WOMAN NET STARS
LABELED "SNOBBISH"
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

NEW YORK, August 24-Woman
tennis stars are the most snobbish
crowd of women in the world. So
at least AYERS a woman who used to
beat most oAthem when they were in
their early stages of development, and
then retired from play for several
years.
She returned to tourney play this
year, and while she did not get any
father than she expected, she plays
very good tennis and is satisfied that
next season she will go higher in the
national tournament than she did
this year.
Coming back to the game" she
said, Il noticed many things that did
not obtain when / was in the full
swing of things. There used to be
kindlier spirit on the part of the blaz-
ing stars for the younger aspirants,
a helpful attitude.
But now the clannishness-you
may call it snobbishness-of the out
standing women players is really
rather amazing. They stick together
like a crowd of mandarines and never
seem to see the smaller fry. This
Is hardly helpful, or encouraging for
the young and ambitious tourney girls
But then the whole atmosphere is
far more business-like and snappy
than 1t used to be. One of the amaz-
ing things is the present system of
rub-downs and massaging in the dres-
sing rooms, as though our present
generation of lady stars were prize
fighters or foot ball players.
Very few of our stars condescend
to attend the tennis ball which is
given annually in New York in the
course of the national tourney, but
the English stars, or at least several
of them, were there.
Miss Mckane told me that the fine
showing of the English tennis team in
the Wightman Cup matches, which
the English won, was due to the ab-
sence of the torrid weather which
greatly affected the the English wom-
en- two years ago when they played

WOMEN'S NET FINAL
IS INTERNATIONAL

NEW YORK, August 24.-The
ranking English player and the
American titleholder will meet in
the final round of the women's ma
tional tennis championship this after
noon at Forest Hills. For the sixth
time in three seasons, Kathleen Nc
Kane and Helen Wills will face each
other in championship play. Three
times they have met in the Wightman
Cup matches with the Berkeley girl
the winner twice; Miss McKane de-
feated the other in the final at VIM
bledon last year, and this Afternoon
they will face each other for the
second time in the national champion
ship. Miss Wills won the match in
1928. the year she captured the title
for the first time.
Having scored two legs on the
championship cup, Miss Wills will at
tempt to win the trophy outriGh ht this
afternoon. She faces a far sitter
test than she did in 1923 in taking
the crown from Mrs. Mallory or last
year in defending 1t. If the English
girl plays the tennis this afternoon
that she did in overcoming Miss Ryan
and Mrs. Mallory. the champion will
need to be at the peak of form to
defeat her.
Miss Wills is the slight favorite but
Miss Mckane has almost as many
hackers. The manner in which she
fought her way to victory over Miss
Ryan and Mrs. Mallory after dropping
the first set to each has shown that
the invader is a fighter to the last
ditch and most to be feared when she
is trailing.
Miss Wills, too. has shown the same
ability to rise to the greatest heights
and stem the tide when near defeat.
Both Joan Fry of England and Flea
nor Goss took the first set from her in
her last two matches and in each in
stance she played them to a stand
still in the two following sets.
Miss Wills chances of victory today
depend much upon her ability to
break up the net attack of Miss Nc
Kane. With each succeeding match
the English girl has developed her
net play to stage of greater effective
ness and it was her volleying that
brought about the defeat of Mrs. Nal
lory after the New York woman had
constantly brought her rushes to
naught with marvellous passing shots.
Miss Wills has not shown the in
clination to seek the net this year
that she did last season and
seems to have lost some of her con-
fidence overhead, but her work in the
doubles match on Saturday showed
that she is capable of brilliant work
within the service court. In the mat
ter of service the Berkeley girl has an
advantage over her opponent. She
has much more pace on the ball.

JOHNSTON CARRIES
TENNIS BOWL AWAY

NEWPORT, r. l., August 24.-Wil-
liam NJ. Johnston. q member of the
American Davis Cup team, and a for
mer national champion, gained per
manent possession of the Newport
Casino silver trophy yesterday by de
feating Brian G.. Norton of st. Louis
in the final of the ninth annual invita-
ton tennis tournament, 6-3, 6-3,
6-3.
Johnston made his 1925 Newport
season complete when, with his part
ner, Clarence J. Griffin, he won the
Casino doubles final from Ray Casey
of California and Norton, GO, 6-1,
81, 2-6, 6--1.
Johnston had little difficulty with
Norton, although the former South
African Davis Cup star started off in
fiery fashion and took the first two
games. Thereafter Johnston was SUI
preme as he steadied, became the ag-
gressor and dominated the situation.
He played brilliantly at crucial points
when Norton was dangerous, but that
was not often, and the battle re-
manned one of long range.
As the match wore on, Johnston had
little to do but to let Norton beat him
self, except when the Californian found
it necessary to finish off Il long rally
for the point.
Il6 VI IilC
doubles was peculiar. Johnston and
Griffin were far superior in the first
two sets-in fact, they had everything
to themselves. Then a shift suddenly
came on the other side of the net.
Casey and Norton reused from an ap-
parent lethargy when Johnston and
Griffin led in the third set al. Casey,
serving with his cannon-b ball deliveries,
won the game at love, and the pair
took two more as Johnston and Griffin
endeavored to recover. The set was
lost and so was the next as the whirl-
wind attack of the younger pair pro-
gressed. The Californians could not
steady themselves and the score stood
two sets all, to the amazement of the
gallery.
Johnston and Griffin then brought
about a quick recovery, and after los
ing the first game of the final and de-
Gliding set they again returned to nor
NAL. Casey's power faded, Norton was
unable to bear the brunt of the attack
alone and the veteran pair won in a
walk.

expected to win against such held
as will compete at Olympia Fields.
Thomson is a product of Scotland a
little, wiry chap who weighs in the
neighborhood of 125 pounds. He hits
a golf ball with the best OF them, but
hasn't quite the length of some of
the far rangers of golfdom. In these
days of the heavy, lively ball, how
ever given a fast course, even the
short hitter can very nearly hold his
own with the siege guns OF the game.
Thomson from $50 yards away takes
on the mantle of a Fred Mcleod, for
he is accuracy personified with a
mashie. With his putter, however
Thomson is the king pin of profeS-
sional golf about the Capital. 1t Is
doubtful, indeed. II any other profes-
sional about the city can equal the
