forcing shots finally brought about the
first break of the match. Anderson net
ting the ball three times in succession
and yielding his service game. Then In
the twentieth game Voshell finally
placed the set to his credit at 11-a, the
last shot being q service ace that broke
so wide that Anderson had little or no
chance 10 reach the ball.
The loss of the set only aroused the
champion TO greater effort. He began
TO stroke furiously. After taking the
first game on service he came within
a stroke of breaking through In the
second, but Voshell pulled up from
i5--4O and won 1t. Finally in the sixth
game Andersons whirlwind pace and
persistency gave him his first break Of the
match and incidentally the lead at ~.
He made 1t So on his own service and
ended the set two games later in his
favor.
Again in the third set Anderson was
the first to gain the advantage. He
forced voshell to yield service in the
fifth game and the lead of two games
thus obtained was maintained right up
to what was expected to be the final
game. Leading at 81. Anderson opened
the tenth game confidently. Voshell
however, handled service we'll and
lobbing beautifully as Anderson raced
to the net for the customary volley. set
the champion back or his heels and
drew him into smashing into the net.
Another error and a. passing shot and
the game was Vosheil's and the score

An Unfortunate Decision.
1t was anybody's match then after
two hours OF battling. There was an
unfortunate decision in the next game.
With Voshell serving and the score 10

an inch or two beyond the baseline In
the next rally. Voshell did not even at

foolish on his part, and then to his dis

voshell completely and for the moment
he lost his accuracy and contributed
two costly errors that gave Anderson

OF brilliant rallies.
Seated near the sidelines in the latter
half of the match was Mrs. Margot AS

ISOLATION on one side OF her and Hol-
combe Ward. the veteran international
ist on the other. Mrs. Asquith by her
frequent applause showed that she thor
oughly appreciated the brilliant charac-
ter OF play. With the skies overcast all
day the committee was compelled 10
turn on all the electric lights that are
suspended from the armory roof. and
while conditions were far from favor
able the men seemed TO follow the ball
well. The light was dull but not diff
fused.
An idea OF how close the Voshell-An-
derson match was may be had from the
fact that the winner scored only two
points more than his opponent during
the tussle, 1T TO rs. and that in the
deciding set the points were even, 81 to

shells 3d. but his errors were 50 to the
losers 10.
