Miss Wills Shows
Old Time Form

NEW YORK, May 12.-IIclon
Wills shows better form and m0rn
versatility now than ever before,
New York trnnis experts believed
after watching the former National
champion play two practice sets
against Elmer Griffin yesterday.
Many who saw Miss Wills aal
Griffin split two sets predicted the
California girl not only would rc-
gain hcr national championship,
which she rclinquiShcd last year
after an appendicitis operation, hut
also would win the Wimbledon
tournament in England
Miss Wills played tricky game,
placing more accurately and clcv-
crly than formerly, and after she
warmed up, seemed TO have at least
as much power rs before in her
drives. She did NOT attempt to put
her greatest force behind her serves.
She won the first set, g., but lost
the second SO

LOS ANGELES, May IL Paul
Jones, former Texas cowboy, today
looms as formidable challenger
for Joe Stecher's heavyweight
wrestling crown.
In match at the Olympic last
night that savored of branding
time on the cattle range Jones won
the second and third falls from
Nick Lutte, erstwhilc collegian.
Lutte took the first fall with a
short arm scissors in 80 minutes IS
seconds. Jones came back after
the rest period and after several
minutes graphing held Lutte in a
vise-likc hook scissors until he
"bulldogged him into submission
in 29 minutes, 80 seconds.
After a second rest period Jones
attempted to apply another scissors
with Lutte dartmg to the ropes in
an effort to shake him off. In the
scramble both wrcstlers were pre-
cipitatcd into the press row. Jones
scrambled back into the ring after
some delay. Lutte, unconscious
from collision with a ringside seat
was not revived until removed to
a dressing room.
This awarded the fall TO Jones in
ii minutes six seconds.
Renato Gardini and Paul Hanson,
heavyweight, wrestled an hour with
out fall. The pair put on rough
and tumble show that drew alter
nate cheers and "boohs' from the
fans.

! weight champion, refused to go on
