Although the indoor champion won the
singles In pretty style. she did not play
nearly as we'll as in the earlier rounds
Throughout the match she was more or
less careless about her strokes and seldom
went to the net Her drives had much
more power behind them than those of
Miss Sears. but the Bostonian managed to
keep the ball withtn bounds, and thereby
hangs the tale OF how she managd to force
the match to three sets There were many
deuce games. but with the exception of the
last set there was practically no lengthy
volleying.
Miss Wagner started the tussle by car
rying on the opening game with ease. but
then she took TO smashing the ball out Of
bounds and had trouble to win the set.
The first game OF the second set also went
to Miss Wagner. but she played wretch
eddy and soon fell far behind.

not to be outdone. and she took the next
two in row. and the lead at to 4.

game. which she won. but her form was
only OF the iashy variety. and Miss wag-
ner finished the match by winning the
eleventh and twelfth games easily. the
last one at love.
The women's doubles final was close
from start to finish. and all three OF the
sets went TO deuce. A little edge on all

to Miss Wagner and Miss Moore. for the
losers. Miss wlldey and her sister. Mrs.
Farley. showed the better team work.
The ability OF the losing team to como.
back when It seemed hopelessly out OF
the running was what made the sets go
to extra games and the match to tbs
third set.
