These few records show how useless comparative scores may be. If
another season like 1921 strikes American tennis, the ranking
will need either clairvoyance or a padded cell.
These upsets are part of the zest of the game and it is due to
the very uncertainty of tennis that the public is daily becoming
more enthusiastic about the game. I believe next year will see
even a greater interest taken in it than was shown this.
Second in importance only to the big events themselves was the
season in junior tennis.
Little Miss Helen Wills, in her first Eastern season, won the
junior championship for girls and brought to the game one of the
most delightful personalities that has appeared in many years.
