FINDS 4
CHAMPIONS FAULT
Miss Biurstedt Defeated in Two
Straight Sets in Final at
Rockaway.

CEDARHURST. Long Island, Sept.
6.--Another upheaval In the lawn ten
mis- world was caused here when Miss
Molla Bjurstedt, holder OF three, ma
tional mpionships. the turf court,
clay court. and indoor. was defeated
in the final round Of the Rockaway
Hunting Club invitation tournament
by Mrs. George Wightman, Of Boston.
at 6-1. 6--4. Mrs. wightman in dis
posing OF Miss Bjurstedt, played the
same brand OF fast. brilliazt tennis
which won her the national title in
1909. 1910. and 1911. when she was
Miss Hazel Hotchkiss.
This Is the second straight set de-
feat that the Norwegian girl has SUI
fered since she won the national
championship on turf at Philadelphia,
where she defeated Mrs. Wightman
in the final round. two sets to one.
Mrs. Marshall Mclean. who. as Miss
Helen Homans. was a national cham
Bjurstedt in the final round at Alex
andria Bay.
At the time Mrs Mclean defeated
the champion it was thought that
Miss Bjurstedt could blame her defeat
partly on too much tennis. for she had
been playiIg without a let-up. Even
then, however, 1t was quite evident
that some Of the players were COM
mencing to md Miss Bjurstedts weak
points. That is exactly what Mrs
Wightman did. ana she had q fairly
easy time winning. The match was
played In q drixzle of rain.
