Joseph r. Carpenter ir., chairman of
The tournament committee, assisted BY
Joseph J. Brown, Joseph w Wear and
others, made the draw for the women 8
and girls singles this afternoon at the
clubhouse, and the list of entries in
sures one of the greatest championship
Journeys ever taken part in bv women.
Mrs. Mallory in Upper Half
The record number of seventy-six
was drawn in the senior event, with
Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory, of the
West Side Tennis Club, three times a
former holder of the national cham
pionship, and Miss Eleanor Tenant, of
California, one of the most brilliant of
Che PACIFIC Coast stars, drawn in the
upper half of the draw. Miss Tenant
plays Miss Caroma VIM, of New York,
in the first round, and then, If she
plays to form, should reach out into
The round before the semi-final, where
Mrs Mallory should block her path.
Marvellous Moiia" drew a bye in
che opening round and her first match
will be against Miss Rene E. Christv,
Of the Point Judith Country Club In
the fourth bracket Mrs. Mallory should
face either Miss Helen Baker, another
Of the great California group; Miss
Marguerite Davis, of St. Paul, or Miss
Corinne Gould, of St. Louis, former
national clay court champion.
Other strong contenders in this half
are Miss Helene Polak. of New York,
former national indoor and middle
states title holder: Miss Edith Sigour-
ney, Of the Longwood Cricket Club;
Mrs. Ream Leachman, of California;
Miss Phyllis Walsh, of Philadelphia;
Miss Evelyn Seavey, Of Kansas City,
and Miss Anne B. Townsend, Of
Philadelphia.
Mrs. Mallory's most dangerous rival
for the national title this year should
be Miss Marion Zinderstein, Of the
Longwood Cricket Club of Boston, who
Is down near the bottom of the lower
half Of the draw. Maid Marion"
ought not to encounter any serious cp-
position until she gets into the fourth
round, where she may meet either Mrs
Benjamin F. Briggs, of the Pelham
Country Club; Miss Clare Cassel, Of
OF Longwood, or Mrs. VI. B. Huff, Of
Philadelphia. all of whom are, grouped
in this section
In the upper section Of the lower
half is Mrs. Gilbert S. Harvey, Of the
Philadelphia Cricket Club. who has
been supreme in Philadelphia circles
for several years, althogh this season,
owing to an injury to her leg, she lost
her title Of Philadelphia district cham
p1on. Mrs. Harvey, who gained a high
ranking last season, Is one of those
sterling players who never comedies
defeat until the final point is finished.
Her ground strokes are of the sound
est and her court generalship Of high
standard
Mrs. Harvey's opponent in the first
round will be Mrs. Robert lie Roy, of
the West Side Tennis Club, one of the
most reliable of the New York cor
tingent, and we'll qualified to extend
Mrs Harvey to the limit at deep court
driving. Just below these two stars
are Mrs. Edward V. Lynch, Mrs. De
Forest Candee and Miss Eleanor Goss
all Of New York.
Miss Goss In Lower Brackets
Miss Goss, No. on the ranking list
last season. should go straight through
to the semi-fnal bracket, to face Miss
Zinderstein. In the upper half, the
semi-fnalists should be Mrs. Mallory
and either Miss Pollak or Miss Sig
Quincy, and SO, when 1t comes to the
Snal round struggle for the crown
now worn By Mrs. George W. Wight
man, Of Boston, who will not defend
her honors in the singles, the opposing
either Miss Zinderstein or Miss Goss
and favor Miss Zinderstein as Mrs
Aallory's opponent in the champion
ship test
IL Is quite within reason to believe
that Miss Tenant, who has shown
steady improvement in every tourna'
Ment she has played in since coming
East, may spring the great sensation
OF the week by vanquishing Mrs. NAL
lory in the fifth round, but do not ex-
,pset this, unless Miss Tenant should
strike rare streak of tennis on that

from the Golden West" where she Ii
rated ss one Of the very best, has mo-
yet had a fair chance 10 prove hel

turf courts, and she has not yet becomt
Familiar with the softer surface. In al
