Law Suit

--Reater.

The first "seed" failed to fructify, when Mrs. Fabyan, the chief architect of America's re- cent Wightman Cup victory, was defeated by Frl Horn, who is ranked No. 2 in Germany. This was the day's big surprise, for though Mrs. Fabyan failed at Wimbledon two years ago, after an electrifying display in the international match, she was stronger in health and eye this summer.

Fri. Horn played very confidently and had the generalship to launch a volleying-attack when she had recovered from two-four down in the second set and saw that her opponent was pressing to make winners after the volatile manner of her countryman, Sidney Wood. Thus the German's retorts came quicker than the little Bostonian expected. Scarcely beforeTM she realised her extremity she had netted the ball once too often and gone down.

It was essentially a win for! the steadier aim. FYL Horn thrived on her own success.
