Miss Anderson deserves considerable
credit for her achievement, as 1t Is a
we'll known fact that the Middle At
Iantic section does not offer the sort
| of competition which mOlds cham
pionship material. The women for
the most part do not take the game
seriously enough. Tennis is played
in Maryland. Virginia and the Dis
trict Of Columbia as a side issue
rather than an objective.
Miss Anderson has outstripped
every woman with whom she has
crossed rackets in this section for
several years and had to depend upon
masculine opponents for the stiff
competition necessary to the develop
ment Of her game. Three years ago
she very wisely decided to try other
fields of conquest and she entered
tournaments in the North Atlantic
section. where competition was so
keen that she met with defeat more
often than victory. But she knew that
| along the road Of defeat lay advance
ment and she kept plugging at 1t until
she has developed a game that places
her in the class with Americas best.
There is another fair racketer who
completes in this section. with a game
somewhat similar to Miss Anderson s,
but she lacks the Richmond girls Wis.
ion. 1t Is said that she enters only
those tournaments she Is fairly sure Of
winning. She has the satisfaction Of
knowing that in three years she has
not been defeated. But in those three
years, her critics say, her game has
remained the same. No better and
no worse.
These two players stand out as
eloquent proof of the theory that the
experience gained by defeat is far
superior to that which comes through
easy victory, In life as well as in sport.
