winner OF the annual invitation tennis
tournament now In progress on the in
door courts of the Brooklyn Club Heed
ing the advice of her physician, she de-
faulted her second round match yester-
day because of an infected toe, thereby
leaving Miss Marion Zinderstein of Bos-
ton second in national rank, the logical
favorite in the tournament. Mrs. Nal
lory could have given good account OF
herself despite the injury, but the effort
undoubtedly would have aggravated the
infection and would seriously have I'M
paired her chances in the national in
door championship early next month
With the titleholder out of the event,
the most likely hnalsts are Miss Marie
Wagner in the upper half and Miss
Marion Zinderstein in the lower. The
latter, having arrived day late, PLAYED

in the meantime Miss Martha Bayard OF
Short Hills gave her an interesting time
Of II. The Boston girl found II difficult
to control her service and defaulted nine
times during the match. In addition TO

Profiting by the errors and getting every
thing back that was anywhere within
reach, Miss Bayard held her own for
six games of each set the score being

Of play Miss Zinderstein managed to
steady her strokes by taking fewer
chances at the net, and a break through
the Jersey girls service in the eighth
game Of each set decided it in her favor.

day in a second round match with Mrs.
Percy Wilbourn. Her game had stead
led remarkably by that time and she
kept her strokes within bounds, despite
the boldest sort OF tactics. She was up
at the net In most of the rallies volley-
ing beautifully. while from deep court
her drives were crisp and precise. Al
though Mrs. Wilbourn played well de-
fensively the best she could do was to
win a single game out of thirteen con-
tested In the third round to-day Miss
