~ l1-9, 1i-9, in one semi-fnal match
This morning. Voshell gained his place
over Samuel Hardy, OF New York, by
default, after Hardy led at IS, Sd,
on games and needed only two points
for the match.
Il was an exhibition of splendid
spor.smanship on Hardy's part. but

Miss BalIin Meets Defeat
Miss Zinderstein defeated Miss Flor
ence Ballin, of the West Side Tennis
Club, by score of e., 6-1, in the
semi-inal bracket this morning. In
the other semi-tinal match Miss Sigour-
ney triumphed over Mrs. Benjamin F.
Briggs. of the Pelham Country Club,
BY score of 6-3, 60.

3. B. Bidwell, at Cd. 6-3, and over

Mrs. Briggs and Miss Gertrude Della
Tore fought their way into one of the
final brackets in the womens doubles
! by defeating Mrs. De Forest Candee
and Miss Ballin at 6-4, 2-6, 7-5. 1t
was only by most spectacular uphill
battle, when they were trailing at O-5
on games in the third set. that Mrs.
Briggs and Miss Della Torre carried off
the honors, reeling off seven games in
arrow.
1t did not seem possible to accom-
piish such task against two such ex-
perienced players as Mrs. Candee and
Miss Ballin. but it was done, and the
taiiery gave the winning pair a great
tribute of applause as they left the
court.
Miss Zinderstein and Miss Helen
GiIleaudeau reached the other final
bracket by decisive victory over Miss
|, Sigourney and Miss Leslie Bancroft,
the sets going at 6-1, 60.
The most spectacular tennis of the
week of play was flashed in the Tilden-
fhrockmorton match. Here was a duel
between two players of the same school,
both men makers of spectacular spots,
both tremendous "getters" and furious
mashers and keen volleyers. I do not
recall match within the last six
months that has been so filled with
thrills. If it was not Tilden then it
ns rockmorton who was bringing
od the most amazing shots, and a very
large and enthusiastic gallery was kept
busy applauding both men.
