Plays Finals
In Net Matches
Miss Cassel Comes Through
in Tennis Tourney De-
cision To-day
BY A. G. Cavagnaro

Miss Marie Wagner and Miss Clare
Cassel, winners of the recent New York
State lawn tennis doubles tennis cham
plonship, will oppose each other in the
final round of the Park Hill Country
Club open tournament as result of
the play in the semi-fnals round in the
open tourney at South Yonkers ycster-
day. 1t is very likely that they will
fight out the final tilt this afternoon.
The victories of both Miss Cassel and
Miss Wagner were of short duration
and rather easy ones. Miss Cassel op-
posed Mrs. lingo Hartman, whom she
vanquished in straight sets by score
Of 6-4, "a. Miss Wagner eliminated
Mrs. Edward V. Lynch by count of
60, 6--1.
Miss Wagners play was more mcr-
torious as she won as she pleased from
Mrs. Lynch. The latter proved utterly
unable to meet the deceptive attack of
, Miss Wagner, who drove with all her
force throughout the match, outguessed
her rival on many occasions, and uti-
lized her placement shots with good
judgment.
During the first set Miss Wagner
counted consecutively on placement
shots and drives to the baselnes that
Mrs. Lynch seemed unable to get to
for a proper return. In the second
set Miss Wagner was as determined,
putting her rival on her metal for
every point which she earned. Miss
Wagner placed her sEots we'll over the
net and frequently caught Mrs. Lynch
out of position on 'cross-court shots.

accumulated points for her in quick
succession
