at Ardsley.

ny SAMUEL y. BRO0kMAN.
There have been harder fought
matches this season. no doubt. than the
one in which Miss Mary X. Browne OF
California triumphed over Miss Eleanor
Goss in the Ardsley Club invitation
tournament yesterday, but none in wom-
ems tennis that showed more superbly
versatile play on both SIDES OF the net.
nor such splendid aggressive strategy
and smoothness OF stroke from first 10
last. 1t was magnificent match and
Ii went three sets before the coast girl
scored at I'll, SIS, 6-2.
They were decidedly on their game,
Miss Browne and Miss Goss. They we're
hitting hard, mapeuvering skillruly,
calling on every tennis trick. playing the
base line chiefly. but coming 10 the net
behind forcing shots for crisp decisive
volleying that could scarcely De i'm
proved upon. In the rallies every stroke
seemed to be meant for a placement
They played the lines and the corners
and sharp angles daringly, and In most
respects there was little to choose be-
tween them. IL Mics Browne had any
noticeable advantage 1t was in ner
somewhat better control at important
stages. 1t was the exceptional versatile
ity of both girls that stood out in bold
relief.
All of Miss Brownies winning margin
was gained in the last few minutes or
the match when she bobbed up with
an Irresistible rally that gave her five
games in row and the set at Ga. IL
was as brilliant a squirt as has been seen
n fnr. hn
large gallery that looked on. Everything
that Miss Browne tried during the rally
seemed to go through just as she had
planned; she was sharnshooting and
MISS Goss, despite q persistent effort,
was unable TO check her. -Four or the
Inst five games were won at love.
Miss Gosx saves Set.
There was only one period in the con-
test when Miss Goss appeared to be
mistress of the situation. Early in the
second set, by increasing the speed OF
her attack and by coming to the net
boldly, she gained commanding lead
and brought 1t to So in games. At
that point, however. Miss Browne staged
one of her several rallies and carried
the score to all. But Miss Goss was not
to be denied and the set was hers
a hard fight. Miss Browne was once
within stroke of making the score
all. In the third and last division OF
play Miss Goss started promisingly, tax
ing the lead at 81, but was unable to
answer the whirlwind challenge that
followed.
The victory reversed the result of the
last meeting between the girls, at Sea-
fright year ago, when Miss uoss was
the winner In extra sets. 1t also
brought Miss Browne into tn, semi
final round. in which she meets Mrs. H.
stuart Green to-day. Miss Browne adj
vanced all the way from the fret round
TO the semi-final yesterday. Starting
her competition two days behind the
rest of the field she found herself
drawn against Mrs. Frank VI. Welty In
the second round, having obtained n hive
In the first. To tighten her burden Mrs.
Welty graciously decided to ,lsfault to
tho California girl. so that Miss Browne
only had to beat Mrs. Barger Vallach
before meeting Miss Goss
Miss Green moved ahead at the ex-
pense OF Miss Rosamond Newton OF
boston' whom she outsteadied and out
prayed all the way. In the opposite half

persistency kept the rallies going. won
