Light refreshments were served dur
ing the afternoon by Mrs. S. G. Wilder
and Mrs. A. NJ. Brown.
The play throughout was excellent,
and the applause which greeted each
Individual exhibition of cleverness, I'M
stinted.
The record of the semi-finals is:
Mrs. J. Waterhouse defeated Miss
Gertrude Scott, 60 81. The winner
worked for points and displayed con-
siderable head work She played a
steady, consistent game and showed a
marked improvement from her previous
exhibitions. She lobbed eieverly occas-
10 ally and her back hand strokes were
forceful and much more effective than
Miss Scott's, who is somewhat weak in
this respect.
mrs. A. M. Brown won from Miss
Bertha Young, Ga, rs. These were ter
rifle games and the feature of the after
noon. Both players played tournament
tennis and delighted the onlookers with
an exhibition of the game that was
worth going a long wa to witness.
-rs. Brown, WAC plays equally we'll at
the net or on the base line, was sorely
! handicapped by a raw blister on her
racket hand, and won the match by
sheer grit Miss Young's service was
on the whole very commendable, par
! ticularly toward the conclusion of the
first set, and evoked mucn applause.
| Her head work was also worthy of more
than passing notice. The record set
ran, 5-5 6-5 at one time and it was a
case of touch and go to the finish. To-
ward the conclusion of the match the
fair spectators could not contain them
selves, and cooed loudly and long until
the end came, Signalling the same by
one prolonged, well developed, hyster-
zeal shrek, which delighted the small
trespasseTs on the club lawn. and near
ly paralyzed with fright one of Payne's
long-sdffering mules which was pass
ing at the time.
This afternoon at 4:30 o'clock is the
time set for the final between Mrs. A.
NJ Brown and Mrs. J. Warehouse, and
the game will be record breaker from
the word go, with the latter lady pos
sessing slightly the better chance of
proving the winner.
During the afternoon light refresh
rents will be served by Mrs. Joseph p
Cooke and Mrs. J. Waterhouco
Visitors are invited to be present.
