There were two sensations yesterday
in the women's annual invitation lawn
tennis tournament nj the Heights
Casino of Brooklyn, one being the de.
fau.t Of Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory,
national champion and Ave times VIM
ner of the Casino tourney, and the
ether the surprisingly good fight made
by Miss Martha Bayard. the Short
HIls, \. J., school girl, against Miss
II ron Zinderstcin, of Boston. in the
drsy round. Mrs, Mallorys default was
caused by her injured foot and Miss
Helen Hooker advanced as result
Miss Zinderstein, national doubles
champion and one of the most brilliant
woman plsycrs in this country, de-
feated her young opponent in straight
sets at 6-3, 63, but she had to strug-
Ele for her points, and while there was
never any question as to tn ultimate
result, the match wss a distinct tri-
ymph for Miss Bayard.
As an illustration of just what the
scf ool girl accomplished in winning
SIX games from Miss Zinderstein, |
need only point out that Mrs. Percy
" i!bourn, who met the Boston girl in
the second round, could only get one
game, the sets going at 6-1, 60 In
Il
fact should not be lost sight of that
Miss Zinderstein was improving right
aleng as she grew accustomed to the
conditions, and hence she was playing
better when she faced Mrs. Wilbourn.
notwithstanding. it Y as q great day
for the younger generation.
Reach Semi-Final Round
All the winners in the singles yes
terday went into the round before the
semi-fnal, the survivors being Mrs.
Samuel H. Waring Miss Hooker, Mrs.
David C. Mills, Miss Marie Wagner,
Miss Marion zinderstein, Miss Calnma
Winn. Mrs. Rawson l.. Wood and Mrs.
De Forest Candee, and they will meet
to-day in the above order.
Mrs. Wood gave an impressive ex
her match with Mrs. S. W. FELTON,, of
Boston, who went down before the
local star by a score Of g, Go.
Rarely in a match does one see better
control shown than that OF Mrs. Wood
as she sent her fore and back hand
drives skimming low over the net and
straight for the lines.
Mrs FELTON, found it absolutely i'm
possible to reach within striking dis.
tance of the net without suffering the
penalty of being passed on dazzling

champion, and when Mrs. Wood went
70 the net herself it was to finish off
her points by taking the ball on the
full volley about shoulder high. as
Ms. Mallory does. 1t is surprising
what fine speed Mrs Wood can put on
he ball on her ground strokes. when
he slender physique is considered.
Perfect timing Of the shot IS largely
responsible.
Mrs. Candee in Hard Match
Mrs. Candee had q real struggle on
er hands in her match against Mrs.
Bernard F. Stenz, not being able TO
claim the victory until the sets had
gone TO 11-9, GO. As was the case
on the opening day. Mrs. Candee did
not get into her full stride until the
second set, whom she started to storm
the net and cut off returns that had
previously escaped the sweep OF Der
racquet.
Mrs. Stem made bitter fight in tbs
first set. running the games to Gall
before Mrs. Candee, taking the aggces-
sive, broke through and won the last
two games. Up 10 that point Mrs
Stenz had relied upon beautifully
placed and timed lobs TO the base line
to keep the former Casino champion
away from the net, realizing Mrs. Can
dee's ability to kill the ball when dose
10 the barrier.
A dozen times at least these obs
caught Mrs. Candee out of position. and
