LAMME.
WINS FROM
BARONESS
By MICHAEL J. FOSTER

SEABRIGHT, N. j., July 25.
Overcoming stout resistance by
her brilliant, but erratic, oppo-
nent in the first set, and speeding
right through the second chapter
when the heat began to affect
Miss Surber, Josephine Cruick-
shank, of Santa Ana, Calf, led
the way into the second round Of
the Seabright Lawn Tennis and
Cricket Clubs forty-fifth invitation
tennis tournament here this after
noon by conquering Grace Surber,
of New York, 6-3, 6-1.
Miss Surber, metropolitan cham
pion and Jersey and New York
state finalist, put up a fine battle
against her high-ranking foe in
the early games of their match.
Her volleying and smashing kept
Miss Cruickshank on the defen-
Sive until the New Yorker had
piled up a 80 lead. The tide of
battle turned very abruptly at this
point, however, Miss Surber's vol
leys starting to find the net con-
sistently and her Smashes hit
ting out.
Ran Her Around
The coast star was putting pres
sure on now, running the Met"
title holder around the court with
her Wellplaced drives. Grace
wilted badly, and her game was
listless all through the second
chapter, as if she realized that
she was on her way to defeat.
The tournament was given its
first upset and it came as a shock
to the experts, who had picked the
baroness as a possible Seabright
champion, when Mrs. Agnes
Lamme, veteran Rye chop-stroker,
fought her way to As, "a,
6-1 victory over the Baroness
Giacomo Levi.
Leading by a set and 40 in
games in the second chapter, the
titled favorite appeared to be on
her way to an easy win, when sud-
denly her whole game collapsed.
Nothing she did was right, and
Mrs. Lamme reeled off six games
in a row to tie up the score. The
rest before the third chapter didn't
do the baroness any good, either,
for she continued to make error
after error, the while Mrs. Lamme
kept plugging the ball back and
piling up her lead until she had
her upset win.
Another highly-regarded met
ropolitan entry fell by the way
side when Mrs. Carolyn Swartz
HirSch, of White Plains, bowed
to Mrs. Dorothy Andrus Burke,
of Stamford, in two decisive sets,
SO, 60. After her fine showing
at LongWood, where she went to
the semifinalS, Mrs. HirSch had
been conceded some chance of
upsetting Mrs. Burke. But the
Stamford matron was hitting too
hard and too accurately for her
White Plains rival, and she had
little difficulty winning.
Sarah Triumphs
Sarah Palfrey, pretty little
Y7ightman Cup star, crushed the
veteran Mrs. Philip B. Hawk, of
Forest Hills, under 60, 6-1 scores,
and Eleanor Gross, New York
Sears Cup captain, conquered
Clare Prentice, local girl, by the
same count. Fannie Goodyear,
a newcomer. of Cooperstown, N.
Y. was the victim of Virginia
Hilleary, hard-hitting Philadel-
phia star, going down at SO, 60.
A very fine win was turned in
by Bonnie Miller. pretty Cali
fornia newcomer making her
Seabright debut, when she de
feated Anne Page. Philadelphia,
by 8-6, 60. Miss Miller displayed
a strong driving game which
may make trouble for Mary
Greet, Kansas ace, tomorrow.
Miss Greet disposed of Cecilia
Riegel, another Philadelphia en-
try, at rs, 61 in her first start.
PARIS, July 25.-Even the
French tennis experts admitted to
day that Americas team of young
tennis players had more than a
fair chance to regain the Davis
Cup, most famous trophy in the
world, of sports.
American observers who saw
Ellsworth Vines, the American
star, in action against German
opponents on Friday and yester-
day predicted without reservation
that the cup would return across
the Atlantic as a result of the
play to begin Thursday between
America and France.
