Helen Wills' appearance on the Monte Carlo tennis courts today were remarkable for the record crowd she drew rather than for the bril liance of her play. Although she won two matches, one in the sin gles on the Monte Carlo tourna ment, in straight love sets, she failed to show the spirit and dash which characterized her playing In the Beaulieu tournament which ended yesterday. j j She advanced to the third round in the singles by defeating Mrs. Marriott of England,. 6-0, 6-0, while In the doubles play for the Beaumont cup, she and her part ner, Mrs. C. F. Aschlimann, for merly Leslie Bancroft of Boston, were hard pressed to take two jof three sets. With Mrs. Aschlimann in poor form the American team encountered stiff opposition, in Mrs. Lamber Chambers and Miss E. H. Harvey of England, and won only after dropping the first set 2-6, 6-4, 6-3. ! Miss Wills carried her team to victory virtually unaided, as her partner was in poor health and appeared on the courts only to oblige Helen and enable her to play through for the Beaumont trophy, which the California girl is very anxious to win. The Eng lish team were soon aware of Mrs. Aischlimann's weakness and cen tered their attack on her to win the first set. In the next two sets, however. Miss Wills was ill over the courts and played the match as if it were singles instead of doubles. The American champion receiv ed, an ovation from the largest crowd that ever attended a tennis tournament at Monte Carlo, al though this tourney is still in its early rounds. Miss Wills appear ances on the Riviera are now re garded as great attractions, as those of Suzanne Lenglen. There was a time when a French cham pion alone was able to draw large attendances, but the little Cali fornia girl has now challenged the ' pre-eminence of Suzanne in the hearts of the Riviera fans.
