself in
the face of danger, won the last two
games with the loss of only two points,
gaining a majority of his points by
beautiful volleying, extremely Savere
and we'll placed service and powerful
and deadly smashing.
In these last two games Voshell
proved again that he is one of those
players who can rise to an emergency.
Anderson's bid for the lead was a gem
uine threat, and he was playing most
aggressivel!, yet Voshell, when the
call came, had little extra speed, a
couple of hitherto unexpected point
winning shots and a reserve BIT Of
strategy that combined to conquer An
derson. The final point was lost by
Anderson when he Melted simple fore
hand shot as. he came running in to
the net position.
Another Anderson Loses
There were no outstanding features

James D. Ewing triumphed over C. A.

ister and John D. Reyes went through

Of the day there were sixteen men left
in the battle for the singles title, and
these contenders will meet this after
noon for the places in the round be-
fore the semi inal. For the rest of
the week play will start at o'clock
every afternoon, with the doubles prob
Richards's match with Joliffe was not
sufficiently close to bring out the
champions strong points, nor will we
see him extended until he faces either
Voshell or Fred c.. Anderson, Franks
elder brother, tomorrow. The latter
two meet to-day, and Voshell should
win.
Tilden Draws 4Oungster
William T. Tilden Cd, former national
clay court champion and the No. 2 man
on the ranking list, did not get into &C.
ton yesterday, as he had already
reached the fourth round brackets on
Saturday. He will take on young Ben
Letsop, former national boy champion,
at L o'clock this afternoon.
In surveying the noteworthy features
Of yoctarHov'S match hatucno Vocho11
and Anderson cannot help but feel
that the seventeen-year- Frank
stands on the very threshold of still
greater things. For the last year of
play this slender, unassuming, likabie
young fellow has been knocking at the
door of the high ranking men. On more
than one occasion he has barely failed
to win notable victories over First ten"
players.
Last year in the indoor champion
ship he only needed one point to tri-
players this country has produced, and
we all remember Franks terrific strug-
RE with Richards in the indoor junior
competition this winter. Perhaps it is
that there is still tribe too much of
the fire of youth, the ambition to do
too much, that has hindered Anderson
from accomplishing his complete job.
But it is even more certain that the
youthful star will from now on under
GO steady improvement, and l look
to see him holding his own with some
of the top ranking men before the end
Of next summer.
The matches scheduled for to-day
are as follows:
i p. m.-TiIden vs.. Letson, Richards
VS. w. Rowe, Ewing VS.. Shafer.
2 p. m.-Voshell VS.. Fred c. Ander-
son, Hardy vs.. j. B. Fenno, Botsford
vs. S. V. Brubans, and MacAllister VS..
Keyes. Kynaston and Fischer do not
play until tomorrow.
