Miss Pollah PLAYS Well
Miss Poilak was never pressed i, ~.

the previous day. For one Thing ~.

ting the ball with more pace" and bs,.
ter control, and she crashed bacl fo,s.
nand drives across deen court ~,
down the side lines with such sns.1
that Miss Farquhar cou.d rarely o..
here were occasions when Miss po'.
sak Ventured 10 the net. something IN.
usual with her. and with fair succeS.
1or she hand He'd short lobs well.
Mrc. Warjng always held comnsr5
over Mrs Prltchard, and athoug.
many Of the games wen- to deuce h..
lore she could bang out the finishing
shots she generally came throurS
beautifully when crisis arose. Bo,t
players engaged in stirring rsllis,
from backcourt, exchanging backhapj
drives at sharp angles across TIE
court. Neither showed q weakness 0,
this stroke, but Mrs. Waring was b.
more reliable in her placing.
The best match Of the afternoon W.;
that IN which Mrs. Wilbourn and Fors.
ter defeated Miss Marguerite Molle,
and Captain Robert c. Van Vliei. IN
the second round of the mixed doubles
by q score of 6-4. 3-6, - The is
sue was in doubt until the last pont
had been won OF a lign ming smash by
Forster Of a short lob sent Up by Cap
tain Van Vliet.
One OF the remarkable features Of
this match was the splendid service Of
Miss Moller. In the three sets the New
Jersey player scored a greater num-
Der OF points on her delivery than tie
three other players combined. Seyersl
times she earned aces" on ForS.- r ani
