NET STAR DISAPPOINTED
Miss Zlndersteln Unable to Compete
In ENGLAND

New York. May 31.-Miss Marion
Zinderstein, Boston tennis star, who
was unable to leave here May 30 with
the Davis Cup team, has decided to
abandon her trip to England. where she
was to compete for the women's Brit
ish tennis championship at Wimbledon,
it became known today.
Miss Zinderstein learned at the last
minute that government regulations pre-
vented women passengers on the trans
port Northern Pacific, and since the
Kaiserin Augustc Victoria, the next
ship on which she could go, will not
arrive in England until two days before
the tournament begins, she felt she
would be seriously handicapped for lack
of time to practice.
Other women contenders for the
Wimbledon honors also were prevented
from sailing on the Northern Pacific,
but they will sail June II.

PENN OWES WIN TO
STRATEGY SHOWN BY
LAWSON ROBERTSON
Quaker Coach Shifted Fue athletes in Sepen Epents to
Beat Princeton for Track Title-Victory Similar
to 1913 Triumph
\ BY EDWIN j. POLLOCK

, that the Quakers we're able to put over
their victory, but despite this Robert
son refuses TO take any credit or have
any placed on him.
Refuses Credit
Those boys deserve all the credit, "
said the genial Penn coach after being
congratulate ted. "You know. it's all
right to sit on n bench and tell them
how to run, but you. must remember
that they do the running. I'm mighty
proud Of those five boys and of the whole
,rnck team. for they all helped win the
meet, although they didn't all score.
i attribute their success to their own
natural ability and willingness to live
up to training rules"
Maxam. Landers and Eby were the
big scorers for Penn. each with eight
points. Landers's lean Of twenty three
feet eight inches, made Friday in the
trials, stood for first place in the broad
jump, and he vaultcd twelve feet for
q tie for second. He missed twelve feet
six inches by bare fraction of an inch
After taking third place in the quar-.
ter. Eby went out in the half and won
in the, slow time Of | rs. He used his
head in the $50 and purposely kept the
pace slow by hanging in the rear. He
knew he had the stuff to 60 out in front
on the final straiShtaway.
Hampton Comes Through
Warren Hampton supplied the one
and one half points picked up in the
high jump. Hc tied for fourth place.
Hampton succeeded where Bill Rey.
nolds. the relay hero, fell down.
Aside from the Penn angle, the biz
outside feature was the new world 8
record made by Earl Thomson. The
Dartmouth flash stepped over the high
hurdles in fourteen and two fifth sec
onds, seemingly impossible time. This
clipped one fifth Of second from Bob
Simpsons world figures and three fifths
of a second from the intercollegiate
mark made by Fred Murray, of Leland
Stanford in 1916.
Thomson will compete for Canada in
the Olympic, and he looks like sure
| winner. Simpson now is professional.
II Thomson does win. it will be the first
time that a hurdle race ever was won by
any one other than an American.

BY SPICK HALL

IN KEEPING with the day the turf
= courts Of the Merton Cricket Club,
Haverford, were decorated with the
fairer and more communicative sex this
afternoon when play began in the sin
giles and doubles for the lawn tennis
championship Of Pennsylvania and
eastern states. The tournament will con-
tinue throughout the week with the
finals on Saturday.
In the singles, there we're thirty six
entries, including most of the star per-
formers in this district as well as
number of fancy racquet wielders from
out Of town. Mrs. A. G. Butler, Bcs-
ton; Miss Il. Gamble, Baltimore; Miss
Eleanor Cottwan, Baltimore; Mrs. j.
u. Bailey, Baltimore. and Mrs. Samuel

IntercIub Players
Nearly all Of the leading players in
the Women's Interclub League were
entered This organization has com
pleted its schedule. Merton winning
and the Country Club finishing second.
With the Intcrclub matches erased
from the summer schedule, there is no
conflicting tournament for the women of
this vicinity this week. consequently the
field is a strong one. Miss Molly Thayer,
of the Cricket Club. and Philadelphia
champion, was among those present
when play began today. Miss Ann
Townsend, OF Merton, the Delaware
state champion. is also on the list.
In their recent matches in the Inter
club League both Miss Thayer and Miss
u-o,rpvanI nlnypI nyralInnt tnnniq Tho
three set match in which Miss Thayer
defeated Miss Townsend at Haverford
was one of the best of the season. Both
of these players are expected to make a
fine showing. Miss Thayer naturally
is anxious to add another to her string
of honors and Miss Townsend is equally
anxious to capture the cup. However,
Mrs. Gilbert A. Harvey. of the Country
Club, is entered. which means that VINO :
ever wins the tournament will have to
play high grade tennis. Mrs. Harvey
was snmifnalist in the national at st.
Martins last year, and although she is
the favoritc for the state title this year
she will have lots of strong opposition
