Mrs. Charles y. heard. former Jersey
State title holder. Mrs. Beard forced her
way into tho last round by vanaushing
Mrs. Frederick Schmitz after a hard fight
by two sets TO one.
In the doubles the enthusiasts-and
there was "A large crowd Of them on hand
were treated to "A couple of surprises.
The first OF these WAS the defeat of the
title holders, Miss Wagner and Mrs. T.
Cassebeer. by Mrs. Marshall Mclean. New
Jersey champion. and Mrs. Schmitz In
straight sets, "a. @. The other was
the victory OF Miss Elizabeth c. Bunce
and Mrs. Willard sullivan over Mrs. Beard
and Miss Bessie Moore. regarded by many
as one OF the strongest teams In the tour
ney. Both Of these reversals were
squeezed into the third round. Miss Cas-
sell and Mrs s. J.. Weaver moved out
to the final round in the doubles, defeat
ing Mrs. Percy Wilbourne and Miss II.
NJ. Knapp, 6-3. G-1.
The matches In the championship sim
giles were played late In the day and the
light was very poor. For this reason
many OF the points were scored as "a result
OF good eyeslght rather than good tennis
In the Wagner-Cassell match the title
holder showed all sorts OF speed and ac-
curacy in the first set and had her rival
cha sing the ball from one aide OF the court
10 the other. II was not long before Miss
IT,. s..tsl
Portable lead and she scored easy VIC
tory. e.. In the next set Miss Cassell
worked harder and played much better.
With the games to in her favor. she
made great squirt and had the tenth
game at +0-l5, needing only one ace TO
win the set. Miss Wagner. however. by
great forehand driving pulled the set out
OF the fire.
Mrs Boards victory over Mrs Schmitz
was due for the most part TO the formers
great steadiness. All through the opening
set. which tho former Jersey champion
lost, 9--1l. she paved the way for "A later
victory by firing her opponent. In the
second set Mrs. Schlntz made a valiant
fight and WAS beaten only Ct, but she
had little strength left for the third and
lost It, 6-3.
The defeat Of the champions in the dou-
bles was the result OF their lack of team
work. Miss Wagner played at her best
throughout but she did not get much as
sistance from her partner, who dispfny ed
nothing like the ability she showed last
year. The summaries:
