OFFICIAL ACTION.

Berlin, Yesterday. The famous runner, Peltzer, has been suspended from participating in athletic events until he satisfac torily explains his non-appearance at the Franco-German athletic con- test at Berlin on Sunday list.

TWO OF OUR BEST GIRL PLAYERS.

-

[By F. Gordon Lowe.]

Of all our young girl players' Miss Eileen Bennett and Misa Betty Nuthall-stand out as the most famous and the most promising. This season the former, who beat Miss Nuthall in a terrific match at Cannes early in the spring, has the better record, whereas last year Betty was distinctly in front.

Perhaps the relative form of this attractive couple in 1928 is as it should be. Miss Bennett, athough her strokes took longer to develop, has the more classical style of the two, while Betty still possesses the better temperament for a great occasion.

The match-winning ability the former however, is improving rapidly, as her recent record in matches along the Riviera · const ́ clearly showed, Previously Miss Bennett had a tendency, and it is

still apparent in a lesser degree, to sacrifice winning leads. This háp- pened in her match against Miss Helen Wills Jast year at Wimbledon, and in a more marked degree against Miss Joan Fry the year be fore on the centre court,

Her game for the time being has been dislocated, and she has consequently failed to do her- self justice in all her matches.

Betty, however, has her whole tennis future before her, as she is only just 17. She had the great advantage starting to play at the early age of eight, and she owes a greate deal to her father, who coach- ed her all through the preliminary

stages.

"

The only pity, in my opinion, is that she was not taught an over- head service from the start.

Betty won the Junior Champlon- ship of Great Britain in 1924, 1925 and 1926, and probably could have have won it again last year from Misa Mackintosh if she had entered.

The Bounding Basque in Action.

Here is the reason why tennis fans all over the world refer to Jean Boretra an "the bounding Basque." The French ace is pletured during his singles play at Wimbledon.

Together this Anglo-French pair captured the American "mixed" championship at Forest Hills, New York, last autumn, but they scored their greatest triumph only the other day in Paris over Miss Helen Wills and Frank Hunter.

Thus, Wimbledon alone remains to be conquered; they will have their chance this year!

The driving and technique of Miss Nuthall, fine as they are, could never equal those of the famous Suzanne, although the English girl hits the ball on the forehand and backhand, with great force.
