AUSTRALIAN- AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION. CHICAGO, Apg. !). In the match between Anderson and Kuluidn, the former scored rapidly in the first set, and Eukttda’s speedy play was what the Australian wanted, and ho drove through his opponent with remarkable ease, being an old hand at hard play. In the second set, Anderson’s accuracy fell off, and too many shots wore out or were hit into the net. Both showed great pace, Anderson occasionally coming forward, but Eukuda, because of his short reach, did not dare to do so. The Easterner steadied down, and while keeping up his speed, played more accurately than tho Australian. In the third set of tho Aiiderson-Eukuda match, the game rapidly became a battle, both men fighting bitterly. Anderson broke through the Japanese player’s service, winning the second game easily. Anderson continued his winning pace on his own service, and lie won the fourth game by sheer brilliancy of play. In the sixth, Eukuda quickly came back, but onlv for one game, Anderson’s errors contributing to the Japanese man’s win. In the fourth set, Anderson showed his complete superiority over the Japanese. He calmly won the first three games, and served a drop cut serve, which is adopted l»v players for amusement, showing that he did not consider Fukttda formidable.
