ter met Captain Low, who owed If
teen, and the man won three sets
with ease. The score was 60, 6-1,
SO. and at no time did the lady
champion have a chance.
There were not many people at
the courts when the matches were
played. and slight shower OF rain
may have kept some would-be spec
good order. and all the good strokes
made by the players were applauded.

The match more or less retolvet
itself into, long-range duel--tha
Is, the first two sets--and most o
the strokes were back-hand ones II

seem that unless she develops
really hard forearm drive. and vol

much chance against May Sutton o
