as being sort of one-sided match
Their conquerors were Mrs Geo,,.

of the game was the work of Miss Flea

real snappy American service. In fact.
she IS the strongest woman server seen
on the courts in years
Along with being hard server she
hits some grand drop shots now and

theIoldest men experts. All Miss Goss
needs is little more steadiHess and
some more playing experience TO make
her an out-aud-out smasher.
Of course, she has been q runner-up

that IS nothing to what she is gong TO
be. There will be none to beat her in
a couple of wears.
