As had been anticipated, the Mrs.
Mallory Mrs Bundy tussle furnished
the best tennis of the tournament.
skill, and the first set, in which neither
at any time held a lead of more than
one game, proved that fact conclu-
sively
But when it came to a test of STAN
ina the balance weighed heavily on
Mrs Mallory's side, and it was endur-
ance alone, nothing else, that won for
her. Mrs. Bundy put everything she
had into whirlwind first set, and
placed it to her credit by the most
aggressive sort of attack and the hard
est sort of stroking, but it left her
weak in the second, in which she could
do no better than win two games.
The rest between the second and
third sets refreshed Mrs. Bundy a BIT,
but after taking two Of the first three
games Of the final set she had to slow
down considerably, and Mrs. Mallory,
as strong as ever, came through to a
6-3 victory.
Earlier in the day Miss Gilleaudeau
bad come very close to winning the
first set of her fourth round match
with Mrs. Mallory, thanks to her
steadiness and speed in covering court,
but the national champion had come
through decisively in the second set
and had clearly established her supe-
riority, the score ending Is, 81.
Mrs. Jessup was far from her best
in her semi-fnal with Mrs Leroy. She
lacked speed and failed to come up to
the net for her usually effective vol
leying.
At deep court driving Mrs. Leroy
had no trouble holding her own. In
fact she was several times within
point Of the first set before. Mrs.
JSoSup lNdfly broke through IN the
twenty game. Mrs. Jessup had
been outplaying her rival so that the
latter had to cover twice as much
ground. 1t left Mrs. Leroy so tired
in the second set that Mrs. Jessup was
able to end it quickly at 6-1.
The first two teams to reach the
semi-fnal round in the doubles cham
pionship were Miss Leslie Bancroft
and Miss Phyllis Walsh and Miss Mar
