Spsoial Dispatch 10 THE NEw York HERALD
BOSTON, March 23.--Mrs. Marion
Zinderstein Jessup of Wilmington,
Miss Leslie Bancroft of the Longwood
Cricket Club. Mrs Molla Bjurstedt
Mallory of the West Side Tennis Club
the playing-througf, champion. and
Miss Edith Sigourney OF Longwood
will meet in the semi-final round of
the singles tomorrow morning in the
women's annual national indoor lawn
tennis championship tournament on
the Longwood covered courts at
Chestnut HILL
In the final round OF the women's
doubles Mrs. Mallory and Mrs. Lewis
Gouverneur Morris of New York will
meet Mrs. Jessup and Mrs. Frank H.
Godfrey, the latter OF Longwood, for
the championship, the match to start
Mt o'clock. Three pairs. including
Mrs. Mallory and William r. Tilden I'd
and Miss Bancroft and Burnham Dell,
gained brackets in the semi-final round
of the mixed doubles.
The feat of Miss Sigourney in crush
ing Mrs. Godfrey under a score OF
6-i. 60, in their singles match this
morning was the most impressive per-
formance OF tie day. the more so when
it is said that Mrs. Godfrey was try
ing everything she knew to turn the
tide that set so strongly against her.
Miss Sigourney at Her Rest.
Miss sigourney was practically flaw
less in the accuracy with which she
drove the ball deep into Mrs. Godfrey's
court and so close to the line that the
losing player was continually beins
nced. To add to Mrs. Godfrey's diff
cuities. Miss Sigourney maintained a
consistent attack to the backhand. and
after few games this had the effect
of forcing Mrs. Godfrey into frequent
errors, and she never had much of a
chance to work her way inside the
service court lines, owing TO the deadly
accuracy of her rivals forcing shots
Mrs. Mallory gained her seml-final
bracket by defeating Mrs. Saunders
Taylor of Wilmington at 6--i. 6--1. The
champion was plainly holding herself
in reserve for the more important
matches that await her on Friday and
Saturday. and it was not until tho last
set with Mrs. Taylor that she was
spurred into decisive action.
Where at first she seemed satisfied
TO trade deep court drives with her op-
ponent and do little moro than keep
the ball in play, in the second set she
went after her points with determina-
ton and slowly kept adding to the
severity of her strokiug. with the re-
suit that Mrs. Taylor. who had done
exceptionally we'll In the opener, was
fortunate to get the one game that
came to her In the second session OF
play.
Miss SiEouruey at Her best.
Miss Bancroft was hitting the ball
with better control to-day in her match
with Miss Caroma Winn of New York,
winning at e. CO, and showing
greater steadiness than she had earlier
in the week. Both are left handlers, and
both like to stroke with full power, so
that a fine duel of ground strokes en-
lfvened the match. It was Miss Ban

net position. there to volley or smash.
that won for her. She made few errors
overhead, whereas Miss Winn lost
many valuable points as she tried to
put over the finishing shot with a
sharp volley or severe smash.

Mallory and Mrs. Lewis Gouverneur
