That Washington has a woman

proud of and men who know how to
stage a frSt-class major tournament
were two Of the most pleasing
realizations of the Capitals minor
sports world today
Until yesterday. when she
cllmaXed a brilliant youthful career
by winning the Women's champion
ship of the Eastern tournament,
winsome little Carolyn Wilson was
something like prophecies with
out honor in her own country. To
be sure, the indomitable 15-year-
old coed of Bethesda Chevy Chase
High School had won the Maryland
and California State championships
in addition to the Districts. but for
the most part. no one seemed to take
very much notice.
Today, however. Miss Wilson not
only has this sections title among
her varied collection of crowns. but
the satisfaction of having come out
ahead of two of the countrys better
woman players. In defeating Alice
O'Connor of New York in the semi
finals at Heurich gym yesterday.
Miss Wilson downed an opponent
who is rated the 14th best feminine
paddler of the land while in the
finals. she whipped Priscilla Wood
bury of Massachusetts,. who earlier
had eliminated Magda Gal Hazi
with her husband a national CO.
champion of mixed doubles
Carolyn came from behind to de-
feat Miss OConnor. 21-18. l9-2l,
15-21, 21-17, 21-19, but she van
quished Miss Woodbury. in straight
games, 2l-l4. 2l-15, 21-1O
Thus Washingtons first Eastern
champion proved a fitting repre-
sentative for an association which,
thanks largely to Referee Maj
George H. Foster. put on great
show in the tWo-day tournament
Indeed. so pleased was every one
with the tournament that it's
rumored the local association will
make a determined bid to get the
1912 national tournament for Wash
ington. Several major newsreel COM
panies thought enough of yester-
days show to take several hundred

Miss Wilson was one of two new
