Wilmer Likes HeIen'S Game,
Not Confident of Own
at Wimbledon.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
II ONDON, June 22.-As a prelude
to the classic Wimbledon
4 championships starting Mon
@ day, Americas No. l singles
player, Wilmer Allison, completed a
week Of competition today by shar-
ing the honors in two divisions Of
play In the Queens Club tournament.
Allison reached the final round Of
the mems singles, along with David
Jones of New York, and paired with
Helen Jacobs, American woman title
holder, to gain the mixed doubles
final, the deciding matches in both
events, however. were abandoned, as
q result of delays caused by bad
weather and the proximity Of Wimble-
don. The names of all finaliSts will
be inscribed on the trophies.
Allison Beats Bulge.
A MISON disposed of his young
= Davis cup teammate, Donald
Bulge Of Oakland, Calf, 10-8. 6-3,
while Jones defeated Daniel Prem Of
Germany, &c, 60, 6-3, in the
singles semi-finals.
In the mixed doubles Allison and
Miss Jacobs first disposed. of Henry
Culley Of California, and Nellie Adam
son, Belgian champion. IS, 60,
then defeated Rene Mathieu and J.
Leseur of France, 60, Is, in the
Semi-flnals. They will share the title
with Nine. Sylvia Henrotin and A.
Martin-Legeay of France.
Allison was high in his praise Of
Miss Jacobs play, saying Il never
saw Helen serving better" He was
none too optimistic of his own chances
in the Wimbledon tournament, where
England'S Fred Perry will defend the
singles crown. Allison meets Vivian
McGrath, young Australian, in the
first round.

+ ENGTHY hitting from the tee will
IL be so common at Congressional
this week that as soon as the custo-
mers get over their chin-dropping and
their ah-ing and oh-ing at watching
these college boys smack the ball into
far-away spots, they will regard 800
yard tee shots as commonplace.
But underneath and beyond the
lusty slugging of the boys will be a
hidden menace-the sinister mean
ing of the tough and thick rough
which borders every fairway at Con-
gressional and which is going to be
the doom of many boy who hopes
to get far along the championship
trail.
Congressional, with its great length
Of 7,055 yards, its tightly trapped
greens and its great one-shot holes,
was tough enough before this tourna-
ment. But now, with the rough per-
mitted to grow to proportions even
the oldest member cannot recall, 1t
is going to be one of the roughest
scoring propositions over which the
college boys ever have held their
championship. .
This does not mean that par will
not be broken. We think it will, and
not once, but several times. For the
college boys can hit the ball straight
as well as maui it away out there
where the brides twitter.
Normally a course measures around
$500 yards. Congressionars has been
stretched out by use of extreme rear
tees and by using two entirely new
tees so that today and for the tour
nament it measures well over 1000
yards, putting it in class with Oak
mont and other layouts of national
championship caliber.
It will be a real test of the game
where only the rugged and stout OF
heart and wrist will move along the
narrow path to the hole-side.

Interested in Concert
The subjects brought up dur
ing the hour or more allotted by
Mrs. Roosevelt to the conference
ranged from her tentative plans
for the end of the week which
are all subject to Colonel Howe'S
condition.
One of the engagements ahead
which is of particular interest
to her is the great gala con-
cert" to be given in New York
at the Metropolitan, by ALI
American opera and concert ar
fists, in combination W it h the
Philharmonic Symph hony on
Tuesday, April 2, at p. M, for
the benefit Of Mrs. Roosevelt'S

this outstanding event is COM
posed of Mrs. William Randolph

Astor, vice chairman; Mr.. James
w. Gerard, treasurer, a n d Mr..
Herbert Witherspoon, director.
Remembers Engagements
The question, if she made en-
gagements as far ahead now as
July, was put to Mrs. Roosevelt,
and her answer was to the ef'
feet that she planned her sched'
ules tentatively. When people
wrote her as far ahead as that
about something tn at they
wanted her to do, she replied
that she could not say anything
definitely now for she did not
know what her husbands sum-
mer plans were as yet.
She vouchsafed the informa-
tion that she already had invita-.
tions to speak next october and
November, and that she would
try to fill them, IF she was still
alive" This is proviSo that
anyone would make about things
so far distant. She was quite
frank to say that she could re-
member h er engagements two
and three weeks ahead,
Whether politicians discussed

they intended to vote, with

thing else" To all of which
the Presidents wife listened po-
litely, and her comment, a
rather general one, was to the
effect that there should be a
give and take of opinion between
married people or friends on
things in which they were both
interested.
"A Soft Answer"
Apropos Of a recent incident
to do with a certain Cabinet Of
ficer being asked to speak at a
Western college, and a letter
written by one of its alumnae
anent it, a lively interchange
of ideas was indulged in on
what constitutes a snub.
Mrs. Roosevelt's comment
was that she never thought
much about it, but it was prob
ably the effort of a person who
feels superior to make another
feel inferior, but first, one
would have to find someone
they could make feel that way.
Also, that it's rare that a
kindly person administers a
Snub.

. very emphatic denial on the
part of Mrs. Roosevelt that she
accepted fees or travelling ex-
penSes for meetings at which
she spoke, except Of course the
money she makes with her
writings and radio addresses,
and few remarks about peace,
which she feels lies largely in
women'S hands, brought the
mornings conference to a close.
