With Willis E. Davis on one side OF
sse nes and Robert Kinsey on the
ssssr California will have it all to
;ssslf in the final of the metropolitan
-~ass court championship at the Cres-
ant Athletic Club tomorrow. The
pssise Coast stars reached the title
rsand yesterday as the result of
rrsns T Andersen, the national in
assr Champion, Cd, 6--3, 81, while
g:ssey s disposed of Franks brother
ssedesick c. Anderson, by almost the
.ssnticsi score. "a, 6--2, 81.
IN each semi-fnsl superior control
and better Judgment in choice of
ssrnkss were the winning factors. Che
aggressive net play Of the Anderson
beSs gave the Californians plenty OF
.roubie on occasions. but as rule the
Brocklyn youths, after forcing their
apenings and gaining the advantageous
position, threw away their chances
driving beyond the base line.
Il was spirited tennis in both
matches with the Californians in
command of the situation ut all times.
The abundance of short range volley-
inT contributed the spectacular ele-
ments.
Anderson Takes Lead
There was only one period in his
match with Kinsey when Fred Ander-
son threatened at all seriously. That
was late in the third set when by
splendid blocking at the net and some
5srirc cross-court shots he went into
Lad Of S to 8. Kinsey, winning his
own service, made it 5 to 4, but III
the next game Anderson was three
times within point of the set.
The Californian, however, steadied
remarkably in the pinch. made some
brilliant recoveries of apparently un-
taxable shots and pulled the game cut
Of tire fire.
They kept winning on service up to
the sixteenth game, when Anderson
contributed to his defeat with two
smashes into the net on strokes he
should have KILLED" Kinsey's change
oi pace had Anderson timing his shots
poorly.
Frank Anderson was never close to
taking his third set with Willis E.
Davis, although he forced the score to
81. The Californian always held the
vantage game. In the first two sets
Davis did not attempt to force the net
as persistently as his opponent. but he
gagged his distance we'll and either
passed Anderson as he rushed to the
forward court or sent the ball to his
feet, where the Brooklyn youth found
it difficult to make an accurate return.
Improvement Comes Late
Frank practically beat himself on
voeys into the net, and it was not
until late in the match that his con-
troll improved.
There was no questioning the supe-
riority of Davis's skill He had the
match in hand from the start. but it
was not Wntil the third set, when
Anderson pressed him hard. that he
brought Ais best speed into play. His
sizzling service and crisp volleying in
the final division of the match checked
had Of prolonging the match.
The doubles furnished an upset in
tie defeat of S. Howard Voshell and
Frank T. Anderson at the hands of
Gerald Emerson and Harold Taylor,
after three hard sets. The score was
al. GO. 12-1G.
Emerson was the most conspicuous
Tlayes Of the four. He had most of the
cpportun nities on his side, and he
handled nearly all Of them we'll. fash
lhs better tennis than he was thought
capable Of Eis stroking waa decisive
fnd few shots that came his way nc
.hc net escaped being detected fer
earned points.
Frank Continues Erratic
On the other side of the net Frank
Anderson was just as erratic as in
singles. He took too many chances
and contributed many errors.
At the EXPENSE of tho Australian
Davis Cup team. of J. o. Anderson and
Clarence v. Todd, the Pacific Coast
champions. Robert and Howard Kinsey,
reached the final round in doubles. The
americans. showing superior team play
and far better control, led in these
straight sets, IS. 6-1, 7-5. 1t was
a spectacular ma atch, made so by the
abundance of net play on both sides,
and by the length of the rallies.
The Australians played a fast. hard
hltting game Anderson, in particular,
did scme superb volleying. But they left
100 many openings for their opponents,
who took full advantage of them. When
