Viii Meet for Title
Today.
MAN REACHES SEMI-FINAL

MORRISTOWN, Sept. 12.-Miss
Marie Wagner and Mrs. Marshall Nc
Lean, both former holders of the
title, won their places here yesterday
in the final round Of the New Jersey
State lawn tennis championship tour
nament on the courts of the Norris
town Field Club, and will meet in the
first of the championship titles to-
day. Of the two Miss Wagner played
the stronger and more convincingly.
In her semi-final match the national
indoor champion had as her opponent
Miss Theresa R. Kuser, the sprightly
young player from Trenton, who, by
persevering steadiness, managed to
pluck a set from the contest before
she yielded to Miss Wagner at 60,
63, 60.
Mrs. Mclean did not meet with the
same dashing and answering oppo-
sition from Miss Edith NJ. Condit. The
latter was content to maintain a po-
sition from deep court. From there
she placed her drives rather well but
with no great amount of speed. AS
result all Mrs. Mclean had to do
was to force the rallies and win by
the score of 81, 6-2.
Miss Wagner also figured promi-
nently in the women's doubles, as
she came into the championship round
with Miss Clare Cassell as her part
ner. Miss Cassell has learned TO
fairly pound the ball, and she ap-
peared to take keen delight in SO
doing, especially when directing her
returns to Mrs. Mclean. The other
player on the opposite side OF the net
was Miss Edna Wildey, and with Mrs.
Mclean she put up splendid and
stubborn defense. Miss Wagner
alertness in finding the spots to
shoot the ball through and the
smashing play of the pair helped
them to win at rs, Ga.
The other semi-final match was
won by Mrs. William H. Pouch and
Miss Alberta Weber. who defeated
Miss Helen Kahle and Mrs. sehmitz
at "a, 6--S.
