Writer Richards

Vincent Richards, national indoor tennis champion, is one of the few athletes who " writes his own stuff"; for newspapers--i. e., does not sign articles written by someone else. Richards, in The Philadelphia North American: " Molla [Mallory] has been fighting against Old Father Time for quite some years. The climax came when she suffered that crushing defeat at the hands of little Helen Wills. . . . Her recent defeat by Miss Eleanor Goss seems to confirm this belief. . . .

" Johnston's collapse started when he was defeated by James O. Anderson son in that history-making five-set struggle during the Davis Cup matches. The diminutive Californian pays the penalty of too much competitive tennis. . .. This year he came on much earlier than usual to participate in the so-called world championship at Wimbledom. . . .

" In diminutive Helen Wills America has a real tennis ace. It is only a matter of time when this famous California miss journeys over to the Old World and takes the French champion, Mile. Lenglen, into camp. 'Little Poker Face' (as she is called by many writers) should reign supreme for many years."
