By SAMUEL j. BROOKMAN.

Two ranking players stand out so
prominently in the women's invitation
ttnnis tournament which opened yester-
day at the Apawamis club that one need
lave no hesitancy in raining them the
probable finalists. They are Miss Leslie
Bancroft OF Boston and Miss Florence
Ballin of New York. 1t is difficult to
see how any Of the other entrants can
hope to check their advance to the cup
round. Nothing short of startling up
set can accomplish 1t, and there Is no
reason to anticipate any complete form
reversals.
AS the draw stands. Miss Rosamond
Newton of Boston. Miss Marion Chap
man and Miss Edna Hauselt are Miss
Bancroft's strongest rivals in the upper
half. and neither should force her to the
limit 20 win. In the opposite half Miss
Mary Heaton. Mrs. f. Welty and Mrs.
Samuel Waring are the ablest players
Miss Balm has to dispose of. She
should do so if she is anywhere near her
best form.
Progress Is Rapid.
Progress was so rapid on the opening
day. of the tournament that thirty-six
Of the fifty entrants We're eliminated.
A high wind put a premium on hard
hitting rather than defensive play dur

was some spirited tennis in the majority
of the matches. All of the first and
second round contests we're completed.

Like Miss Bancroft. Miss Ballin yielded
only two games in her opening match.
Miss Edna Hauselt attracted considera-
HE attention by her straight set vic
tpries over Miss Helen Simpson and
Mrs. Percy Wilbourn. Despite most

fbrehand and has good control OF a

Hand Miss Hauselt would go far. Just
now 1t is nothing more than queer

nor direction.
