AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIPS A WIN FOR MISS WYNNE MAKO BEATS GILBERT (By Telegraph—Press Association.) Copyright. (Recd This Day, 10.35 a.m.) NEW YORK, September 15. In the American national lawn tennis singles championsip, Miss Wynne defeated Miss Lumy, 6/4, 5/7, 6/1. Miss Wynne outsteadied the British player, who played a consistently good game, although she was not equal to her performance against Miss Jacobs. Both were bothered somewhat by a slow turf due to early rain. Mako defeated Gilbert Hunt, 7/5, 5/6, 8/6, 6/0. Hunt made it a real battle throughout the first three sets, but failed to show the staying power, which carried him to victory over Riggs. Mako played consistently, using drop shots and lobs in an effective fashion.
