Brooklyn Youth Beats Robert
kinsey--Rain Halls Play.

CHICAGO. Sept. 24.-The Fasteners
evened matters with the Western tennis
contingent IN the second days play OF
the East-West championship series to-
day when Frank IT, Anderson OF New
York defeated Robert kinsey or San
Francisco in n five set match on
slippery court by the score OF 6--3, 81.
SO, 1--6, Sc.
Rain fell almost continuously during
the three hours ( play and the players
were almost exhausted when the long
contest came to an end.
Both players were forced 20 DO care

Anderson excelled in net play and won
the first set through his ability to make
his placements near the line, and with
the court in poor condition. quick re-
coveries on the part OF K1nsey were
impossible.
The second set was more closely con-
tested when Kinsey began to place hts
lobs out or reach and managed TO deuce
the set three times before Anderson an

cause or any weakness in the play OF
her opponent. Having seen tho for
mer match at St. Cloud, I can bear
witness 10 the fact that Suzanne Leng-
len, unfortunately not well. was new
ertheless playing a better game in
going down to defeat than when she
won from Marvellous Molla" in
France.
The unexpectedness OF this over
throw, the great heights to which
Molla arose in this short match and
her subsequent winning of the title
stamped her as the greatest figure
the game this year simply because the
overthrow of a reigning champion by
one presumably out OF the running
has always been. and probably always
viii be. the most spectacular affair
any sport season. Molla now reigns
supreme. No one car dispute her po-
sition as the greatest, earnest and best
woman player OF the world.
The Davis Cup ties did much to in
crease interest In tennis over the
country as they gave the public in
many points an opportunity of wit
Messing some very fine play. This,
coupled with the International flavor
these matches gave to the season, did
much to spread the gospel OF the game
to many parts Of the country.
Building for the Future.
We produced some fine new talent.
Vincent Richards came through in re-
markable style. His defeat of me at
Providence and his great match
against Johnston in the singles proved
beyond all doubt that in year or two
we win have another player capable
of entering the lists with the best the
world may produce. And that Is tho
pleasing part Of the entire season. We
seem to be digging trenches that no
invading Davis cup team may cross
without superb struggle.
The intention of the japanese team
to return in search of the Davis cup
team this next season struck a popu-
lar cord No entering team in the
lists this year quite pleased the tennis
gallery as did Kumagae and himidzu.
And no team showed such fine form.
Japan is coming along rapidly on the
courts, and look for them to be even
greater power within a few years.
1t is always a rare treat to meet one
OF them in o match. In fact. YOU are
assured OF battle as their games are
decidedly gamey and consistent.
