Miss Wills, wearing stockings, drew
all the crowds that could pack the
stands about the No. / Wimbledon
court as she won her match.

to whether Miss Wills, who likes to play
without the impediment of stockings,
would follow her custom at staid and
dignified Wimbledon.
Her tennis was superb, but her stock
ings we're just ordinary everyday sort
of apparel They we're silk, but nothing
fancy at the heels. The English girl
pair of yellow socks rolled over her
stockings.
Of1icials had not decreed that the
woman players should wear stockings,
but IL seemed all did as q matter of
preference, and, any way, 1t was not
too warm today.

than two points in any game with Miss
Wills. The American girl rounded out
the first set with a love game and
opened the second set with another
