itself up yesterday.
And as fate would have it, three of
the best matches of the whole tilt were
staged at this final session in the pres

They should have been played on Sat

plan, much to the disappointment Of
those who were Unable to be on hand
yesterday.
Surprises ruled the day. there being
two startling upsets and one clash that
came very close to being the biggest jolt
of the session. The victory of Mrs.
Gilbert Harvey and Mrs. NJ. p. Huff in
the final for the women's doubles cham
pionship was the feature contest, as
their opponents, Miss Anne Townsend,
Of Merton, the Delaware state singles
champion, and Miss Molly Thayer. Of
the Cricket Club, the new pennsylvania
state title holder, were regarded as
odds on favorites.
But after winning the first set rather
handily by Ga, Miss Townsend and
Miss Thayer seemed to fade away, while
Mrs. Harvey and Mrs. Huff improved
with every game. Mrs. Huff had been
playing we'll from the beginning, but
she hit up an even faster pace in the
second frame, while Mrs. Harvey, who
was erratic at first, settled down and
they hammered their way to victory in
both that and the third set, taking the
latter by the wide margin of 6-1 and
carrying off the title by two sets to one.
