WOMEN NET STARS SHOW G00D FORM Mary K. Browne Predicts Amer- ican Team Will Win BY MARY K. BROWNE United Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright, 1927, by United Press) Sea Bright, N. J., Aug. 4 (UP)— It T were captain of the American women's international tennis team, as T was just a year ago, 1 should now be highly gratified with the playing form of the prospective can- didates for the team, Molla Mallory, Eleanor Goss, Helen Jacobs, Mar- garet Blake and Charlotte Chapin. Not to mention that Helen Wills, No. 1 on the team, is playing the best tennis of her life. I do not think the English ladies will win the Wightman trophy, as they did two years ago when they came to America. The English have better doubles combination, for our players all segm to specialize in singles, and pay very little attention to combining regularly with a plau- sible team candidate so they can learn the all-important teamwork so essential in good double play. I practiced yesterday with Molla Mallory and found her just the same marvelous Molla, who always seems to play her strokes with confidence and fine direction. She is a two- stroke player, possessing only the forehand and backhand drive, de- vold of a net game, a severe service or a chop, vet Molla Mallory has gained seven national championships /| in America. To be sure, Suzanne Lenglen very rarely comes to the net in singles, though she is a brilliant vollier. Hel- en Wills comes in a little oftener than Suzanne, but not regularly by any means. The reason being mainly that ground strokes generally have | improved so much that the advance to the net must be very carefully prepared or the point will be lost The fact, however, that both Suz- anne Lenglen and Helen Wills can play the net if drawn to that posi- tion, is an asset which Mrs. Mallory does not possess, the lack of which is sometimes very embarrassing to her. For example, when Molla meets a clever opponent who will employ the short drop shot and close to the net cross court which will draw Molla automatically to the net, where she is at sea. Molla has tried to learn the vol- ley, but uses her drive stroke instead of the orthodox block volley stroke. Not playing the net in singles is a less serious handicap than fn doubles. Possession of the net in nine-tenths of the battle in doubles and as essential in women's doubles as in men’s. In the old days all four women remained in the back court and their double matches were the bane of the tournament commit- tee, because the rallies were mon- otonously long and uninteresting and the matches occupied the courts for hours. But foday it is as excit- ing to see a good ladies’ double with all four women fighting for the net position, as it is to watch the men in similar action. The women have learned to “kill"” overheads, to volley crisply from close to the net and to cleverly angle their placements. In fact, volley- ing has become so important that even though a player may not be as strong at the net as on the baseline, =till he should come in with his part. ner, if for no other reason than to keep his opponent back. You must possess the net to win. 3 The semi-final matches of the la- The Danger . . . that lurks in an Infant’s Cry! ABY must cry a certain amount. It's his only form of exercise. Yet, more than half the time, his little wail may be | traced to some real irritation that heis pleading with you to remove. Medical authorities now tell us that at least 66, of all babies are allowed to suffer needlessly the torture of Urea Ir- ritation. The stinging acids in the urine form tiny, gritty crystals—invisible to the eye, yet harsh and cruel to tender Frequent diaper changing is not enough. The one remedy is to keep these | crystals from contact with the body. Z.B.T.Baby Talcum is made exactly | for this type of irritation.

BABY TALCUM Fine for Baby’s Body— Fine for Every Body! dies’ singles at Sea Bright bring to- gether Helen Jacobs vs. Eleanor Goss and Molla Mallory vs. Charlotte Chapin, all candidates for the inter- national team. The results of these matches will go a long way to de- termine the singles players to sup- port Helen Wills, who is obviously our number one. Molla Mallory will, I believe, win trom Mrs. Chapin, but the Goss-Ja- cobs match will prove most inter- esting. They have never played each other and are very evenly matched. Should Miss Jacobs win, she is apt to be chosen for the third singles position on the team. Should she go so far as to beat both Miss Goss and Mrs. Mallory, she might find herself chosen to take the re- sponsibility of two single matches and be pitted against Mrs. Godfree and Miss Joan Fry, who are doubt- less the English team's first and sec- ond singles play It will be a difficult decision to make, however, for the problem of the cup committee is to decide which player has the best chance to defeat the English players, not who can beat whom among the members of | a team. Mrs. Mallory is at her best at Forest Hills and in these com- petitions, ) Jacobs, has already defeated Mrs, Mallory this year, and may be able to defeat her again. Still will Helen Jacobs keep her head in international competition with so much at stake? I think she will if given the chance. The results of the Sea Bright tournament will de- termine a great deal. Arbour Sues Belkin on Transportation Claim For alleged failure to pay for the transportation of fruits and produce, |$ the Joseph Arbour & Son Transpor- tation Co., through Monroe S. Gord- on, has brought suitfor $400 dam- ages against M. A. Belkin, New Brit- ain wholesaler. The writ is return- able in the city court the second Monday of August. Suit for $300 damages has been brought by James Goldsmith, through C. F. Gaffney, against Her- min Kalmanowitz. The writ is re- |turnable in the city court the third Monday of August. —— DROUHIN TO PILOT LEVINE BACK HOME Columbia Plane Owner and French Ace Agres Paris, Aug. 4 (M—Charles A. Le- vine, owner of the transatlantic plane Columbia, the newspapers said today, has formajly accepted the terms of the provisional agreement under which Maurice Drouhin, the French flier, was engaged to pilot the plane back to New York. That section of the agreement over which trouble developed involved the deposit of 300,000 francs (about $12,000) by way of insurance for Drouhin's wife and family. Drou- hin had already drawn up papers as the first step in an action to com- pel the American to carry out the terms of the tentative contract. The papers say the acceptance of the terms by Mr. Levine took place in the presence of a sheriff's officer and a sworn interpreter sent by M. Drouhin’s lawyer. This acceptance, before the sheriff's officer, it is add- ed, gives the French aviator an iron- clad guarantee and would enable him to place seals on the Colum- bia it Mr. Levine did not complete the contract. It is understood that further de- tails will be settled between the re- spective lawyers today, but that no hitch is anticipated since Drouhin’s main condition, namely that there fon for his family ident, seems assured. There is stated to be reasonable probability that the start of the overseas flight will be made within 15 days, when the moon will be at the full. The Donnelly Store Is Five Years Old The H. J.
