Miss Sheldon Wins.
Miss Florence Sheldon. the Montclair
| A c.. star, triumphed over Mrs. L. G.
Sohst In the third round by a score Of
Ga, Ga. and was content to make
her fight from the back court. Mrs.
Sohst tried once or twice to cut Off her
opponents returns by>forcing the net
position, but each time Miss Sheldon
drove her back with beautiful passing
| shots down the side lines and thereafter
Mrs. Sohst acted with more caution.
Mrs. sWaring gained a well merited
victory over Miss Gertrude Della Tore
of the West Side Tennis Club, the sets
tgoing at 6-3, Ga. Here again il was
! mainly a case OF deep court driving,
although now and then Mrs. Warning
scored placement aces with cleverly
| placed cross-court drives that caught
Miss Della Tore many feet from the
ball.
Mrs. Mills took the measure OF Miss
Madelon Mulqueen by score OF GO,
| Ga. First one and then the other took
chances at the net position as they went
in to smother returns by volleying and
smashing. Mrs. Mills was the better at
this style Of play, however, and the
! score about tells the margin OF supe-
riority she enjoyed yesterday.
The competition was very Keen in sew
eral instances in the mixed doubles, one
of the most desperately contested
matches occurring In the second round
