played contest Of the day, BY q score
OF Ga. SIS. rs, in the second round.

winner of the recent Woodmere tourna-
mont. defeated Harrison r. Hathaway,
the one armed star from Pieasantvilie,
by score Of Ga. st3. in the third
round. and lingo r. Hartmann triumphed
over r. J. Sommer at Ct. Go, In the
fourth round. thereby gaining his bracket
In the round before the semi-hnal. His
next opponent will be Kirk Reid OF Cor
| nell.
The match In the women's singles
| between Mrs Waring and Mrs. Pritchari
was more closely fought out than the
score shows, several Of the games going
to "rieuce." following long rallies from
deep court Both players seemed de-
termined to uncover a weakness df the
oackhand OF the other. but this did not
come to pass. for neither made mistakes
when taking the ball on the left side,
although Mrs. waring was little moro
effective in this respect, particularly
when she dropped the ball short across
fcrecourt as Mrs. Pritchard was close to
| her base line.
The winner also was steadier and had
better control over her ground strokes,
so that she was always in tho lead, even
though Mrs. Pritchard was fighting hard
| all the time.
Easy for Misc PoIIak.
Miss Pollak had far less difficulty in
overcoming Miss Farquhar, winning her
points about as she wanted to. Her
driving on her forehand was more Sc
we're and more accurately placed than
| on the previous day of the tournament.
and she also met the attack Of her op-
| ponent on the backhand with consid-
| cradle success. II was mostly on, fine
| drives through deep court either with
| passing shots down the sidelines or
| speedy shots across court that the mid
die States champion won her points.
DR.. Rosenbaum played very good ten
| mis- in taking the measure of Hathaway
| in straight sets. Not only were his
| ground strokes going very we'll but his
play overhead was far steadier than Il
cuEtomary with him. Hathaway showed
his greatest strength IN the many fast
volleying exchanges from midcourt, and
in this department he held DR.. Rosen-
baum about even. but on the ground the
one armed player was not 30 reliable.
