THREE INDOOR NET TITLES
TAKEN BY MRS. WICHTMAN

final set Miss Blake had two good op-
portunities to break through Mrs.
Wightman's service in the seventh
game. On the first of these she re-
turned lob which would have been
out and later she volleyed defensively
when smash would have sailed
through an open court. That was the
turning point in the match.
In womens doubles Mrs. Wightman
and Mrs. Jessup captured the first set
after hard struggle. In the second
set Mrs. Jessup's volleying became un-
certain and the ex-champions were
able to win only one game. In the
final set, however. Mrs. Wightman
dominated the play, forcing matters
from the start and calling upon her
deadly overhead.
Mrs. Wightman showed no signs of
fatigue as she launchedsforth on the
national mixed doubles finals. She
and Gardner took the lead at the
start and they were forced by Hills
implacable overhead to yield the Sec
ond set. Little Miss Palfrey was steady
at all stages, particularly I'm her
ground strokes, and she showed no
awe at her unusual position of facing
her tutor for a national title. Expe-
rience told in the end. however. and it
was Mrs. Wighman's smashes that
produced the telling points.

Palfrey, 14-year.old Brookline girl, and
Malcolm T. Hill, Harvard freshman,
6-2, ST, 6-2.
Mrs. Wightman was the central
figure throughout the four hours of
competition this afternoot1 Since she
first came East in 1909 as Miss Hazel
Hotchkiss of Berkeley, Calf, the
present Brookline resident has figured
in no fewer than 80 national lawn
tennis finals, and today's victories
meant that she had emerged a victor
in % of these engagements. Today
marked the first time in eight years
that Mrs. Wightnan had bid for the
national womens indoor singles
crown. On her last attempt in 1919
she also was successful.
The tide of the battle ebbed and
flowed in the singles with Mrs. Wight
man showing marked superiority as
she swept through the first set at love.
All this season she has concentrated
on developing Miss Blakes overhead
and the results of these efforts were
clearly apparent in the second set, I'm
