HELEN WILLS IS INDIGNANT.
Legacy Left for Champion.
BOBBY JONES.
Helen Wills, the lawa, tennis champion, has been very indignant naturally at the reflection east, upon her amateur status because she .accepted a legacy of £4,000.
Mr. Bobby Jones, the American golfer says that Helen Wills should most certainly accept the money.
"Why shouldn't she?" said Bobby. "I wish someone would leave me the same amount. You would soon see how quickly I would take it."
Jones said his own refusal of a $10,000 house offered to him by his friends in Atlanta a few years ago was "different."
"I think," he concluded, "it is ab- solutely asinine for anyone even to question Helen's procedure in this Instance. An heir has all the right

Some surprise has been caused by the action of Leslic Ames, the Kent wicket-keeper, in declining the in- vitation to go with the M.C.C. team to South Africa for the Test tour this coming winter.
The reason is that Amies has been playing cricket continuously for five Seasons-1928 in England, 1928-29

The Cause of Slicing.
He was as much a puncher as the professional was a swinger.
His reach was short where the professional's was long. He could not get his hands high, nor bring the club-head through successful- ly if he put them too far back.

The Kent county authorities fear that if Ames now goes to South Africa he may lose his form.
Consequently Ames will stay in England, and very probably will play soccer for Clapton Orient, for whom, as a clever wing forward, he played until the last Australian tour Intervened. He is now 24.
