Hardy Matron

Mrs. George W. Wightman met Miss Margaret Blake last week in the finals of the women's national indoor singles tennis tournament on the Longwood courts, Chestnut Hill, Mass. Superior headwork enabled Mrs. Wightman, mother of five, to tire her younger opponent early in the match; to win the championship, 6-0, 2-6, 6-4. A few minutes later Mrs. Wightman and Mrs. Marion Zinderstein Jessup lined up against Miss Blake and Miss Edith Sigourney in the doubles event finals. Again Mrs. Wightman, mother of five, added to her laurels. Score: 8-6, 1-6, 6-3. The gallery resounded as the hardy matron, paired with G. Peabody Gardner Jr., walked forth for a third joust--this time the finals of the mixed doubles. Mrs. Wightman still displayed no sign of fatigue; gave Mr. Gardner excellent support; helped earn her third title of the day, defeating two promising youngsters, Miss Sarah Palfrey and Malcolm Hill, 6-2, 5-7, 6-2.
