nual invitation tournament in mems
and women's singles was brought into
the round before the semi-hnals this
afternoon on the splendid turf courts
of Seabright Lawn Tennis and Cricket
Club. The same advance was made in
the doubles IN both events.
In this day of many matches and
spirited play. there were only two or
three results thai could be regarded
as upsets. S. Howard Voshell was de-
feated by Dean Mathey, of New York,
at 3~6. 6-3, Go. Miss Margaret
Grove vanquished Mss Helen Gilleau-
deau by a score of 6--3, 1t, 10 and
Miss Martha .Bayard conquered Miss
Edith Sigcurney, Of Boston, by mar
gin thac was narrow, but no less eff
fective, 6-3, 2-6, S-6.
Mrs Marion Zinderstein Jessup CON
quered Mrs. May Sutton Bundy al g.,
Is. playing with rare courage when
she was in imminent danger CT losing
the second set as she trailed at 3-5
and o--4O in the score Had Mrs.
Bundy succeeded in squaring the match
at this stage she stood an excellent
chance of winning. for Mrs Jcssup
was tiring and might not have been
able to withstand another hard set.
Mrs Molla Bjurstedt Mallory, the
national champion, engaged in a stir
ring deep court driving duel with Mrs.
Benjamin E. Cole, of the Longwood
Cricket Club of Boston, winning by a
score of e, ca. This was a battle
founded on speed and hard hitting,
with both players reeling off splendid
forehand drives.
Miss Browne Wins Easily
Miss Mary K. Browne. OF California,
kept the Pacific Coast brand OF tennis
to the fore by overw helming the steady
playing Mrs. Robert Leroy at 6-1,
So. Miss Brow---. appears TO have
two weeks ago All her shots were
coming off beautifully and she liter
ally smothered her opponents returns
by aggressive overhead and volleying
attacks
Miss Eleanor Goss took her match
from Miss Phyllis Walsh, Of Philadel-
phia. handily, the sets going at SO,
6-4, and once again the West Side
Tennis Club girl demonstrated that she
is I'D to her best form. Her ground
strokes are second to those Of no other
woman player in this country in speed
and pace. and her service is quite the
most severe of the courts among the
fairer sex. Tomorrow Miss Goss will
face little Miss Helen Wills, of Cali
forna, the fifteen yearold prodigy
The California schoolgirl triumphed
over Miss Ceres Baker, OF East Orange,
by q score of e.. 6-4 to-day, and a
goodly portion of the gallery switched
over from the grandstand 10 watch
these Two juniors in action. Miss Wills,
as she becomes accustomed to the grass
courts, is improving daily. Her over
head play is executed with such cool
ness and crispness, even though she
frequently threw points away to-day
by & bit Of ca.elessness, that Miss
Baker grew CAUTIOUS about Offering her
opponent anything except low drives
and volleys.
Another for Miss Bancroft
Miss Leslie Bancroft, Of the Long
wood Cricket Club, continued her
progress toward the final round by de-
cisiTely defeating Mrs. Edward V.
Lynch Of New York, at 6-1, %. Her
ground strokes, low and we'll controlled
had SO much speed that Mrs. Lynch
was often caught shy OF position, and
Miss Bancroft also acquitted herself
we'd when she had the opportunities to
finish matters at the net
Miss Grove played the best tennis of
her career in the first set against Miss
Gilleaudeau, racing n from her base
line to cut of returns from inside the
service court lines, and the angles she
put on these shots had Miss Gilleau-
deau in difficulties continually.
In the second set the drives that
Miss Gilleaudeau had not been able
TO place sufficiently deep in the oppo-
