Voshell and Hall
Win Final Round
In Tennis Doubles


S. Howard Voshell and Walter Mer-
rill Hall defeated Frank T. Anderson
and Willard Botsford, by score of
81, Cd, 60, 60, in the final
round of the doubles, in the annual
invitation lawn tennis tournament on
the clay courts of the Atlantic Yacht
Club at Sea Gate, L. l., yesterday after
noon. In the semi-fnal round, played
in the morning, Frank Anderson and
Botsford had defeated Fred c. Ander-
son, Franks brother, and Ben Letson
the New Jersey doubles champions, by
score OF 6-2, S-10. Cd.
1t is probable that the morning
match, with It's total of thirty-s six
games, played under torrid conditions,
had robbed Anderson and Botsford of
little of their speed and staying
power, for after the first two sets
against Voshell and Hall, the
youngsters "blew up" dismally and
dropped twelve games in row for the
match.
1t was match filled with hard
hitting. Voshell and Anderson did
most of the volleying and smashing,
with Botsford and Hall doing a ma
jority of the work from back court.

Taking the last three games of the
first set, Alexander and Ince kept up
their winning attack in the second,
working into a lead that they never
relinquished and taking the match at
6-3, 6-3.
Fischer and McWhorter always held
the advantage in the match against
Roberts and Mandell, cutting off most
of the opposing pairs returns by
aggressive tactics at Tx, net. Fischer
was tower of strength at the barrier
and he simply could not be lobbed out
Of position.
At the finish of the match Umpire
Cattle declared he had never in all his
