Without doubt tn an- other year sho will eclipse the great French champion, Mile. Lenglen, as she will surely eclipse Mrs. Mallory ‘and other American racquet experts. Last year, when Miss Wills was fifteen and was playing at home as a member of the Girls’ Tennis Club of Berkeley, Cal., she won the girls’ national tennis championship. She beat Miss Virginia Carpenter of Phila- delphia in straight sets, 6—3, 6—3. MISS WILLS MASTERS EVERY STROKE. This year, on her second trip East, she was runner-up to Mrs. Mallory in the national championships, When she travels she is always chaperoned by her mother. Helen is a big girl for her age, big Umbed and powerful. She has a wrist that a man could be proud of. Yet she is only sixteen; and looks and dresses the part of a sixteen-year- old school girl, She wears a middy blouse, short skirt, white stockings, black shoes and a large white eye- shade that she designed and made her- self and which she looks upon with the pride of an inventor, Miss Wills’s technique is superior to that of any other girl or woman player. She is mastering every stroke. Her work is nearly faultless in her baseline game, net and overhead, as well as in ground strokes. Her tech- nique is superior to that of Mrs. Mal- lory, who has mastered only a strong baseline game. She should win from Mrs. Mallory when they meet aguin, ‘as she has all the shots. There is only one other player like her and that {s Miss Mary K. Brown of California, who taught her the game. MISS COLLETT A LONG DRIVER. Another remarkable girl athlete is Miss Glenna Collett, the national woman golf champion. Miss Collett was born in Providence, R. I. She is now nineteen. Her parents were both athletic and they encouraged Glenna's t interest in sport. When she was a small girl she played a great deal of tennis but as she grew taller she turned to golf Her first tournament was at Apa- wamis in ‘19. A curious thing about this is that two other famous new champions also played their first tournament in that well-known New York Stato course, Jess Sweetser, the national amateur champion, and Gene Sarazen, the national open champion. Miss Collett is tive feet eight inches tall, well built and powerful. She is the longest wowan driver in the United States and, for that matter, im the world. She drives a longer ball than Miss Cecil Leitch of England, who has 1 ved much fame with her golf wallop. Last year Miss Leitch was at Holly- wood, N. J., and Miss Collett out- drove her all through the Women’s National championship tou That she plays a corking ¢ be seen from the fact that she won the medal score again this year, when she also won the char beating Mrs. Cavin in the final r Shooting from the men's scores average from 78 to courses.

S. és tants ee Performers Greatest Feature of Victories on Land and Water the Last Year—Names of Our By Robert Edgren. HIS strongest indication that America will be supreme in sport in the my tutere is the extreme youth of some of our greatest champions. This ts especially trye of the girls who have been astonishing the world of amateur sport in the past year or two. ladies of fourteen, fifteen and sixteen have outclassed any feats of older and Some of the performances of young Wills, the sixteen-year-old California girl who has been upsetting the women’s tennis firmament by suddenly pop- ping out as the brightest star in all Its galaxy. Miss Wills 1s picked by all the ex-@—————____ Wainwright, and her performances were up to the standards established by the men in similar competitions. At home she won the Middle Atlantia and Metropolitan Championships in diving and many championships in swimming. Her swimming records at the age of thirteen were astonish- ing, and she {s one of the best girl swimmers in the country to-day. Another great swimmer is Miss Sybil Bauer of the Illinois A. C., who has made scores of records, and lately has been busy beating the world’s hest made by men swimmers, She is the only woman athlete who has suc- ceeded in doing this. On a recent trip to Bermuda Mins Bauer performed one of the greatest feats ever recorded !n amateur sports. She broke her own world’s record for women in the 440-yard backstroke race by the great margin of 134-5 seconds, covering the distance in the remarkable time of 6.24 4-5. This wlso broke the world's record held by Harold Kruger of Honolulu, long a famous swimmer and breaker cf world's records, by a margin of 31-5 seconds, The extraordinary speed made by Miss Bauer swimming on her hack, and without the advantage of a plug- ing start, can be seen from the fact that the fastest quarter ever covered by Miss Ethelda Bliebtrey, Olympic champion, free style, was only four seconds faster. Last July Miss Bauer won several National championships at Manhat- tan and Brighton Beach and broke seven world’s records at different dis- tances, swimming in her favorite style, HOW A PUPPY INSPIRED MISS WAINWRIGHT. Helen Wainwright, fifteen-year-old swimming marvel and winner in the Olympic games, comes from Corone, N. Y. She has won fifteen champ!on- ays she learned to swim when she was almost a baby. She saw a puppy dog thrown into the water. It swam out Miss Helen thought she ought to be able to do as well, and began ex- perimenting. Result, in a few years she began breaking world’s records. When she was only thirtcen she swam a hundred yards in one minute 14 seconds. But that was nothing. One day when Helen was sixteen she broke the women’s records for one mile, the half mile, 1,000 yards, 1,320 yards and 1,500 yards, incidentally defeating Miss Hilda James of Eng- land, another young girl of only sev- enteen. One of the greatest girl swimmers In the world ts Gertrude Ederle, now seventeen years old, who started pad- dling around when she was only nine. Miss Ederle never trains, She just swims when she feels like going swimming. She eats whatever she wants, But she holds a lot of cork- ing records. Her mark for 300 yards, 3.58 2-5, cut 10 and 1-5 seconds un- der the old mark. She swam 400 yards in 5 minutes 5 seconds, where the old records was 6. ‘Bo Her 400-metre rec onds below the old mark; her quar- ter-mile in 3-5 cut 21 seconds off the best previols performance for er sex at 500 yards Miss Ederle smashed the former record, finishing 5 seconds, girl athletes in many other b s of sport, playing bas ketball, running, jumping and throwing weights in fleld days, k and fleld sports tine into dancing and the ice cream and chocolate drop business svems to be in for an awful drop. re et (Copyright, 1922, by Robert Edgren.) “a _ MYRICK PAYS TRIBUTE TO PAUL B.
