during the season. but she played in only
"A few tournaments and did not meet any
particularly strong players She gained
all Of her victories out on tho Pacific
coast. in the Coronado Beach, Pasadena,
Ojdi valley aud Southern California
tournaments. Just how this record over
shadows that of Miss Wagner is hard to
see.
Miss Wagner won the all corners in the
womcn's national championship and was
beaten IN the challenge round Ivy Miss

when Miss Wagner was not playing up
to her usual game. As against these
