Miss Davies Surprises
There were two outstanding features
in yesterdays play. the first surprise
/ coming when Miss Penelope Davies de-
in the second round Mrs Hirsch who,
with Morton Bernstein, won the mixed
doubles tournament at Montclair last
year, is player Of varied experience
and was figured to get we'll out toward
the final brackets before being elimi-
mated. Miss Davies, on the contrary
has confined most of her play to a few
minor tournaments, for her opportuni
ties are limited.
Mrs. Hirsch had shortly before fin.
ished her first round match against
Mrs. John Collingwood, whom she de-
feated at 6-2, 6-3, and after Miss
Davies had forced her opponent to keer
continually on the run after finely
placed drives through deep court, Mrs
Hirsch showed signs Of WEAKNESS.
Miss Davies, it seemed to me, ha.
progressed remarkably since last sea
son. There was a sting to her grount
strokes yesterday and fine judgment
IN the way she placed her shots close
to the lines, that we're lacking in hel
play year ago. Her forehand drives
carried enough pace to put Mrs. Hirscl
on the defensive at times, and hel
backhand was more than a defensive
stroke. Occasionally, too, she ven.
tured into mld-court and cut off re
turns on the vollcy.
Miss Moore Weakens
Miss Edith Moore, of Montclair, the
sixteen-yearold daughter Of Rober'
Moore, the club professional, caused 6
mud sensation among the club mem
bers when she forced Miss Glare Cas-
sci, winner of the singles last year, tc
a deuce set in the second round. Miss
Cassel took the first set with ease al

| Miss Moore's opposition stiffening, anc
she had to call upon all her court
strategy to pull out the set after hel
young opponent had run into a lead OF
ID and 10.
