In Tennis Play
At West Side
The Metropolitan Patriotic
Tournament Offers Several
Classy Matches To-day
by FRED HAWTHORNE

Eight women were left in the metro
polltan patriotic lawn tennis singles
late yesterday afternoon and nine pairs
survived in the women's doubles out of
the twenty pairs that began play in the
morning on the clay courts OF the
West Side Tennis Club, at Forest Hills,
Long Island
Almost without exception the favor
ties came through the ordeal. and the
matches in both divisions to-day should
be of the stirring variety. In the sim
giles the winners were:
Miss Jane Rowson. Mrs. c. V.
Hitchins. Miss Helene Pollak. Miss
Eleanor Goss, Miss Helen Bernhard,
Miss Marion Hollns. Mrs. Theodore
Cassebcer and Miss Molla Bjurstedt,
present metropolitan champion.
Miss Rowson will meet Mrs. Htchins
at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon; Miss
Pollak and Miss Goss clash at 1890
o'clock a. m in the upper half, and in
the lower Miss Bernhard will take on
Miss Hollins at $3.50 p. M, while Mrs.
Cassebeer will test the speed and skill
Of Miss Bjurstedt at 1920 o'clock in
the morning.
The tournament marked the first APP
pearance of new combination in the
doubles on these courts, in the persons
Of Mrs. Lewis Gouverneur Morris and
Mrs. Lorllard Spencer, jr.. who tri-
umphed in their first match against
Mrs. HUFF and Miss VI. Noes by a score
OF %. Is. Miss IIollins, paired with
Mrs. Arthur Scott Burden. another new
conner here, was defeated by Mrs. Raw
son l.. Wood and Mrs. Barnes, at 6-3.
Ct.
Mrs. Jack Anderson and Miss Edith
Howe, finalists in the national indoor
doubles last winter, played brilliantly
IN overcoming Mrs. lingo Hartman and
Mrs. W. II. Noss, at g, g. and are
figured as one Of the strongest teams
IN the tourney. although placed on the
same side of the draw with Miss Blur
stedt and Miss Marie Wagner.
One of the best matches of the day,
IN the singles, was that in which Miss
Goss opposed Miss Margaret Taylor.
In the early stages of the two sets that
this match went Miss Taylor. by splen-
did deep court driving and clever plac-
ing. ran into big lead on games. But
each time Miss GOss. playing all her
shots with plenty of pace and making
for the net when she saw the openings,
volleyed her way TO victory. Her
strength was a bit too much for Miss
Taylor, who does not seem to have
quite struck her regular game.
