politan lawn tennis championship tourna-
ment for women began yesterday on the
courts of the West Side Tennis Club un-
der unfavoroble conditions.
The courts after two days of heavy rain
were still bit soft, there was a chilly
tang In the atmosphere and a strong,
puffy breeze prevailed all day. often
sweeping many well played returns out
side the lines.
The weather. however, did not appear
to chill the ardor Of the contestants, who
held the courts from 9 o'clock in the
morning until dark.
Post-entries brought the original NUM-
Der of forty players up 10 ffty-seven,
five more than the best previous entry,
while III doubles the total of twenty seven
pairs nearly doubled the tournament
record.
Mrs. Marshall Mclean. one-time ma
tiOnal champion. advanced closer to the
title round than any of the other con-
tenders. Playing i'm the same form that
gave her the New Jersey title a few
weeks ago, Mrs. Mclean won three
straight matches without the loss OF a
set, defeating in turn Miss Bessie Holden,
Mrs. f. Nj. Barnes and Miss Helen Bern
heimcr.
Only the first of her opponents really
forced Mrs. Mclean to play at her best.
Miss Holden managed to gain slight
lead IN the early part of each set. but
against Mrs. McLeaus sharp driving tao
tics failed 10 hold IT. The score was
6-3 81
