UPSET IN U.S. TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP
LOSES TO AMERICAN SIXTH RANKING PLAYER
MISS STAMMERS AND MISS JAMES HAVE HARD MATCHES

of the U.S. Women's singles championship, she was beaten by Baroness Levi, No. 6 ranking player in the United States.
Miss Nuthall was defeated In disap straight sets, offering a pointing display against one of the most improved players in America to-day. Baroness Lovi bas earned many distinguished successes in State tournaments this year, and har peformance to- day only went to justify the per- spleneity of the American ranking authorities, who had awarded her sixth place.
