The type of spectator who tends now- adays to introduce hooliganiam and a bitter partisan spirit on the Soccer field is doing very great injury to what ought to be a clean and decent game, which, quite sufficiently strenuous, is not merely a hand-to-hand struggle in the mud.

PERRY ALSO ADVANCES IN FRENCH CHAMPIONSHIP
Fr. Aussem Collapses Against Miss Betty Nuthall
Auteuil, June 3. SENSATIONS ARE CROWDING one upon the other in the French National Tennis Championships at Autouil. Rene Lacoste's "come-back" which he staged against Sydney Wood, the youthful American, was quickly nipped in the bud to-day, when H. G. N. Lec, one of Britain's leading players, who somehow, has never been able to quite "get there," dramatically defeated the Frenchman in the fourth round by three
sets to one.
F. J. Perry, the chief English "hope", advanced to the fifth round over the resourceful Matejka, but G. P. Hughes could not prevent Henri Cochet from taking revenge for his Wimbledon defeat of last year, though the Englishman took him to 39 games.
Miss Betty Nuthall was decidedly unlucky against Fraulein Cecily, Ausser, the leading German girl, the latter collapsing at the conclusion nt one-all. Miss Aussem'a recent of the second set with the scores illness left her exhausted after two strenuous sets running into 82 games, and the match was postponed.
Mrs. Helen Wills-Moudly entered the semi-final at the expense of Fraulein Krahwinkel, Germany's No. 2 lady player, winnlag in straight sets. M. Mathieu gained a splendid success over Miss Helen Jacobs.
