BY MARGARET PLUNKETT N cases of rescue, there is a great risk of overturning a boat when the rescuer does not understand the proper way to lift a body out of the water. Also, it ig a common occurrence that swimmers who have brought drowning persons to a dock or a float are sometimes so exhausted that they are unable to lift the other readily out of the water, Here ayo a few simple directions adaptable to such instances: Place one of the rescued person's hands on top of the other on the edge of the float or boat, In climbing out of the water, keep one of your hands on the two hands of the other person, ‘Then face the person in the water, cross your own hands and take hold Melthe others Lift up and down until momen tum is gained, and then lift the body above the water, uncrossing your hands as you do so, This movement will bring the per. son up, with his back to you, Th this way you will not have to lift him completely out of the water, but only high enough to sit down (Copyright, 1924, N.

BY LEO H. LASSEN ROM the world-famous tennis courts of Wimbledon to the ten- nis of the Malay Peninsula, fs a far ery as is golf on the classic St. An- drews course in Great Britain to golf on « native course in China. But tennin and golf are the same great gumes the world over and, be: causo of thelr universal appeal, are the leading international sports of the world at the present time, Henry Carstens, Seattle business man Sad one of the Northwest's more famous globe trotters, has played golf on courses in nearly every country on the globe and has seen tennis played In nearly every clime. Carstens, who long since has given up tennis for golf because of the strenuous demands of the court game, is still a great racquet fan and he has been a frequent visitor at the Washington state tournament being held at the Seattle tennis club this week, In his world-wide travels ho has had some interesting experiences and, being a good observer, he tells @ good story of tennis and golf in other lands that bears repeating, “Suzanne Lenglen is undoubtedly the greatest woman tennis player that ever stepped out on a court,” says Carstens, “and she was at her best when I saw her a year ago at Wimbledon, “Sho is suffering from distraught nerves, French nerves at their worst, She should never go near « court at| the present time because of her poor physical condition, She disappoints the large galleries by being forced to default, It makes her look ike a quitter, which 1 don't think she ts. Sho fs too fine « tennis player to havo to be afraid of losing. “In all my years as # tennis fan t never saw # player so uncannily ac curate in hitting the lines as Suzanne Lenglen, She is « wonder at hitting a given spot on the court and on her good days she rises to the holghts, “Wimbledon, with {ts years of ten. nis tradition, Is a fitting place for the world's championship matches, There is the real tennis atmosphere Golf and Tennis, the International Sports i there and the facilities and whole setting are the best there is, "As for Kathleen McKanoe, the |young English girl whd beat our Helen Wills, I think she plays more of an American style game than any of the other leading women players in England. She is brilliant at times, | | but her steadiness is her best asset.” OLF is making rapid strides in the Far East, according to Car- stens, who has played over many of | the famous courses of Asia and has seen the natives of various countries in the Orient play. “A native Indian, a Hindoo player, won the championship of India at Calcutta while we were there last | winter,” declares Carstens, “The now champion won from a large field of star English and Scotch players. He made his last 18 in 69, which is some | Shooting for any course.” HE tennis player of the world must watch out for the advance of the French stars, says Carstens, as they play a very fine game and are rapidly improving. La Coste, Cochet and Borotra are all super-stars now and only Bill Johnson and Bill Tilden surpass them, in Carsten’s opinion. “They play a game much like Dick | Williams, very brilliant, but stead. | fer,” declares Carstens. “T have seen Williams play when no man in the world could beat him, but he is too erratle to ever be truly great. The Frenchmen have all of his brilliance, jbut are steadier, Watch out for | them.” L*! winter while on the Malay Peninsula Carstens saw the pro- fessional at one of the clubs there, a native, play a few sets of tennis, And Carstons says that for rhythm and| style very few players he has’ ever seen could aurpass him, “But he was lazy,” says Carstens, “and u vietim of the sun of the Far Bast; if he would put life into his play he might be a world's champion ome day." “Of the two Ramos, golf Is growing the more rapidly as.

FARRELL ARIS, July 19—Helen Wills and Mrs. Wightman won the Olym- | | plc women’s doubles tennis title Bat- | urday, defeating Katherine McKanoe and Miss Covell, England, 7-6, 8-6, in the finals, : The victory of the Americans was accomplished under difficulties by @ high wind which swept across the courts, hampering the play. The English team fought to the bitter end, but finally succumbed to the superior play of the Americans, es- pecially of Miss Wills, who was all over the court. Miss Wills and Mrs Wightman achieved the first of the Olympic championships to be determined. Four thousand spectators saw the match. Vincent Richards and Francis T. Hunter, U. 8. A., beat Borotra and La Coste, France, 6-2, 6-3, 0-6, 5-7, 6-3 qualifying for the finals. The match was one of the most spirited seen in the Olympics. The first set resolved itself into a duel between Miss Wills and Miss Mc- Kane. The English woman kept trying to drive at Mrs. Wightman. In the second set Mrs. Wightman drove out or into the net frequently at critical times and Miss McKane and Miss Covell led 3 to 0 and again 5 to 2. In the seventh game Helen Wills became nettled and showed a burst of speed, taking the net and smashing repeatedly at Miss McKane's feet. The world cham- pion retaliated in kind and caught the Californian flat-footed four times, The turning point came when Miss Wills went out after the critical jelghth game. The set point for the | British was reached several ties, | the game going to deuce before the American champion won the game with a sensational leaping back- hand smash past Miss McKane. The crowd, mostly French, was very partial to the British pair, and. showed its customary poor sports- manship by cheering when ,the Americans made errors or drove the ball out. At the end, however, they could not help but cheer the galant vic- tory won almost single-handed by Miss Wills. On her showing today there is little doubt but that the American girl will win the singles champion- ship. from Mlle. Vlasto on Monday.

Building for Cage Game Is Being Talked Hea talk going around town that some men prominent in University affairs are planning to build a big auditorium downtown where the University of Washington basketball team would play its homa games. It would be a good thing, because the small gymnasium on the campus isn't big enough to hold the crowds that want to see college basketball, As it is now, only a small percentaga of the students are able to see tha games, The auditorium would undoubtedly be a profitable investment as there is no big one in the city now, and it could be used for many things bee sides basketball. /U.
