There can be no doubt that. for

must be admitted now that she has

up from 2-5 to win the second set

The defeat OF Miss Wills is Just
defeat on her record. Beyond the
momentary glory and few cups
there was nothing vitality at stake in
the match. Her defeat Is no more
OF a. dlscredit to her than the one
she experienced at Seabright last
summer at the hands Of Elizabeth
Ryan, former California star.
The real test is yet to come at
Wimbledon when the champion OF
the world will be at stake officially

which Miss Wills can get herself
and her game more accustomed to

months in which she can work to

Perhaps Miss wills day will not
arrive this year, but It is not very
