without exerting himself. Miss Vodden
and Miss Myer won the ladies' event
and scored their third and final win
of the Olds cups.
The fact that every match In the
ladies' tournament went the three full
sets shows how close the competition
was and also how well the handicaps
were adjusted. OF the five teams en-
tered three were tied with two wins
each. One of these, Miss Weed and
Miss Van Vliet, was put out in the pre-
liminary round after desperate strug-
gle. The victors were Miss Beyfuss
and Miss Greenberg. The latter re-

to annex the cup for good, qualified for
the finals by beating Miss Crocker and
Miss Gully in one of the most stubborn
ly contested matches seen at the park In
some time. The winners allowed owe

it seemed they would defeat their op-
ponents handily. Miss Crocker and
Miss Gully surprised both their oppo-
nents and the spectators by winning
the second set without the loss of
game. The third set was a nip and
tuck affair and finally went to Miss
Wegener and Mrs. Watson by a score
of 81.
The final match was up to the stand

scratch team started well, taking the
first set easily. Miss Vodden and Miss

set. Each side was within a set f-the
permanent possession of the handsome

spurred the contestants on to do their
best. Miss Vodden and Miss Myer
nosed out their opponents in the third
and final set. which they won by
score of Us.

ponents as to rob the event of con-
siderable interest. In the finals Nc
