Champion Defeats Mrs. Siam
wix and Mrs. Morris in
Ardsley Cup Play

With as fine an entry as any tour
nament outside the national champion
shin has attracted this season, the an
nual women's invitation tournament of
the Ardsley Club began yesterday on
tho picturesque turf courts overlook
OF contestants, besides Mrs, Molla NAL
lory, national champion, are three for
mer American title holders, Miss Mary
X. Browne, of Los Angeles; Mrs. Mar
shall Mclean and Mrs Barger-W allach,
and other top ranking players, that in
clude Miss Eleanor Goss, Miss Leslie
Bancroft, Miss Martha Bayard, Miss
Clare Cassel and Mrs. H. Stuart Green.
Mrs. Mallory, who is playing through
in defense of the Ardsley Cup, needs
one more leg on the trophy to own it
permanently, and as she has not been
beaten in three seasons on an American
court, the chances certainly favor her
success. She probably will have Miss
Bayard as a fourth opponent,
and Miss Leslie Bancroft very likely
will oppose her in the semi-tinal. In
the opposite half Miss Goss and Miss
Browne seem certain to meet in the
fourth round in match that should
furnish ono of the features of the tour
nament.
Through the medium of bye and
two decisive victories, Mrs. Mallory adj
vanced to the fourth round yesterday,
one round ahead Of the rest of the
field. The American tennis queen had
little trouble with Mrs. George Stan
wix in her first match, taking two love
sets. but Mrs. l.. Gouverneur Morris
4 Jo1 ;,,+o fo,.
Molla, much more so than the score
of 6--1, 6-1 indicates.
The Champion Extended
In the majority of the games Mrs.
Morris by her sharp angling of shots
and agility in covering court had Mrs.
Mallory extending herself to save some
important points. Half of the games
went to deuce. But when a point was
needed badly the greater power and
severity of the champion gave her a
marked advantage.
Miss Eleanor Goss, who was absent
from competition practically all season,
celebrated her return by winning in
showed all her former versatility and
speed. voleyed we'll, served with sever
itv and earned a sajority of her points
on placement Miss Bayard was an
other to score without the loss of q
game.
Miss Leslie Bancroft met with un-
expected resistance in the first set OF
her match with Mrs. Theodore Sohst
but settled down to her best speed and
control in the second division OF play
and won the match at 7-5. 6-Z: By
exactly the same score did Miss Cassel
eliminate Miss Bessie Holden.
