Miss Guthrie and Miss
Snyder Defeated at
Women's Tennis

Palm Beach. Fla. March although
neither Mrs. Rawson L. Wood nor Miss
Margaret H. Taylor, of New York. were
able 10 defeat Miss Martha Guthrie, OF

the championship Of Florida, paired
this afternoon, they had the satisfac-
ton Of defeating Miss Guthrie and
Miss Mary Snyder. also Of Pittsburgh,
for the Florida women's doubles
championship. 6-4, s, 81, but only
after one Of thc harQcst struggles ever
seen on rhe local courts.
Miss Snyder and Miss Guthrie were
slow in getting under way. and though
they fought for the first set II cvcntu-
ally fell 10 tho New Workers. in six
tcen-p point final game, 6-i. The sec
ond SGT was a spectacular and interest
ing tic-up. Mrs. Wood and Miss Taylor
took the FIRST game after playing
eighteen points and the second after
ten points. They soon had lead Of
Il in games and 80 love in points.
Then the two Pittsburghcrs rallied and
by brilliant tennis took the sixth, sew
enth. eighth and ninth games. the last
one after a twenty-four-point battle,
and by the same forceful attack carried
this set So.
But the tremendous effort all went 10
uaueht. for il cost them the match.
Tho New York pair evidently in bet
ter condition. came back strong in the
third SGT. winning il in six consecu-
tive games by the best teamwork Of
tho afternoon, after Miss Guthrie and
Miss Snyder had taken the first game,
a siNtccn-point affair.
Mrs. Wood was the star Of the match,
her service netting her seven games out
Of eight and her back court game be-
ing particularly strong, due to hard
driving to the base line and corners.

Caldwell is as brown as a berry and
