Tilden Sees Celie Aussem as Coming Champion Among Woman Tennis Players GERMAN GIRL SHY EXPERIENCE ONLY fßig Bill” Believes Trip to America Would Be Big Aid to Her Game. BY WILLIAM T. TILDEN, 2d. IT was one beautiful May after noon In 1927 when the French championships at the stade Francais, In St. Cloud, were lust beginning that I first saw Celie Aussem as a tennis player, j I had hardly heard of her at that i time. * Mile. Contostavlos was one of the ■ - great French stars of the day, whom | many hailed as a successor to the in-j comparable Lenglen. Mile. Contostavlos j •V as to play her first match of the tour- j D ament on the center court against game unknown, so I decided to watch. I wandered into the stand and idly T atched a few games, all of which were bitterly contested and most of which Mile. Contostavlos lost. Her opponent was a chubby little miss who looked nothing but a child, but she could cer tainly play tennis. Her remarkable re coveries of Mile. Contostavlos’ best ehots had the big gallery in continuous applause. No one took her really seri ously, but were cheering her brave ef fort. Name Meant Little. "Who is she?” I asked one of the Officials. "Celie Aussem, the German.” was the reply. That meant little to me beyond ' a name at that time. I had heard quite 1 a good deal about Celie Aussem —how j good she was, what a remarkable player j she would become—during my visit to Berlin earlier that same year and now recognized in the flashing little figure t on the court a shy, charming little lady j I had met. casually in Berlin. "Why. of course,” I said, stupidly, "it is Miss Aussem.” The result of that match which Miss Aussem won and went on to take her place among the great stars of the game is now tennis history. That was almost four seasons ago. and from that; period Celie has changed from a prom ising youngster to a great star. All j has not been easy for this girl. She has i had her setbacks as well as her prog ress. There have been times when she seemed to be going backward instead of forward, but behind all the superficial f variations of her game her talent glowed clearly and rose above any tem porary discouragement. Is Fond of Game. When I first saw Celie, her game was noteworthy primarily for its steadiness and her remarkable ability to cover court. It was a case of get the ball back until her opponent missed. It was not a game that showed all the necessary requirements of a great champion. She lacked attack. She lacked confidence end at times she lacked concentration. She had two great assets. She had a great love for the game that kept her always keen and willing to work to im prove and she had youth with its eager j •'exuberance and speed. On these two | assets, I was sure a great game could be built, but was at times doubtful if it i would be. The season of 1928 found a distinct ! step forward in Celie’s game. I found ; definite signs of a growing attacking power in her style. No longer did she rely on her opponents’ errors alone to give ' lier points. She hit out for her own j and often won them. True in so doing | she lost a little of her steadiness, but, at the same time she gave evidence of j becoming a really great player. Unfortunately, like so many girls who are approaching the top in tennis, Celie’s game was taken almost too seri ously by her closest friends. They were so anxious for her to win that they be- j gan to make her fear defeat. Celie be gan to grow' nervous and self-conscious • In her matches. She was so anxious to make good for her well wishers that she overtried. She grew stroke conscious and began to think more of how to play * than where to play. Due partially to this added strain and partially to an ac tual physical effect on her eyes of too great continuous concentration, she be- Tan to develop the eye strain which in he following year threatens to put an end to this charming player’s career. Eyes Cause Trouble. The season of 1929 was a disastrous one for Celie. She was so troubled by her eyes that her timing went off and her game seriously deteriorated. She met many defeats that were the direct result of her eye trouble. The terrific strain on her nervous system took its toll, and, following Wimbledon, Celie, for the second time in a year, was ordered off the courts, and none too soon, for t she was both physically and nervously In a very run-down condition. Care and her long lay-off did won ders. and a complete cure brought her back to the courts this Winter in per fect condition. Somewhere and some and in Dortmund, widely known for its famous brews, he studied the brewing processes from be ginning to end, learning, among many important facts, their secrets of mashing in the great mash tuns and analyzing the brew at every step to note accurately its development to completion. Only such study and practical knowledge can pro duce a product like Valley Forge Special of TODAY —unusual quality, wonderful flaiwrs, fine character . « and the pleasant lingering taste.

Phone Lincoln 5410 SPORTS. how during this enforced lay-off Celie found poise and confidence in herself. The old fear of defeat was gone. She came back to tennis with new eager ness and new r determination. Celie came to the Riviera in January jto begin serious preparation for the coming season. Her first few weeks, j naturally, found her far from her best and she met defeat at the hands of I Miss Ryan and Mrs. Owen, but, unlike ! her previous seasons, these defeats did not affect her confidence. She accepted them sportingly, as always, but instead of worrying over them put them aside from her thoughts and kept her mind fixed on the coming events. Her game was steadily improving and she was gaining in physical stimina w'ith each week. Defeats Star Players. Then came the two big weeks of the Riviera season, the tournaments at Monte Carlo and Menton in February. Mast of the great European stars, in cluding Miss Rvan, Mme. Simone Mathieu, the French champion; Bar j oness von Resnicek, the German title i holder; Mrs. Owen. Miss Ridley and | manv others of note, played in one or | both of these events. Calmly, brilliantly and decisively Celie Aussem won both tournaments, beating Mme. Mathieu i straight sets in both finals, a note worthy achievement for any girl. She ! followed this bv a brilliant tournament at the Cannes Club, where she beat Baroness von Resnicek, 6 —3, 6 —2, and Mrs. Owen, who had previously beaten Miss Ryan, in the final round by the overwhelming score of 6 — o. 6 — o. Celie had come into her own and to day must be recognized as ®ne of the great plavers of the world. Throughout the Riviera season I had the pleasure of playing mixed doubles with Celie and thus was given a won derful chance to study her game and her temperament. Hers is a great game. There is no weakness in her stroke equipment. Her service is a fast and reliable slice. Her ground strokes are fast flat drives of fine accuracy and depth. She can volley and smash with severity and reliability. She uses a j chop stroke and drop shot with good I judgment. She has retained all her j old speed of foot in court covering. Yet it is not in her game that Celie has made her greatest improvement. It iis in her match temperament. She ‘ used to be "stroke conscious,” thinking iof how she hit the ball rather than ; where she hit and what effect it W’ould have on her opponent. This year she has become "match conscious.” She now’ plays her matches with an eye to the effect of her game on her opponent. She is always alive to the situation as shown by the score. She is no longer Just a splendid stroke maker. She is now a conscious thinking tennis player of craft and cleverness. It is this change that has carried Celie into the front rank. She has gained the confidence in her own ability and judgment without w’hich no player can scale the championship heights. If she does not allow the best intended advice in the w'orld from all her many friends to lead her back into the error of fearing defeat, she will go on along the path of success which today she is modesty and magnificent game would won her instant recognition and make her a popular idol. Germany could send no greater envoy of good will and friendship to the United States than her charming champion, Celie Aussem. (Copyright, 1930. by North American News paper Alliance.) YOUNG RACKETERS HOPE TO RENEW TOURNEY PLAY Players in the District boys and I juniors’ tennis tournament were hope ! ful of resuming competition today on the Rock Creek courts, rain having held up the matches for two days.

JUNE 11. 193a ■ Lewis Gets Golf Ace , hut, Sad To Say, He Was Playing Alone BY W. R. McCALLUM. OF all the hard luck incidents that can and have happened on the golf courses about the golf-ridden Capital City, we I believe that which has just occurred to ; Reeve Lewis, jr„ of the Chevy Chase Club takes the palm. Lewis made a hole in 1 yesterday on the fourth hole at the Chevy Chase Club, a hard enough hole to make in three strokes. The bad part of the af fair is that the youngster, whose father used to be one of the leading golfers of Chevy Chase, and who comes by his accuracy from the tee naturally be cause his daddy was so straight, was playing alone, and only his caddy saw the ball soar high in the air from the tee, take a long hop on the putting gree and disappear in the hole, j It might be compared to Doc Cook at the North Pole without a gumdrop, or Sharkey in the ring w’ithout a punch, or George Voigt playing a round of golf without a putter. And think of the razor blades, bottles of ginger ale, golf balls, pipes and the numerous other articles which young Lewis will not get because he went out without a partner. He was due to play yesterday after noon in the qualifying round of the Co lumbia tourney and thought he would play a few practice holes at Chevy Chase first. Along came the fourth hole and the holed shot from the tee, and now Lewis wonders if his hole in one really is an ace. or just something that hap pened and cannot be verified, except by the testimony of a caddie. Bob Barnett, the fine-playing Chevy Chase professional, bagged a real birdie on the eighteenth at his home course j the other day in a game with Gene Larkin, his assistant. “Bob hit a screamer from the eighteenth tee,” j Gene said. "We watched the ball soar toward a bird that came acrass from the thirteenth fairway, and we saw the ball hit that bird squarely. Bob walked up the fairway, remarking that it would be his luck to have hit a robin. You know Bob is a tender-hearted fellow, and when he came up to the bird it was a robin, sure enough. "The bird had been struck squarely by the ball and almost cut in half. Tender-hearted Bob picked up the dead bird tenderly, and with loving care smoothed its feathers and took it over into the rough, when he laid it down gently. Then he went to play his sec ond shot and almost missed it com pletely.” Yandes Wheeler of Chevy Chase to day knows the thrill of making an eagle I on a hard par-4 hole. Wheeler knocked j out a lengthy tee shot on the third hole at Chevy Chase, and hit his iron second so well that the ball went in the hole for an eagle 2. This is the first re corded time that the present third hole has been made in tw'o shots. Arthur Urban, who used to be one of Washington’s foremost bowlers, and to- ; day is ranked as one of the leading pin- j spillers in the National Capital, will not j forget the qualifying round in the Co- ; lumbia tourney for a long time. Neither ! will Clyde B. Asher, vice president of the Columbia Country Club, nor will' Three Neiv Yankee Cup Yachts To Race for First Time Today NEW YORK. June 11.—Three yachts built for defense of the America's Cup are to meet in competition today for the first time. Enterprise, Weetamoe and Whirlwind, the boats owned by New York syndicates, will race in the special contest arranged for them by the New York Yacht Club, and against them to measure their speed, will be Resolute and Vanitie, the veterans. Only Yankee, the Boston craft, will be missing of the new ones. With Whirlwind and Enterprise competing the extremes in the new cup boat construction will appear. Whirlwind is the largest and has the smallest sail spread. Enterprise is the smallest and has the greatest amount of canvas. Amateur crews will do the sailing of the yachts and professionals will handle the canvas and stays. Each will have a professional master on board, but he will direct the paid hands only. This arrangement will be carried out in all the races during the Summer and on the defender that i is chosen to meet Sir Thomas Lipton’s Shamrock V in September.

Roger Peacock, the junior champion of Washington, who halls from Indian Spring. Urban used to be known as a great bowler. In late years he has almost j abandoned the alley sport for golf and. although he has been playing only three years, with the natural aptitude some men have for handling a ball in any sport, he has improved about 50 per cent faster than the average mortal. The other dav he shot a 31 on course A at Rock Creek Park to beat A1 Price, the Rock Creek pro. and yesterday he went out to Columbia and shot a fine 77, many strokes better than golfers who have played five times as long. And at that Urban wasted several shots on the last few holes. Asher w’ill long remember the Co lumbia qualifying round because of the remarkable last nine holes lie played to score a 32 and go into second place in the first day of play, only one shot behind the splendid 71 registered by | Peacock. Asher, who is Fred McLeod's star pupil and a student of the game if ever there w’as one, got real "hot” com ing home, after an indifferent 40 for the first nine and picking up three birdies en route, shot the last nine holes in 32 to tie the amateur record for that distance. Some years back Leo Diegel shot the last nine in 29 strokes to w’in a hatful of money from Guy Standifer, and three ] or four years ago W. Carlton Evans | went wild witli his putter over that last i nine to score a 32. but Asher’s score j will stand as the finest piece of golf j that has been uncorked over that nine j in the rigorous test of medal plav. And ! particularly because he had taken 40 1 over the first nine, three putting the ! first green for a 6 and missing a short | one on the fourth. Roger Peacock’s score was one of the finest bits of golf that has been un corked about Washington in a long I time. The youngster played flawless I golf on the first nine, with the excep tion of the sixth hole, where he took j | 5, compensating w’ith a birdie 2 on the j j eighth. Coming home he took 6 on the I par 5 twelfth, but scored a birdie 3 on the seventeenth to make up for this mistake. Fourteen scores of 79 and better were turned in yesterday, and it seems, con sidering the class of the field which was listed to start today, that Colum bia’s experience of last year is to be duplicated. It will be remembered that scores of 77 played off for places in the first flight last year and that 85 was the last qualifying score in the last flight. Eight men turned in scores of 77 or better yesterday, and it is quite possible that the 77s will not be in j when night falls today. The probable winner of the women’s District golf championship for 1930 was likely to be decided today at the Wash ington Golf and Country Club in the meeting of Mrs. Dorothy White Nicol son. the defending title holder, and Mrs. J. Marvin Haynes, runner-up for the championship last year. Mrs. Nicolson ! and Mrs. Haynes are generally regarded | as two of the three strongest golfers I about the Capital, and they were drawn j together in the second round of the ; title chase today. Both won their first ] round matches handily yesterday . I Two extra-hole matches featured the first round yesterday, Mrs. Y. E. Booker of Washington eliminating Mrs. Alma von Steinner of Beaver Dam on the first extra hole, with a par 4 to Mrs. von Steinner’s 5. and Mrs. Betty P. Meck ley of Beaver Dam scoring a 4 on the first extra hole to win from Mrs. G. M. Bruns, unattached golfer. The semi final round w’ill be played tomorrow, with the final round carded for Friday.
