> Speakin of Sport PEESITEOILIITOTVITITEIOTT At the present time it appears that all rts will be called off because of rain. The Industrial Baseball lengue especially will'suffer with two more postponed games being placed on the schedule. All last seagon, the Dusty league was dogged with bad weather and it appears that it will be a case of postponed games all through this season if the weather keeps on the way it has siace the season opened up. There wil be no further amateur boxing toarnaments in this city ac- cording ‘0 an announcement by J. J. Whaler of the Mohawk A. C. last night.

X Referring, of course, to Helen mlh and the worlds singles tennis e. “There are three American and three foreign stars whom I fear,” the flashing-eyed Californian told me at Forest Hills just prior to her sailing. “I have carefully mapped out a campaign along a definite route,” she said, listing them in the order of her' personal ranking. The American aces are Miss Elizabeth Ryan of California, Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory and Miss Elea- nor Goss of New York. The for- elgn aces are Mrs. Kathleen Mc- Kane Godfree, Miss Joan Fry and Miss Eileen Bennett. “Would I like to play Suzahne? Well, I should say so. Why, she's the finest player in the world!” and here our little Helen smiled and smashed a baseline return that fair- :)y Sizzled the net top as it whizzed y. Incidentally, it anyone thinks Helen is fat and ungainly, that one has another think coming. She is daintier than ever, faster afoot, and slimmer than before her oper- ation last season. “If you'll promise not to quote me as saying so definitely, I think there is a possibility of my meeting Miss Lenglen this summer. You see, they are considering an exhibition match for charity. Mr. Tilden, you know, was permitted to play Mr. Richards in the south for the same cause. It ‘Wwas a professional-amateur match,” Of the list of opponents, Miss Ryan has the best record. They met twice at Seabright tourna- ments and on both occasions Miss Ryan won. Mrs. Mallory, who pre- ceded and succceded Miss Wills as natlonal champion, had not been able to defeat her for three years, but finally won last season at Rye. N, Y.’ Mrs, Godfree, who holds the Wimbledon championship, has faced Helen four times and won twice, Miss Fry gave her a most difficult battle the last time they met. Miss Bennett, latest of the newer stars to show great promise, has yet to meet the American gir}. { Helen will not reveal to what de- gree she will alter her game to down her six rivals. Heretoforo she has relied on her terrific service and paceful driving. “I rarely ventured from the baseline to engage in volleying| battles,” she said, “and, as a re- sult, I had been made the victim on several occasions of clever chopping and angling.” All in all, Helen looked mighty sweet. Her service is improved. She is putting more “stuff” on the ball. Her backhand is still the best of any woman player. Her over- head is better, due to recent prac- tice. Her powers of anticipation have been developed remarkably. Almost invariably she is in the right position to handle her op- ponents’ returns. She is faster and more eager than ever before and Is five pounds lighter. She is especially: keen for a re- newal bf her feud with her tradi- tional enemy, Suzanne Lehglen. 8o, for that matter, are all of us. i GETS DUE REWARD All it took to win a letter was persistence, and Iggy McVey had plenty of that in his quest for a varsity letter at St. Mar: (Cali- fornia) College.

(UP)—Hence- forth it will require an army of ‘deep-sea divers o rob the vaults of the Bank of England. The saying “sate as the Bank of England” is in no danger of becom- ing obsolete now, until all the water is removed from the surface of Mother Earth, as new defenses which are being included in the re- building of the bank which is now taking place, will constitute obsta- cles to invasion such as have never vet been created in the circum- stances. ‘When the work is terminated, it will be possible to flood the bank's great vaults from three different places: Kirst, from the premises of the building itself, second from a point in this city which, of course, is being kept secret and lastly from an undivulged locality~ten miles out of London. In addition to the devices which will require prospective burglars,to become fishes, it they plan to visit the Bank of England, the builders have provided a system whereby in case any modern and evil-disposed one of the concrete blocks which consti- tute the walls of the building, an electric wire will be broken result- ing in the immediate sounding of an Pltching—Pennock, Yankees, won 5, lost 0.

Az the ship passed from the han- the cable |caught in a submerged trackwa; {The tail of the dirigible was jerked | downward with great force and. be {tore the tio engines could be turned off a large section of the silk en- velope was torn away. The rudders also were stripped off and although she was only about 50 feet off the ground, she nosed to earth with sufficient force to break the gon- dola. The crew managed to escape | through clouds of silkk that fell on {them as the envelope deflated. About 200,000 cubic feet of val- uable helium gas was lost, but the engines and instruments were sal- | vaged with but little damage. The |remnants of the enveloj packed for shipment to Scott field. The ship was 200 fect long and 55 feet high, and had a capacity of 230,000 cubic feet of helium. Major Harold {mand of the T {the helm when , but not at the ship crashed, | declared a jinx apparently dog- |ging his fooisteps. Another blimp | which he commanded, the C-2, in- |flated with hydrogen, exploded five | years ago in almost the same pl {that yesterday's mishap occurred. | The helium now used for such ships Is not-inflammable. The TC-10-243, Major Strauss, was cently when the crew was forced to deflate it in & storm at Leavenworth, | Kas. This ship was en rcute to the | maneuvers here and the TC-10-243 | was sent to replace it.
