The outstanding professional
golfer Of 1925 in England is A. Comp
son, the North Manchester giant.
When Compston won the British
professional match play champion
ship, it was the second $4,000 tour
nament that he has captured this
year. Compston Is a money player
on the style Of Walter Hagen. He
believes he is the. best golfer in all
Great Britain and is always willing
to prove it.
In addition to winning the two
big money golf stakes OF the year
in England, he finished in a tie for
second honors in the British open,
which was won by Jim Barnes. He
also tied with Arnaud Massey for the
French oper, title, but lost the play

u. s. G A DOMINATES ON
TITLE TENNIS COURTS
TiIden Is Best of Racquet w ieIders = French Runners
up in Davis Cup International Play.

Tany tournament as being for the
worlds championship. but Tilden is
universally accepted as the worlds
champion.
In the mems class, the comeback
OF Billy Johnston, the popular little
Californian, was one Of the most
pleasing features of the year.
He played himself out In the cup
matches and was not in condition
for the week of hard TENNIS in the
nationals. but, at that. he played
some of the greatest tennis OF his
career during the tournament and
it was only the wizard tennis Of TIL
den that beat him.
At Wimbledon
Preparing for the future, when
Tilden and Johnston will have to
be replaced. the tennis association
sent John Hennessy and Ray Casey,
two youngsters. to the British cham
pionships at wimbledon. and they
made a very good showing.
The French influence at Wimble-
don was pronounced as the two final
lists agslin were the French young
sters, Lacoste and Borotra and La
coste displaced his teammate as the
champion.
In the women's class, the big sur
prise of the season came when Helen
Wills, the national champion, was
defeated in IN early tournament by
Elizabeth Ryan. the former Califor-
mia girl, who returned to this coun-
try after having spent ten years in
England.
The match was played on a court
so sloppy that Miss Ryan took off
her shoes and the young American
champion couldn't handle the soft,
chop strokes of her opponent.
Miss Wills Champ
Miss Wills swept through the
national championship in impressive
style and had very little trouble re-
tanning her title. Mrs. Molla NAL
lory, the former champion, made a
valiant attempt at a comeback, but
her best tennis days seem to have
passed.
The British woman's team success
fully defended the Wightman Cup at
Forest Hills by winning the third
match of the series from the Amer
lean team. ?
The return to form of Mile. SUI
anne Lenglen was also n of the
features Of the year.
