Miss Zinderstein swung right into her
stride at the start of the match, her
ground strokes having far more snap
and speed than Mrs. Mallory's. The
national champion evidently was nerv-
Gus and was Tubing a majority of her
shots, hitting the net cord and over
driving at other times. The rather stiff
wind seemed to bother her more than
it did Miss Zinderstein.
The defending champion began the
service. Twice she earned her points
on clean service aces. Once the ball
took an unexpectedly high bound, and
Mrs. Mallory made no attempt to cut
in. On the other occasion, the ball,
beautifully placed within an inch of the
center line, eluded the Morse girls
racket entirely.
Boston Girl Breaks Through
The Boston girl broke through her
opponents service in the next game,
Mrs. Mallory broke through in the
third, and then Miss Zinderstein ran
off with the fourth and fifth, leaving
her with a lead of 4--1
The defending champion was playing
almost entirely from back court, and
beating Mrs. Mallory at the latter's
own style of play. Her baekhand was
splendidly strong and finely controlled,
and her heavily topped service contin-
ually worried Mrs. Mallory.
The national champion was plainly
fustered at the way things were going,
and the wind made her cautious about
strokipg her own returns.

came over the match. Twice Mrs. NAL

There was no excuse for the defend

set that might have meant victory in
the end. By winning the eighth game
on Mrs. Mallory's service, giving her
the lead, at SIS, the Bostonian had
her great opportunity in the next
