Throckmorton is getting closer to
his midseason form. He has been
doing lot OF wild stroking since he
came here, but to-day against Wheel
wright. the New Jersey champion, was
exercising better control, while re-
aiming all mis- speed.
Wheelwright is no weakling at the
game, yet he never had real chance
sgainst Throckmorton. The latter
erowded the net consistently, always
eager for deciding smash and ever

fashion.
Miss zinderstein looked very fast and
accurate in her two matches. In the
third round Mrs. Cole made a brilliant
bid for the opening set, holding the
cad in q beautiful driving exchange
from deep court. her severe forehand
