Primarily. if the British players go
down to defeat as they did at Sea-
bright, We shall have new light upon
the question of acClimatization. which
has been moot topic of conversation
even since Mrs. Mallory was So sig
nally defeated by Lenglen in France
and at Wimbledon three years ago
and "A year later took revenge upon
the French girl at Forest Hills.
Last Weeks Games No Test.
At least two of the British women
Miss Mckane and Mrs. Beamish, have
demonstrated more than once their
ability to defeat our champion in
overseas matches, and yet they come
here and fall before the prowesS or
the American woman Reservations
in the matter of accepting last week 5
games as a thorough test of the abll-
ity of the international stars relate
to the fact that the invaders stepped
almost directly from the deck of the
ocean liner to the courts. And that
was asking great deal of them.
Now. however. with the passing or
more than a week since our visitors
completed their tranSa tlantic voyage
we may certainly expect them to show
an approximation Of their real form
But, in all fairness, we may look only
for approNima ton.

five singles and two doubles, that be-
gin the end of the week would be
extremely significant as indicating
their superiority over the Americans.
Western Girl Disnppoints.
Another phase of the matches that
will hold spectators in thrall Will be
q comparison of the form of Mrs. NAL
lory and Miss Wills. 1t is not saying
too much TO assert that Miss wills
play at Seabright was Il distinct dis
appointment to the host of admirers
of the personality and athletic ablllty
of this girl from California.
She. seemed unable to rise to eX-
pected heights in any departmen or
play and this has been explained on
the ground that the intense heat ap-
parentIy Sapped her vitality and took
the edge from her game.
But on Saturday and Monday under
atmospheric conditions that promise
to lend themselves more favorably TO
sustained effort. the Pacific coast star
may be expected to show Il return to
her early season form. and since she
and Mrs Mallory are likely to meet
common opponents we shall be ape
to make further comparison OF the
form of the two American stars.

On the up swing of drive, the
left heel may be lifted, but not more
than one inch. If the heel is lifted
more than this the body will sway
to the right, thus destroying the
balance, making it impossible to
shift the weight back to the left leg
in time to get the full power from
the stroke. At the top of the swing
the weight should be equally bal
anced on both feet, as in the case of

The Flor da delegates were practically solid in favor of taking the convention to their state next year, and there was no serious effort made by any other place. The annual election resulted in choice of district officers as fol- lows: IT, Frank Williamson of An niston. district governor; C. E. BaX- ter of Huntsville, lieutenant governor for Alabama; Scott NJ, Loftin of Jacksonville. Fla, lieutenant gov ernor for Florida; Jeff Fl. Bailey of Birmingham secretary and treasurer.
 For the second time the delegates in open convention voted down proposition to divide the district into two parts, Florida and Alabanla. Di- vision was recommended by the dis trict trustees because of the ex- treme distance between north Ala bama and south Florida, but the del- crates voted their desire to have it remain that way.
 ! Features of today's session were addresses by Paul E. MacReady of Birmingham, assistant international secretary, on principles of Kiwanism, in which he emphasized the respon- sibilfty of kiwanis clubs in the civic life of their communities; w. R. Pet .teway of Tampa, on Kiwanis work among unfortunate boys, and Ii. F' Williamson of Anniston, on the un- derprvileged child.
