FOR TENNIS
SUPREMACY
Misses Van VIiet and
norner Contest
StubbornIy.

Miss Ethel Horner of the Beretania
Tennis Club, and for four years tennis
champion of the gentler sex in the Ha-
waiian Islands, is having the fight of
her career in maintaining the title
against Miss Van Vliet of Camp Nc
Kinley- In the finals of the invitation
tournament being played on the Bere-
tania courts, Miss Van Vliet yesterday
defeated Miss Horner in two straight
sets, and when the game was called in
the third set owing to darkness the
score stood three to two in Miss Van
Vliet's favor.
Yesterdays match was one of the
best tennis enthusiasts have yet wit
messed on local courts. Miss Horner
maintained her reputation for steady,
consistent playing, her old-time skill
showing to advantage in marvellous
backhanding and volleying.
But opposed to her was a bundle of
years of age, is small and why and
covered her side of the court in al
most perfect manner. For general ac-
tivity, Miss Van Vliet has hardly an
equal in the two tennis clubs She
showed remarka BILE headwork, especial
ly in directing the placing of the ball
in her opponents court Only one thing
is lacking in her play and that is
oIp ms work She n
tents herself with back and middle
court-line work, depending on straight
returns and long rallies to tire out her
opponent.
One feature of Miss Van Vliet's play
ing was to keep up a long round of
rallies forcing the ball into Miss Horn
ers left court, causing the latter to
return the ball by backhand strokes,
although Miss Horner is perfectly at
home in this style of play. Then as the
rallies came faster, Miss Van Vliet
would suddenly lob the ball straight
and swift just clearing the NET INTO
Miss Horners right court and close

single back hand stroke, depending,
under such conditions, on using both
hands to the racket. Contrary to ex-
pectations. this rather cumbersome
method proved almost as certain as her
free right hand strokes.
The first set went to 80 in Miss van
VIiet's favor before Miss Horner scored.
Then Miss Van Viiet took the set, 81.
The second set was more stubbornly
contested, the games keeping fairly
even up to the fourth game, when Miss
Van Vliet took the remainder The
third set showed that Miss Horner was
rallying and playing at her old-time
winning gait, but when darkness came
on the army girl was in the lead. The
match calls for three out of five sets.
The attendance was the largest the
club has ever had. 1t was largely
gathering of society folk Even the
streets were lined with carriages.
The match will be finished today at
o'clock.
