Speaking ; of Sports 1t all the things that are being said about the coming battle be- tween the the Falcons and the Cor. bin Red Sox, could be printed, this would surely be a red-hot column. Not in a good long while have the hackers of each team been so keen about anything as they are about winning this first game. Following the unpleasantness engendered last season when the Falcons refused to | play the Corbin Red Sox because the latter team had no home diamond, there arose bad feelings between the two crews and the sting of this still rankles. The Red Sox are a serious-minded crew of ball tossers as regards this game. Every plager on the squad will be on his toes and every oppor- tunity for a score will be seized. The Falcons, however, are just as much on edge. Reports from this camp state that the club is ready | for the best that the Sox can send out and the saying is that the best is none too good. Probably one of the largest crowds on record this season will be on hand at St. Mary's field to watch the battle. With two crews feeling the way these two are, there is sure to be plenty of flreworks. However, with Eddle Crowley and | Herble Sautter handling the umpir- | ing assignments, the players will have to play the game at all times. | These two boys are among the most efficient baseball umpires in the city | and, working together, they form an | almost unbeatable combination. Football fans about the city haven't ceased their growling yet over the action of the park board in allowing the Ranger A. C. to use Memorial Field during the coming season. { There are many who are back of the Rangers in the proposition while others are solidly massed be- hind the officlals of the All-New Britain club. Manager Edward J. Dailey of the All-New Britain team is expected back shortly from his vacation and a conference will be held between Peter Perakos and himself. These two men threatened to pull out when the park board decided to hold a public hearing in the granting of the | Rangers the right to use the field. | Whether they will take this action or not depends on the decision to be reached when the manager and pro- moter get together. 200 MENU COSTLY Prices of Beetle and Ant Egg Food Exceeds Those of “One Arm” Restaurants in Downtown N. Y.. | New York, Aug. 19 (P—Imported dried flies at forty cents a pound and ant's eggs and ground beetles at ! sixty are holding menu costs at the | Bronx zoological park far beyond “ham and” prices at some of the downtown “one-arm* restaurants. Fastidious appetites of one of New York's best fed classes daily require strange and uncommon foodstuffs from almost every cor- ner of the world, says Dr. W. Reid Rlalr, director of the Bronx zoologi- cal garden. The city spends more than $44,- 000 annually, Dr. Blair says, to feed hundreds of animals and reptiles and 2,040 specimens of birds. Birds | are among the zoo's most expensive | residents. For some of them dried fies are imported from Europe, two of which are devoured daily, and | for other birds ground beetles and | ant eggs must be imported from Africa and South America. The weird assortment of “chow” | served from the 2zoo commissary | dafly is as equally strange as the assortment of residents there. How- | ever, few people realize, officials say | that most of the “poor, confined ‘animals” are doubtlessly happier in the present environment than they would be in the wilds. This s mainly because a great! proportion of them are native New | Yorkers, Bronx born, and, to quote a member of the z00's staff of keep- ers, “Never saw anything wilder than some of the people that stand there and stare at them every day.” | Miss Alfhild Larson New Queen of Fashion! St. Louis, Aug. 19 (M—Miss Al- frild Larson, of Pittshurgh, Pa., was crowned the 1927 “Queen of Fashion” at the annual St. Louis style show last night. The show is aged yearly to find the “most near- ly perfect garment model in the United States,” Shg was awarded $1.000, The other contestants from eight states were: Myrtle Allen, Cleveland; Jeanne Carruthers, Clinton, Mo.

Thousands were assembled at two stations of the Northwestern rail- road but Dempsey . alighted in a suburb where he was unrecognized. Then he went downtown to “meet the bunch™ but the Morrison hotel lobby and entrance were jammed so tightly that he tried three times without success to get inside and finally had to enter the back door. Once settled in the bungalow on the roof, he greeted scores of old friends and newspapermen. “It's great to be back in Chicago, Dempsey said to them all. T s T've lots of friends here and T have always wanted to fight here. 1 | | i 1 [ I don’t know of any place I'd rather win back my title than right here. Ten years ago I used to go on for my act at a little west side theater here when the buzzer sounded.” A visit to Lincoln fields race course, where his training will begin Monday, and perhaps a look at Sol- dier field, where he will fight again for the crown that once was his, | were Dempsey's only plans for the day. Manager Leo Fiynn hoped to get in a round of golf with Demp- sey and perhaps Tex Rickard, to help Jack get rid of his “train {legs.” The latest word from Gene Tunney's camp at Speculator, | N. Y., was that Tunney would ar- rive late next weck to finish his training at the Cedar Crest Coun- try club. The size of the purse Tunney will carry off, win, lose or draw, in the battle at Soldier field, Sept. 22, is one of the things Dempsey's friends were concerned ahout while Jack was resting up today, for the start of his training grind next Monday Champion Gene will get a million and a quarter for his fight, Dempsey's advisers have fig- ured, while Jack will get about half that sum. Tunney's contract calls | for $500,000 and one-half the gate | in excess of a million. “Dempsey is the drawing card in | this fight.” said Iloyd Fitzsimmons. | a promoter himself and one of Dempsey’s close friends. “And every- body knows it too. If the gate gocs to $3.000.000 as Tex Rickard and his hackers expect, Tunney will get in the neighborhood of $1,200,000 for his share. Dempsey's percen- tage will be no where near this | amount.” 1 The former champion Is fizured to get around $700.600 while the mo- | tion picture profits will be shared equally by Tunney, Demp and | Rickard. CHOOSING PLAYERS Biggest Task of Davis Champion Cup Com- mittee s to Sclect Two For | Singles and Doubles. New York, Aug. 19 (P)—Although the American Davis Cup team mem- bership has been decided upon, the iggest task of the sclection com- mittee of the United States Lawn Tennis association at of picking | two players for the four singles | matches and two for the doubles team, is still to be encountered.

LEAGUE, STANDING AMERICAN LEAGUE MARY BROWNE ON TENNIS METHODS Gives Expert Opinion on Play oI; Miss Helen Wills By MARY K. BROWNE (United Press Staff Correspondent.) White Plains, N. Y, Aug. 19— (Copyright, 1927, by United Press) —Editar's note: Tennis finesse is |still somewhat of a mystery to the average fan. The strength, weakness and- methods of the outstanding players often go unobserved whereas an intimate knowledge of these things would, I am sure, give the spectators a greater appreciation and consequently a greater enjoy- | ment of the play. I have prepared a series of three |articles designed to familiarize the public with the play of some of the outstanding players who will com. pete for the women’s national tenni: championship of the United States beginning Monday, August 22.

Helen Wills was laptly described as “the girl who iplays like a man, but runs with the | | mincing steps of a girl.” In just this | | description you have the etrength |and weakness of Helen'd game de- picted. Her strength of the power of | her strokes and her weakness in her poor footwork. Helen Wills has never been noted | | for her speed in covering the court. | Nature made her slow moving and it is a credit to Helen's intelligence |the way she has improved her gam |along lines which have nearly nu'li- |fled her weakness. She has learncd |to hit the ball so hard and accurate- ly, she puts her opponents on the | defensive so much that scarcely any | of them can make her run. She has learned to anticipate and | to start sooner, also she plays closer in which helps her reach all points her court with the minimum amount of running. Yet, it is this weakness Suzanne Lenglen would pick out, if these two were to meet. Suzanne told me that Helen runs efficiently from side to side on the baseline, but that Helen cannot run well forward and back. | Therefore, the best tactics to em- ploy against Helen are the acute |fore court angles, and the drop shots : |followed by deep baseline shots and {lobs. | The difficulty lies in the fact that | these shots which are most effective against Helen Wills are the most difficult shots in tennis to control, ‘|and they are still not a part ot the | equipment of the ordinary player and of only a few of the very best. | |The men make better use of the forecourt than the women and the | varsity boys at the California Uni- versity defeat Helen by these short | angles, which draw her up, then| they send her back with a deep re-| turn. The best direction for a service | delivery or to prepare for an ad- |vance to the net against Helen is ‘cnfl directed straight at her. Helen's coordination of mind and feet are ck. She does not get out | of the way. However, Helen's serv- [ife and her strokes are o severe {and her length so good that her op- | ponents can rarely get set to launch | |this attack.

That is her main weak- | ness this year. She cannot get depth and pace on her returns, which is| the essential factor in affording Mr Godfree her opportunity to advance to the net where she counts on end- ing many of her points favorable. You can see her all set for her| advance to the net, only to find that her return has found the net or was too shallow and weak to intercept the passing shot of her opponent.
