MISS BALLIN WINS
ON ARDSLEY COURTS
Reaches Semi-Final Rounds in
Invitation Singles and
Doubles.
BY EUGENE r.. o,coNNELL.

Miss Florence Ballin, whose brilliant
tennis this year has been an agreeable
surprise. continued to play a mastery
game yesterday in the fourth round Of
the invitation singles tournament on the
courts Of the Ardsley club. She won
her way into the semi-final round. Miss
Balm took her fourth round match
from Mrs. lingo f. Hartman without
much difficulty. at 6--1, Go.
Miss BALM was equally successful In
the doubles, for. paired with Mrs. de
Forest Candee. she came through to the
semi-final round. However. Miss BALM
did not even have to raise a racquet to
advance so far in tn, doubles. In the
second round she and Mrs. Candee
gained default over Miss A. Brown
and Miss B. Jones, and in the third round
they moved UP on a default by Mrs. G.
o. Wagner and Miss Edith Handy.
/ The match in the fourth round of the
singles between Miss Ballin and Mis-.
Hartman was of great interest to the
gallery. Mrs. Hartman had been play
ing good tennis in the early rounds of
this tournament as well as in other tour
naments this season, and many expected
that she would make the West Side Ten
mis- Club stretch out to win the match
Miss BalIin at Best.
It Is true that Mrs Hartman played
good tennis yesterday against Miss
Ballln. Miss BALM. however. was right
at the top of her game and speeded up
right from the start, Her strong driving
from either side of the court proved too
much for Mrs. Hartman to handle. and
the latter fell victim In quick style.
Miss Ballins victory brackets her in the
semi-final round with the winner of the
Mrs. Raymond Miss Natalie Browning
ma tch. which will be played to-day. Miss
Balm will play in her semi-fnal round
match tomorrow.
Miss Browning gained her place In the
round before the semi-fnals by defeat
ing Mrs. David c. Mills in one of the
feature matches OF the day, This con-
test went to three hard sets before Miss
Browning triumphed at 6-S, Is, Ga.
Mrs. Mills had the lead a couple of
times In the second set and looked like
a straight set winner. Miss Browning,
however. fought hard throughout, and
in the third set had things pretty much
her own way from the start. Mrs.
Raymond won her third round match
easily from Mrs. H. Whitley at Ga,
6-1.
In the mixed doubles, which started
in the afternoon. an unusual feature was
the fact that couple of the teams
drawn to oppose one another could not
get up to the Ardsley Club. and so
played their match on the courts OF the
New York Lawn Tennis Club In New
York city. Mrs E. V. Lynch and w. J..
Toussaint won this contest from Mr.. and
Mrs. lingo F. Hartman, two sets to one.
at 3--6, 6-3. 60. One OF the main
differences about the match Is the fact
that at Ardsley the teams would have
played on grass. while at the New York
club they played on clay.
