Among those who greeted Miss
Wills upon her arrival were several
officials Of the United States Lawn
Tennis Association, and they were
greatly surprised at the remark
able physical change in the youth
full California player since her ap
pearance here a year ago. She has
grown fully five inches in the past
twelve months, broadened and filled
out, and gives every indication OF
being in fine playing condition.
This, taken in conjunction with
reports that her game has I'M
proved at least Is, indicates that
Miss Wills will be one Of the
most formidable contenders in
both the international match be-
tween the English and United
States teams at the West Side
Tennis Club Stadium, August 10
and IL, and the wOmen's ma
tiOnal championship which fol.
low, beginning August IS.
It is understood that Miss Wills
will devote the next week or two
to practice on the turf courts at
the West Side Tennis Club and will
probably make her Eastern debut
for 1923 in the Seabright Lawn
Tennis and Cricket Clubs invita-
ton tournament, opening July 80.
Miss Wills is the present holder
of the girls singles and doubles
which she won at
Philadelphia last season, and, was
runner-up to Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt
Mallory in the women's national
championship a year ago.
During her trip from California
Miss Wills stopped off at Glencoe,
ILL.,. to take part in the Illinois
championship tournament.
She won the women'S singles
championship Of the State, defeat
ing Miss M. A. Leighton, 60, 60,
showing remarkable control of her
speed and strokes and superb court
strategy in every game.

ST. LOUIS, July 14.-Happy Is

Allan Russell in his squad, is to be
congratulated. 1t was RusselIs

the poor old Griffmen to leave
town last night with one victory

Neither was there at the end Of
the day. Three innings was too
much for either sandlotter.
The Browns hoped on Sedgwick
in the opening frame, scoring three
runs. Bill Jacobson's double drove
two runs across the plate, the big
fellow following a moment later on
a single by McManus.
The Griffs tore Root limb from
limb in the third, driving him from
the rubber. Ruel singled and Lei
bold walked with one gone. Bluege
drove a single to left and so did
Goslin. Rice's double sent two
more lads scampering over the
pan. Pruett was rushed to the
hill and he disposed of the next
two guests.
Thereafter the game became
added run in the fifth, which the
Browns got back in the seventh,
but there was an explosion in the
ninth when Urban Shocker was
pounded for three runs, clinching
the victory for the visitors. Evans,
Rice and Charity whacked sin
giles, Bluege got a two-bagger. An
error and a double steal counted

two games from the Braves the

ing is making New York a pop
ular summer resort. The big
ring attractions are not only
keeping fight fans in the city,

sands of others within Gothan's

The bouts are coming thick

Leonard-Tendler mix-up at the
Yankee Stadium on July %
will keep the fans interested,
and right after that the Criqui-
Dundee fight at the Polo

title will keep ring interest at
a high pitch.
New York has never expert

days play. Jock is no flash golfer.
For years he has been one of the
worlds best He has won a major
championship in Britain, but never
in America. l think he is about
to break through.
But before Hutchinson wins he
will have to stop Bobby Jones,
that surprising young man from
Atlanta. Here we have been play
ing golf all year and down comes
Mr.. Jones from a winter spent lean
ing over his books in the Harvard

which puts him in second place.

Poor little Gene Sarazen. Over
In Britain this spring the AmerI-
cans introduced Gene as "Our lit

benignly and make himself pOpu-
lar. felt sorry tor SaraZen. No
one ever enjoyed a championship
now the tickle thing has deserted
him, for Gene is fifteen shots be-
hind Hutchinson and thirteen be-
hind Jones and strokes behind
numerous other good golfers. He
cannot win.
Sarazen, I believe, under-clubbed
himself many times in his rounds
yesterday, and besides this, he putt
ed badly. His scores of 79-78-157
do not represent his true game.
Gene is a great golfer, and has a
long road before him. He is low
passing through painful experience
but such come to all of us.

In 70-74-144 and in the champion

come close to these majo titles
and not quite get there.
Golf is a humbling game. We all
hope that the day will come when
we will be able to put together
four. rounds so low that Colonel
Bogey himself could not pass us,
but that day seems to be a long
time coming.
Walter Hagen, my pal and trav-
cling companion, started today's
play just ten shots behind Hutchi-
son. Hagen was a bit stale i'm the
British open, but his supreme
nerve and fight earned him second
place. He never had his best
touch at TrcOn, nor has he got it
here at ImwOod, yet yesterday
a,IUrn IN lac gave a great demon.
stratiOn of his competitive spirit
when he refused to quit and by
the hardest sort of fighting did
o IS.
He was paired with Jones, who
was hitting the ball as we'll as a
golf ball was ever struck by any
player. Jones was playing without
effort. He had his touch, yet his
total of % was only two better than
Hagen, and up until the seventeenth
hole they were on even terms.
Jones holed long puts at the sew
enteenth and eighteenth, beating
Hagen one stroke at each of these
holes. For a fighter give me Hagen
every time. Hagen is trailing by
ten strokes and he probably cannot
win. but he will struggle for the
best position he can get. / wish it
= hIo for me to watch him
today, but I have an important en-
gaSeInenI OF my own.
