Pan Zareta Still Speed,
Indoor Champion
Loses at Tennis
To Mrs. Hitchins

Mrs. Charles Vernon Hitchins, recent
winner of the Middle States tourna-
ment, worked a reversal by defeating
Miss Marie Wagner, the national indoor
champion, in the special one day COM
petition on the courts of the University
Lawn Tennis Club. at Harlem River
and Fordham Road, yesterday. The
score of the final match was 0-6, 6-l,
6-3. The series of singles was con-
ducted by Miss Margaret Grove, the
former Southern champion.
In the second round of the tourna-
ment Mrs. Hitchins made the best OF
her chop stroke playing. She did not
come up TO the net for her accustomed
close rallies. Instead, from mid court
she continually returned the ball low
and with battling little bounds. to the
dismay of her opponents. She defeated
Miss Grove, despite the spirited play
ing of the latter, by the score of 6-l,
Ga Then in the semi-hnal round
Mrs. Hitchins defeated her rival, Miss
Grace Gilleaudeau, at "a. "a.
Miss Wagner in her division of the
draw outdrove Miss Peck in the sec
end round. The score was 6-3, Go.
Then Miss Wagner Unexpectedly en-
countered a stubborn opponent, as
Miss Helen Gilleaudeau. the Barnard
champion, so steadily exchanged drives
. L. 49, ,arsth tcG
Wagner as to force the contest TO three
sets. The national champion finally
won by excellent placing at As, 10,
6-l.
Among the interesting competitions
of the series was the defeat Of Miss
Corona VIM by Mrs. Huff at Ga,
"a in the first round, and the ap-
pearance of Miss Binzen, the sister OF
the national junior champion. Miss
Binzen yielded her place TO Miss Helen
Gilleaudeau at 81, 6-l.
