Californian Draws Galleries
1t seems inevitable (such is the magic
of reputation) that whenever a Cali
fornian appears in tournament in the
East the galleries will flock to that
match, and it was so yesterday when
Miss Tenant took the court against
| Mrs. De Forest Candee in the third
round.
To set it down that Miss Tenant
won at 81, 6-1, is not telling half
the story, for the figures give no indi
cation of the really splendid fight that
Mrs. Candee made against the cool,
deadly play of this latest star from the
golden West. A majority of Miss
Tenants opponents since the visitor
arrived in the East have gone on the
court already beaten, mentally, before
the match began, but Mrs. Candee did
not make this mistake.
There were many times when she
threw away points on simple shots,
when she had the whole range of the
court for gill; but this~was through
over-anxiety, and nothing else. There
were several stirring rallies, during
which Mrs Candee earned applause by
bringing off brilliant shots in difficult
situations, showing that the West Side
girl was trying all the time.
1t is difficult as yet to gauge the
real strength of Miss Tenants game,
for so far no one has been able TO
really extend her, although Mrs. Candee
came closer to it yesterday than any
of those who have tried and failed at
Greenwich and at Forest Hills We will
not actually see the California girl with
her back against the wall" until she
faces Miss Goss in the semi-fnal round
or Miss Zinderstein in the final.
But yesterday Miss Tennant was very
good when she had to be. She
appeared to have something in reserve
all the time, and when Mrs Candee
came charging for the net, to engage
in spirited rallies, the Californian wa.
always there with the shot that wa.
most suitable to the occasion She
handles ball overhead much in tn
manner of Mrs. Wightman, which i.
praise enough. Several of the game.
Went to deuce" and the points wer,
hard fought.
Miss Zinderstein Plays Well
Miss Zinderstein, who has twice de
feated Miss Tennant this month in tn,
Middle West, came through yesterda,
by taking the measure of Mrs. B. +
Cole, of Boston, by score of SIS
50, and she looked very formidable
in victory. The national clay cour
champion was hitting hard and accu
rately, and covered her court with re
markable speed and her aggressive. ac
curate volleying was a delight to watch
Miss Goss defeated Miss Phylh.
Walsh, of Philadelphia, by a score o.
G-3, 60, and was playing with al
her old speed of stroke and severity
although | do not think she was quite
as accurate in her strong volleyine
from mid court, being Bit SLOW in
gong Tor the net position, which
tended to hurry her shots at times.
Mrs. lie Roy had desperate battle
on her hands when she faced Mrs
Rawson L. Wood, former champion OF
Florida, and although she finally won
1t was only after Mrs Wood had been
compelled to default in the third set
alter getting severe muscle cramr
IN her arm, so that she could not hold
her racquet. The score was 6-3
o-8, 2-1 (default).
In the first set Mrs. Le Roy tricke d
her opponent by playing a soft strok-
ing game from deep court, and Mrs.
Wood fell into the trap and followed
suit, at which style Of play she vas
no match for her rival In the second
set, however, Mrs. Wood regained
control and began TO stroke" the
ball, ripping beautiful low drives
through court and Following in for
brilliant low volleys. Mrs LIE Row. a
'dete ermlned fighter. went after every-
thing, but after sail in games Mrs.
Wood broke through and took the set
at 8-6 Only three games had been
played in the third when the match
ha> to be stopped because of Mrs.
