Mrs. Wightman Eliminates Mrs.
Bundy at Forest Hills

Forest Hills. n. Y, Aug. IS Up
Every now and then it takes an old
hand to turn the trick.
And SO it happened that a hand
old in the tennis game-the clever,
bronzed hand of Hazel Hotchkiss
Nlghtman, four times national
champion-stopped the triumphant
journey of the veteran May Sutton
Bundy, this years tennis sensation
on the Atlantic seaboard.
They fought it out on damp and
slippery court here yesterday in the
third round of the women's national
tennis tournament-thos two who
have played so many tennis matches
as opponents in singles and part
ners in doubles. in tournaments and
out OF tournaments, that they long
ago lost count. Mrs. Wightman won
GA. 11-9.
After 1t was over
Hazel Hotchkiss always was a
holy terror on wet court" sighed
Mrs. Bundy. She had forgotten for
the moment that Hazel Hotchkiss"
was now Mrs. George w. Wightman
and the mother of four children.

have played in all the years we've
been playing tennis" said Mrs.
Wightman. But this I do know
that this is only the third time I've
beaten her in a match"
incidentally sport chroniclers
still write about one of those
matches-played at Niagara on the
Lake. N. Y. in 1911.
After wading right through a
flock of the best young tennis play
ers in the country-including Char
lotte Hosmer Chaplin, who gave
Helen Wills such a tough match
yesterday afternoon-Mrs. Bundy
went down in defeat finally. not TO
one of those powerful youngsters
with the heavy artillery but to an
old timer like herself-a cagey old
timer who baffled her. just as she
had baffled the youngsters.

to defeat. For when Mrs. Wightman
