match, between Miss Goss and Miss
Zirderstein, Miss Goss won after three
sets. By q score of IS, 1--6, 6-1. The
playing here was very uneven, each
PLAYER taking her turn at erratic work

made defeat certain for her. After run
ring into the lead Of 81 on games
in the first set, and with all her shots
going beautifully, the brilliant Boston
girl suddenly developed a streak of
double faulting in the sixth game, and

uratiyely blew up" again, Miss Goss

service, but that was all, for Miss

rest OF the set, taking the last six
games IN row and making the match
a. square by winning the set at 6--1.
The gallery seemed to take it for

had settled down for good and that
she would take the third set and the
match. but after the seven-minute rest
before the start Of the final set Miss
Goss came out on the court with re-
newed termination and started to
make runaway match of it.

start, she crushed all opposition by
the power Of her ground strokes and
her splendid volleying. Oaly the fourth
game went to Miss Zinderstein, and
that CT Miss Goss's service. After
making two double-faults in the last
game, the Boston girl lost the match

such consistently good ground strokes
as N this match. Her forehand and
nacAnand drives had great speed and
me depth, the ball just clearing the
net and she followed in her forcing
shots with excellent judgment,

an equal chance with the West Side
sirl yesterday.
