Spite of Adverse Condi.
tions on Courts.

| Again Il was the women lawn t.,..
players-Miss Hazel Hotcbkiss. the na.,o,.,
' champion. and Miss Florence Sutton
young sister of the invincible May suuo.
| that provided the excitement on the ,,.,
courts OF the Middle States champions
tournament at Mountain Station, N !
yesterday. Apparently the terrific hen,
which seems 10 have Slapped all ot the sr,,
and vigor from the Eastern player,
| lightly regarded by the fair California;,
| Certainly II did not prevent them from -.
ercising in such a violent manner that "a.
| host OF fashionable women who sat slo,,
the side lines simply perspired from she.
sympathy. But Miss Hotchkiss was a. d.
vinclble as OF old, and she defeated M.
| Sutton, 81, e-i. and came Up level VII,
Miss Edith VI. Rotch in the final
! Perhaps II was because she knew m,
strategy as much as athletic proven
would be necessary 10 defeat her oppon.,,
| that caused Miss Hotchkiss 10 supn.,,
the Grecian bandeau OF the previous A,
! by wonderful band Of japanese er.
broidery. Anyway. she played all 0. d.
sly lawn tennis tricks, and her sho.,
through the opposite court were often M.
the artistic stitches in the slIken bans
which circed her head.
There was also a distinct dlfferene. /.
the game as the national champion plav.,
it against Miss Sutton. Her shots vera IA,
lacking in power. Far from IT, But WEI
Miss Huchkiss knew that something mar.
than breWn and muscle. with which sha (,
we'll equipped, were necessary 10 work Il.
defeat OF her adversary. The girl proved
herself a mistress in the art OF decep,v.
direction often she obtained openings !,
Miss Suttor's court by a series OF SHOT,
that appeared almost fanfastical The,
there was a flashing drive and the pC.,,
was won.
From her side OF the NET Miss Suits
played straight, hard lawn tennis. wha
she did not romp bllndly into the trans n
position which Miss Hotchkiss set Tor he,
still she was not always equal to ma;chir,
the skill OF her adversary when she me-
them. Tie match was we'll PLAYED, an
now Miss Hotchkiss stands as the cha.
lenger OF Mrs. Robert Raymond, forme.r
Miss Louise Hammond, the holder o. us
title. Mrs. Raymond has been pract!s!ns
for the match, which will again be meet
ing OF the East and West, as at the "a
tional tournament last month.
In the mems singles Reuben A Holdss
jr., the Yale champion, and Walter Me

OF 4-6, "a. e.; the tally was Is games %
y and So points to SO. Hall raced Mathy
all about his court by his place shots az.
wore him out, defeating the Princeton boy
al 3--6, Sc, Glove. II was the slant1g
slashing shots OF Holden that defeated
Larned. Holden started BY winning two
love games. That caused Larned to b
careful. AS the Yale man touched up his
game Larned pulled out the first set sco,.
ing the set at 81. He was easily distance!
in the others, Holden always holding hin
