MISS BANCROFT Is
EXTENDED TO WIN
Tennis Favorite in Apawamis
Event Bothered by Lack
of Control.
By SAMUEL J. BRooKMAN.

Miss Lester Bancroft of Boston Is
still having trouble with control just as
she did In the Pelham invitation singles
a week ago. That explains why she
narrowly escaped dropping the first set
of her match with Miss Marion Chap
man In the Apawams open tennis tour
nament yesterday. To be more exact it
explains 1t partly. There was another
reason for the long hard fought twenty
game set and 1t was the remarkable
steadiness and agility of Miss Chapman,
who covered court with unusual speed
sent everything back that was any
where within reach of her racquet, and
forced the Boston girl to earn the ma
jority of her points.
1t was Miss Chapman's persistency
and earnestness that made the match
decidedly interesting. Miss Bancroft
had the greater speed of stroke and in
the deep court rallies her advantage In
race and power had Miss Chapman rae
ing all over the court. Had she been
able to match Miss Chapman in control
the Boston girl would have ended the
match quickly for she was the aggressor
| all through and had Miss Chapman
playing a defensive game 1t was all
back court and the rallies were we'll sus-
talned as a rule. After yielding the
first set at liz. Miss Chapman held
her own for six games Of the second and
then tired as the result of her effort to
keep pace with her opponent.
The contest proved to be the closest
of the day all the others in singles end
Ing in straight sets, with the scores
more or less decisive. Miss Florence
Ballin. who is favored to reach the
final with Miss Bancroft proved too
skilful, too fast and too versatile for
Mrs. lingo Hartmann, whom she de-
feated at 6-1, 6-3. Five others who
advanced were Miss Rosamond Newton
! Of Boston, who is the first to gain the
semi-final bracket Miss Edna Hauseit,
Mrs. Theodore Sohst. Miss Mary Heaton
and Mrs. Samuel Waring. Miss Ban
croft meets Miss Hauselt to-day for the
privilege of playing Miss Newton in one
sen1i-final, and the winner of the Miss
Balm Mrs. Warng match will have the
winner of the Mrs. Sohst-Miss Heaton
contest as an opponent in the other semi
final
Miss Hauselt. who has been thessur
prise of the tournament, continued TO
play effectively despite lack of stroke
perfection. Mrs. N. w. Farlee, needing
advice. kept the ball travelling to Miss
Hauselt's weak backhand at every OPP
portunity, but found to her surprise that
| her opponent had the speed and the
! strength to run around the ball and take
II on the forehand. When Mrs. Farlec
attempted to angle her shots too sharply
she overdrove the lines and found 1t
unprofitable TO take too many chances
In the meantime Miss Hauselt, by deep
forcing shots and some alert, decisive
volleying, was keeping her opponent too
busy with defence to pay much attention
to attack. The former ended the match
with the loss of only two games. 6-2,
60. The summary:
