shows skill in Singles.
Miss Wagner was at her best In the
singles match snd displayed the brand
of tennis which helped her win the title
last year. Even yesterday the onlook-
ers began to speculate on how the final
round would turn out. They based their
calculations. for tho most part, on the
fact that last year Miss Wagner met
Miss Handy in the final round and
won her match in straight sets. II SO
happened that yesterday Miss Handy,
who was the runner up last year. met
Mrs. Raymond. who as result of yes
terday's match can be no worse than
| the runner UP this year. 1t took Mrs.
Raymond three hard sets to defeat Miss
Handy yesterday Last year Miss Wag-
ner beat Miss Handy in two sets with
out trouble.
The match which Miss Wagner and
Mrs, wilbourn won in the semi-final
round was slow and did not have a great
lery in general felt that Miss Wagner
| and Mrs. Wilbourn would win. 1t ID
true that the first set was long drawn
out, but this was due not 80 much 10
| the fact that Miss Grove and Mrs. War
| ing played high class tennis as to the
, fact that the ultimate winners did not
work as hard as they might have.
