Miss Round lasted better than any of the players. She improved as the game progressed, and in the second and third sets gave a glimpse of ka cho has gained so many successes at last home and abroad during the twelve months.
Her volleying in the final set was brilliant. She did Hot always satisfy herself with the customary chop volley, but often ran in to hit the ball with the fall face of the racket—a perfect stroke.
Miss Round's backhand also worked smoothly after the first set, and hor quickness of eye, sureness of foot and variety of strokes allowed her several times to emergo triumphant from a long rally in which she had been the central figure,
