Philadelphia and Middle States Champion

While practically all the leading men

great nation at Mannheim. many Of our
leading players of the 'fair sex" will
battle at the Philadelphia Cricket Club
in the Girls National and the Women S

These events. which will be held only
in the morning, will begin next Monday.
Col. Kurtz. one of the leading figures
Of the tournament committee at the
Cricket Club. challenges any one to
show him finer turf than that found on
their championship courts. We share
his views in the matter.
This equipment. coupled with an ef-
ficient tournament committee, should
make the events big success.
The entry list Of the Girls Cham
pionship is headed by Helen Wills,
the present title holder. Miss Wills has
been such leading figure In women S
tennis this year that little need here
be said of her record or ability. During

one of these occasions the girl wonder

the national champion. She has beat =

title, defeating Virginia Carpenter, of

This year Helen SO far outclasscs the

MISS RUE WINS IN
GIRLS NET TOURNEY
Defeats Miss Margaret Coss in
First-Round Match on lans-
downe Courts, 81, 81
MISS WHITE is BEATEN

Miss Alice Rue won her first round
singles match IN the annual girls lawr
tennis tournament for the champion
ship Of I.ansdownc. on the courts OF
the Lansdownc Playground from Miss
Margaret Coss, today. The final count
was 6-1. 81.
The first set was closely contested
Both girls played from the back court,
and almost every game went TO deuce
Miss Coss' outs and nets, however. were
too frequent, and this enabled her OPP
pOnent to run out the set. Miss COss
became a little wild in the next frame,
and Miss Rue easily won the set and
match.
In the other singles match played
Miss Margaret Morrison defeated Miss
Helen White, 6-1. 60.
Miss Margaret Husband and Edna
Groswith won their first round doubles
match after n hard fight with Misses
Esther Lyster and Edith Wilson, 90,
1913.
Miss Groswith was the best PLAYER
and scored number of service aces,
Her net game was brilliant also. In
the second set Misses Lystcr and Will
son got away TO Sd lead, but were
unable to hold it and their opponents
finally ran out the set and match.

NOME to think of it, his draw is all

COME TO think of it, this draw is all
~ wrong
In the first place. Dionnc and Coffin
should have met IN the first round, the
winner TO meet Graves. Then, too. the
logical place for Campbell Is with De
Turreune. and Kind should have paired
off with Leroy.
In addition 70 this. Clothicr is the
obvious adversary for Wear. and
Fischer and Hunter certainly should
be together, II is almost unnecessary
to point out that Marion and Rice
have an intimate association all their
own.
As it is. however. Garland and Reed
have nothing but horticultural af-
fnity. There can be no complaint ON
the other hand about the wide gulf
which separates Hayday and Kught in
the drawing.

girls. who are displaying an excellent

Miss Hooker has given many Of our
leading players close matches. while
Miss Bakers unusual good play has
been a feature during the last few
years.
Unfortunately. Philadelphia seems TO
have no entries of note. A bit more
interest in girls tennis in this city Is
most desirable.
The doubles event looks like walk
away for the two Helens. as Miss Wills
and Miss Hooker are entered.
Although Miss Wills. who, of late,
has been Mrs. Mallory's leading con-
tender, is not expected to play In the
singles of the women's tourney, our
national champion will not have an
easy time of it. as all the leading
women players are entered.
