in the result. Her change of pace
kept the English girl on edge every
minute. Betty'S policy was to drive
with all her force to the corners and
to back court. She altered this plan
for a while in the second set and
changed her pace with noticeable
effect.
1t even looked for a time that the
invading youngster had the young
master on the run. During six games
in this set Betty had Helen scamper-
ing all over the court to make re-
coveries. She held the upper hand.
bombarding Miss Wills away from
the net by rifle-shot drives to the
corners.
During this crisis the American
girl remained unperturbed Her
shots became even. more daring, some
of them sizzling over the net with
only fraction of an inch to spare.
The match looked like n rout for
Miss Nuthall until the sixth game Of
the first set rolled around. Miss Wills
permitted her opponent only six
points during that time and captured
five successive games. Then Betty
scored on her own service, only to
see the champion come right back
and force her into three outs on
service.
Doubles Go Three Sets.
After a short rest Miss Nuthall
paired with Joan Fry in the doubles
finals against Mrs. Kitty McKane
Godfree and Ermyntrude Harvey.
Betty saw her second chance for a
national championship in the course
OF one day vanish by scores of IL,
Cd, 4-6. This all-English final
marked the second time that the
doubles championship had been taken
overseas in a period of five years.
The greater experience and steadi.
ness of Mrs. Godfree and Miss Harvey
predominated over the determination
OF the younger pair Miss Nuthall
again came through with one of her
characteristic rallies however. and in
the second set ran off five games in |
succession to square the match. She |
and Miss Fry made a valiant fight |
in the final set, but the latter's serv- |
ice doubled up IN the tenth game for |
the points that decided the match.

FIRST CHAMPION TO QUIT
RING TO ENTER COLLEGE
Doesn't Even Want to Be Referred to as Champ by
His Fellow Studens--Nlany Aspire to Sit ON
Vacated Flyweight Throne.

Billy Kelly Of Scranton, Izzy
Schwartz, Emil paluso and Newsbov
Brown chime in as titular aspirants.
Little or nothing is heard from one
of the outstanding hyweights of the
country. Willie Davies of Charlerio,
Pa. Davis is the champion Of his State
and boasts a decision and knock
down over NeWsboy Brown. The lat
ter holds a decision over Johnny
Vacca of Boston. Vacca won from
LaBara on two occasions, but the fly
weight title was not at stake either
time. LaBara in his last fight trimmed
Nacca.
Billy Kelly offers to fight any fly
weight in the country for the right
to be called champion. Kelly will do
nate his end of the purse to charity.
The first thing Billy better do is dis
pose of Davies and then buck the line
for national honors.
AS to the others, the promoters
will decide, for after all the best box
office attraction is really the high
light of his division. What profits
a man if he be called champion and
cannot attract the customers?

months before it did. Confidence is d
fine thing, but overconfidence is evil
If the British pretensions were taker
too lightly, if confidence in the Ameri
| can stars was based more upon their

| ability. then the international series
less than a fortnight away will point
! the folly Of taking things for granted.
AS the situation stands at present
| the American team is not at all to-
gether.
Two Stars OF Form.
Milburn, at his best the greatest ex.
ponent of polo in the world, has been
trying to compensate for the failure
of his teammates by carrying the en-
tire burden of attack upon his own
shoulders. Even at the top of his
form this would be impossible. But
Milburn is not at the top of his form
just now. He is, in fact. way off his
game, and those long drives of his
which in past seasons have caused
him to stand out among all poloists
have been reduced by half.
Hitchcock, who also at his best
stands alone up forward, is off his
game. too. He is not in good health
and probably should not be playing
polo at all. If both Hitchcock and
Milburn were on their games they
could mold a team. make it into a
machine. But they are not, and so
the four has no rallying points.
Since the defense of the interna-
tional trophy is not necessarily a
Meadowbrook proposition. it would not
be inadyiSable even at this late hour
to try combinations made up of men
of less illustrious reputation, but of
greater ability to merge their game in
the common good.
