Kyan beat her younger oung rival rhal a year ago however and Miss Wills still came on to win Taking nothing from Miss Ryans Ryan's fine tine play her tennis skill and ond her exceptional courage the belief still exists that Miss Mica Wills Wills long long vacation vO-cation left loft her a little short and that she will be another competitor with her cro crown n at stake and tho the big chance

national championship Not ot even Jones and Hagen hove have had finer records through a II long siege ot of tournament play But Dut he ho never has quite hit top form torm on the big day dav when the theU theU theU U S open or the British open was Wa the main prize Last Loat summer Mac Smith play play- played played ed something like eighteen el tour tour- tournament tournament tournament rounds at an average ot of 70 strokes This Included two lOs over the famous Lido links from the back tees He led lagen Hogen twice by crushing margins Only recently he lie ha has broken records to beat great

training through most of at atthe the distance has been one ot of o the adjuncts of ot the jazz age Few rew have ever outfought Greb and fewer feer still have out jazzed him Yet at the end of ot fourteen years e U he ha Is back again aroln taking another shot at the middleweight title against the man who took It away some months ago Greb l Is the strangest of ot all the pugilistic products At times when he had done little training and ond was supposed to be In poor shape he whizzed through f teen fit if teen rounds where the fo fastest test Were were the last three He Ho has been the marvel of ot his time Lime In this respect and It Is 18 no certainty that the Tiger will take him over this week On all cli the tho main points Flowers should bo be an easy winner consid consid- considering considering ering Grebs Greb's career and his length of service But he ha Is unusual enough to come back There Thero has haa been no one quite like him and there Is II no one who can
