terdsv's senni-fnal matches made that
cert. and incidentally fulfilled the
pred ), On made after the first round of
the eVsnt had been completed on Mon
day. Indications are that victory will
rest with the Boston girl. but indications
are also that Miss Wagner will compel
Miss Zirderstein TO bring all her speed
and rcsourcefulness into play 10 end the
tournament in her favor. Es
Both. ,p'ayed at their best yesterday
in disposing of their seml-final OPP
punents. Miss Zinderstein, as has been
her habit since the start of the event.
won one of her sets at love and the other
with plenty to spare. She faced Mrs.
Rawson Wood, who had shown impress
sive tennis in the earlier rounds ana
was expected to extend the Boston girl.
Such was the speed and versatility with
which Miss Zinderstein attacked, how
ever, that Mrs. Wood found II impossible
to take the aggressive until late in the
match, when the contest practically was
gone beyond recall. Miss Zinderstein. in
wideawake tennis mood. raced all over
the court pressing the attack one moment
at the net and driving deep and sharp
in the next rally blocking and smashing
overhead or meeting drive for drive. and
performing every tennis stunt with equa.
facility. 1t was championship tennis be-
yond a doubt, and it was not surprising
that Mrs. Wood. despite her best efforts.
could not earn single game in the first
set
Late in the second division of play the
Boston girls attack Jagged just bit.
She was more content TO remain near
the base line and Mrs. Wood for the first
time had an opportunity to score. by
playing her returns short down the CEN
tire line Mrs. Wood compelled her rival
to come running in for the ball. AZ
meeting the ball in this fashion on the
half voley Miss Zinderstein did not
prove to be so expert Many of her at
tempts found the net. Mrs. Wood, always
steady. brought the score to 3--5. but
with Miss Zinderstein serving sharp
breaking ball in the next game the set
ended quickly.
Compared to the Miss Zindersten-
Miss Wood match the contest between
Miss Wagner and Mrs. Samuel Waring
was slow principally because both
women elected to make baseline duel
OF Il. The rallies were prolonged but
lacked briIliance. Miss Wagner was not
the steadier but by far the most pro-
sicient in finding openings for place
ment. She was trying for earned points
repeatedly by sharp angling her shots
a. much as safety would allow. while
Mrs. waring seemed content to get the
ball back within bounds. In contrast
to her opponent Miss Wagner injected
speed into her strokes. so that Mrs
Waring was kept on the defensive
with control fairly equal, 1t was fore
gone conclusion that Miss Wagner would
win by a safe margin, and she did'
6--3, 6---1.
Two matches to-day will wind up the
doubles division of the tournament. In
the first to be played this morning Mrs.
candee and Mrs. Wood are to meet
