FORM HOLDS TRUE
IN TITULAR TENNIS
Seven of Eight Survivors Are
Seeded Players-F. L. Hun
ter Looms Strong.
BY SAMUEL J. BRooKMAN.

The point has been reached in the
mems national indoor tennis champion
ship where seeded player must meet
seeded player. and the event should be
doubly intresting from now on. OF the
eight men who advanced ON the Sew
enth Regiment Armory courts yester-
day to the round before the semi-final
seven are aspirants who, because they
rated higher than the rest, were seeded
into different sections of the draw.
They are Frank Il. Anderson. title
holder Herbert l.. Bowman. S. Howard
Voshell and George King. in the order
named. in the first half, and G. Carleton
Shafer. Francis T. Hunter and Percy l..
Kynaston in the lower. The eighth sur
vivor is Clarence E. Unterberg.
They will take the courts to-day in
matches that should furnish the best
tennis thus far In the tournament. An
derson is bracketed with Bowman,
voshell with King. Shafer with INTER-
berg and Hunter with Kynaston. and
the opinion seems to be fairly unani-
nous that it will be Anderson and
voshell in one semi-final and Shafer
and Hunter in the other. Any other
result will mean an upset.
In the main the contenders advanced
with comparative ease yesterday just as
they have done since the tournament
opened last Saturday. Anderson, al
though far from his best. disposed of
the veteran, Samuel r. McAllister, by
score of 6-3. 6-2; voshell eliminated
Jerry Lang with the loss OF only three
games, Shafer dropped only two to ].

margins.
There was one seeded player, however.
who had a mighty narrow escape from
defeat. He was Percy l.. Kynaston, the
Nassau and Queens title holder who
was carried to score of rs. 3-s. 6-i.
by Morris $. Clark OF the Seventh Rcei-
ment. Ii was fortunate for Kynaston
,hat ms opponent at critical stage OF
the first set obliged with two errors thai
meant the difference between victory
and defeat Clark. leading 5-4 and
40-l5 in the first set, was twice within
point of the set. Each time q long
lraily followed. during which Clark
'lobbed high to drive Kynaston awav
from the net. but bit too far and out
OF court. That brought the score to
deuce and Kynaston rallying splendidly
eventually TOOK the game and the next
TWO as well for the set at 7-5.
As the second set went TO Clark a,
o-5, the chances are that had the vet
eran come through with the one neces.
sary stroke in the tenth game OF the
frst division of play victory would have
been his In straight sets. AS II was tho
deciding set remained in doubt rrar,i.
caiiy UP to the final point. Kynaston
~ another sDurt managed TO run into
lead Of 3 games to 1. but Clark called
on all his tennis craft at that stage
took all sorts Of chances in sharp angling
ana in aiming for the side lines and
drew up even at ALL There his rally
was checked, however. and Kynaston
took the set at Ga.
