a storm was brewing during the early
hours OF the day, and neither Miss
Sigourney nor Miss Townsend seemed
able to play accurately either against or
with the heavy wind Miss Sigourney
steadied down n little during her second
set with Mrs. Mallory. after losing the
first one. e--3. and PLAYED her back court
drives with more confidence than she had
displayed ir the earlier set, but even
the second. SCI was not as Interesting rs
the to result would indicate.
A Quick Victory.
Miss Zinderstein had her match with
Miss Townsend well in hand at all
stages. and II was ell over in about
forty minutes Given asttll day Miss
Townsend probably would have made n
far better Showing against Miss Zin-
dersten's hard driving game. but under
the conditions she was hopeiessly out
played from the start, Miss Zinderstein
allowing her only one game in the first
set and two in the second.
In the mems se1ni-finals Wallace
.Tohnson's stock took q stump when he
failed at the outset. and Nosheil's swift
and dangerous service was seen TO be
behaving in most obedieut manner.
Voshell took five of the first six games
and then Johnson seemed suddenly to
gain control OF his chop stroke and a.
lowed Vosheil a total OF Just two points
in the next four games. This brought
the set to deuce, and although Voshell
finally pulled 1t out OF the fire. TO. i
was done with an expenditure of energy
that left him plainly tired, robbed his
service. his greatest asset, OF its
way for Johnson's ultimate victory at
81, CO, 60. Voshel secured only II
points in the last set, as against g for
johnson.
Throckmorton's slashing style OF play
was well suited to the windy conditions
or rather the wind did not trouble him
to nearly the same extent that it wor-
ried Kumagae In their semi-final match,
and were It not for the Japanese's cool
-. 10 f1t,
might have had a different ending, for
young Throclmorton was right on the
top Of his game
1t took Tbrockrnorton couple OF
games to locate the boundary lines and
get the range OF the net. and Kurnagae
took these two in quick succession. max
ing q love game of the first and allowing
Throciunorton only two points In the
second. But after that the rest OF the
set was all Throckmorton and he won
II by 6 games to 2.
Best Played Set.
Kumsgae got away to good start
again in the second set, winning the first
three games, but was hard put to it at
the end TO win by 6---4. The third and
deciding set was the best 50 far played
during the week. Throckmorton, be-
ginning to tire, was Brnashing just as
VlClOuSly ds ever out with NsS anu lrSS
certainty as the set proceeded, and al
though he had the upper hand near the
end, at 5--4 and 3O-love. Kumagae
brought the crucial game to deuce, won
II, allowed Throckmorton only one point
in the advantage game and took the set
and the match when, after gaining the
first point In the twelfth game Throck-
morton lost with an out and an almost
unbelievable sequence Of three double
faults
Mrs. Mallory went down TO her first
defeat OF the week in the semi-finals OF
the women's doubles when she and Mrs.
Fullerton Weaver were defeated, e-4
6--4, By Miss Zinderstein and Miss ST.
