Haynes, the raoe driver and assistant salea manager of the Dragon Automobile company?-haa come forward In defenae of women drivers aa a class. Recently an English journal declared that women lack nerve and Intimated that they were failures as drivers of automobiles. Mr. Haynes says this Is not so and Instances the work of Mrs. Cuneo In the last Olidden tour. After paying a glowing tribute to this lady, Mr. Haynes continues: "I have observed that women who learn to drive cars ar as a rule ex ceptionally capable after -they' have mastered the mechanical details of the work. It Is true that they are not as daring as men in all emergencies. But this, to my mind, ta rather a recom mendation than a drawback. Most men take too many chances with cars. The desire to perpetrate the unusual seems to overcome them. Judarment mav ha good with them 999 tlmea. but the I thousandth chance Is apt to bs their downfall.

He puts the limit of sting and twist and speed Into the ball and reminds one of the terrlfio pace of D.,ght Davla the aonor or tne uayis cup. BeaJs Wright. 'Who lost In straight sets to Brookes in the Davis cup matches, had had years of experience with the "railroad" service and, student that he Is of the game, should be ac quainted with every phase of Its use. Yet he waa absolutely at a loss to handle the service of the hard-hitting Australian. His straight set defeat may truly be ascribed to the many aces which Brookes gained on bis service. TJie same may also be said, though in a lesser decree, of Brookes' defeat of Behr In the same matchea Brookes Hot All-Kound Was. Brookes -Is not an all-round tftaver. There are many departments of the game In which he Is lamentably weak. For Instance, he finds It utterly Im possibly to kill a ball overhead unless he Is hugging the net. He cannot lob with any degree of accuracy. As a matter of fact he Is not to be compared with our own Beala Wright In all-round development of the game. But there Is no man 'living that can make mora, aces out of his service and at volley ing at the net he is a star of the first magnitude. He is as quick as "greased lightning" and his power of intuition and anticipation are marvelous. He not only gets a terrlfio drive back, but he Kins it at tne same time. Wilding also uses the -American rail road ' service, but It Is not deadly in any sense of the word. At rare inter vals he varies it with a reverse twist. He Is terribly weak on his backhand shots and shares with Brookes the weakness of his overhead game. It was Dy playing to this obvious weak ness that Wright and Behr won the doubles match from them In the Davis cup contest arter a five-set struggle. Wilding Is also weak at the net and his one good stroke Is his forehand drive. How he ever beat a finished player like Heals Wright, as he did In their English championship match, is hard to understand. He never would have won from Karl Behr If the latter had kept his nerve and had been able to rinisn in any kind or shape. Australians Weak la Double. Aa a double -"Team the Australians have a tendency to fall off toward the end or a.matcn. Despite the fact that they won the English championship at doubles, the English pair, Oore and Bar rett, have beaten them twice and the American pair, Wright and Behr, beat them In the Davis cup match.
