HELEN WILLS IS READY

Former American Tennis Champ Leaves for London on Friday. By Henry L. Farrell United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 11.—Even though Mile. Suzanne Lenglen has passed out of the amteur picture, Miss Helen Wills is not going to Europe with any idea that she will have a picnic in getting back the international tennis honors that an attack of appendicitis cost her last summer. Miss Wills has picked the classic courts of Wimbledon to start her campaign and she will sail Friday for London. I “I know toqi much about the players in Europe to get any mistaken idea that the absence of Mile. Long-, len will make it easy for me,” she said today. “Mrs. Kathleen McKane Godfrey !s one of the best players in the world. Senorita De Alvarez, the Spanish star, is certain to be much better this year and Katherine Bouman, of Holland, also is a very fine player. “In the field there also will be our American stars, Mrs. Molla Mallory and Miss Elizabeth Ryan, two players who rank as high as any pair in the game. In England there is a youngster, Miss Betty Nuthall, who ought to develop into one of the greatest of players. “Os all the players, however, I think Senorita De Alvarez may be the most formidable because she is young and is just getting on a game that is almost as polished and finished as that of Mile. Lenglen. She has ideal competitive temperament and has been building up her game against the hardest kind of competition. All the American players would benefit if they had the same opportunity to watch and play against Mile. Lenglen as the European players.”

The little Italian was in wonderful form and secured a total of 1 .924- pins over the eight-game route, for an average of 240 pins a game. What makes this feat more remarkable is the fact that the eight games were rolled across sixteen alleys. The purse for this win was $3,500 and the diamond championship medal. Barney Krause of Chicago "placed” with a total of 1.798. which netted him SI,OOO. and Charlie Daw of Milwaukee captured the “show" position with 1.783 pins to drag down s7so^ It is not always the opportunity of a pin hoy to get enough practice to be good, but Thurman of the Century alleys sure did hit the pins in a practice game Monday afternoon, getting eleven in a row for a count of 309. The No. 10 pin was the one to stick on his last ball. A “big 600” for AT Striebeek or "Nan” Schott in tonight's play will put these boys up to the "300” average mark ior the season of 105 games in Capitol No. League.
