SHdi4ei5e IOuHu Oh the women 5 new
York State tennis championship yes
: terday. The superb tennis shown by
Y Miss Mary X. Browne of California In
winning the final from Mrs May SUIT
4 ton Bundy on Friday had strengthened
the conviction that Miss Marie Wag-
ner, title holder, could not hope to
cope with her successfully, and so it
proved on the turf courts of the Cres-
cent Athletic Club yesterday. when
Miss Wagner was forced to relinquish
her championship in straight sets,
6-3. 6--3.
In the opening set. Miss Wagner was
out in front by a score of to l before
the coast girl reused herself. but once
aroused she came thorugh impressively
winning five games in a row in short
order. Then In the second set after she
had gone out into lead of al. Miss
Wagner rallied and brought the score to
Sail. Again Miss Browne felt the time
had arrived for little more aggressive
ness and suiting action to the thought
she forced the attack. cauht Miss Wag-
ner out Of position in the rallies and took
the next three games ever so easily 1t
: was decidedly short match.

; 1t may be said for Miss Wagner that
abe played skilfully, showed some splen-
+ did passing shots at times and on the
4 whole outsteadied the girl from the Pa
4 cific coast. But she could not cover
I court with anything like the agility of
! her opponent nor could she force the
\ attack when ever she needed a point
badly. She had to depend entirely on
the accuracy of her strokes and on the
errors of her opponent. Miss Browne
fobliged with quite a number of errors
early in each set but they were scarce
at the important stages.
81 The doubles title also changed hands
when Miss Wagner and Miss Clare Cas-
Z sci were beaten straight sets by Mrs.
May Sutton Bundy and Mrs. c. v.
4 Hitchins In the championship round,
which followed the singles match. The
nncontest was spirited from start to finish,
4 marked by spectacular recoveries, hard
hitting and the always sparkling ele-
ment of volleying. Mrs. Bundy DOM
mated the match throughout. Her deep
s.court drives carried plenty OF sting and
= were always under splendid control.
She raced all over the court. getting
shots that looked far out of reach, plac-
ing we'll and furnishing opportunities
for Mrs. Hitchins to block at the net.
ssYt Second Set Is Close.
saia Miss Cassel was not as steady as
3 usual. She netted the ball often at i'm
,portant stages and her strokes lacked
their customary decisiveness. Miss wag-
ner played well. but did not have the
speed to protect her side of the court.

which they took at 6-3, but in the Sec
ond. thanks TO some fine sharp angled
, volleys by Miss Wagner and period of
iunsteadiness on Mrs Hitchins's part, the
score went to ALI. Mrs. Bundy and
Mrs. Hitchins had to go at top speed in
the next two games, but they won Them
both. and with them the set and match.
The match began on an outside court
far removed from the grandstand, where
The largest gallery of the week had
gathered chiefly to see Miss Browne in
action. II was rather a strange move
on the part of the tournament commit
tee, but was explained by the fact that
both courts in the grandstand area were
) occupied at the time, one by a semi
final in the mems New York sectional
4 doubles championship and the other by
an exhibition doubles in which Robert
and Howard Kinsey, the Pacific coast
] champions, opposed Vincent Richards,

battle practically all the way. marked
by some OF the best tennis of the day.
The teams played at top speed and the
rallies were we'll sustained despite the
