Valderama Wins

frankie Aragon spoiled what
might otherwise have been a good
scrap at Calexico last night, when
he fouled Tony Valderama with a
low blow in the second round of
the main event.
Nalderama was counted out and
Aragon s hand raised as winner,
only to have the little Filipino s
handlers claim a foul. Tony was
carried from the ring to the dress
ing room, where he was examined
by physicians who declared he had
been hit low. Announcement was
then made from the ring that the
fight had been awarded to Nalde-
rama on a foul.
According to those who claim TO
have seen the blow, which the writ
cr did not see, it started as Wei

ma in the groin as it travelled, and
eventually landing on his chin.

Wills, No. ! on the team, is playing
the best tennis of her life.
| DO not think the English ladies

they did two years ago when they
came to America. The English have
better doubles combinations, having
learned the all-important teamwork
so essential in good doubles play.
| practiced yesterday with Molia
Mallory and found her just the
same marvellous Molla, who always
seems to play her strokes with con
fidence and fine direction. She is
a two stroke player, possessing only
the forehand and backhand drive,
and devoid of Il net game, severe
service or Il chop.
Suzanne Lenglen very rarely
comes to the net in singles, though
She volcys brilliantly. Helen Wills
comes in IA little oftcncr than Su-
zannc, but not regularly by any
means. The reason is mainly that
ground strokes generally have i'm
proved 50 much that the advance to
the net must be very carefully pre-
pared or the point will be lost.
The fact, however, that both Su-
zanne Lenglen and Helen Wills can
play the net if drawn to that posi-
ton, is an asset which Mrs. Mallory
does not possess, the lack OF which
is sometimes embarrassing to her.
Tho srmi-final matches of the
ladies' singles at Seabright bring

Goss and Molla Mallory and Char
lotte Chaplin. The results OF these
matches viii 90 long way to de-
, termine the singles player to sup
