CONTINUES TO-DAY

Excellent progress. was made IN the
Delaware State lawn tennis cham
nlonship for women at the Wilmington
Country Club yesterday, the prelimi-
~narv round and the most of the
matches in the first round being de-
rided. The majority Of the entries
were either local or from Philadel-
phia. and there is a strong probapil-
ity that the championship in both sim
uies and doubles will be won by phil
adelphians.
TInfortunately, the tournament
clashed with the invitation event OF
the Crescent Athletic Club In New
York otherwise many of those VINO
competed. including Miss Mola Bur

week. would have entered.
Few of the matches yesterday we're
what might be termed exciting, as ali
of them were decided in straight sets.

Cricket Club is a pronounced taVor-
ite for the final, and today she deteat-
ed Miss Clara r. Chase of Merton. The
latter gave her opponent plenty OF
work in each set, winning four games
in the first and three in the second.
Miss Dorothy Disston and Miss Agnes
Kennedy we're well matched, but Miss
Disston eventually won by two sets
Al to none.
