MISS RJURSTEDT;
IS SHE WINNER?
Many Consider Her Cham
pion of the World as the
Woman Tennis Player.

Los Angeles. Cal, Nov els Miss
MoIla Bjurstedt now champion woman
tennis player Of the wOrId2 This is
being debated in California tennis cir
cIes as a result of her striking victory
over Mrs. May sutton Bundy- The
weight of opinion gives her this title.
The Norwegian nurse defeated Mrs.
Bundy in straight sets on the aSpnalL
courts Of the California Tennis Club
here. Mrs. Bu1dy had been considered
the greatest '. oman exponent OF the
game. although she has not been very
active in recent years Her greatest
victories came in 1898 and 1906. when
she captured the British championship
along with everything in sight in
America she was the only American
who ever won the English title
Miss Bjurstedt's trip here was
largely the result Of the feeling when
she won all the principal titles last
summer that Mrs Bundy in the field
there might have been q different re-
suit The visitor was at a disadvantage
because she had never played on asphalt.
while Mrs. Bundy's game was deTel-
oped under such conditions
Rivals Play similarly.
Any person who saw these two
women players IN action would be
forcibly impressed with the similarity
of their styles Both Of them have
consistent back court games The
IOrenanu drive or MS Bunny IS made
on the same play as that Of Miss Blur
stedt. although it carries a little more
depth with less speed. This is due to
the sharp top given TO the ball BY the
latter. while the former hits her ball
with the full face Of the racquet.
Both favor their fOrehand, which
results in a comparative weak devel-
Opment on the backhand- To cover up
this vulnerable territory they crowd

permitting but little opportunity for
a placement except in a sharp cross
court TO their backhand-
Mrs. Bundy is Consistent.
Mrs. Bundy owes her long list OF
triumphs to her consistent ply from
the base line, against which the ma
jOrity of women players succumb. She
seldom tried for kills or clean aces
Her policy was to take no undue
chances and. to give her opponent
plenty of opportunity TO miss the ball
by returning everything within reach
The keynote Of her success was that
she could return the ball more often,
with greater speed and accuracy. than
the women pitted against her in the
tournaments. II her opponents had
developed aggressive net games TO
meet this style Of play she would have
had more difficulty in winning cham
piOnshiDs- For although her drives
were effective against a baseliner be-
cause of their depth and accuracy, they
would have been equally ineffective
against a net player, where met

Well. Cyril got a job as pitcher for
the Milwaukee club in the spring Of
this year. Before the documents were
signed that made Cyril a Brewer, he
thought his twirling services were
worth so much per season. The club
owners thought he valued the power OF
his arm about $500 too much, and they
