MISS BROWNE LOSES
ONE SET AT TENNIS
Rallies in Time, However, to
Reach N. Y. State Final
Meets Mrs. Bundy.
BY SAMUEL J. BRooKMAN.

1t remained for Miss Helen Gilleau-
deau Of Ardsley to rurnisn the first BIT
Of a sensation in the womens New York
State tennis championship at the Crcs-
cent Athletic Club yesterday. She took
everybody by surprise by outplaing Miss
Mary X. Browne Of California in the
first set OF their semi-final match. and
a well earned set 1t was Showing re-
markable control. anticipating with rare
Judgment and making all sorts OF star
tling recoveries, Miss GilIeaudeau out
steadied the former national champion
and took the set at 6--3.
Under torrid sun, however, 1t was
too fast a pace for Miss Gileaudeau to
maintain. She had to slacken her ef-
forts considerably in the second set. and
then 1t was that Miss Browne, taking
the aggressive, shar pangling her shots
as far as safety would permit and
bringing all her speed, change of pace
and versatility into play, turned the
tables and won the match at 3--6, 60,
6--3. La.
Mrs. May Sutton Bundy came through
In the other semi-final. winning more
easily than had been expected from
Mrs. c. v. Hitchins of Mexico City.
The score was 81, Go. Mrs. Hitchns
made an auspicious start. earning the
first half dozen points Of the match,
but thereafter, although she forced
many of the games to deuce, she was
unable to add to her games total, drop
ping twelve in row. The match found
the former national champion at her
best. Her control was unshakable and
she appeared to gain speed and daring
with every game. Mrs Hitchins. on
the other hand, wilted under the relent-
less sun and had very little left at the
end. Her chop stroke. which had baf-
fled her earlier opponents in the tour
nament, proved no enigma to Mrs.
Bundy, who timed her drives we'll
Mrs. Hitchins contributed numerous err
rors on returns into the net and on the
whole was unsteady at critical points.
Mrs. Bundy faces Miss Browne in the
final round at p NJ this afternoon
and the closest kind Of a tussle is in
prospect. The winner will play Miss
Marie Wagner in the challenge round
tomorrow afternoon.
