ANITA LIZANA

GRAND REVENGE OVER

FR. SPERLING®

(By Gordon Wesley)

London, June 14. Anita Lizana, playing lawn tennis that has never been ex- celled by any woman, beat Fr. Sperling by 6-2, 9-7 in the final of the women's singles in the West of England championship meeting at Bristol yesterday. They have now met three times. Fr. Sperling won the first two encounters, once on the covered court at Copenhagen and once at Monte Carlo. This is the first time they have played each other on grass.

The contrast in height between the opponents was almost ludicrous. Anita's head was not as high as Fr. Sperling's shoulders. But in shots, strategy, and tactics it was the Chl- lean who dwarfed her opponent.
