MISS WAGNER WINS
TWO MATCHES EASILY
BaSSfOrd Reaches Fifth Round
by Beating Hartman-Re"
verSal in Doubles.
BY FRED HAWTHORNE.

The clay courts of the New Rochelle
Tennis Club. at Quaker Ridge, were "a
dream of fair women" yesterday, for
it was ladies' day in the annual open
lawn tennis tournament, and the tair
sex held sway most Of the afternoon
Miss Marie Wagner, the national in
door champion, being the most pron'-
ncnt and winning both her matches
without being pressed.
In the mems singles Abraham Bass
ford, jr., went into the fifth round by
defeating lingo Hartmann in a slashing
back-court game ut 6-2, 10, Ct,
and ]. II. Steinkampf wore down Leon
Crawley's opposition by his hard
smashing of lobs, winning at Is, 60
&c. ". S. Andrews, the English
player. went into the semi-hnal round
by taking h. ]. Fixman into camp ut
l-6, 6-3, IS. 1t took Andrews a
set to warm up, but thereafter he held
the upper hand and played strongly
both at the net and from deep court.
The match that carried the largest
gallery of the day saw Miss e. Gottheil,
opposed by Mrs. E. S. HUMPHREYS, and
il was not until the sets had gone TO
A-6, 6-3, 12--10 that Miss Gottheil
was able to score a well-earned victory.
Both women fairly Outdid themselves
in hard and fast driving. The games
went TO deuce many times in the last
set. but Miss Gottheil always came
through strongly at the critical mo-
ments and showed remarkable endur-
ancc.
Miss Wagner first took on Miss
Dorothy Fitzgerald and smothered her
opponent by her powerful forehand
drives, the ball striking inches from
the lines. Miss Wagner took this
match at 6-1, 6-1, and then defeated
Miss Grace Bastine at GO, GO. al
though the latter made her fight
harder for the points.
In the mems doubles, J. r. Harrison
and c. Card, an untried combination,
scored the most startling reversal OF
the day by defeating DR.. William
Rosenbaum and T. G. Baggs, the veter-
ans, in straight sets, at Cd, 60. The
younger men started with rush, and
never let up in their attack, particu-
larry at the net, and were too fast on
their feet for their opponents.
