ruled supreme in :hree vents in 1915
and 1916. Mrs. Coulter continued her
play in 1904, winning the singles and

Mrs Coulter was an easy winner In
every tournament UP to 1909, when
the ladies' singles we're also left off

put back on the tournament card un.

end OF the season may have the honor
of leading all the tennis stars in Ha-

his tennis career. He has won the
championship six times in the singles,
four in succession, and eight times In

Against this record held by Roth,
who is now in San Francisco, Mrs.
Coulter has record that has not
been equaled, in that she won seven
titles in succession in the ladies'
singles, and has also captured six
cups in the ladies' doubles and mixed
doubles. Should she be successful
