MRS. STEWART WINS TOURNEY
Takes the Finals from Miss Hortense
Clarke Friday Morning.
CHAMPIONSHIP ON SATURDAY
Other Final Matches Are Postponed
Until Monday Because of the Ex-
treme Heat on the Field
Club Courts.

Outplaying her opponent at every point
OF the game, Mrs Dick Stewart won the
1911 city tennis tournament of Omaha Fri
day morning by defeating Miss Hortense
Clarke, 6-3 GIL. Mrs. Stewards was an
easy victory, her game completely sur
passing that of Miss Clarke.
A high wind blew all morning at the
Field club making 1t impossible to play
the best tennis possible, and the shots of
both players were wild Mrs Stewart
plays in much speedier form and hits the
ball harder than Miss Clarke, but never
theless she managed to keep the ball as
well within the bounds as her opponent,
and really won the match because Of the
wonderful speed of her game.
A good crowd of both men and women
enthusiasts were present to witness the
match, giving noisy applause at each good
point scored by one of the players.
Mrs. Stewards victory in the champion
ship singles tourney of this year gives her
the right to compete against Miss Carme-
lta Chase the holder of the championship
this year, for the title. Miss Chase and
Mrs Stewart have chosen the hour of 8
o'clock Saturday afternoon to play the
championship round. There will undoubt-
eddy be the biggest crowd ever present at
women's tournament in Omaha present,
as the interest in the relative merits Of the
two players is a matter of wide discussion.
Mrs. stewart starts Well.
Mrs. Stewart started her .natcn OF Friday
morning by taking decided lead on Miss
Clarke. Her strong serve seemed impos-
sible to solve and her smashing Lawford
on return balls easily completed her points.
The second set came even easier than the
first.
The wind OF Friday morning put a stop
10 the greater number OF matches planned
for then. Miss Susan Holdrese and Miss
hortense Clarke defeated Miss Isabel Vim
aonhaler and Miss Creighton. "a, 81, in the
only other match Of the morning that was
played to the limit. Miss Holdrege and
Mss Clarke are considered one of the
strong teams OF the doubles tourney and
may 80 clear through to the finals without
meeting anyone who can best them. Mrs.
Stewart and Mrs Kountze are playing to-
gether in the doubles and are considered as
The probable winners.

Miss Charlotte Bedwell and Miss Lucille
