 Miss Zinderstein uutplayed Miss Ten nant, e-i, 6-g. Their engagement marked the first time that women have been included in the competitions here.
 Speedy deep court driving, cleverly mixed with slashing cross courts, ac- counted for the victory of Washburn who ranks as No.s 10 on the national list. Davis handled the ball ably. He played above his form. It was impossi- ble for him to avoid the passes which Washburn dealt out so accurately and freely once he had his strokes in com nand. There was a shower during the second set, but it did not affect the playing to any extent.
