MRS. WILLS MOODY ON
HER RIVAL.
Fraulein Aussem Very
Dependable.
"
To the "jubilee" volume, recently issued by the United States Lawn Association, American Tennis champions of the past and present contribute many interesting impres sions. Here is what Mr. Moody writes of Frl. Cilly Aussen, her championship successor at Wimble- don:
"Pretty, sturdy, with a good brain behind her thoughtful brown eyes, gracefully and quietly little Cilly hus played through many tourna ments, always on time for matches, always considerate of her opponent. It may even be that she did not at- tract as much attention as some of her rivals with more spectacular games, which were, in final analysis, less dependable."
R. N. Williams, a former doubles champion at Wimbledon be, and C. S. Garland defeated Tilden and Johnston on the centre court in 1920-tells a piquant story in the same volume of a super-zealous um- pire. In order to make sure that there were no irregularities in a certain match the official walked up to every linesman, giving him Anai: Instructions, and ending with the inqairy, "Have you a bet on this match."
Finally he came to Bob Wrenn, a former champion. Wrenn listened
for any amount you want."

Whitham's Touch Kicking. Whitham, at full back for the End Club, relieved his line time again with touch kicks, but he did not open up the game by coming up into the three-quarter line when the occasion allowed. Easterbrook was a trifle slow as his opposite number, though he effected one or two good clearances under pressure.
