was successful in every tournament in
which she entered in 191Sr in the
singles, and there was also distinct
Improvement in her work as doubles
player. Casting an eye over the lawn
tennis horizon, there does not appear
any player in this country capable of
stopping Miss Bjurstedt's irresistible
sweep for another year or two.
TO Miss Goss must fall the No. 2
position i'll the ranking list, according
to our line of reasoning. This young
prayer, only two years a competitor in
important tournament play, finished as
runner-up to Miss Bjurstedt in both
the indoor and outdoor championships,
ana likewise distinguished herself in
dozen other Journeys. Her game is
stlll IN process of development, and
there is yet lacking that refinement of
stroke, that tinesse of court general
ship. which must be gained before she
reaches the topmost heights.
A Severe Service
With unusual height and strength
and service more severe than that of
any woman on the courts to-day, Miss
Goss is essentially net player, volley-
ing persistently and aggressively, al
though trife slow in closing in at the
net position. Toward the latter part
OF the season she began to show de-
cided improvement in her ground
strokes from deep court and gave indi-
cations that with the passing of an
other season or two she will be still
more dangerous contender for the
titles now held by Miss Bjurstedt.
A difficulty crops up in naming the
player to occupy the No. position in
our list. Mrs. H. Stuart Green, of the
Ardsley Club, and Miss Marion Finder
stein, of the Longwood Cricket Club.
both hold claims on the place, but we
are inclined a bit in Mrs. Green's
favor, owing to her sterling play, not
only in singles, but also in doubles.
Mrs. Green forced Miss Bjurstcdt to
three hard sets in the final round of
the annual tournament at Ardsley this
summer and went through a strong
field to capture the middle states cham.
pionship later in the season. The for
mer Miss Adelaide Browning is one of
the most persistent and sensational
court coverers among the women and
capable of extending any woman player
in the land.
Almost totally lacking in net game,
Mrs. Green accomplishes her ends by
wonderfully steady deep court driving,
in which "pace" is distinguishing

There Is no difficulty in naming herr
who shall be known as the "Queen of
the Courts" for the fourth year in sue
cession. and there can be no dissenting
voice when we choose Miss Molla Blur
stedt for that proud title. The great
player from Norway was so greatly
superior to her closest rivals as to be
really in a class by herself, and not
once during 4 long and arduous season
did she lower her colors in defeat.
Besides winning the national indoor
championship for the third time Miss
Bjurstedt won the highest honors of
the courts at Philadelphia last June
when she defeated Miss Eleanor Goss
in the challenge round Of the national
championship on turf courts. This
marked the fourth year of succession
that the Morse queen came through trl-
umphantly in this event.
Greatest Rival Missing
1t is true that Miss Bjurstedt's great
est rival Miss Mary Browne, of Cali
fornia, did not come east this season
to renew her thrilling struggles of 1917
with the fair foreign invader, and this
is to be regretted, since these two girls
seem about as evenly matched as any
two court champions ever were. 1t is
doubtful, however, whether Our Mary"
would have been able to withstand the
whirlwind speed of foot and stroke,
backed up by better all-round game,
that Miss Bjurstedt would have brought
to bear against her this year:
1t is the opinion of some OF the most
competent lawn tennis critics in the
country, and in this opinion we fully
concur, that the national champion is
a more finished player to-day than at
any time in her brilliant career on
American courts. Miss Bjurstedt
always possessed feetness of foot and
surprising space" in her stroking Of
the ball, and vast majority of her
victories over Americas greatest play
ers were won with those two weapons
of offence.
But in the season just closed the
champion showed a greater assortm ent
of shots and more thorough knowl-
edge of court craft than ever before,
and those who witnessed the series of
matches in 1917 between the Morse
girl and Miss Browne, in which the
latter won the greater number Of sets,
are almost universally of the opinion
that Miss Bjurstedt would triumph
were a similar series of matches to be
held to-day.
Besides winning the national indoor
and outdoor titles the Norwegian star

accurate description a vital part. Be-
cause of her greater percentage of vic
tories in tournament play this season
we have decided to give Mrs. Green the
preference over Miss Zinderstein for
the place, slight though the margin is.
Miss Zinderstein has been something
Of disappointment this year. I'm
usually gifted by nature as a player,
she has not lived up to expectations,
largely owing to her inability to con-
troll her strokes at critical stages. Her
backhand shot across the court is one
of the finest strokes in use to-day and
her forehand drive in a manner that
reminds the onlooker Of William M.
Johnston. of California.
In addition, Miss Zinderstein is VOL
leyer OF rare promise, and her service
is both severe and we'll placed. but also
one Of her weakest points. A fatal
tendency to make double-faults in her
delivery lost many matches this sea-
son for the brilliant young Boston play
er, but it is probable that she will
overcome this weakness with q little
more ripening experience, and then she
will prove fit rival for the best on
the courts.
Miss Wagner Fifth
The first four places having thus
been disposed Of, Miss Marie Wagner
New York State champion, seems fitted
for fifth place, having taken part in 6
large number of tournaments and sue
cessfully defended her state title.
Miss Clare Cassel, although not com
peting as frequently as was her GUS
tom few years ago, performed we'll,
winning the Park Hill Country Clubs
annual tourney two weeks ago, in the
final round Of which she defeated Miss
Wagner She seems to have earned
sixth place.
Mrs. George W. wightman, forme,
national champion, and Miss Eleanora
Sears, both of Boston, are surely en-
titled to the seventh and eighth posi-
tons, in spite Of their rare appear
ances in singles competition, while
Miss Helene Pollak, semi-fnalist in the
national and fnalist in the New York
State tourney, and Miss Nathalie
Browning, sister of Mrs. Green
should fill in the last two places of the
"frst ten"
Scanninr this list, it may appear that
some of those named are given a ia,
higher ranking than ordinarily would
be their portion, but this is solely due
to the fact that players like Miss
Browne, Miss Martha Guthrie and 9TH
ers Of unquestioned quality have not
taken part in enough tournaments tc
warrant their being ranked.

To Be Held i'm NezV York

Plans have been laid for the holding
in New York this season Of an aquatic
pentathlon for women, to which will be
invited the leading mermaids of the
East and Middle West, and the fixture
promises to be one of the most inter-
esting on the indoor programme. The
event will be an all round test of
workmanship in which the candidates
compete successfully in five events
100-yard free style swim, 50-yard
back stroke, 5o-yard breast stroke,
fancy diving and lifesaving.
Awards will be made by summing up
the place numbers of each entrant in
all Ave contests, lowest scores natu-
rally taking precedence. 1t will be
seen, therefore, that versatility Is the
chief factor, rather than exceptional
ability in any one line. The pentathlon
was introduced about a year ago, and
at its first presentation Miss Gertrude
Artelt, of Philadelphia, a fifteen-year-
old girl just rising to fame, defeated
a large field Of crack rivals and capt

George schroth, Of Sacramento,
seems to have succeeded Lieutenant
Norman Ross, of San Francisco, as the
all round swimming champion of
California. Although hardly in Ross's
class, Schroth has been winning most
Of the Pacific A. A. u. title races since
Ross left the sport to enter the avia-
tion service, and he has just added to
his laurels a victory in the long dis
lance classic of the district The

The epidemic of influenza has tenn

While these fair stars seem now on the
high road to recovery, it is feared they
will be unable to resume training for a
couple of months.
