...purpose of the League of Nations is to promote peace. This institution as it now exists is dominated by the Latin countries, especially France and Italy.

Thus it came about that in the finals the brown Mrs. Mallory found herself once more opposing that poker-faced, Nordic flibbertigibbet who defeated her last year for the National title (TIME, Aug. 25)-Miss Helen Wills. She lost the first three games, all of which went to deuce, then won six in a row. Miss Wills pounded hard to the baseline, took the next two sets...
