Helen Wills, to describe whose game sporting writers resort to increasing jumbles of superlatives, was worthy of their praise and easily defeated Joan Fry and Mrs. Kathleen McKane Godfree.

The child is clapped into a dungeon, made to watch his erratically lovely mother undergo tortures, urged like Joan of Arc to confess sins of whose existence he is unaware.
