Il Eve, yesterday afternoon by defeati
Il and Ludlow, former New Jersey cl
4 7--5, in the final round of the tourr
h Before they could win the final
h aenors and the twin cups that went
\ with the victory Shimizu and Voshell
had to play Il total of eighty-four
emes in four matches yesterday, for
4 tAey started play in the third round in
tie morning and after a halt for
ishcheon returned to the clay courts
AID finished off their stint by playing
three more matches.
ln the final round match Voshell
showed signs of the unusual physical
strain he had gone through, and for
Srief periods his stroking was erratic,
Is. ior instance. in the last set against
,ae Van Deventer brothers, when he
and little Shimizu held the lead at
"a and 40-15 on Voshell's service,
one point from victory. Following in
behind his severe service for the "kill'
Of the opposing pairs weak, defensive
ieb voshell cut the angle too sharply
and smashed the ball into the net.
With another chance of ending mat
/ +ers on the next point Voshell, over
snxious and bit weary, served a
double dault, and then, after the points
had reached deuce" twice, the Van
Deventers pulled out the game by two
Ing and made the score sail, squaring
the match.
Shimizu Comes Through
But Voshell and Shimizu, temporarily
turned back by these two errors, re-
samed to the attack with added deter
nination and won the last two games,
Yoshell doing his part in the final
periods of play as he cut off returns
with sharp overland volleys, and two
or three resounding smashes of short
Jobs. Shimizu, who had been the steady
ing influence all the way through the
match, kept up his fine work and won
the final point of the day by smashing
low lob squarely between the Van
Deventer brothers for placement ace
William A. Campbell, of the West
Side Tennis Club, and also chairman
Of the tournament committee at the
Westchester Biltmore Country Club,
kept the schedule humming all day
long, and he had to, in order to bring
the contenders through the final round
before darkness settled over the courts
As his right hand man" he swore into
service his young daughter, Miss Vir-
ginia Campbell, who kept the score
board up to date, assigned the players
4 to the courts, and answered the thou
sand-and-one inevitable questions in
eidental to the secretarial position.
4 One of the surprises of the tourna-
4 ment came in the defeat of the Ander-
4 son brothers, Fred and Frank, by the
i VsnDeventer brothers, by a score Of
6-2 2-6, 6-4, in the fourth round.
\ The two teams were evenly matched
H throughout the first two sets and half
/ way through the third, but then Frank
\ anderson developed a streak of wild
hitting that enabled the former New
Jersey doubles champions to forge into
The ,ead
The rallies in this match were keen
y fought and sharply played, with all
four men taking a hand in the ex-
shanges- Frank Anderson's service was
tztremey severe and under good con-
trol until the closing stages, and this
helped the losers materially in holding
their oponents even until Frank weak
eled. After the match is was learned
that the younger Anderson was suffer
Ing from severe headache all through
the final set, this accounting for his
lapse in form.

BY defeating Henry Fl. Bassford and
Herbert L. Bowman at Ga, So, and

The Van Deventer brothers, after de-
leatlng the Andersons, won their semi

n the plnches, however, and both took
'Ag net at every possible opportunity.

and fought most tenaciously from then
