Battle Lasts Hour.
The Wills-Browne match, a battle
of Californians that lasted over an
hour, witnessed the most stirring
piny of the ttournament and saw the
triumph of the youthful champion
over her veteran rival only after the
hardest fight she has had on an
Atneilean court since she gained the
title a year ago. In the end, the power
and versatility of Miss Wills' ganiee,
plus her stamina, prevailed, hut Miss
Browne came close to scoring a
spectacular up set with her aggres
sive dash, puzzling change of pace
asud brilliant generalship.
! Finding her si iff.-at backhand and
fbr.hand drive returned with almost
equal pace, displaying a tendency to
ovrishoot ill-' line's and faltter in her
usually dominant service, Miss Wills
\<-ns extended to the limit to hold her
o\vn In the first two sets.
■ Throughout a sensational hack
court dttele that sparkled with pro
longed rallies, she found her severest
attack handled with consummate
skill by the title holder of a decade
or more ago.
While her opponent gradually wilt
ed under the furious pace. Miss Wills
put all she had into her strokes and
sWept through the deciding set to
victory.
Powerful Driving (lame.
< Mrs. Mallory's powerful driving
(i.ine whs at its best today against
Miss Goss, who fought plueklly but
for the most pHrt ineffectively
against the former champion s ag
gressive attack.
Mrs. Mallory, who relinquished her
title last year to Miss Wills, after
having had It aeven times, demon
strated that her forehand strokes are
as potent as ever hut although she
won more decisively than did Miss
Wills this afternoon, her opponent
was less resourceful than the one met
tjy the Pacific coast girl and experts
tonight established the champion as
a favorite to retain her laurels.
In the doubles Miss Goss and Mrs.
Jessup, three times former cham
pions, won their way to the finals
by conquering Miss Leslie Bancroft
and Miss Edith Sigourney of Boston.
«-0. 6-4.
Misa Wills and Mrs. Wightman ad
vanned to the semi finals by defeating
Mrs. Samuel H. Waring and Mrs. K.
V. Roeser of New York. 6-3. 6-2, while
their opponents for tomorrow, Miss
Browne and Mis. Dudley’, another
pair of former champions, vanquished
Miss Rosamond Newton of Boston
and Miss Edith Handy of New York.

higher classification. After to

Barney Burch is giving the tele
graph companies a lot of business
trying to land a good hurler for the
final dash to the Western league
pennant. Thus far Burch ha* been
unable to purchase a suitable
hurler. He can land plenty of pitch
ers of tlie Napier type, but good
hurlers are scarce and hard to find.
Yesterday the Tulsa rlub pur
chased Pitcher "I^efty” Bayne from

sidered a pretty good addition to
the Oilers. He is a southpaw with
plenty of stuff, and up to the time
the Browns got Wingard he was
getiiig into action quite often,
Bayne pitched for Tulsa in 1919,
when Spencer Abbott was managing
the Oilers. From Tulsa Bayne went
to St. Louis.
Jack Lelivelt figures that with
Bayne in the lineup his Oilers ought
to cop the Western league flag.

Rickard and Firpo previously had

CHARLES (CHICK) EVANS, JR.
ON WINDY DAYS.
THE outstanding difference be
tween the championship courses
of Great Rritain and those of this
country lies in the wind. I have seen
it blow so hard on the seashore of
the grand little island where all th“
championship courses are located
(none of them being inland) that it
whs very difficult
even to stand up.
Rut there is some
thing 'cry fair
about a w lad over
there — It blow*
steadily instead of
gustily. It whs
thought that our
golfers could never
overcome this haz
ard of wind when
they went abroad
to play in the
championship. Hut
you can see that
the professionals
^lave done so.
I shall never forget a match I ha<1
with Harold Hilton at the National
SOlf links of Long Island. Now this
course Is somewhat like those abroad,
and on this particular day it was
very windy. I seemed to 1h> able to
judge the ball in the air fairly well.
But if I owe nothing else to Hilton I
learned from him that day that the
way to play In a wind was to keep
your shota as low* as possible Of
course, I understood this when going
straight down against a wind, but I
refer more especially to those shot*

Take two courses or equal architecture,

Women’s Tennis
Tourney Planned
J
Lincoln, Aug. 35.—A womer t
tennis tournament will probably ba
held in Lincoln next summer in con
nection with the Nebraska stats
tennis tournament. Members of the
Nebraska Tennis association at their
annual meeting here last week ex
pressed themselves as favoring ths
women's meet as part of the tourna
ment next year.
The showing made by junior plan,
ers in the tournament just held
here, particularly the Omaha delega
tion, was one of the features of ths
tournament this season. The brand
of tennis exhibited by the younger
players was close to the standard set
by the senior performers.
A1 Flnkel of Omaha, present state
junior champion, will be eleigible to
compete again In the Junior class
next year. His doubles partner, Gor
don Diesing, however, will he over
the lg. year-old age limit.
The date of the 1925 tournament
was not fixed at the meeting, al
though it was practically decided to
hold the meet the week following the
Interstate tournament at Sioux City.
Clarence Davis of Holdrege. newly
elected president of the state asso
ciation was a member of the state
championship doubles team of Davis
and Ellis in 1*12, '13. '14. It. A.
Newell of Omaha, elected \e prc-«i
dent, is one of the veteran players of
the state. Gregg McBride of Lincoln,
was elected secretary.
