As he watched, one figure leaped
backward and upward; there was a
swirl of snowy skirt and the flash Of
a high-swung racquet, and the
cracking applause of an enthusiastic
gallery.

palmy days"
It was of Helen Wills that he
spoke, the California schoolgirl who
has astonished the tennis world with
her phenomenal feats.
Out of the West she has come
demure but redoubtabie, to carry her
attack to the threshold of the ma
tional championship itself.
Through the ranks of the great
and near-great women tennis play
ers she has flashed her meteoric
way, disposing of the stoutest oppo-
sition with apparent ease, meeting
skill with skill. pitting speed against
speed, and matching the craft of ex-
perience with strategy of her own
devising.
I 1t took the national womcn's
champion, Molla Bjurstedt Mallory
to beat her. And yet, three years

her hand, nor in the brief span Of
