New-York tribune., 1921-03-20

fne Longwood Club, at Chestnut Hill
Ii was an impressive, stunning VIC
tory particularly to those who believed
Mrs. Cole, the local star, might per-
hans cause sensation by defeating
Ms. Mallory. Getting only five points
IN. the first set, and each Of those en-
her opponents errors, Mrs. Cole was
completely overwhelmed by the New
York girls tremendous speed and mar
velous placing.
In the second set the Longwood
nIsyer did bit better, winning the
second and fifth games, and forcing
three Of them to deuce. but all the way
through it was evident that she did not
have q chance against the brand of
lawn tennis Mrs. Mallory was playing
to-day.
Winner Shows Best Game
y Not in several years have seen the
NATIONAL champion in such splendid
form. She is not as tireless nor quite
80 speedy in covering her court at
present as she was FIVE or six years
ago which is natural, but you will
rarely see greater accuracy Of stroke

woman player than Mrs. Mallory
showed us this afternoon.
As their favorite was borne down 20
swift and decisive defeat the loyal Bos-
ton crowd sat amazed and stunned, as
have said, and there was little ap-
olsuse for the brilliancy of the new
Indoor champions game. 1t was not
until after the match was over and the
recent rivals were shaking hands over
the net that those in the gallery awoke
from their stupor and paid Mrs. NAL
lory the tribute that had been held
back before.
In the mixed doubles, paired with
William T. Tilden I'd, of Philadelphia,
match by defeating Mrs. George w.
Wightman and Richard Norris Will
Kams I'd, of Boston, in straight sets
it 60, GA, much to the surprise of
the spectators. Here Tilden, the
worlds singles champion, was the shin
ing star of the match, covering tre-
lnendous amount of court and reeling
OF shots that brought enthusiastic ap-
plause from the seats.
In the final round of the women's
doubles Mrs ightman and Miss Marion
zinderstein defeated Mrs. Mallory and
Mrs. Lewis Gouverneur Morris in
keenly fough~ match, the sets going at
as, 7-5, and thus ended the most
Successful and most efficiently conduct
ed women's indoor tournament in the
history Of the national title tourney.
Mrs. Cole Held Helpless
Mrs. Mallory began with the service
IN the singles, with Julian S. Myrick,
president Of the u. s. L. r. A., in the
umpire's chair and, full set of lines
ren at their appointed places. Mrs.
Cole, who had been making a sensation
IN all her previous matches by the ex-
cessive amount of pace she put into
her forehand drives, found herself
practically helpless against the almost
fswless play of Mrs. Mallory. She
could not stroke the ball in her usual
aggressive style, for the simple reason
that her opponents remarkable skill at
placing either directly on or close to
the lines forced Mrs. Cole to be con-
tinually reaching out for her shots.
In the entire first set Mrs. Mallory
made only FIVE errors-three nets, one
out and one ouble-fault-while Mrs.
Cole. hurried in all her shots, piled up
total of twenty-one errors in the six
games
There were times, of course, when
the l0ngwood player ripped over fore

With speed and added TO this accuracy
that was positively uncanny.
In the second set Mrs. Mallory let

the result that the local star man
aged to get two games and force the
score to deuce several times. But there
vas never moment wheil you did not
leel that the national champion could
end matters when she chose. She never

The seventh game in this set was the
most bitterly fought of the entire
match, the points reaching deuce six
times before Mrs. Mallory won, max

aext she rushed ahead to an inspiring
triumph.
Fine Work in Mixed Doubles
The mixed doubles brought out some
spectacular racquet work by all four
