Miss Marion Zlnderstein OF Boston
and Miss Eleanors Goss. national
women's doubles champions, met with
an unlocked for reverse yesterday In
the New Jersey State championship
tournament on the courts of the Orange
Lawn Tennis Club at Mountain Station.
In the third round the title holders were
defeated most decisively by Miss Mollie
Bjurstedt and Mrs.. Spencer F. Weaver
at 6-3, GO.
The defeat Of the champions-espe-
cially the impressive manner In which
II was brought about-was the big upset
Of the tournament In the national
doubles in Philadelphia last June Miss
Zinderstein and Miss Goss defeated Miss
Bjurstedt and Mrs. Johann Rogge.
fellow Norwegian, in the final.
The relentless driving attack which
Miss Bjurstedt and Mrs. Weaver hurled
against their opponents was unbeatable.
They gained the upper hand early In the
first set and never let up in their terrific
pace. Miss Bjurstedt played the back
court and Mrs. Weaver the net. and the
combination worked splendidly.
Victor. Both Effective.
The brilliant Meila sent over many OF
her twisting cross-courts and frequently
whizzed her hard, sharp drives right be-
tween her opponents, where neither were
in a position to pick up the ball. Her
returns were 80 strong that Miss Zinder-
stein and Miss Goss were often obliged
to make weak returns, giving MIRA
Weaver q chance to do some great work
at the net.
Mrs. Weaver's overhead game was OF
the highest order. Her chop strokes at
the net were very accurate, as was her
play on lobs in midcourt. Miss BUR-
stedt also rushed the net at times.
The champions never were able to get
started. Miss Goss. usually very strong
at the barrier. frequently Melted. while
Miss Zindersteins efforts to place the
ball in the corners were nullihed by the
ability OF Miss Bjurstedt to cover the
back court.
In a much more stubbornly contested
match Mrs David c. Mills and Miss
Edith Handy defeated Miss Gertrude
Della Tore and Miss Caroma VIM In
the third round by Sc, Is. Both sets
were so close that one or two points
would have shifted them to the losers.
In the first set Miss Della Tore and
Miss VIM got Off to a 40 lead. but
Mrs. Mills and Miss Handy caught up
with them at SIS and eventually won
out. The second was Just as close.
In another third round match Mrs. H.
Stuart Green and Mrs. L. G. Morris de-
feated Miss Florence Balm and Mrs.
Theodore Cassebeer. 60, 81.
Balm for Boston Girl.
While Miss Zinderstein was defeated
in the doubles she got some satisfaction
by defeating Mrs. Weaver In the third
round Of the singles. thereby entering
the semi-hnals. Miss Zinderstein won
in straight sets ct 6-1. 6-4.
Miss Bjurstedt and Miss Glare Cassell
also advanced to the serni-nnals in the
singles, the former defeating Mrs. Doug
las Fonda and the latter winning from
Mrs. Theodore Cassebeer. While Mrs.
Fonda proved no match for the brilliant
Morse eirl, she forced her q little more
than did Miss Bjurstedts opponents In
the first day OF the tournament last
Monday. when the naional champion lost
only one game in two matches.
Miss Casselrs strong driving and SUI
perior steadiness and ground covering
ability made her task in defeating Mrs.
Casseheer compa ratively easy, the loser
winning only three games.
In the semi-finals to-day Miss Blur
stedt will play Miss Cassell and Miss
Zinderstein will play Mrs. Mills. The
