just like child and we did humor
her for a while. but now she knows
she must not take sany strenuous eX-
ercises and we are sure that she will
soon be her old-time self again.
Miss Wills was asked whether she
had sent a cablegram TO the mana gers
of the Wimbledon tournament saying
that she intended to participate. "oh,
yes. | sent that Cablegram,' she re-
piled with a flash of her old-time self.

on. All my friends told me / would

to believe them. In fact they tell me
that my first words when | same out

Miss Wills said that she had en-
joyed the channel crossing, which
was smooth and that she was feel
ing splendidly. but that she had de-
cided not to participate at Wimble-
don upon the cable advice of her
father, who is a physician, and OF
her friends She said she plans to
attend all the matches. She has
decided that 1t will be inadvisa bic
for her TO take part in match play
before late July when she will be
back in the United States.
Capt Mary Browne of the Amer

now here for Wimbledon, and nu-
merous English admirers were on
hand to greet Miss Wills and to offer
their sympathy for her illness.
BERKELEY. Calf, June 19 CP>.
Helen Wills father DR.. c. A. Willis,
does not want his daughter to take
up competitive tennis until at least
FIVE weeks after her operation, which
was performed June a. He advised
her, he said today. to take her
racquets with her to Wimbledon and
practice hitting the ball. but not
to play any match game.
DR. Wills, a physician and surgeon.
said from the way the operation for
appendicitis was performed on Helen
he does not have any fear. but that
his daughter will be just as good
on the courts as before. AS far as
the operation is concerned, lac said,
she could play today. but he advised
her to take five weeks rest ito re-
gain her strength.

Previous to this kinsey had de-
feated the young Cambridge player,
II. w. Austin. in an interesting con-
test in which the young collegian
showed improved form over that
against Richards yesterday. This
match also went four sets, and while
Austin never had a chance to win, he
made kinsey exert himself at all
stages. The scores were 6-3, 2-6,
e., 6-1.
Richards had O. G.. n. Turnbull as
an opponent, and while the veteran
British inteTnationaliSt put up a hard
fight in each set, he did not succeed
in making Richards extend himself,
as the American was nearly always
in front and won in straight sets,
e, "a, "a.
The doubles, which followed, found
the Americans somewhat tagged.
while the Biitons were fresh. and
Richards and Kinsey really had Il
fight on their hands to come off the
victors. They lost the second set. in
which the BIitishers surpassed them
both in steadiness and brilliancy, and
after winning the third rather easily,
found the fourth and last Il hard
Struggle indeed. Richards was lit
tie more uncertain in his service than
usual at the beginning of the set, and
the British pair found openings for
winning strokes through the ordi-
narily air-tight American combina-
tion.
1t was tive-all when the Americans
really settled down, and then they had
their troubles in taking the next two
games. Tho Americans made it 6-5
after a sizzling deuce game. and a
fire smash by Richards won the final
point and the match for the United
States 1t was by getting in, their
best grade of teamwork that they
were able to run out the set with
brilliant shots for the finale. just
when it seemed as if the match would
go five SETS
The sportsmanlike and fashionable
British crowd loudly applauded the
winners as they walked off the field.
