HELEN Hit
MILE
BY Davis ]. walsh

.
NEW YORK. Feb. q. There are
two really great women tennis
players IN the world and the ether
one is Mary X. Browne. II the writer
Is to be relied upon to Judge the
purport Of q statement given him to-
day by Suzanne Lenglen. The above
idea can be construed az d some.
what free translation OF what the
lady actually did say.
She said, in just So many words,
thaS she thought Mary Browne was
q bOtteR tennis player today than
Helen wills. To give Suzanne her
due, she didn't even mention herself
in this connection. She didn't have
to. Everyone knows the lady Is
good. She may even suspect it her
self.
However, it had been understood
that everyone considered Miss Wills
as the unofficial runner.up in world
ranking, amateur and professional,
but it seems not. There Is a minority
opinion and 1t appears to consist OF
Suzanne Lenglen.
From facing Miss Wills at Cannes
and Mary Browne in our series Of
professional exhibitions, II would be
inclined to favor Miss Browne to
win, Suzanne declared without
hesitation. Mays Improvement
during the trip has been marvellous.
Her backhand once was weak: now.
It Is strong. oh, SO strong.
Her strokes are ever so much
more severe, her service has become
stronger and her court strategy is
improved immeasureably. never
know what TO expect from her next.
II Miss Browne and Miss wills were
to meet today, / think would favor
Mary as the winner. I think she Is
the superior of Miss McKane, too.'

Due to & rather inconsistent pro-
cedure, the Calvary M. e. basketball
team. indicated in the Washington
Senior League, has had one sOf its
six victories taken away, though
Calvary In no way Ia at fault.
In an early game, played before
the leagues eligibility code was per.
fected. Calvary defeated the Glover
team. Soon after the league framed
a rule that made three Of Calvary's
players ineligible. However, it was
voted that the game should stand.
A plea by the CIovers Eeopened
the case. and they won their
point In an open meeting, to wit:
That inaSmuch as none of the
other teams had been forced to
play the original Calvary lineup
Il was only fair that the game be
repsayed. The managers present
voted unanimously to grant the
Clover plea. incidentally, the
Calvary manager was absent.
Thus, to maintain q clean slate,
Calvary must defeat the Clovers

OF the twenty-eigLt bowIers IN
the Howard Campbell Sweepstakes,
exactly twenty have shot their
bolts, it was generally conceded
today. The ninth man, Max
Rosenberg, will enter the final
5-game set next Saturday night
at Convention Hall, rs pins be-
hind the leader, Perez Elicit, who
has q 10-game total of 1,248.
To pick up 70 naples on PIERCE
Elicit IS considered so much Of
q feat that not even Rosenberg'e
staunchest supporters hope for 4
victory. And if the redoubtaBIe
Make is counted out of the rum
ming it is a natural conclusion
that none of the nineteen that
follow him has more than ghost
Of a chance.
Not merely because he is out
front now, but due to his known
dependability under all conditions
Perez Elicit rules distinct favor
lite. His rivals are Dutch Weidman
with l,237; Joe Mulroe. 1910: Henry
Hiser. 1,2OS; Glenn Wolstenholme
POT; Red MeGaw. 1.201: Freddie
Moore, LIB. and Jack Whaien

OF these eight, only Elicit, with
go and 63S, and Hiser. with sos
and 600, have rolled both sets over
500. They have wavered at times
but not for long, showing marked
ability to recover when disaster
threatened.
