1924 to win just such doubles victory.
If there is any one who can make Miss
Wills as formidable in tandem play as
she is in singles, it is Mrs Wightman,
and with the Boston player leading the
attack at the net and Miss Wills driving
from the back court theirs was a
smooth working combination which
fully deserved its easy victory
There was none of the singles on
double style of play court" which results
when Bill Tilden tries tandem play.
Miss Wills has now been doubles
champion four times and singles title
holder on five occasions. In doubles
she scored in 1922 with Mrs. John B.
Jessup. in 1924 and 1928 with Mrs.
Wightman and in 1925 with Mary K.
Browne. In singles she has won every
year since 1928 except in 1926 when she
was i'll.
Never In all that period has Miss
Wills shown her supremacy in indf-

did against Miss Jacobs The player

Molla Mallory. former champion, among
