WOMEN STARS PLAY
IN MIDDLE STATES
Mrs. Marshall Mclean and Mrs.
Edward Raymond Successful
in Tennis Tourney.

With a field of notable tennis per
formers, the women's division in the
Middle States championship tennis
tournament was inaugurated on the
turf courts of the Orange Lawn Ten
tbs Club at Montrose yesterday aft
ernoon. Three title events are now
under way, namely, the mems singles,
which have reached the semi-finals;
the mems doubles and the women's
| singles.
Mrs. Marshall Mclean, former ma
tional champion and present New Jer-
| sey State title holder, and Mrs. Ed
ward Raymond, the Metropolitan
champion, were the most prominent
of those of the fair division who
were successful in their early rounds.
Mrs. Mclean met Mrs. David c.
Mills, of the Montelair A. c., and
so strenuous were the matches that
the latter was forced to retire from
| exhaustion. Mrs. Raymond covered
herself with glory by eliminating
Mrs. Charles N. Beard, a former
| holder of the Middle States title and
| Western championship honors. 1t was
a most interesting clash from the
| start, and it was only after three
sets that Mrs. Raymond finally sue
ceeded in winning.
