= For threeSsyears in succession Miss
Sutton went to England Tlleg5 first
time she walked right over the English
women, though she says they are the
. hardest players sheshas ever met They
keep their heads better than American
women. Poise and self assurance are
distinctly English characteristics. Just
as every English woman thinks her
self a beauty and is utterly uncoTf-
scious of her big hands and feet so
she goes to her game cool headed and
steady nerved and doesn't change her
mind when she starts to yolley and
let the ball touch before she returns
it,. And these heady English women
were to give the "invincible May the
first and the biggest surprise of her
career.
She went back a second time, think
ing to repeat her victory Of the year
before with ease. She felt cocky. She
had not yet met defeat. Her head had

of the title. She seemed to have no
trouble at all in getting it away from
her eastern sisters, but whenever a
California girl came up and shook
hands with her she could feel the
laurel wreath topping from her brow.
And do what she might, there was no
such thing as getting it back on
straight with a Californian across the
net. -,
In 1904. she lost the title to Miss
May Sutton. Then and there. this

her has never been seen, before or

1t was no particular surprise to Cali

fornia championship four years before
she went after the national, and those
who had been watching her since that
time knew what a winning way she
had. But in. the east they are. bit
slow to recognize that anything exists
west of Niagara Falls or the SusqiIe-

her school days was basket ball, at

team.
In thesmidst of her school work last
February Miss Hotchkiss stopped down
to pick UP the glove Miss, Sutton threw
perore her last year by going to the
annual tournament at Coronado and
winning the first set ever won by a
woman player from Miss Sutton in this
country. And a little later she went

1t beganea dozen years ago. when
Miss Marion Jones of Santa Monica,
daughter of Senator J. P Jones of Ne
vada, went TO Philadelphia and put all
the eastern tennis players to rout,
thereby dropping a hint that Califor-
MIA girls had decided to take tennis a
little more seriously.
California girls have always PLAYED
tennis more or less But here there
are so many outdoor things to do all
the time-rowing and riding. golfing
and swimming, basket bail, motoring,
fishing, mountain climbing and all the
rest of them-that cornPa ratively few
girls have, made a specially of tennis
And a good many of these played
merely for the fun of it, without think
ing Of honors to be won
But when Miss Jones went back a
second time and carried the champion
ship away from the easterners, the
California players began TO brush UP "a
bit and take little more interest In
the game and to go Ia more for form
than mere fun. And since then it has
seemed that all California girl has to

notion to any championship. honor.
From the Pacific coast to England,
from Canada to Mexico, they have
gone, sweeping up all the honors that
came in their path.

thing. One can't get 1t and hang it. up
on q stick at corner of ones home

keep her laureis green must go out and

Miss Jones left off trying after two
pickings. She got interested in other
