sweep of the courts.
Mixed Doubles Real Thriller
For sheer brilliance, speed and spec
tscular features, the mixed doubles
match far outshone the singles.
Against Miss Vanderhoef, Miss Blur
stedt never succeeded in attaining
ANYTHING like her real stride and her
attitude on the court during the entire
match was one of apathy.
In the doubles play, on the contrary,
the national champion came to LIE m
a remarkable manner and reeIed OH
shots from all over the court that
brought waves of applause from the
1000 persons in the stands. Playing
stroke for stroke with Tilden, probably
the greatest mixed doubles player IN
the country, Miss Bjurstedt held her
own in the dazzling rallies at rhe net.
A dozen times at least she set the
crowd wild with enthusiasm by ending
one of these long rallies with wonder
ful passing shots past the tall Illden 5
racquet.
Tilden was under a great handicap,
for Miss Ballin was distinctly off her
game as the result of recent illness,
this forcing her partner TO cover prac-
tically every foot Of their court. In the
set Tilden's work was wonderful to be-
hold. His service was deadly thing,
and many times he scored service aces
on Wright, whereas Miss Bjurstedt
electrified the gallery by the easy man

of these cannonading shots.
Wright was erratic, showing brill
iantly on volleying shots for short
stretches, only to lapse into playing of
the most mediocre kind. As a matter
Of fact, the match resolved itself into
trial of strength between Miss Blur
stedt and Tilden. and although the for
mer had infinitely better support full
credit must be given to her for bring
ing home the victory.
Miss Vanderhoef Starts Well
In the singles match Miss Bjurstedt
started the service. a strong sun shin
ing in her eyes. The first point Of the
match went TO Miss Vanderhoef when
the champion made double fault.
Miss Vanderhoef dropped the next
two games, won the fourth and worked
into a lead of 5-3 by steady, crafty
playing. The eighth game went to
deuce four times before Miss Wander
hoef marked il up to her credit. The
ninth was Miss Bjurstedt's, as she
rallied for brief space and scored on
three burning drives down the side
lines and an error by her opponent
The tenth and last game of the set saw
vain attempt on the part of the Nor.
wegian TO bring the games even.
The spectators applauded wildly a,
they saw the champion being cleanly
outplayed and outguessed by the young
girl. When the title holder drove
weakly into the net for the final point
and the first set was Miss Vanderhoef's
at Ga, those in the stands rose and
paid the young girl tribute. But there
was still feeling that the girl from
Norway would flash with her custo
mary brilliance and irresistible attacl
in the next two sets. This she faileC
10 do, even though she did take th'
GO.
Appears TO Lose Confidence
Miss Vanderhoef appeared suddenl,

but never did she approach her dazzling
