Annual Tennis Tour

By Fred Hawthorne

The Browning family name was kept
right up at the top yesterday in the
playing of the Ardsley Clubs annual
invitation lawn tennis tournament, in
both singles and doubles. on the splen
did turf courts at Ardslcy- on Hudson
Mrs. Stuart Green, paired with one
sister, Mrs. A. +. Thurber, defeated
Mrs. Theodore c. Casscbecr and Mrs
Albert HUMPHREYS at IS. 6-1, in the
first round of the doubles. The win
ming pair were both known to fame
on the courts when they played as the
Misses Browning.
Miss Nathalie Browning particularly
distinguished herself yesterday In the
morning she defeated Mrs. Lewis Cou-
Verneur Morris with surprising ease by
d score Of 81, 6-l. In the afternoon
she went on the court with another
sisters, Mrs. Dickinson, and vanquished
Mrs. lingo Hartmann and Mrs. H. F
Waring at C. 6~1.
Thus. with four Of the house of
Browning stu in the tournament, it is
no gift Of prophecy that leads us to
remark that at least two of them
should figure prominently in the final
rounds of singles or doubles

filling out the brackets.
Miss Browning brought to bear all
the strength of her finely developed
back-court game in crushing Mrs.
Morris in short straight sets al 6-l,
81. Try as she would, Mrs Morris
did not seem able to keep the ball out
Of her young opponents reach, for
Miss Browning covered her court with
unusual speed and her own driving
through deep court and down the side
lines continually caught Mrs. Morris
out of position.
