( Saturday afternoon.
In a special round-robin women's
doubles tournament that began yester-
day. Mrs. Bronson Bachelor and Miss
Caroma Winn won two clever victories,
frst defeating Miss NJ. K. Miller ana
, Miss Dorothy Brand, by score OF
6---1, 6-3, and then eliminating Miss
Wagner and Mrs. W. H. Pritchard at
~ ee6-3. s-4. Mrs. Bachelor, who has
not appeared in local tournament play
since the World War. impressed me as
{ possessing unusually good strokes, and
It was the brilliance of her voileylng
in some of the closeup rallies tnat
played considerable part in the TWO
victories she and her partner won
Miss Winn was also playing particu-
iariy well, her swift backhand being
+, under fine control and her volleying
% crisp and decisive. She and Mrs.
. Batchelor finished off many of their
points at the net position, finding
vulnerable spot every time they re-
turned the ball between Miss Wagner
and Mrs. Pritchard.
Kinsey was in better form yesterday
, than at any time since the tournament
started. In the fourth round he de-
Rodolph Valentino of the tarred net,
by score of 6-3, 7-5. This match
began where it left off on Tuesday,
with Kinsey leading at 40. Rosen-
baum started with rush, winning
/ three games before the Californian
could win his two for the first set.
Rosenbaum Close to Victory
In the second set Kinsey worked up
p n lead of 81 and 4-3 by dint of
skillfully controlled chopping and
clever change of depth on his returns
Rosenbaum then took the bit in his
teeth and forced his way into the
Il, lead at b--4. He was forcing the net
position and smothering returns, either
= by we'll angled volleying or heavy
smashing of the Californians lobs.
Needing only two points for the set
and squaring of the match, the ten
> mis- "Rodolph" then broke two strings
. Of his racquet as the result of an ex7
ira severe smash, and after changing
W. to a rev racquet dropped the next
four points, for the game. Kinsey
then ran out the next two games, CIV
ing him the set and match.
In the semi-fna1 round, against the
steadygoing and hard-working Kynas-
ton, Kinsey was deadly accurate in his
placements, and, in spite Of the Long
orr
the Californian won twelve out of the
thirteen games played. He frequently
scored clean placement aces on Kynas-
Z ton by dropping soft chops barely over
the net, after driving his opponent into
! back-court by deep forcing shots.
. Kynaston fought hard and brought
: many of the games to deuce" but
Kinsey was always master of the
situation.
Alfonso, in the mean time, was taking
the measure of young Jerome Lang, the
Columbia University star, winning in
straight sets by a score of GO, 7-5.
This was a struggle in which the ral-
lies were swifter and more varied than
in Kinsey's match with Kynaston, for
both players were hitting hard and
taking the aggressive frequently. Lang
did not have good control of his serv-
ice in the first set, and Alfonso allowed
him only two games.
Columbia Player Rallies
In the second set, however, the
Columbia student steaded down and
put up n stirring fight against his
famous opponent, actually leading at
Al and 5--3, and once being within
single point of winning the set In
the driving exchanges from deep court
Lang was superior, ard it was only
when he took chances and storrned the
net, to bring off spectacular volleving
shots at sharp angles, that Alfonso was
n able to draw level and finally to pull
out the set and the match.
# MISS Wagner gained her place in the
- final round yesterday by defeating Miss
Winn at 81, 6-2, holding the lead
an the way and generally putting over
the finishing shots when she needed
the decisive points. Miss Winn was
forced into numerous errors hy her
experienced opponent, Miss Wagner
putting the ball into every unprotected
spot IN Miss Winn's court, after clever
iy preparing the openings.
