As 1931 sinks towards the limbo of other back num- 4 bers in the calendar, it is interesting to review how | ! it figures in the history of sports and what cham- ( pions it brought forth to add to the list of former years. On the tennis courts, H*»len Wills Moody, ' who allowed her title to go undefended in 1930, 1 came back in ’3l and regained her crown in a blaze of glory. The real tennis c,**nsation of the year, 1 however, was 19-year-old Ellsworth Vines, of Pasa- 1 dena. Cal., who battered his way through a phalanx of veterans to win the men’s title.

Women’s National Championship was captured by f 20-year-old Helen Hicks, and Francis Ouimet, battlescarred veteran, made a glorious comeback to recapture the men’s national amateur title that he first won back in 1914. In the water, Clarence Crabbe, of the Los Angeles Athletic Club, took the National Swim Championship, smashing the half-mile freestyle mark with a record of 10 minutes and 20.4 seconds. The Queen Mermaid for 1931 is Helene Madison, of the Washington A. C. of Seattle, who -nakes a hobby of setting new marks. Frank Wykoff, I
