NV July 0.-1all Bill IllQen,
Y Y at the age of 81, today
came back for the VIM
bledon tennis title he last won nine
years ago and by defeating Will

the one from Boston, the other from
San Francisco. Then Miss Ryan paired
with the Australian, Jack Crawford, to
win the mixed doubles championship
81, 6-3 from the Germans, Daniel
Prem and Frauleln Krahwinkel.
Thus with Mrs. Moodys victory yes
terday In the women's singles over Miss
Ryan added to the total, three Wimble-
don titles have gone to the United
States in the greatest sweep any nation
has ever made at Wimbledon. Miss
Ryan shares fourth and the fifth will
cross the Atlantic Monday afternoon
when George Lott and Johnny Doeg
play Allison and John Van Ryn for the
mems doubles crown. These five are
all the titles there were to be won in
the two weeks of international play.
