Whether the singles title will go TO
Boston or remain here is matter OF
conjecture. Experts who have watched
all the contests differ In their opinions
Mrs. Wightman has the most followers
and Is the favorite Miss Zinderstein
also has many admirers who are willing
to wager she will win. But the New
Yorkers-Aiiss Cassel and Mrs. Green
are not outsiders by any means. Zach
has displayed championship calibre in
her preliminary rounds and each has a
host of followers.
The play yesterday was not a real
test, for the opponents of Mrs Wight
man. Miss Zinderstein. Miss Csssel and
Mrs. Green were outclassed and unable
to make the favorites extend themselves
The work Of Mrs. Wigntruan attracted
most attention. She seemed at home
on the fast board court and displayed
all of her best wares, even though she
was not compelled TO use them in order
to win. Her work was painstaking and
resourcetul.
Miss Walsh Erratic.
Miss Walsh played a good game in
spots, but she was erratic and at times
seemed bewildered BY the mower and
accuracy behind Mrs. Wightmans vol
leys.
Miss Zinderstein was often forced TO
her top speed by Mrs. Hun. but such
rallies were few and far between and
did not test the Boston girls stamina or
courage. On occasions Mrs. Hun did
remarkably we'll, but almost as soon
"a she lost a point after spirited rally
she seemed 20 lose her aCgressivcness
md allow Miss Zinderstein TO take things
easy.
At times it was a duel of baolIhand-
ing tho bail. and although Mrs. Hut
showed brilliantly at this style Of play
the Boston girl was her master.
The match between Miss Cassel and
Mrs. Sohst was rather dull. Miss Cassel
was not forced TO do her best NJ any
time. Her driving was good and de-
pendable and completely bafiled her OBJ
ponent Mrs Sohst displayed an album
dance Of Are and dash, but she was I'M
able TO check her more experienced rival
Mrs Green and Miss Vim engaged
IN a lively match, and 20 win Mrs.
Green was kept moving at her best most
OF the time. Miss VIM m ovod up 10
close range In the early rallies, but
when NIrs. Green held her even q. this
all n "a
Mrs Green then had little difficulty in
outplayIng her and winning the match
Fast Play In Doubles

tors won easily. Miss Goss and Mrs.
Weaver were too fast and clever for

Adelaide. and won easily e., FL, and
