would allow the players to call it a
day there were only six teams left in

and Miss Cassel, winners Of manv

the most likely winners in the fnal
round.
Miss Gileaudeau triumpbed orer
Miss Cassel through her never-sa,.-d;o
spirit, manifested from start to finish
o. the match. She covered her court
with remarkable thoroughness. going
after everything that came over the
net, and her own deep court driving.
with the ball hitting the lines with
rnechanlcal steadiness, proved Miss
Cassel's undoing.
1t required the playing of the first
set before Miss Gilleaudeau worked
into the full power Of her game. In
the first stages it was Miss Cassel who
dominated the court with her clever
Volleying at the net and her strong
overhead play. She cat Of her or
ponents drives in effective style and
seemed headed straight for victory.
At the start OF the second set. how
ever, tho former BARNARD chamnion
began getting better pace" and greater
depth into her fore and haclhand
drives, with the result that Miss Cas-
sci no longer felt confident in Going
in to the net position. Her opponent
was placing with such accuracy tha.
to go IN without first having paved the
way behind strong forcing shots meant
danger of being passed
Beng thus compelled to defend her
back court, Miss Cassel was no match
for Miss Gilleaudoau at driving. and
although she made game fight in the
last set, she was not equal to the task.
Miss Pollak surprised the gallery by
the very close match she plaved with
Mrs. Raymond, and had it not been for
distressing lapse in her service in
the last set, when she was leading at
D on games. she might have reversed
the final result
The Harlem Tennis Club star Is
changing her style of service. and al
though when she does acquire it her
game VIII be distinctly strengthened,
she is not yet quite expert enough to
get the best results The match was
mainly decided from back court. with
Mrs. Raymond showing strength in all
departments and having the advantage
IN court tactics.
Mrs. Lynch was expected to take the
measure of Mrs. lie Roy and although
forced to three sets, she did not dis
appoint those who relied upon her TO
come forth the victor Both relied
upon deep court driving, with few at
tempts to go for the net. Mrs Lynch
kept the ball low and close to the base
line, and her work yesterday indicated
that she may give Miss Goss all Kinds
Of trouble tomorrow.
Miss Wagner was particularly good
IN the doubles, her playing of the net
position, whereshe smothered every
thing that came within the sweep Of
her racquet, being a deciding factor in
the match against Mrs. Marshall Nc
Lean and Mrs. Frankc Welte. the for
Nor Edna Wildey It was the first ap-
pearance IN tournament play Of the lat
ter pair in almost year, and that they
managed to hold their opponents so
even speaks volumes for their game.
