New-York tribune., 1918-06-19

One OF the singles encounters that
held forth great promise of sparkling
tennis, but that was postponed because
of the rain when the score stood at
that between Miss Marion Zinderstein
and Miss Eleanor Sears, both of Bos-
ton. The girls will renew their strug-
gle tomorrow morning at 1890 o'clock.
Both Miss Zinderstein and Miss
Sears play the aggressive, hard hitting
style of game, with brilliant net work
that is always appreciated by the gal
leries, and they went just far enough
in their match to-day to whet the ap
petites of the spectators, indicating
that the battle tomorrow will be a
rare one. Miss Sears, of course, is
far more experienced and has COM
sides being a perfect judge of the
value of frequent change Of pace.
Against these forces, Miss Zinder-
stein called into action her great speed
of foot, irresistible dash and daring
at the net, and remarkably lpowerful
forehand drive, all her ground strokes
carrying an unusual amount of top
spin, so that she can put the whole
strength of her body behind the stroke,
with full carry throught and yet keep
within the court boundaries.
These opposing combinations proved
so evenly balanced to-day that it was
difficult to prophesy as to the eventual
winner, but unless Miss Zinderstein
keeps going at full stride all the way to-
morrow Miss Sears should pull through.
The winner Of this match will play
Miss Clare Cassel, sof New York, who
advanced to-day through her defeat of
Mrs. De Forest Candee, of the West
Side Tennis Club.
! Miss Cassel kept the ball on Mrs.
Candee's backhand persistently, feel
ing that that was a defensive point
with her opponent, and the results
proved that she had diagnosed her op-
ponent's game correctly, for whenever
she finished off the points by good
hard smashing. AS long as she could
stick the ball into deep court on the
left side, however, Miss Cassel usually
caught the West Side player out Of
position and forced her to make the
return from an awkward stand.
Miss. Eleanor Goss, who mas been
blessed with remarkably easy path
in her march to the final round, swept
through her match with Miss Eliz, beth
Ostheimer, of the Huntingdon Valley
Country Club, by score of 6-1, Go
The New York girl has found nobody
yet to put her skill to the test, with
the exception of her opening round
match yesterday against Mrs. Rawson
L. Wood, nor does it seem probable
that she will be in serious difficulties
until she arrives in the final bracket
when her opponent should be either
Miss Sears or Miss Zinderstein.
Rapidly as she went through he1
match to-day, however, Miss Goss dem.
onstrated that her mastery of ground
strokes will soon be complete, for shs
sent fore and back hand shots through
Miss Ostheimer's deep court with 8
power that was impressive.
Miss Helene Pollak, another of the
! New York contingent who has beer
blasting the championship hopes of the
local players, defeated Miss Mollie
Thayer, the star Of the Cricket Club
by score of 7---5, 6-1 this morning
bringing her into the round before the
semi-final along with the other singles
winners Of the day.
Miss Pollak battered down all oppo.
sition by the power Of her forehanc
drive, and although Miss Thayer made
it practically an even struggle in the
first set she was unable to hold the
pace in the second and could only
win one game
