SECOND DAY GAMES
WIN SURPRISES
Miss Phyllis Walsh, Philadelphia
Country Club, in Stellar Role;
Miss Zinderstein Wins.

The second day of the women's lawn
tennis tournament for the championship
of Delaware began and ended with rush
Yesterday with Miss Marion II. Finder
stein, Longwood; Mrs Gilbert A. Harvey,
Philadelphia Country Club. and Miss
PHYLLIS Walsh, also of the Philadelphia
Country Club. playing the star roles. Miss
Iinderstein put her club mate, Miss Edith
Sigourney, out of the singles tournament;
Mrs. Harvey eliminated Miss Helen
Sewell the clever young star of the Hunt
ingdon Valley Country Club, and also
Miss Rebecca Thomson, Merton Cricket
Club. while Miss Walsh came through
with rather surprisingly easy victory
over Miss Florence Ballin, the Metro
politan luminary and member of the
Westsidc Tennis Club.
Nothing of an exciting nature developed
until Mrs. Harvey and Miss Sewell took
the court Mrs Harvey won the first set,
f-3, but even so she had a rather hard
time getting started, and Miss Sewells
tenacious returning kept the eastern dou-
bles champion hurrying all the time to
win every point.
Later in the afternoon Miss Walsh and
Miss Ballin took the courts in the pres
ence of large and thoroughly inter
csted gallery. II was the general belief
that Miss Walsh would give Miss Balm
a good battle, nevertheless, Miss Balm
was a slight favorite When the match
was completed Miss Walsh had the larger
end of 6-2. 2-6. 6-1 score, the gallery
was much surprised The peculiar score
is accounted for the fact that Miss Walsh
was in wonderful form in the first and
third sets. but in the second she was
constantly making errors, partly. oi
course, due to Miss Ballin's well-timed
driving. Miss Walsh played an excel
lent game at the net, and while Miss
Pallin also essayed to go to the net on
occasions, she was not nearly as success
ful At the barrier as Miss Walsh, who
won many points by shOrt-courting her
opponent with Fred Alexander-like vol
leylettes Her crosse court fire at the net
was also accurate and was good point
scorer for her.
