Tennis is again in full swing. How is your game-Are you at the top of your form, or do you find you tire easily, become exhausted after a act or two? If the latter is the case, and providing your heart and lunga are sound, there is but one explanation; and that is impoverish- ment of the blood.
So
It la from the blood that all the organs and tissues of the body derive to perform their nourishment, duties properly they must be sup- plied with good, rich, red blood. If the blood is thin, weak and depleted will not be long before aliments due to this condition assail you, for example digestive troubles, nervous- new, insomnio, back pains, neuralgia, rheumatism, loss of energy, depres- son, lo mention but a few. To creato fresh supplies of rich, red blood, and so lo build up health and strength, there is no quicker or more effective way than by taking a course of Dr Williams' Pink Pills. The prescrip tion of an eminent physician an M.D. Un Edinburgh University, Scotland, these pills were especially designed for the building up of the blood, and the many thousands of enaemic sullerers who have thereby regained health and strength afford ample proof of the reliability of this remedy.
Equally good for men, women and growing buys and girls, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have stood pre-eminent as blood builder and blood purifier for the past fifty years, Try them you yourself, they will surely da Hood. Obtainable from chemists everywhere,

BOBBIE HEINE RETURNS
S. A. Champion For Noxt Wimbledon
(By Geoffrey Simpson) Although many rackets will be restrung before the next Wim- bledon is due, it is interesting to observe that South Africa has already docided to send us that much-discussed young woman, Mrs. Bobbio Heine Miller.
women's
This means that the singles champlonship will be the most colourful since Suzanne Leng- len wore her large hair bandeau on the centre court.
Mrs. Heine Miller has colour and 50 has Helen Wills-and both will be there. Helen Wills Moody has been occupied lately with the re- her moval of the second half of name, and at Wimbledon she will be plan telen Wilis.
Mrs. Miller, who used to be plain Bobble Heine, and who played at Wimbledon some years ago, will head South Africa's weinen's teum, which, incidentally, will cancel out the men's team. Dissatisfied with their Davis Cup failures, the South Afrleon_L.T.A." are keeping their me home and sending their best women instead.
BIG REPUTATION
Mrs. Miller is an unusual figure in leonis. She lives on a lonely farm
with her husband, and the only ten- is practice she gets is by acting as honorary conch to some convent girls.
Yet she has a reputation of being able to bent any woman ur man player in South Afrien. Once yearly she leaves the farm and wipes the opposition off the court, to retain her native championship.
►
Touring players-and these include Peggy Scriven, Freda James, Mury Heeley, Mrs. Whittingstall, and Betty Nuthall get beaten by her, which lielps to build up the nollon that Mrs. Miller is about the best women tennis player is the gume.
It is said that for years her game has had everything except the oppor- tunity, and now she is to get it. We shall await her visit with interest. but I am told that we shall not recognise in her the buxom young
Wimbledon girl we saw at years ago. She has changed a good deal, being stiramer and prettier.

The Thracian team was handi capped by being dressed in faney outfits Prominent in the forward line were the four Marx brothers, The game ended in a three goal draw, the Thracian goals being scored by three of the Marx brothers: the remaining brother, deciding to open on account of his own, prompt- ly turned around and scored for the Dainty!
At the conclusion prizes were dis- tributed by Lieut. North of H.MS. Dainty, the prizes being "mysteries”. As the game had ended in a draw.
