Bull and Gardner. Reach FINAL
Round in Tournament at
Englewood.

Misc Marie Wagner, former indoor
channion and Miss Elizabeth Fl. Moore,
several times holder of the national title,
met defeat in the lawn tennis tournament
en- the CLAW courts of the Ens1ewood Field
Club at Englewood, n. j., yesterday. MISS
Elizabeth c. Bunce, former Hudson River
CHAMPION. defeated Miss Wagner at S-6,
60 Sc.
Miss Bunce found the weakness of her
opponent on her ground strokes after los
ing the opening set, and thereafter made
her drives low and with considerable pace
Nevertheless Miss Wagner, by dashing work
at the net, led in the third set at love-
and it appeared to be all ever. Miss Bunce,
however, varied her game with consummete
skill at this dangerous period. and worked
sc cleverly as to run five straight games.
Miss Wagner got the vantage on service
but could not hold the lead against the
splendid attack of her opponent, and lost
at SIS.
The defeat cf Miss Moore was also of the
three-set order. She lost to Mrs George
H. Chapman, who has held the New Jersey
and other titles, by the score OF S-o, o-a,
e. The first set was necessary for Mrs
Chapman to find the range of the court
Once she had her bearings she ripped
EHSSeS and 'CTOSS-COurt
former national champions territory in
way that completely bafied her. Miss
Moore lobbed and changed direction, only
to have Mrs. Chapman meet each turn by
renewal of the attack that in the end
proved overwhelming.
In the progress of the mems singles for
the cup held by Karl H. Behr, the inter
nationalist, the former Crescent Athletic
Carleton r. Gardner the Californian,
earned their places in the semi-f1nal round.
Bull. In coming through. defeated George
NJ. Church, the Princeton interscholastic
champion, at S-4, 81. Bull worked his
plays I'D to the net without hazardins too
much in his territory. He was so good at
protecting his court that Church seldom
had a chance to pass, and so the two sets
went against him, although he demonstrat-
ed his ability for so young a player.
Gardner defeated the former indoor ma
tionaI champion Wylie c. Grant in the
easiest sort of fashion at love, 6-3 Grant
was slow and Gardner placed ali around
him.
