BY SAMUEL J. pRoonMAN.

Miss Florence Bailin mede Yaliant
attempt to retain her title of New Jersey
tennis champion at the Euglewood Field
Club yesterday. but after a tussle that
required nearly three hours for compile
tion had to acknowledge defeat at the
hands OF Mrs Robert LIE Roy. 1t was
as hard fought Il base line diel as has
been contested between women players
this season the Y..i'ics averaging more
than ten strokes FOR a point and on
many occasions reaching beyond twenty.
There was plenty Of speed behind the
coep court driving on both sides OF the
net. but In the main the women played
safe. and it was case of a contestant
who was steady for half the match
being beaten by ono whose control never
deserted her. The score was 81, Is,
c..
The first two sets found Miss Balin
the aggrcssor and inclined TO take more
chances than her opponent. While in
control OF her stroke Miss Ballin's effort
at playing the lines was successful for
she not only took the second set by a
comfortable II argin but was very close
TO earning the first, which ran sixteen
games. Errors at critical points cost
matters turned out deprived her of an
opportunity of winning in straight sets.
When II came to q test of endurance
and steadiness In the deciding division
Of play Mrs. lie Roy proved to have
far more in reserve and she took Elk
out of eight games. Toward the end
both players were relying almost en-
tirely on coaxing one, another into er-
rors, not on earning points. They were
both covering a lot of ground, deep
court. but Mrs. lie Roy was getting
everything back and Miss BALM was
not.

weeks for Mrs. lie Roy over Miss Ballin
