in the opposite half The Tournament
after three rounds of play has reached
the interesting stage, and every match
from now on ought to be worth going
far to see.
The meeting between the sixteen
year-old Pacific Coast champion and
Mrs. Mallory should be particularly in

best tennis Of her career right now.
Mrs. Mallory in Form
There was good reason for surprise
yesterday when Mrs. Mallory breezed
through two sets with Miss Marguerite
Davis, OF ST. Paul, without the loss of
game, for not only does the latter
rate the best of the players in the
Northwest section, but she has been
showing impressive tennis since her ar
rival East. On the opening day
of the tournament she eliminated Miss
Katherine Gardner, of Boston, a capa-
bic player, with the loss of only three
games. Then in the second round
against Mrs. Theodore Sohst early yes
terday she triumphed at 6-1, 6-1,
playing aggressive, hard hitting tennis.

Mrs. Jessup began by eliminating Miss
Jessie Grieve, of Los Angeles, a new
conner to Eastern courts, by a score of

promise and at times passed Mrs. Jes-

and was too accurate for her. When

Crleve nearly always had to WELD it
Mrs. Marguerite Strahler and Miss
Grace Mungen were two other Pacific
Coast entrants to meet defeat, The
former was beaten by Mrs. Godfrey
and the latter by Miss Wills. Miss

cropped just one game out of twenty
five contested.
Mrs. Bundy Wins Two
Mrs. Bundy also triumphed in two
matches with the loss of only one game,
