Mrs, Dorothy Round Little says Suzanne Le lien. Helen Wills Moody and e Marble rank in that order us the first three women player; of all time.

Mrs. Little, herself a two-time Wimbledon Champion, is visiting Montreal today. She has complet- ed a professional tour throughout the United States which netted more than 810.000 for the British Ambuiance Fund.

Her seieciicn is purely s. personal one, Mrs. Idttle said, adding:-

"Alioe Marble has gained a dis.- tinct margln over her present rivals because she takes the bail earlier and is forever advancing to the fore court where she takes full ad- géiktage of her splendid net at-

“Helerfs drive; were so deep and paceful I don't think Alice could have got to the net and if she did. I think Helen would have passed . he'l- quite easily.

At least. one feels confident of Winnie: a few games mm Alice. but when Helen was at her best it_ was; a struggle to prevent n mm- Diete rout. For years, she never even came close to losing a match."

War Caused Big Decline - In Attendance

By Judson Bailey Associated Press Sports Writer

NEW YORK, Dec. 23 —(A.P)—0f the widespread effects war has pro- duced on sports in the United States, the decline in attendance was the most obvious. a poll of the country's writers by the Associated Press showed today.

Almost eve one of the 00 scribes who cast bu. lots mentioned the blow to attendance as one of the major imprints the year of war has left on competitive athletics—- but the experts were at odds on how to interpret this fact.

In general they agreed that it was not a lack of interest in sports which has reduced the size of crowds for most events and forced the abandonment of some. Rather ‘t was the difficulty of travel and the enrollment of a great mlttitude of custom ipatrons in the armed services an in vital war work.

Some writers sensed that war had laced sports in a new per- spect vs whens victory or defeat in games was no longer of paramount Importance. ‘IT-fey po'nted to er- ratlc performances and unexpected results of individuals and teams throughout the wear. Another ex- planation for these numero up- sets was the entry of many a letes
