Miss Bancroft in Close Fight
The feature singles match OF the
ag Yesterday saw Miss Bancroft
,.;irg her ciesn-cut strokes against
10 crude incyDcr.cnce OF Miss Edna
g,uselt. o. The New York Tennis Club.
\ was only after O bitter struggle in
=, second set that Miss Bancroft took
n, match b. q score Of CT. o.. and
rat after coming from behind at 3-5
n ihe games score.
Miss Newton had already gained her
pses In the semi-inal or Tuesday. but
N ,he lover hall Miss Heaton came
through splendidly against Mrs. Theo-
ttfs Sohst Of the West side Tennis
C-s. winning by a score Of Ga, 60,
Ser stirring exhibition OF deep
u.r driving and several snappy vol
sT,g exchanges from midcouft
Nn BALM gained her place at the
,,v,s Of Mrs. Samuel Waring. OF the
yrlork Tennis Club. the sets going
az Us. in match that exceeded
b. the others m the time consumed.
4-sst every game WAS fought out
fricious'y. with long rallies at force
T. driving. Mrs. Warine worked up
roo lead IN many Of the games, but
I'd no; have the finishing shots 20 pull
hem out. whereas Miss BALM. when
pressed. generally came through WIN
ne winning strokes. either a SEEING
,tssinc drive or decisive smash.
The match in which Miss Bancroft
.sica'ed Miss Hauselt IS worthy OF
omment particularly because oil tne
taliy surprising showing made by the
oser. / cannot think OF one stroke
hat is made in correct form by MISS
lausclt. who is just beginning her
ornament career. Her backnand 10
n extraordinarily unorthodoN stroke .t'
ith the racquet gripped close 70 INC
lroat and the arm twisted at an a"H
ard angle: her service rs not severe
nd her footwork and volleying pos'-
ion are faulty.
Forced 10 Deuce Set
Yet, with all these handicaps. Miss
.auselt forced her more experienced
pponcnt into a stubborn deuce set, and
nee. when Miss Bancroft needed only
ne point for the match while leading
Il 6 3 and 1870. the novice sur
prised the gallery by squaring the
score and winning the game. II was
only by nerving herself TO her task
and s,foking her fore and backhand
drives al her swiftest pace that the
Lorgwood "ace" was able 20 break
Gowa Miss Hausclt's defense and ride
through 90 victory.
] cannot recall any player, man or
woman. who accompllshes so much
with such limited techn zeal equipment
az does Miss Hausclt. Rather remark
able agility enables her 20 cover up
gaping holes IN her court, and she IS
amazingly quick in seeing an oTening
N her opponents court and taking ad-
vantage Of 70. Odd as 10 may seem,
Mss Hauselt is at her best when vol
lying although her style IN this IS in
correct. But she manages 20 get her
racquet on the ball. and generally
is,es it exceedingly we'll. In the
lands Of competent professional
ts iausc.t should take a prominent
i.,e among the players Of the East.
