Miss Wills and
Richards Win
Tennis Singles Crowns

Columbes France, July 2O-(By A.
P)-The two young tennis stars,
Miss Helen Wills and Vincent Rich
ards, captured the olympic singles
crowns today and clinched another
brilliant team triumph for the Unit
ed States.
Miss Wills, playing with the calm
and steady assurance which marked
her victorious progress all week, de-
cisively vanquished Mile. Emilienne
Vlasto, a French girl of Greek par
eEtage, in the women's final, GO, 6-2,
but Richards was forced to battle
through a hard five set match under
a broiling sun to take the measure of
his young French rival, Henri CO.
Chef, GA. GA, 81, 4-G, 6-2, for the
mems title.
A crowd Of more than 5000 swell
tering under the torrid heat was
stirred to a high pitch of enthusiasm
by the two Franco american con-
tests. While the sympathies natu-
rally were with the losers, the spec
tators, with a few scattered excep-
tons, gave applause to the youthful
contestants impartially and cheered
the Americans enthusiastically when
the final points were won and lost in
each match.
The double victory. marking the
greatest international conquests
either young American has yet gain
cd, gave the United States the third
straight olympic net championship
and the points which made victory
for the American team certain. 1t
was the second crown for Miss Wills.

emerged victorious from the semi
finals this afternoon and will stage
an all-American battle for the title
tc morrow. while Richards ana
Francis r. Hunter will seek the
mems doubles honors against the
French stars, Cochet aud Brugnon. :,
BY todays, achievement the United
States now has 80 points which, with
the assurance of at least 20 more to-
morrow, is a total sufficient to eclipse
that of any rival, France being the
nearest with 90 points and Great
Britain next with 10.
