AM there were few who expected
a. slenaer Longwood girl to conquer
,ts champion, almost everybody be-
u.sss ss9 would force Mrs. Mallory
"a exeremisies to carry OF the honors.
pu. 1. was the old, inevitable story
ssss the two began to play. Miss
s,,croft has some brilliant victories
"A her credit this season, IN fact her
.s,,,nanent record to date Is notable
"a yss almost from the first exchange
ss,o:s the net this afternoon Mrs.
wsj,ory demonstrated her superiority.
Tkis was not emily superiority in
ts.tniesI skill and court tactics. but
i;tsxi,s in the competitive spirit. Iii
q ether words, the champion was at al
lima cool, over-brimming with conn
sySe4 horn Of repeated victories, and
3slmost infallible in her anticipation OF
: her opponents next move and the
sroper measures to counterfeit the
lstaek.
Miss Bancroft, decisively beaten as
lie was, scored a greater total of
AIMED points than Mrs. Mallory, the
eans being 20 to IA, but there came
vide divergence in their comparative
.essl Of errors, Miss Bancroft piling up
Il to Mrs. Mallory's remarkable low

10 outs and l double fault.
Williams and Washburn Win
In the final round of the mems
asahles R. Norris Williams I'd and Wat
son NJ. Washburn, candidates for this
yesrs Davis Cup doubles team, were
desperately pressed to defeat the
scratch team composed of William N.
Johnston, of California, and j. O. An
dsfson, Of Australia. The match went
10 Williams and Washburn by a score
II $40, SIS, 81, 6-3, and had An
defson been nearer to his top game he
and Johnston might we'll have won.
The order Of service in this match
unpired by Fred Mansfield, of Long
1000, was as follows: Johnston, Will
! isfas, Anderson and Washburn. John
ssenwas the dominating figure on the
i teuft in most of the rallies, the speed
md power of his ground strokes fairly
eszng the gallery at times. These
shots made many openings for the tall
Anderson to bring off the finishing shot
and sometimes he came through in
spectacular fashion. Too often. how
sver, he failed to gauge the height of
the net correctly or else landed his
+ returns outside of court. Williams
was particularly successful in catching
anderson with the ball at his feet. and
i % his attempts at pickup volleys the
Australian was not meeting with much
success
u spite of these occasional lapses
md the lack Of team, a natural
Hssress under the circumstances.
'shntton and Anderson finally won the
afning set at 1913, taking the last
Two games for the loss of only two
\ points.

ae next two sessions of play, with

M Anderson seemed to have lost some
msir keen edge, and the best they
stld do was to win the first, third and
