MISS KISSEL WILL
PLAY FOR TITLE
Reaches Final Round in New
Jersey Singles Champion
ship for Women.
MISS BURSTEDT WINS

MoNrclAIR. ". j.. Sept. 81. Such
rapid progress was made to-day In the
New Jersey tennis championship for
women that the contestants were able TO
dispose OF several important matches and
bring the different divisions TO a point
where only "A few contests remain to de-
eide the titles. In the singles Miss Ina
kissel reached the Ana rouri by defeat
ing Mrs. c. V. Kitchens. SIS. s--3. This
match took place in the morning and be-
fore a small gallery. bu, IL was a strux-
gle worthy OF more attention. Mrs.
Kitchens put up a hard fight In the FIRST
set. but tired under the strain in the sec
ond and was forced 70 give in.
In the doubles Mrs. W. n. Pouch and
Miss Edith Handy reached the ANAL
round. coming through In surprisingly
easy manner against Miss Dora Gardner
and Mrs. J. q. Dean. the scores being
81. SO. A tendency of the losers TO
drive out Of the court and TO net the baal
cost them dearly. Miss Hardy earned
many points by hard smashing and cross
court placements.
BY these matches In the single. and
doubles IL was possible TO arrange the
schedule 30 that the doubles finals will
be played tomorrow afternoon and the
singles fnals will be held SATURDAY. The
opponents Of Mrs. Pouch and Mss Handy
will be the winner OF the match be-
tween Miss Marie Wagner and Miss
Molla Bjurstedt and Mrs. Robert Morris
