Winner Gains Speed and Power
With Every Game in State
Tennis Final.

For the third time In. two seasons
Mrs. May Sutton Bundy of California,
national champion of 1904, was forced
to accept defeat at the hands of Mrs.
Molla Bjurstedt Mallory, champion of
to-day, on the courts of the Green
Meadow Country Club at Harrison
yesterday, but for the third time she
made a great fight for 1t. She took
a set the first, and despite the ap-
parent one sided score In the second
and third sets. actually compelled the
American title holder to keep going at
top speed to win. The score was 4-6,
Go. 6--2.
1t was the title round of the New
York State championship and by far
the largest gallery Of the week was
on hand to see the two tennis rivals,
leaders of the East and West, meet in
a match that promised tennis pyrotech-
MICS of unusual brillance. They were
not disappointed. From first to last
the match was replete with sensational
getting with the hardest sort Of hitting
and with speed. speed and then more
speed.
In the long run it was the superior
strength of Mrs. Mallory, her ability
not only to maintain a fast pace but
to increase it slightly with each game
and In so doing to lose none of her ex-
ceptional control. that defeated Mrs.
Bundy The latter was all over the
court in the opening set. stroking with
great vim and keeping Mrs. Mallory
running as much as she had to sprint
herself. ltwas chiefly back court driv-
ing, deep low driving that was as
tonishinglys- accurate considering the
chances they took In maintaining low
trajectory. fEa
Drrs. Bundy's Rally.
Coming from behind when the score
was 90 in favor of Mrs. Mallory. Mrs.
Bundy won four games In row for the
first set, but she had to expend great
deal OF ener gy In her uphill rally and II
was only natural for her to let down
considerably In the second. There was
no noticeable lapse In speed on the part
of the California woman as the second
set began, but there was noticeable
increase in speed on the part of Mrs.
Mallory and the pace grew too swift for
the one time national champion
There was world of power In the
forehand drives that Mrs. Mallory
doomed across court in the second set,
and there was good judgment on her
part in the fact that she began to con-
ccntrate on Mrs. Bundy's backhand,
which. while 1t was not weak, lacked
the effectiveness and the speed of her
forehand. Mrs. Bundy fought hard for
every game of the set but lost them all.
the points being 27 TO IL.
For while In the final set 1t was
fairly close. Mrs. Bundy finding It diff
ficult to outsteady or outspeed Mrs.
Mallory from deep court began to make
sorties to the net during the rallies and
for a while her volleying won her some
important points Neither woman had
any particular advantage, as the score
went to 3-2 in Mrs. Mallory's favor.
but it was not long before Mrs. Mallory
began to gauge the sidelines to a nicely
and to pass Mrs. Bundy so consistently
that the latter was forced to fall back
on her back court game.
With Mrs. Mallory having more
strength and speed In reserve Mrs.
Bundy could not answer her opponents
exceptional pace in the final test and
the title holder took three games in
row for the set and match.
