moment, but must maintain her game
at its highest level from start to
finish. Mrs. Mallory's wonderful skill
at placing her shots and her superb
courage in critical situations will per-
nit Of no faltering on the part Of an
opponent. May the best woman win.
From the time the first ball was
struck Mrs. Mallory looked the winner
all over against Miss Pollak and, seem
ing to realize this, the great Morse girl
played with something of the happy
abandon and flashing brilliance of for
mer days. Miss Pollak could only
make her fight from near the base line
and although she did the best she
could it was not good enough to offset
the stronger, speedier attack of her
opponent.
The indoor champion soon discovered
that it was the height Of folly to even
try to work her way to the net posi-
ton, for she is practically without a
volleNing game, and Mrs. Mallory
driving was so accurate that Miss Pol
lax was continually being caught out
Of position as the ball shot by her.
Puts Up Game Fight
Mrs. Mallory began the service, won
the first game and then dropped the
next two, her own errors and a streak
of very fine forehand drives by Miss
at this stage "Marvelous Molla" swung
into her stride and reeled off the next
five games In q row, the last two at
love, giving her the set at 60.
Miss Pollak is not one of those play
ers to give up without a struggle, and
in the second set she proved that she
has acquired a backnand stroke during
the present season by the clever man.
ncr in which she met vicious attacks
in this quarter. The second, fifth and
eighth games went to the indoor cham
pion, but that was all, for Mrs. Mallory
knew no restraining hand from deep
court or at the net, and took the Sec
ond set at 6~3, giving her the match.
Miss Zinderstein was opposed by
far more versatile opponent in Miss
fdently and capably, even though she
began the match by serving a double
fault and lost the Opening game with
a similar error on the final point.
Miss Zinderstein Rallies
After this inauspicious beginning,
the little clay court title holder set
of the next six games by accurate, ag-
gressive volleying and fine severity
overhead. Trailing at 2-5, Miss Goss
won her own service game in the
eighth, by the aid of several effective
vo.leys, but then Miss Zinderstein
finished the set by taking the ninth
game.
They increased the race in the sec
ond set, and there were many stirring
rallies from inside the service court
lines. Miss Goss went into a lead of
81, her overhead game improving
noticeably, and it looked as though
she might square the match if she
could maintain the pace. But Miss
Zlndcrstein, as though spurred on by
the situation, started whirlwind at
tack from mid-court, winning five out
of the last six games, and winning the
second set at Cd, for the match
In the doubles Miss Zindcrstein and
Miss Goss pulled out their match after
Mrs. Wightman and Mrs. Mallory had
established a lead Of Al in the last
set. 1t was mainly Miss Zindcrstein's
steadiness and speeding up that
brought the champions through, with
Miss Goss doing her full share Of the
work in thrilling rallies. Mrs. Wight
man tired and Mrs. Mallory lost CON
troll at the same time, and so a good
match was won and lost.
