ably rest on the shoulders of
Helen Wills.
Miss Wills has been in the East for
some time preparing for the coming
event. She has risen to stardom In
the last two seasons on the courts
and has been heralded constantly as
the most probable successor to Mile.
Lenglen's honors.
The California youngster possesses
all the requirements of champion.
Her ground strokes and volleys are
fast and accurate, her service Is
strong and her agility in covering
the court was the best seen in last
seasons tournament.
Her stamina. too, is one Of her
assets. With all the energy of youth
she dashes with great speed from
side to side and she seldom is passed
on placement aces.
The problem which confronts the
coast star is one of the greatest that
any player Of her years has had to
face. Mary Browne won the national
title when she was seventeen, ana
Mrs. Mallory first captured the
honors at the same age, but at that
time there was no great threat from
the foreign nations. The honors
then were individual.
If Miss Wills succeeds this season
in keeping the title from the grasp
Of Mrs. Beamish and Miss McKane
the glory will be not only hers, but
the .cOuntrys as well.

can't see why people will go
eighty or ninety miles when they
can go down to the Beach in a
catch like this. Hazard only
charges $125 per trip; while,
understand, at other resorts they
are charging a great deal more.
He works as hard as the fisher
men to help them make good
catches. You don't have to ask
him to move if they are not biting
in one place.
