Tennis Title Defense
Won't Be Easy Job,
Sarah Cooke Says
Her Come Hos Improved,
But PouIine Betz, Main
Rival, Also Is Better
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CORAL GABLES, Fla, Jan. 90
Pretty Sarah Cooke believes she's
hitting a tennis ball harder and
better than when she won the ma
tional championship, but she's by no
means convinced her title will be
easy to retain.
Pauline Betz's playing has def
nitely improved since 1 beat her in
the final at Forest Hills" the bru-
nette star explained.
She's hitting her volleys and her
forehands better and she's making
some beautiful recoveries.
Her Game Is More Aggressive.
"Of course, she's not the only one
to contend with. Dorothy Bundy
and Helen Jacobs will be tough and
several of the younger girls may sur
prise any of the four of US"
Mrs. Cooke, just back from a
South American exhibition tour with
her husband, Elwood, said she be-
ll6NeO COIlSGdllU pl dSoASC "AeAA AAAAAA
had improved her own game.
"I think it's more aggressive than
it was and I've certainly learned to
handle speed better"
! She added an opinion that Paul
inc and I are playing about even
now"
That estimate appeared remark
ably correct when she and the gold
en-haired californian took the court
for an exhibition match during the
University of Miami invitation tour
nament.
Mulloy Takes Singles.
1t was the first time they had met
since Mrs. Cooke returned to this
country and there appeared to be
little to choose between them. The
match was ended by agreement at
Tall to allow time for the invitation
finals.
Gardner Mulloy of Miami won
the invitational tournament singles
yesterday with 3-6, ga, 8-6,6 Ga
victory over Jack Kramer of Oak
land, Calf, while Billy Talbert OF
Cincinnati and Wayne Sabin of
Reno, New, scored an upset win over
Kramer and Mulloy in the doubles
