BEGINS GONQUEST 70 REGAIN TITIE Helen Wills Starts Play at Forest Hills Today By HENRY L. FARRELL United Press Staff Correspondent New York, Aug. 22—Miss Helen Wills, the first of the increasing numbers of ‘“unofficial American ambassadors to Europe’{ will begin on the turf courts at.Forest Hills today her conquest to win back the American national tennis cham- pionship. Before Bobby Jones and the filers had been extolled as agents grasping the hands across the well known sea, Helen Wills started selling the United States to Europe and she is just back from another selling trip which won for her the Wimbledon championship in which were entered all the greatest ama- teur players in the world. If she wins at Forest Hills this | week she will be the undisputed champion of the world—and a most popular one. There still remains Mile. Suzanne Lenglen to dispute the claim but Mile. Lenglen is no longer a mem- ber of the amateur family and some good authorities such as Miss Mary K. Browne are of the opinion that the young American girl could beat the French star with the game she is now playing. So well is she playing that she is a prohibitive favorite to regain the title that is now held by the veteran Mrs. Molla Mallory. There are others besides Mrs. Mallory in the fleld of eniries. There are, for instance, the British girls, captained by Mrs. Kitty Mec- Kane Godfree, one of the greatest players in the game; Miss Kea Bouman, the Dutch champion, and other good American players like Miss Helen Jacobs and Miss Eleanor Goss. The foreign players, however, are not in the best of condition as a result of the terrible weather ot recent weeks and their game nat- urally cannot be at its best. Miss Bouman is in such bad condition she may be unable to start and if she does she can’t go very far. Mrs. McKane has been suffering from a severe cold and has been here such a short time that she hasn't had the chance to get suffi- cient practice. Her teammates, Betty Nuthall, the child of Wim- bledon, and Gwendolyn Sterry are formidable players, but they lack the experience and the “feel” of the West Side club courts to make them dangerous, The form—or lack of form—that the British team showed in the Wightman cup matches indicated that Miss Wills and Mrs. Mallory are the class of the field and that the championship swings between them. Considering the sweep that Miss Wills made through Europe and the poor success Mrs. Mallory had there and in her matches when she returned to this country, the young former champion might be regard- ed as a cinch. Mrs. Mallory, however, may have played herself back on to the top of her game. She played like a champion in the Wightman cup matches and her game was a reve- lation to those who had counted her out. But they have been count- ing Mrs. Mallory and Billy John- ston out for years. Miss Wills, however, has been taking it easy since she returned from Europe to forestall any dan- ger of becoming over-tennised and it may have some effect upon her game. She has been practicing a lot and those who have seen her and played against her express the opinion that she is greater than she ever was and that means a lot. Granting that she has all the class she seems to have, Miss Wills --ill not have a walk through becausc Mrs. Mallory is one of the game's most courageous fight¢rs and she can still play a little tennis. Miss Wills is the bet, however. AMATEUR TOURNEY DRAWS INTEREST Yoo Elm and B(-»bby Jones Favorites at Minikahda Minneapolis, Aug. 22 (A—Golfdom centered its attention today on near- ly 200 amateurs gathered at the Minikahda club, on the first qualify- ing round of the national amateur championship, and especially on the destinies of George Von Elm of Los Angeles, titleholder, and Bobby Jones of Atlanta, who lost the crown to the westerner last year. ‘While these men are favorites for finalists a third successive time, their positions are not so exact as to guarantee that some other player may not put one or both out of the running in the early rounds of match play. There were 174 sterling players listed to start the medal round to- day, and among them were such names as Jimmy Johnston, leader for two rounds in the national open, playing on his home course, Francis Cuimet, of Boston, Bob Gardner and Chick Evans of Chicago, William F. Fownes, and Dave Herron, of Pitts- burgh and Max Marston of Philadel- phia, all former champions, some of them twice. There were also a score of state and regional titleholders and Bon Stein of Seattle, western king, and Carl Kaufman of Pittsburgh, public links champion. In addition there was an invasion of Canadians with Don Carrick of Toronto, Dominion champion for the second time and Foss Somerville of London. Ontario, runner-up te Carrick after holding the Canadian title twice. Moreover there was the Minikahda course, 6,669 yards long, with a par of 72, and traps in treacherous fash- ion. The links can be =olved, how- ever, as it was by Chick Evans in | 1916 when he set a record of 286 for the national open. The course has been lengthened, although par has been broken one stroke by the champion and one or two others. 1In fact, if yesterday’s trial round had been for the title, Von Elm would have kept it from Jones; for, playing together in a foursome, the Californian scored par 72, despite two penalty strokes, and defeated the Atlantan one up. The schedule called for the first pair to tee off at 8:30. FOG HALTS SHORE T0 SHIP AIRMAIL Big Navy Flying Boat Quits in Rlankets of Mists Naval Air Station, Squantum, Mass., Aug. 22 (P—Heavy fog off the Massachusetts coast early Sunday defeated the attempted ‘“shore to ship airmail” flight, and forced the PN-10, U. S. navy flying boat to re- turn to its base here after the plane had battled the thick weather for more than an hour and a half in an effort to reach the Leviathan, 375 miles off lh‘s coast. Destroyer Turns Back U. 8. Destroyer Lawrence (at sea), Aug. 22 (P—Her errand made fu- tile by fog wall that barred Lieut. C. H. Schildhauer in his mail' laden plane from the Leviathan today, the destroyver Lawrence put back for New York after escorting the liner 460 miles out to sea. The navy ship had been sent out to stand by and give aid should any mishap ‘occur to mar the attempt of Lieut. Schildhauer to put four sacks of mail aboard the liner, but the fog prevented Schildhauer from making the experiment. After steaming alongside the liner all night, the destroyer learned by wireless that the navy plane PN-10 had been forced back to its airport at Squantum, and leaving the Le- viathan plowing her way toward Europe, the Lawrence swung about and headed for her base at the Brooklyn navy yard. Quake in Massachusetts Not Recorded at Harvard Cambridge, Ma Aug. 22 (BP— Prefessor Kirtly F. Mather, head of the department of geology at Har- vard today reported that the univer- ¢ity seismograph showed no record of the serfes of rumblings and slight tremors felt along the Massachusetts south shore Saturday night. From description of the disturb- ance, Professor Mather said that it had all the earmarks of a light earthquake. Failure of the seismo- graph ‘to record the shock was not an indication that a local earth- quake might not have occurred. Fre- quently, he explained, local earth- quakes have occurred in New Eng- land without being recorded on the Harvard seismograph, which is “tun- ed in" for distant, deep-seated tre- mors. “We have a record of the Cali- fornia earthquake, but it occurred two hours after the local disturb- ance and could not possibly have been felt here. They had no rela- tion whatever. Man Would-Be Suicide Keeps Identity Secret New York, Aug. 22 (R —Steadfast- ly refusing to tell the police the names of his relatives, Allen B. Cox, 23, an artist, who was found in his studio in a loft bufiding with a self- inflicted bullet wound over his heart, remained stolidly silent today to questions by detectives other than to say “I just have a different phil- osophy.” A friend who called at St. Vin- cent's hospital, where Cox is report- ed to be in ecritical condition, told police that Cox ‘“had plenty of money."” A sealed letter, addressed to Miss Clara Diane, Mill Rift, Pike county, Pa., found in Cox's room, was the single clue by which detectives said they hoped to learn the whereabouts of Cox's fami | Deputy Treasurer Judd To Speak at Boston Deputy State Treasurer Thomas H.
