His next partner was Barbara Mos

looked right down onto the top Of

plucked to single line and her small
close lips painted brilliant orange.
She appeared to be dressed in about
half a yard of fiesh-colored tulle and
some beads. She felt as thin and light

She danced eXquisitely. During the

did not say single word only every

looked up disturbingly.
1t was when they were sitting out

she paused and the eyes came into
play.
Laydon said nothing, and after a
moment Barbara dropped her lashes
and said with her faint drawl:

Laydon looked at her with complete

She did not speak at once. Her
words at all times were few and she

HELEN WILLS IS
ONLY YANK STAR
YET UNDEFEATED
Foreign Tennis Players
Raise Havoc With All
Other Americans.
BY HENRY L. FARRELL

] .jACUMBA ENJOYS

NEW YORK, july Out of the
tennis wreckage strewn by Ameri
cans all over the European courts,
only Miss Helen Wills emerged
strong enough to withstand the
next assault of the foreign stars in
August and September.
Bill Tildcn, making serious at
tempt to come back, was beaten in
the French and Wimbledon cham
pionships and he didn't get as far
as the finals at Wimbledon.
Francis T. Hunter was beaten,
Mrs. Molla Mallory, the American
champion, was conquered by a
child novice and Elizabeth Ryan
was defeated. The remaining stars
Of American tennis can be counted
on one fingcr-Bill Johnston.
Miss Wills looks IKE certainty
to win the women s national cham
picnship which she had to surrcn-
der last yoar by default. Mrs.
Kitty McKano Godfree is expected
ia come over with the Wi9htman
cap team and Senorita De Alvarez,
the Spanish star may be persuaded
to come over and add color to the
championship.
Mrs. Godfrcc always has been a
troublesome opponent for MISS
Wills but unless tho Spanish star
has improved her tennis a great
deal since the writer saw her laSt
year her chances against the Amer
lean girl were at least little over
1ated. 49,.

Tjlden may come back in the ma
tional championships and win from
one Of the French invaders, HIS
defeat by Cochct may have been
due to circus tennis and under eS-
timation of Cochet but Tllden
knows better than to underestimate
Coehct.
His defeat probably was due to
