Miss Browne and Mrs. Bundy played
heir match in steady drlzzle Of rain.
On heavy, slippery court, and IN all
nv experience of attending lawn ten
Ma matches. I cannot recall another
match between women IN which eaeh
was 20 desperately keen TO win, ana
vat where each was animated by such
sulendid spirit of craftsmanship
rom first point TO last.
The quality of the tennis shown wa'
nat of the highest grade of which
sither player is capable, under more
tsvorable conditions, but doub. II
m,ry matches have stirred a gallery
rare than this struggle between TWO
| ii the greatest women players IN this
country. While their every effort was
eentered on winning, neither MISS
Brown nor Mrs Bundy ever lost sight
AZ the fact that it was a game, after
sll. In which they were engaged, and
throughout the three sets each was
generous IN her appreciation OF the
others brilliant shots, while constantly
striving to put over the winning shot'
Marvel of Steadiness
In the opening sat Mrs. Bundy was
marvel of steadiness and accuracy.
backed up by the most powerful sIroA-
ing that have seen by a woman player
ssis season. Her forehand drive,
ksavilv tanned, was the battering ram
behind which she advanced to get to
closer quarters. and so amazingly &C
earate were her ground strokes that
Miss Browne found herself being
forced on the defensive almost from
the start. Venture to the net position
she dared not. for Mrs. Bundy CON
sistently scored on beautiful passing
shots on these occasions.
At the beginning of the second set
Miss Browne had evidently determined
that at the net lay victory, and so she
summoned all her strength and speed
10 gain her volleying position before
her opponent could start rak1ng the
court with her bombardment of fore
hand drives. She ran out the first
three games without hitch, cutting
oil returns by splendid low volieylng
aad sending the BAIL back at sharp
angles into forecourt.
Mrs. Bundy won the fourth and fifth
games and the eighth, as Miss Browne
had lapses Of form, but then the little
San franciscan squared the match by
winning the ninth game for the set, at
5-5
After the rest period before the
third set, Miss Browne was tne quicker
at swinging into her stride and took
tas first three games, volleying with
rare skill as she reached point barely
inside the service court INES. But
Is was evident 10 those wac watched,
that Miss Brownies strength was wan
ing rapidly She was laboring between
every shot and trying TO get a grip en-
Ter nerves Mrs. Bundy as full of
energy and powerful stroking as at
The beginning, apparently, was IN
stantly aware of this weakening on the
part of her opponent, and brought the
iull force of her forehand urives into
effect.
Miss Browns simply could not combat
the hail Of shots that were raSing tssl
sourt, and, being unable to work Per
way to the net with sufficient speed
vas being passed continually. Mrs
Bundy squared the match at Ball, and
then three bitterly fought deuce games
followed, Miss Browne winning the
seventh and Birth and Mrs. Buady the
eighth. 1t was 5-3 then. and Miss
Browne surprised the gallery at this
point by coming through with wl1lri-
wnd brand Of tennis, cutting off Mrs
bundy's returns by brilliant low vol
leys and taking the last game at love
