If Detroit can give battle like that

an acid test when they go out that

August that he would finish fourth

Californian had fought her wav
Nallantly through a fine field to the
hnal bracket, but to ask her to win
against Miss Goss, who far out
classed the field, was asking too
much AS it is, her success in reach
ing the final round is testimonial
enough as TO her ability.
The match was decided, in the main,
from deep court, with extended driy-
ing rallies. Miss Goss had more pace
on her ground strokes and overhead
she was not only more severe, but in
far better control. 1t should be re
membered, of course. that Miss Jacobs
is entirely new to conditions in the
East. This undoubtedly accounted for
many of the errors the schoolgirl
made, not on the difficult shots SO
much as on the simple ones Ere
quently she overdrove the base line
by as much as a foot or more due to
overkeenness. and it was this same
zealousness of youth that caused Miss
Jacobs to send her volleys wide of
the court on occasions when the open
lngs were ready to her hand.
Remarkable for Her Years.
Attention has been drawn to Miss
Jacobs weaknesses as they were ap-
parent yesterday. On the credit side
1t may be set down that Miss Jacobs
is by long odds the most remarkable
player of her years and sex who has
appeared on the American tennis
horizon for a long stretch of years
Only Helen Wills had exceeded her
in this respect.
The little Californian is neat and
capable looking on the court. In
truth she looks like a wholesome
tomboy, with blond hair which would
be in pigtails of bobbing were not the
fashion of the moment
Having always played on the hard
clay and cement courts of California
Miss Jacobs has not yet accustomed
herself to the slower bound of the
ball on the turf surfaces. Her fore
hand drive is soundly executed, with
whole souled fellow through, and
her low backhand is more than a
mere defensive shot.
Miss Jacobs yesterday did not often
go TO the net to volley or smash
yet the few times she did venture
beyond the service court lines she
gave Indications that she will shine
there once she has become acclimated
Give her another season in the East
and Miss Jacobs viii surely be up
among the first ten group.
Miss Goss Takes Early Lead.
In the first set Miss Goss went
away into an early lead of 81,
breaking through service in the third
game. Miss Jacobs then made a fine
stand and brought the score 10 B
all. following several long driving
sessions
Miss Goss speeded up in the next
three games and won them all for the
set at 6-3. The points went to deuce
three times before Miss Goss could
win.
In the second set Miss Goss reeled
off the first three games before Miss
Jacobs could stage a rally and win
the fourth and fifth games. This
was the last chance the schoolgirl
had, however. to break into the
winning column. for Miss Goss ran
through the last three games with
the loss of only three points.

Wills and Vincent Richards, the only
outdoor title of any consequence in
