Mrs. Bundy Expected to
PLAY in Greenwich Meet
Against Mrs. Wightman

Many important lawn tennis tourna-
ments are scheduled for this month
as we work slowly up to the zenith of
the season, and one national champion
ship event will be decided when the
mems national clay court titles in
singles and doubles is played on the
courts of the South Side Tennis Club,
of Chicago, beginning next Saturday.
Entries for the clay court fixture
close this week, and the officials of the
Western Lawn Tennis Association are
making special efforts to bring out a
notable entry and the largest total of
players %ho ever competed for the
historic title now held by William NJ.
Johnston, is looked for. Many OF the
best players in the East have already
sent in their entries, while the Middle
West and the Pacific Coast intend
sending some of their most prominent
stars.
Last week, n referring to the wor-
ems open singles and doubles tourna
ment at the Greenwich Country Club,
to begin on Tuesday afternoon at 2:30
O'clock, I stated that the play would be
en- turf courts. find that I was in
error in so stating, for the clubs fine
make this correction now, lest the fair
racquet wielders journey to Greenwich
with their turf court footwear instead
of the clay paraphernalia, which is
minus the spikes.
Mrs Harry Franklin Morse, runner
up to Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory in
the national "patriotic' tournament OF
1917, is fulfilling the onerous duties Of
chairman of the tournament commit
tee with her customary thoroughness
and keenness, and I shall be greatly
out to be one Of the most successful
affairs held this season.
There IS a possibility that Mrs. May
Sutton Bundy, Miss Eleanora Tenant
and Miss Helen Baker, all Of Cali
fornia and among the greatest players
who ever came from the Coast, will be
among the contenders at Greenwich.
But the East will be fully as strong,
with Mrs. George W. Wightman, Miss
Marion Zinderstein, Miss Eleanor Goss,
Miss Helene Pollak, Miss Florence
Ballin, Miss Penelope Davies, Mrs. Ed
ward v Lynch, Mrs. Edward Raymond
and others Of that high standard of
quality taking the courts.
Besides the handsome new challenge
cup for the singles, presented by Mrs.
Morse, there will be individual prizes
for the winners and runners-up IN
singles and doubles.
