Mrs. Mallory moved along at an even
pace IN eliminating Miss Florence Bal
lin, in straight sets, the loser showing
up well In taking three games In each
division OF play. Miss Ballin depended
on Mrs. Mallory netting the ball OF her
backh and, which occurred frequently
enough to cause Molla to put some
steam on her cross court sbots.
Miss Clare Cassel finished her second
round match quickly against Miss Mar
garet Grove. 1t had been halted by
thunderstorm the day before In the maj
set, after each had won a set at IAb.
Miss CasseI outsteadied Miss Grove in
a back court duel, and won at Is,
5-7, 6-2. In the third round Miss
Cassel triumphed over Miss Phyllis
Walsh, 6-2, 6--1. while Miss Bancroft
eliminated Mrs. DE Forest Candee. 6-3,
4-S CO. Miss Bancroft found herself
In the last set, and played In her best
form, after dropping the second by
erratic hitting.
Doubles play was started yesterday
with several good combinations striving
for the honors. None, however. ap-
preached the performance OF Miss Ban
croft and Miss Wills. who ran through
two love sets against Miss (. Blagden
and Mrs. Walker. The victors have
paired before this season. although Miss
wills has won the major tournaments
and the national championship teamed
with Mrs. Marion Zinderstein Jessup,
who did not enter.
