Helen WillslBig Surprise
of Past Years-
"Uneasy." wrote a famed Eng-
lish bard one night with the copy
desk doubtless yelling for copy 'lics
the head that wears a crown}
Shakespeare lived some time ago.
Brought up to date. his statement
amounts to about this: "It's tough at
to be a champ than not."
The fair your 1928 is at an end.
Herc are the kings and queens of
spondom. Some of their crowns arc
falny secure. others less so. But
none of them will know two peace:
19“ is ‘ me in on the shoulders of
n. rushing. ighting mob of aspirants
to fame and fortune in sports. What
crowns will topple? What new
champions will don the purple?
What names will pass into limbo?
The new year is here all too quickly.
The old has still two more days to
run. Gentlemen! A toast! "The
Champions of 1028!" ‘
Only one mt.
Practically all of 1938's~ cham-
pions have been inkthe news fouome
time. No unknown has rushed for-
ward out ofrobscurity and seized
himself or herself a crown. {there
has been only one serious upset. gee
time when the dope went. ms.
And that was at Forest Hills when
Helen Wills wrested the Women's
National Tennis Championship from
Molla‘BJurstcd nation. The wise
ones knew it would happen some
day. but it wasn't expected Just yet.
The crowning of Edith Cummings
as the Women's National Golf cham-
pion at the Westeiisstcr-Biltmors
Club came as something of a. sur-
prise. The dopestera had it all fig-
ured out that Alice Stirling and
Glenna Collett would fight it out In
the finals. But Miss Cummings
wasn't s. very dark 'horse. Sister of
Dexter Cummings of Yale. she was
sure to break into the golfing elite
'some time. She picked 1928 to do
it. ,
