SPORTS. Helen Wills Lauds Present Tennis Form of Vincent Richards, Youthful Netman ASSERTS VINNIE EXCELLED | IN MATCHES AT SEABRIGHT - - | Credits Miss Elizabeth Ryan as Leading Woman Play- er of Tournament—Hails John Doeg as Most Promising Young Netman. BY HELEN WILLS. N the Seabright Lawn Tennis and Cricket Club's fifticth anniversary tournament the splendid entry list in all events brought out some thril'ing matches, and also an interesting and colorful audience. Of the players and matches that I watched during the week, a number of mmpressions stand out. The good form of several of the en- trants gives promise of a very good tennis season for them. With others the strenuous matches showed up the faults which must be overcome be- fore the more important events later in the scason Mr. William Johnston was far from hic usual torm. possibly because of the terrific heat of the day on which he played. Morecover. the tourna ment here was his first game on grass this year. I could hardly recog- nize the game which | have sccn him play so often at home, with his shots hooming across the net splen- did’y. Mrs. Franklin Mallory’s game was not as decisive as it was at Wimble- don this Spring. and lacked its usual speed. On the other hand. a number of other players were most impressive. Vincent Richards rose splendidly from the slump of his foreign play, and now scems to be playing better than he ever has before. If the Richards of Wimbledon had met the Richards oi Secabright «the latter would have scored a straight-set victory, with the loss of very few games. His court covering was mar- velous. He secemed to be able to reach evervthing. no matter in what impossible angles the shois of Manuel Alonso, his opponent, came. A young player could have found no better volleving to watch. Speed. decision, | efféctivences and fine form were all there—a perfect example of what the volley should be.
