At the women’is tennis tourney at Fbrewfa Hi Its, although the last Canadian woman was eliminated in the second round of the national ehampiontsliip, the ranks of the British invaders remains intact.

Quick, decisive results were the rule in the majority of the singles, but the period of easy victories appears to be over. Of the sixteen surviving the second round, ten are top-rankers who participated in the international match last Aveek. The others include Miss Ryan, iwho is conceded an even chance lor the title with Miss Wills, . Miss McKane land Miss Penelope Anderson, of Virginia., who defeated Miss Helen Jacobs, the junior 'champion, 6 —4, 4—6, 6—3. Mrs. Bundy defeated another promising Californian, Miss Charlotte H.osimer, 2 —-6, 6 —4, 6 —3. Mrs. Bundy is a former champion, who appears to be playing with her old craft and speed. She will play ' her next match against Miss Willis. The latter, who has been depending almost entirely upon her pace and the depth of her drive, has begun to vary her game, attacking aggressively at the net and volleying brilliantly.
