TENNIS
(Australian A N.Z. Cable Association.) LONDON, June 26. Betty Netball's brilliant entrance with the final eight was gained at the expense of a more experienced yet less resourceful pi’ayer. Tbe fact is Mrs Hill bad to play tbe game Betty decreed. No girl in her teens ever showed Wimhledon grounds such vicious, skimming drives from side to side, -..rs Hill followed them till she was so widely out' of position that she was powerless to approach the cunning half court dropsliot, or flashing shot down the sideline. Tt remains to bo seen band topspin service, which really is whether stronger rivals next week will permit Betty to call the tune, and whether they won’t set it off her underliarder than it looks. Betty was today chosen for the British team against American women.
