PLA By WALTER €AMP (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune) = -NEW YORK, Aug. 21.—Miss Helen Wills’ . play in the national Women’s singles ‘is still being ¢ cussed by tennis enthusiasts young champion, in the writer’s op- inion, is faster and more convicing than when she went abroad. She still lacks sufficient Strength in the ody muscles ‘not to feel the strid- dng pack and forth across the court {2 a hard rally. The general com- faent on this has been—and w2s fol- lywing her match with Miss Browne =-that she is flatfooted. ~ This is unfair. “She can and do: “ gise upon her*toes~and has all the 4 power in thé world in the muscles of = her lower legs, which enables her to = play as much as ‘she likes~on the balls of her feet? The trouble ts not slowness of foot. It might better be @escribed, in comparison with Mlle. Buzanne Lengien, as striding across the court rather than springing from point to point: The French girl, * when at her best, seems to spring ~ Ughtly like a cat, with her hody en- Stirely under contfol, whereas’ Miss ~ Wills fakes twovor three long stridex ~ toward the side line and has to make @ marked’ effort to stop her body from continuing on when she wisbes * t turn and come back. This is also true when she coniws to the net. And even at the mo- ment of advancing, she seems to be preparing to get back and “having gome effect to do it. There is no reason, with the @trength and skill she has, why she should not acquire muscular control = af her body which would diminish the effort in court covering by at least 25 per cent. teams containing such men as Tilden and B.

But Mrs. G. U, strategist, man or woman, is paired with Jean Borotra, the French player, and no one need be sure that this combination will not give all other mixed doubles teams a mighty hard fight. 44 Cigar is made by Consolidated Cigar Corporation New York Distributed by Paxton & Gallagher Casper, Wyo. th © ROUNDINGITY GOLF TOURNEY} | Leaders in Qualifying Play Survive First Round Of Championship Contest for Casper Tnbune Trophies. ae Play in the Casper City golf championship advanced well through the first round yesterday with the major- ity of the favorites in the three flights coming through All first round matches must be finished by to- night and players winning will advance one round per day.
