Miss Browning Surprises Gallery.
The victory of Miss Browning, the
youngest OF the Browning sisters. all OF
whom have made brilliant records on
tennis courts. was quite a surprise to
the gallery. Although Miss Browning Is
known to be steady and accurate
player 1t was thought, that Miss Ballin
would prove too strong for her. Miss
Browning. however. played some rare
tennis
Miss Cassel. who has been playing
better tennis than in the past three
years, stsrted Off badly and could not hit
her stride until she dropped the first four
games Of the match to Miss Pollak. But
when the Eastern States champion did
get going Miss s'ollak did not have n
look in. Miss Cassel was erratio in
the opening set. which was the main
reason why II strung along for fourteen
games. In the second set. however,
Miss Cassel was at her best and ran
through the six games in speedy order.
The defeat OF Miss BJurstedt and Mrs.
Weaver in the doubles was another sur
prise for the onlookers. The very fact
that the national champion was on the
team made many believe that her team
would be sure winner. Miss Bjurstedt,
however was not at the top OF her game
Her tennis was streaky. There were
| times during the match when she held
the gallery spellbound by the easy man
| ner In which she made a brilliant stroke,
| but there were more times when the on
| lockers could hardly believe their eyes
scciilB Tic ldil uONn on the
| easiest Of shots.
Mrs Weaver had to bear practically
| the whole of the attack, and she did II
| well. II Miss Bjurstedt had been on her
game II is almost certain that her team
| would have won. In the other doubles
match Mrs. Mclean and Mrs. Farlee
played pretty tennis. but they were not
. as steady as Mrs. Morris and Miss Gil
| leaudeau.
