Touring pinyers--and these include Peggy Scriven, Freda Jumes, Mary Heeley, Mra. Whillingstall, and Belly Nuthall-all get beaten by her, which helps to build up the notion that Mr. Miller is about the best wornan tennis player in the game.

It is said that for years her game has had everything except the opper- tunity, and now the is to get it.
