went down to a surprising defeat at
the hands OF Seiichiro Kashio OF last
years Japanese Davis Cup team i'm the
semi-final round of the tournament on
the courts of the Terrace Kings County
Tennis Club yesterday. Instead it will
be up to the older brother. Frederick
G. Anderson. to avenge the defeat Of
the younger member of the family to-
day. Whether he can do so is Doubt
full, for the tennis OF the Nipponese
yesterday was a revelation.
Never before In his five years COM
petition on American tennis courts has
Kashio shown to as good advantage as
he did against the former national In
door champion yesterday. He has al
ways been remarkably steady, but he
has far more than control now. He
has acquired an aggressive back court
attack, he gets far more sting into MS
drive than ever before. and he places
his shots with splendid accuracy ana

fargs gallery that confidently ex-
pected Anderson to win without much
trouble chiefly because OF his tennis
ranking could not believe It's eyes as
the Nipponesa baffled Anderson at every
turn and beat him at 6-3, 1--6. 6-1, 6-1.
Kashio Simply refused to- make any
errors at important stages. and he was
all over the court getting back his op-
ponent's choices. drives and volleys and
turning them into earned points. The
Brooklyn youths service. generally very
difficult to handle, bothered him not at
all. When Anderson remained near the
base line and tried to exchange drive
for drive he found himself outsteadied.
When he ventured to the net to block
the Japanese's shots he found himself
passed by an accurate sideline return
or forced back on his heels by q. per-
fectly placed lob.
After a losing first set Anderson
seemed to have found himself in the
second set. for he stormed the net re-
peatedly. and by sheer daring and
power took the set at 6-1. He appeared.
to have the, Nipponese on the run. but
1t proved to be no such thing. Kashio
apparently was just biding his time. and

down with his furious attack. The
Japanese came back strong in the third
set and outguessed. outmaneuvered and
gin that the latter was unable to win
more than single game.

After the ten minute rest between the
third and fourth sets 1t was expected
that Anderson would come back with
vim and turn the tables again.
but the former national indoor am-
pion not only continued to play un-
steadily but seemed to have lost his
speed under the broiling sun, and
Kashio, tireless and Just as effective
as at the start, ran away with the
fourth set at 6-1.
In the first of the semi-finaIs Fred

limit to defeat Herbert l.. Bowman. the
Harlem tournament winner. in a tussIe
that went the limit of five sets. g..

match Bowman seemed headed for VIC
tory. He was wonderfully steady
the second and third sets
and won them both impressively. His
deep forcing shots carried speed plenty

stroke them accurately. At the net. too.
Fred was having trouble with his VOL

Fortunately for Anderson he steadied
