PITTSBURG GIRL STAR OF
METROPOLITAN TOURNEY
Miss Martha Guthrie Sweeps Misses Strauss and Row
son to Crushing Defeat on Opening Day of Tennis
Championship-Nobody Extends Miss Bjurstedt.

The metropolitan district had It's hrst
taste OF championship tennis yesterday
when the women's metropolitan cham
.pionship singles were started at the
West side Tennis Club courts at Forest
Hills. L. I. The threatening weather
did not keep away tho contestants. nor
did It deter a large crowd Of enthusiasts
from going down to the courts to see
how the fair racket wielders would per-
form In the FIRST really big event Of the
season.
The one bright sta In tse opening
days play was Miss Martha Guthrie. a
little Pi,tsburg miss. Miss Guthrie drew
Il bye into the upper half Of the second
round and then proceeded TO win her sec
ond and third round matches in straight
sets. The Pittsburg girls irst opponent
was Miss s. j. Strauss. Miss Guthrie ran
through the match with the almost ease
and with a remarkable display OF skill at
60, Go. Shortly after disposing OF
Miss Strauss Miss Guthrie lined up
against Miss Jane Rowson. n New Jersey
player, and won with the loss OF 'nly
three games at 81. 6-2.
Miss Guthrie Is picked generally as the
likely hnalist in the upper half, not only
because OF her brilliant play yesterday
but also because. in her hrst big. tourna-
ment, the national championship on grass
at Philadelphia last year. she played the
| champion, Miss Molla Bjurstedt, three
| hard sets and was beaten only by q
streak OF wild play brought on through
| ~overanxiety to win. Miss Guthrie
| showed excellent generalship and used
a banning chop stroke with perfect juds-
ment
Miss B1urstedt Not ExtsnAsA.
Miss Bjurstedt. the present champion
went through her two matches WITH
ridiculous ease. Her first opponent. Mis-
Elsa Kahn. won only two games. one
In each of two sets. Miss Helene Pol

from Miss n. Gardiner IN straight Low
sets. was iss RjurS, edits second oppo
