The hyackets in the scmi-final round
of che stngiss in the mems first annual
grass Court metropolitan championships
lawn tennis tournament were filled
yesterday afternoon, after a busy and
stirring assy of play in the courts Of
the Crescent Athletic Club, at Bay
Ridge. There will be no more plav to-
Gay or to- morrow, but the singles will
De completed On Sunday, with the semi
mai matches starting about noon and

Robert NJ, Kinsey, of California. do
feated 6. Howard Voshell, of Brooklyn.
by score. of 6-2, 81, So, in the
fifth. round yesterday, and while the
res'i' must be recorded as in the
, = of an upset, Kinsey gained the
9y by sound tennis tactics and by
superior condition.
Fred c. Anderson, of Brooklyn,
gained the sdjoining semi-final round
bracket and will meet Kinsey in the
upper half match Sunday. Anderson
came through as the result of the de-
fault Of John B. Gilbert, Of the British
Isles Davis Cup team, after the latter
was within o single point of winning
the match, at ID and 800, with
Anderson holding the service.
Gilbert had stated before beginning
the match that he had engaged passage
Tor England on a steamer leaving New
York to-day, and that therefore it
would be impossible for him to PLAY on
sunday, providing he gained the semi
final round. After holding victory in
the hollow Of his hand, therefore, the
Englishman gracefully defaulted to An
1erson and wished him luck in his next
- 4 4
for his act OF sportsmanship as he and
Anderson left the court.
Davis had his work cut out for him
IN defeating Atherton Richards, at
4-6, Cd. Cd, in the bottom bracket.
Richards is a great "getter," with no
decided weakness in any one depart
mens, whereas Davis, brilliant at times,
made frequent errors as he rushed
through the match. 1t was the Cali
5ornian's terrific service in the pinches
that pulled him out of many a tight
place; that and daring volleying. Davis
Will meet Frank T. Anderson on Sun
day In the lower semi-fnal bracket, An
derson having gained his place on
Wednesday,
As long ELS Voshell could gain his
volleying position he held Kinsey off,
but the slender Californian forced his
opponent to cover so much ground that
Voshell was badly winded in the latter
stages and could not handle Kinsey's
clever change of pace.
