her match against Miss Wills, Miss
Beysfd showed her courage by over
coming leads of %, and it was her
ceteImination that was a large factor
n bringing her through successfully
Miss Wills relied upon her volleying
and overland play to offset Miss Bay
ARDS splerdidly sharp and accurate
dryng from court. The California
schoolgirl failed by the narrowest of
margins, partly because of overanxiety
TO kip at critical points and partly,
100, because some of the breaks" went
against her when she most needed the
points. At 6-5 Miss Wills needed only
one point for the match, but a close
Inc decision WAS called against her
