According to the critics. one notable
example of the heights to which she
may climb stands out in Mrs +. Roe

last year. Mrs. Roeser pressed Helen
Jacobs to three sets before succumb-

game is absolutely untaught.
She has no form whatsoeVer-her

but she gets ii back more often than
most players with an orthodox back
hand dive. She is as clever as the
most versatile of players and she is
unbelicvably quick on her fee. Mary
X. Browne was heard to say OF her
that she even was faster than Su-
z1nne Lenglen herself. The secret of
Mrs. RoeSer's game is that she uses
her head to make up for her lack of
technique. She often comes off the

Of the game.
