There are fifty-ivc competitors
darwin in the singles, and this number
had been reduced to twenty seven when
II. Dickson Cunningham, referee of the
tournament, called time. Four of these
survivors had reached into the third
round namely, Edgar Z. Appleby, the
amateur billiard player; Frank T. An
derson, the brilliant Brooklyn youth:
william II. Ruxton, Of New York, and
Waiter Gels.
Vincent Richards, champion of 1919:
S, Howard Voshells title holder in 1917
and 1918; Fred G. Anderson and G..
Carlton Shafer, many times a winner Of
the doubles championship, were among
those. who survived the opening days
test with ease.
The gallery showed keen interest in
the work of Voshell. who, only a month
ago. was the victim of serious auto
mobile accident, receiving fracture
Of the skull and two broken ribs,
Voshell Shows Old Speed
There were no visible signs in vo-
shells playing to indicate that he had
nearly lost his life few weeks pre-
viously. His deadly, heavily topped
service was going with great pace and
accuracy, and while bit slow in get
ting into position to volley, the for
mer champion was never in difficulties
in his first round match with M. E.
Cavalli. The sets went at 60, 6--3,
with the left-hander going most of
his point winning from back-court. It
was only when his forcing shots had
ripped wide openings in his opponents
court that Voshell closed in at the
net, either to win with flashing vol
ley or to score "kill". by a terrific
smash. He is liable to improve with
each succeeding match.
Richards won as he pleased from e.
G. Backe, the score being marked up
at 6-1, GO, even though the Ford
ham Prep School star rarely. exerted
himself, taking most of his points by
accuracy of placement from the back
Of the court. He went to the net oc-
casionally to volley or smash. but his

victory.
Shafer took his opening match from
h. ". Knox by score Of 6-3, Go,
covering his court exceedingly we'll and
overcoming his opponents attempt to
score effectually by SURPRISING steadi-
ness.
: Fred C. Anderson, the older of the
famous Brooklyn brothers, won his
hrst round match from Paul S. Nc
Hugh, of Fordham University, by a
score of 6-1, SO, .outplaying his rival
in all departments of the game. An
aerson's tremendous reach enabled him
e smother a majority of McHugh's
shots close to the net, and overhead
he was steady enough to handle lobs
With great effect
Frank Anderson Irresistible
y Frank Anderson was going we'll in
10th his matches, volleying and driv-
ing with a snap that left his opponents
small chance to make real fight of it.
%. H. Merle was the first to succumb
the sets going at 6--1, 6-2,' and in the
second round Ralph E. Roberts was
eliminated at GO, GO. Anderson
appears to have a clear sailing right
into the final bracket in the upper half
Ruxton had bit of fight on his
hands in his frst-round match with
Walcott Warner, winning at 81, 6-3,
but in the second round he vanquished
F. L. MacWatty by a score of 6-l, 6-2,
rushing the net consistently and
making the most of a severe and we'll
placed service.
Arthur S. Cragin, several times the
regimental champion, defeated H. W.
Shaffer after three stiff sets at Cd,
4-6, 6-2, and Samuel Robert MacAl-
lister, team captain Of the regiment,
oreezed through his match against
~ lillian Aydelotte by a score Of 6-1,
back of the court.
The doubles draw will be made to-
morrow evening, and play will proba-
oly begin on Tuesday afternoon. 1t is
possible that William 7. Tilden, I'd,
worlds singles champion, who holds the
indoor doubles title with Richards, may
not be able to compete in this event.
he is laid up at his home in German
!own with a heavy cold. Should he

Voshell.
Dean Mathey Sorely Missed
Dean Mathey, who was expected to
play In this tournament, was forced
% call it off owing to recent accident
n which he broke bone in his shoul-
aer. He will be sorely missed at the
armory, for it was expected that he
would 60 far in his path, to the final
brackets.

lowing days matches will not begin
