and backhand shots to all parts OF

Thayer had the Monumental city
entry love Eve games before losing
her first one.

shows how greatly the Philadel-
phian outclassed her opponent. In
both sets Miss Thayer ran up a total
OF % points apiece. while Miss Cott-
man got but IA in the first and l3
in the second. The third game OF
the match was a love for the win

made the weather more bearable
than yesterday. The point score
