BRILLIANT RECOVERY AT FOREST HILLS
ENGLISH GIRLS' SUCCESSES MISS STAMMERS IN DAZZLING FORM
(By A. WALLIS MYERS)
- Forest Hills, September 7. ESTERDAY'S storm dissipated the heat but soaked the courts, and to-day steel-pointed shoes reappeared and divots were distributed over the surface...
But the competitors doubtless preferred loose turf to exhausting heat; no longer were ar bulance men standing by for casualties.
C. E. Hare, however, is a temporary victim of the heat wave and its aftermath. To-day he was due to play Cunningham, a Rhodes scholar at. Oxford, in the fourth round, but the executive generous- ly postponed the match until to-morrow, when Hare should have recovered. It is only a passing indisposition..
