In the national indoor tennis champion

Mrs. George Wightman and Miss Marion
Zlnderstein. both members Of the Long

in the semi-hnal round of the singles
and as a team they advanced to the
final Of the doubles
Miss Zinderstein defeated Mrs. Homer

in the doubles the Boston pair. who
hold the national outdoor title. defeated
Miss Eleanor Goss and Mrs. Spencer

AS q result OF these matches Mrs

crown this morning at II o'clock and
an hour later victor and vanquished
will team up in the doubles and oppose
| Mrs. Albert 1Iumphries and Miss Bessie

After a close analysis OF all the play
! ing done during the week experts are
almost unanimous in declaring that
Mrs. Wightman will be returned the
winner in the singles, and that she and
Miss Zinderstein will win the doubles.
Experience Likely TO Help.
They point out that Mrs. wightman,
who as Miss Hazel Hotchkiss was
| champion several years ago, Is much
| mora experienced than her younger
rival and that this experience, coupled
with her superior knowledge of the in
tricate points OF the game. will enable
her to win. Besides. Mrs. Wightman
has been sort of a tutor to Miss Finder
! stein and in practice has learned all
of her young eliminates weaknesses.
Although three contests in which the
Boston pair engaged were replete with
stirring rallies and brilliant plays.
| neither Mrs. Wightman nor Miss Finder
! stein were forced to do their best. At
times they were pressed hard, but they
always proved equal to the occasion.
Mrs Wightman proved far too re-
sourceful for Miss Cassel and made the
| first set procession of six straight
games and scored 80 points to II for her
opponent In the second set the Boston
ian started Off in a listless manner, and
before she got speeded up TO her best
work Miss Cassell had taken the first
| game at e. But that was the last
game Miss Cassel got until Mrs. Wight
man had scored five in n row. In the
next Miss Cassell earned another by her
skill in passing Mrs. W,gntmaH as she
came up to the net to smash and volley.
But the Boston woman proved her all

Fine Work In Doubles.


The team work of the Boston pair in
the doubles was faultless. Miss Finder
stein did almost all OF the playing, but
whenever H. was necessary for Mrs
WiEhtman to get into the fray she was
always found at the right place at the
right time. Mrs. Wightman had little
TO do. but what she did do was exactly
what her Younger partner anticipated
and invariably resulted in points. They
played close to the net and their lobs
