Just few words about Mile. Len

great player, but all this talk about her

She has a wonderful .volley and over

good service, but her famous forehand
is far more acrobatic than it is tennis.
In making this shot she springs off the
ground about foot and serves terrific
swing. Result: Weight lost and SEN
sational attitudes attained.
Mile. Lenglen is distinctly unique in
her personality, naive in her remarks
and remarkable in her play. She will
be a great drawing card when she comes
to this country next year. as she will,

Wightman'S inability to defend her

i pick Mrs. Mallory because in my
opinion she has slight superiority on
any woman that we have seen in
America. Her ground game is unsur-
PASSED while she has strength and en-
durance In excess of her demands.
Miss Zinderstein has a more versatile
game. She Is a better vOlleyer while
overhead she is infinitely superior. but
shs has not the wonderful resource
fulness Of Molla nor her wonderful
ground strokes
Fine voIieyer
Miss Eleanor Tennant Is fine tennis
player and has unique personality.
one that it is pleasure TO greet in the
East. She Is fine volleyer and has
peculiar chop stroke from the base
lines, but she is not quite in the very
first fight.
Miss Helen Boher is also an ex-
cellent player with fine strokes. but is
also slightly below the level OF the first
flight.
Mrs. Mallory had disastrous trip
In the English tournaments, and many
people seem to feel she IL not in the
same class as Mile. Lenglen and Mrs.
Lambert Chambers
" In my opinion, Mrs. Mallory Is de-
cidedly in the same class, and they Is
every reason to account for her lack of
success abroad last summer. She met
Mrs. Larcolumb at Queens Club, after
very little practice and on a very wet,
soft court.
Mrs. Larcolumb uses sharp chop
stroke that barely rose from the ground,
with the result that Mrs. Mallory was
&C loss as to how TO meet the condi-
tions.
In the championships Mrs. Mallory
was still off from lack Of practice. She
had had no practice at all except two
I. sets Of singles with me and couple
with II. c. Lyman, who was also abroad
With team. She met comparatively
easy players until Mrs. Lambert
Chambers in the semifinal, when she
gave the famous English woman a much
closer battle than the score indicated.

GAY-PLATT TILT ATTRACTS
INTEREST AT XHITEMARSH
Philadelphia Champion Carey Jones and Reynolds Expected
Win in Upper Bracket Of Golf Tourney the Geist Cup
BY SANDY McNIBLICK


Interest in the first round of match
play Of the annual invitation golf tour
ament for the Geist Cup centered
around the match between j. Wood
platt, of North Hills, the Philadelphia
hampton. and Jimmie Gay, Of the
Cricket Club, who teed of while the
dew was still wet on the grass this
morning.
Gay, who shoots a pretty brand of
golf, is sort of an unknown quantity In
the tournament, as he has appeared in
few tournaments this year. Just how
good he is going is matter Of conjecture,
but he showed that his long lay off had
not impaired his golfing eye when he
jumped into the first sixteen among
field Of formidable players yester-
day. 1850
,'latt was just as deadly as ever,
having played consistently all the way
and finishing in four cornered tie for
second place in the qualifying round.
Another match holding the attention
of the golfers Is that between j. j.
Young, Of Frankford, who lifted the
medal in the Lu Lu invitation. and
Edward Clarey, of Bala, winner Of that
event.
Spencer L. Jones. of Plymouth. who
has been playing a steady game all sea :
son and who shot the scintillating score
of "A yesterday, which was good enough
to lead his nearest competitors by three
strokes, and c. b. Hawley. Of the
Cricket Club, was the first pair. to tee
off in the first sixteen.

club. who went to the final last year
and there gave Walter Reynolds stir
ring extra hole battle before bowling to
defeat. started against a clubmate in
c. II. Wheeler. Jr:, of Whitemarsh:
Walter Reynolds, of Adronimink,
present holder Of the cup, rules as one
of the favorites in the upper bracket.
