Mrs. Wightman was forced at top speed
In her match with Mrs Marshall Mclean,
the Pennsylvania state champion.

with advantage going each way three
times before Mrs Wightman won. The
critical fourth game also went TO deuce,
Mrs. Wightman winning and making the
score TWO all. S0e tlen pulled through
with the set and match.
Both players placed their returns with

playing was hish-class in every respect,
but Mrs. Wightman's overhead strokes
and net playing were chief factors In her
victory. Her service too. was excellent,
although occasionally she grew careless,
