ny SAMUEL J. BRooKMAN.

fifth round or the metropolitan cnaln-
pionship at the Crescent Athletic CLUB
yesterday when he seemed headed for
a sensational victory over Zenzo
Shimizu. For one thrilling set and the
greater part of the second the Cali
fornian's tennis flashed brilliantly as
he baffled the Japanese with a both
ersome chop stroke and actually out
guessed and outsteadied him.
Victory appeared within his grasp
when he overwhelmed the Nipponese
6--1 in the opening set and it looked
like a great day for California. for on
an adjacent court Roberts brother How
ard was just then putting on the finish
ing touches to a splendid triumph over
Watson NJ. Washburn, Davis cup star
and fifth in national rank.
But the second upset failed to ma
terialize. Crafty veteran that he Is,
Shirnizu was clever enough TO discover
in the first set that he could make little
headway against Kinsey's forehand chop
which kept the ball skidding and scarcely
bounding at all So Zenzo shifted his
attack to Kinsey's backhand and things
began to come his way. Not so swiftly
at first. but slowly and surely. for
Kinseyss backhand chop was not nearly
as effective as the forehand stroke and
Shimizu found he could time his strokes
better and send his drives through with
greater speed and accuracy
Peppers Kinsey's Backhand.
Having found the way of rendering
Kinsey's effectiveness less effective.
Shimizu peppered Kinsey's -backhand at
every opportunity, pounded the ball into
the corners with his customary amazing
control and had Kinsey running all
over the court Kinsey fought hard and
made some brilliant gets, but he found
IL Impossible to come to the net as he
had done in the first set following the
Japanese's weak returns of his chop.
The swift pace tired the Californian, and
after taking a lead of 3D. in the second
set he dropped four of the next five
games and the set at Cd.
In the third set Kinsey seemed con-
tent to stay in back court. His early
speed was waning fast. and he was
not getting up 10 the ball as he had
done in the opening set. He took the
first two games OF the final division OF
play in q last brilliant effort and ther
suddenly developed a cranp In his legs
that compelled him to stop on two occa.
sions to have his muscles massaged il
was apparent in the third and fourth
games. both Of which Shimizu took a
love. that Kinsey's chances of victory
were mighty slim. yet he fought or
gamely to the end and was only two
points away from five--all. The Jap
anese. however, seemed to have TIL,
match we'll in hand throughout the set
The defeat cost Robert Kinsey tn,
title he won a year ago. but brothe
Howard remains as one of four survivor
and Howard, judging from his grea
victory over Watson Washburn yester
day will make 1t interesting for the rest
Howard played sound aggressive tenni
ir eliminating the Davis cup player. Lik
Robert he employed chop with good eff
feet, but unlike Robert he did not tir
late in the match. AS matter of fact
he grew stronger and fairly breeze,
through the second set by the astonish
ing score of Glove.
Washburn Proves Erratic.
The frt set went to the sixteenth
game before Kinsey ciinched it, Wash
burn was erratic in his driving chief,
because the ball bounded poorly Off tn
Californian's chop. At the net he vol
leyed well when the ball sailed acros
rather high. When he had to volle,
upward, however. he netted too fire
quently for comfort. Kinsey man
euvered we'll, often chopping the bal
right at Washburn's feet, where 1t wa
difficult for the latter to recover It.
The deep court rallies were exception
ally long and both men had to cover
lot Of ground. The pace seemed (

opportunity late in the set to clinch II
