ht",ch n big gallery was present
S,n niS nlav began. The. matrh was
Wneu Wa on a perfect turf court, sur,
plas.JLd bv net work Of gaily colored
rouuuI rons,Ios and womcn's gowns. Most
utHU .hnse nrcspnt realized that MISS
T Ir,ish rcally had very little chance
,so;,st the Boston star. but as " 'urneu
hsa'nL Lo would have done much better
oul ou,iI sho herself been in better form,
W;ss Iinderstcin took the net very
~, H and when she did she was not
s.,u .,r ne accurate and deadly as she
Ise't hoon IN some Of the earlier matches
AZ thc tournament.
OF ,m ~ ,hrongh tournament Miss Walsh
.,s had n tendency to be very wild on
n"oosions and today sent far more balls
w., ~ rho court and into the net than
she should have.
In alI. Miss Walsh made sixty-two
.-rore In thp two scts. which easily ar-
counts for her overwhelming defeat.
Tho worst part of it was that the
orrors hy Miss Walsh were not those
In which she was forced to run TAR
Tor 'rets." but easy chances. Her
i manner was rather lackadaisical and 1t
nnnearcd to the gallery that after the
Srst set she realized that she had no
.bance and virtually quit trying.
Miss Iindcrstpin had twenty five
srrors. which is more than she usually
has in such n short match. This match.
hy the way, was played in almost record
time for final, only twenty minutes
being consumed.
The name Of Iindcrstpin seems to in
,nrp the fear of certain defeat in the
rlayprs here. 1t was noticeable fea-
,urp Of several matches yesterday, in
which Miss Xinderstein took part that
when the ball was hit directly Mt her
the opposing player virtually conceded
tho point by not trying for the ball.
probably on the theory that if Miss
Zndcrstpin hit it it must be good for a
point But that. Of course. is fallacy
and costly one. Several times in the
semiRnals doubles Mrs. Mills had
chances 10 make returns. but appar-
emily because it was Miss Tinderstein
who hit them she made no attempt to
get near the ball, when she might easily
have done SO.
Tho final match in the doubles WIS
not much Of battle. Miss Tinderstein
and Miss Sigourney outplaying Miss
Porter and Miss Bancroft all the way.
However. Philadelphia tennis followers
should he proud of the fine work that
Miss Porter. who is a very young and
very recent star on the tennis horizon,
has done in the present tournament.
She made hard fight with Miss Ban
croft. but the odds were too great. Miss
Zndcrstein and Miss Sigourney know
too much and knew too well how to get
the points when needed. In this match
as well as in the semifnals this morn
ing, Miss Xinderstein was not nearly
up to her standard. Her volleying was
poor compared to what she is capable
OF doing. No doubt the fact that she
had played one singles match and two
.'uuNN n'Ior' pay lnE IlF HHdIS III
doubles bad something TO do with her
falling Of in form. still she began to
show signs of erratic play early in the
DAY matches. The point score follows :

In the scmiiinal round Of the doubles.
Miss Mary Law aud Mrs. J. y. Pew,
DR., both Of Merton put up Il fine
game against Miss Porter and Miss
bancroft. AT one time it seemed that
inc Merton pair would surely win. hut
}ust at this stage of/the match, Miss
bancroft brought one of her wicked
,eit' handed drives that threw the Main
LINERS of their balance and eventually
lost the match for them. The scores
