AS a mild surprise for the very
meagre attendance of spectators
Miss Helen Jacobs of San. Francisco,
making her debut in the senior
championships. defeated Mrs. Harry
Bickle, the former Canadian cham

Although the opposition to the
stars was so weak that no true idea
OF their relative form could be de-
rived from this days play, there is

there were an unusually large num-
