Two Ladies Who Can Hit New York, April 27 P—Europe cems about to be entertained for a while by American girls who can hit. 1t is sald of Glenna Collett, now en a golfing quest to England, that she hits the ball like a man. 1f any- one doubts the maseuline severity of Helen Wills' tennis strokes, such doubts may be removed by brie discussion with sgveral of America’s “first ten” ranking list who have exchanged drives with the Californ- fan. This is Miss Wills' fourth trip to Europe. It cannot be called an in- Ivasion because she is just as much she is at home. ready for her occupancy and it will be quite as big a shock to those abroad as it will be here if “our Helen" does not engage in another conquering match, through Germany, Holland and France, as well as Brit- ain. “I look forward keenly to rencw- ing acquaintances abroad,” she said before departing recently with Miss Penelope Anderson of Richmond as a playing partner. “I was very proud to win the Wimbledon cham- pionship last year and I liope to have | some good play again.” No confillent prediction here from the girl who didn't lose a match at liome or abroad Jast year, who pos- sesges stroking power never before exhibited by a feminine player and who successes have gained for her { undisputed ascendancy to the tennis throne occupied for so long by Su- zanne Lenglen.

A New Britain team will not be entered in the Connecticut State League, according to the announce. ments emanating from league head« quarters and Manager John Cabay of the KFalcons of this city. Because of the insistent demand of the Fal- cons that they be glven the privilege of playing all their Sunday league games at home, the managers of. other teams cntered in the leagus decided to hear the applications of other teams seeking admiselon and to drop the Falcons from the roster of teams in the circuit, Manager John Cabay stated this morning that members of the local club were averse to leaving thelr home grounds on any Sundays dur. | ing the coming season and because the league managera could not agree to this, the Falcons have decided to | play independent baseball. The Hardware City club will open its season Sunday at St. Mary's fie!'d at 3 o'clock against the strong St. of Hartford. The | visitors are bringing a galaxy of dla- mond stars to this city that makes it one of the strongest baseball clubs in the section, The lineup of the 8t. Anthony club is an imposing one.

When she first won the American title in 1923 at Forest Hills from Molla Mallory it is related by Miss s that she was “so utterly sur- | prised that the ouly feeling I ex- perienced was one of gnnoyance with the umpire, who jumped down from the chair and Kissed me on both cheeks.” Miss Willis was 17 later she won the Olympic cham- pionship.
