AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIPS. New York, Sept. 13. Anderson defeated Robert Kinsey, 6 —3, 6—3, 3—6, 6—l. In the first set Anderson’s low, swift drives were more effective than the Californian’s celebrated chop strokes. In th© second set Anderson outplayed Kinsey both at the net and base-line, making good use of changing pace, hitting hard ,and using more varied tactics. Kinsey improved in both speed and control in the third set, upsetting Anderson’s service once in love game, and again, with Anderson at thirty. The Californian managed to sustain his effort, winning the set handily. Anderson, however, staged an effective reply in the fourth set, baffling his opponent with his power and accuracy.—(A. and N.Z.) (Received 14, 1.35 p.m.) New York, Sept. 13. Patterson defeated Francis T. Hunter B—6, 6—l, 7—2. Hunter, who defeated Patterson at the Seabright tournament, made a tremendous effort in the first set.
