MORSE GIRL VICTOR
 IN TENNIS TOURNEY
Miss Bjurstedt Reaches Final Round
 of New Jersey Championship.

New York. Oct. Miss Molla Blur stedt, national singles champion, and Miss Marion Zinderstein, national doubles champion, reached the final of the women's singles in the New Jersey State championship tourna- ment yesterday on the courts of the Orange Lawn Tennis Club, at Noun tain Station, N. J.
 Miss Bjurstedt played tennis that was almost perfect and defeated Miss Clare Casse1I with the same ease with which she brushed aside her less H. lustrious oponents earlier in the week. Miss Bjurstedt lost only one game, winning at 6-1, %.
 Miss Marion Zinderstein, the clever Boston girl, reached the final by de- feating Mrs. David C. Mills of Orange in straight sets at 6-3, 6-2.
 While Miss Bjurstedt won a sensa- tional victory in the singles she met her first reverse of the tournament when she and Julian s. Nyrick were defeated in the third round of the mixed doubles by Miss Cassell and Duke Thomas, the Pelham Bay sailor, at 8-6, S-6. This match was con- tinued from the preceding jday.
 Judging from the scores with which Miss Bjurstedt won her singles match it might be assumed that Miss Cassell had an off day, but this was not the case. Despite the one-sidedness of the score Miss Cassell played well, but the Morse wizard played super-tennis. She played one of the best matches of her brilliant career. Despite her hard driving her errors were practically negligible.
 Both players drove hard. Each put powerful force in every stroke, but the uncanny ability of Miss Bjurstedt to get over the turf enabled her to make some wonderful "gets" and place the ball In the corners until she got through a placement or forced Miss Cassell to hit into the net or drive out of the court.
 Miss Bjurstedt Sets Fast Pace.
 "I tried everything I knew" said the Park Hill title holder after the match, ''but I simply couldn't put anything that Miss Bjurstedt could not get back. She is a wonder"
 Miss Bjurstedt never let up for a moment. She kept up such a terrific pace that the clever Miss Cassell was played off her feet.
 Mrs Mills played some smart ten- his against Miss Zinderstein! but the Boston girls dash and ability to cover ground were too much for her. By keeping the ball low Mrs. Mills gave Miss Zinderstein some trouble | and forced her to net frequently. Near the finish the New Englander's $ driving game tired her opponent and l the Jersey woman's returns had less and less steam behind them. Miss ZindeFstein picked openings in in her opponents defence, and when 1 ever Mrs. Mills tried to rush the net Miss zinderstein responded with hard driven strokes.
 Miss Bjurstedt and Myfiek made 8 game fight in the mixed doubles, but could not turn the tide. After losing the first set 6-S last Thursday they were behind 3-5 in the second set yesterday, when a great rally by the Morse girl tied up the match at 5-5 but Miss CasselI and Thomas again 1 took command and won at S-6.
 The semi-fnals of the p1ixed doubles will be played this nrSrning and the | three finals this afternoon.

Annapolis, Md, Oct. 4-Navy's foot bali manager last night was informed that Lebanon Valley will not send a team here today. No effort will be made to fill the date, injuries and sickness having reduced the squad so that it would have been difficult to put any sort of an eleven on the field.

NEAT STRATEGIC BLOW WINS
GROUND AND SAVES TROOPS

AMERICAN ARMY HEADOUAR-
TIERS IN FRANCE (Reuters l--There
probably never was neater instance
OF a strategical offensive than the
fashion in which the Germans along
the Vesle were put to. fight by a
blow struck many miles to the west
Of them. Had we attempted to force
the line of the Vesle tactically we
should have lost at least 10000 men
and possibly three times that num-
Der.
By the blow struck on the Sois-
sons plateau, however, blow which
in any case was inevita ble-the Vesle
has been cleared in the operations
along the Ailette. BY those same op-
erations some of the finest divisions
OF the German army have been pre-
vented from holding up the British
advance and the Hindenburg line
thus far has been broken by battle
nearly 100 miles away from it.
Though the German withdrawal
from the Vesle is the most snowy
event in this sector, by far the most
serious one was their defeat between
Terny-Sorny and the Ailette It is no
wonder that their troops were COM
manded to resist to the last man,
since If they are unable to hold the
neck of the hill to the south Of
Vauvaillon they will have to with
draw their entire garrison from the
Pont Rouge plateau and fall back
to the last ridge from which the
flank Of the Chemin des Danes can
be defended.

!. AS an illustration of what has hap.
pened within the last thirty days it
should be said that at Villeveuue the
Germans are nearly thirty-seyen
miles to the east of Amiens. On
August they stood, east of Corbie.
only little more than ten miles
from that great allied base.
AS this glorious month of the al
lied triumphal march winds up
the British, French and Americans
are still hammering forward, but
from clean pursuit the campaign is
changing into a new battle, in which
the foe apparently means to defend
every foot in a desperate delaying
combat.
