Notable Entries at Greenwich

Mrs Harry Franklin Morse, of the
Greenwich Country Club, who as Miss
Marion Nanderhoef. was runner-up to
the then Miss Molla Bjurstedt in the
womens national tournament of 1917,
writes to me to say that the women's
open lawn tennis tournament in SIN
giles and doubles, on the turf courts of
that club, starting a week from to-day,
viii have one Of the most notable en-
try lists of the season.
This is one of the events scheduled
on the turf surface for the express
purpose of giving the women the neces-
sary practice for the national cham
pionships at the Philadelphia Cricket
Club, next September, and it has been
duly sanctioned by the United States
Lawn Tennis Association.
Mrs. Morse is giving a handsome new
challenge cup for the winner of the
singles, to become the permanent prop
erty Of the player winning it three
times. In addition there. are unusually
choice prizes for the winners and run
ners-up in each event, including silver
clocks, silver cigarette cases, travelling
bags, etc.
The singles will begin at 2:3o O'Clock.

There is q strong probability that
some of the noted women players from
the Pacific Coast may compete at
Greenwich. Miss Florence Ballin, who
with Miss Marion Zinderstein, the new
on her way back to this city from
Chicago, informed me last week that
Miss Helen Baker and Miss Eleanora
Tennant, two of the most brilliant OF
the Californians. will be East within
the next week or ten days, and Mrs
May Sutton Bundy will arrive a few
days later. With Miss Zinderstein and
Mrs. George W. Wightman, national
titleholder, in the Greenwich draw the
tournament should be classic.
