At the U.S.A. Women's Championships held in a 25 yards bath at Chicago, she won the 100 yds. free-style in 63 sec, the 300 yds. medley in 4 min. 9 6-10 sec. (breaking her own world's re- cord), the 100 yds. breast-stroke in 1 min. 20′ 6-10 | sec, and finished third in the 220 yds. free-style to Leonore Kight, who won in 2 min. 35 5-10 sec. Later, Miss Kight took the 500 yds. în 6 min. 21 9-10 sec. Under a new rule, competitors are restricted to four events so Miss Rawls decided not-to defend her springboard diving title.

(By F. J. PERRY)
London, May 11.
OLD friends of mine and of yours are here
again. Three summers running you have seen four friendly Australian invaders - Jack Crawford, Vivian McGrath, Adrian Quist and Don Turnbull; to me the season now begun will be the fifth consecutive one in their company, for I have been lucky enough to sandwich in two tours in their land.
It is less than three months since we said good-bye to each other in Melbourne. I am get- ting to know them rather well on and off the court.
I mentioned them briefly in a previous article. As they and the Americans are likely to be our most dangerous opponents at Wimbledon and in the Davis Cup contest they demand fuller refer-
ence
We are festive in England now over the Jubilee; so were they, when the English team were in Melbourne. over the Centenary of the State of Victoria. They and we have passed from one atmos- phere of rejoicing to another
