MRS. MOODY 1-5 DÓWN Beaten by drives to the corners which she was unable to reach, Mrs. Moody allowed her opponent to get to the commanding position of a 5-1 lead before she again came into the picture,
She succeeded in reducing Mrg Miller's lead to 5-2, though not with- out a struggle, and then won her ser- vice game for the first time to make it 5-3. Gradually a transformation was coming over the game. Mrs. Moody's drives were getting deeper and deeper, and Mrs. Miller's returns were getting less and less accurate. The American fought her way back amid a sympathetic round of applause, and soon was only one game behind.
