Speaking of Sports Jean Cieszynski of this city won two silver loving cups in the state A. A. U. aquatic meet in New Ha- ven Wednesday. The events were staged in New Haven harbor and the local girl was a winner of two of them. The Kensington Tabs will practice tonight at 6 o'clock at the Percival avenue grounds. All members of the team must be on hand because those who do not appear for the workout tonight will not make the New London trip Sunday. The Tabs are scheduled to meet the Fort Trumbull Stars in a re- turn game in the Whaling City Sun- day afternoon. The team will leave Kensington promptly at 12 o'clock, | noon, The Southington Pextos are through for the season. The team made a creditable showing in the Central Connecticut league although it was receiving its bumps towards the end of the year. Three local players were members of the squad, Ray Begley, Eddie Ziegler and Fran cis S8heehan. New Haven is to have a strong football team, according to the dope| at hand. A man by the name of| Willams has gotten together what/ looks like an imposing array of grid talant. His line is pomposed of for- mer stars from Penn State while his backfleld is made up of some of the “{ron-men" in Brown university last year. This gives another addition to the | clubs already thinking about join- ing the contemplated state league. The New Haven team will open ageinst the Yellow Jackets of | Frankford, Pa. and will play the! Stsam Rollers of Providence. The manager was seeking a game with | All-New Britain and he interviewed Manager Edward J. Dailey on the sibject. No announcement has yet teen made. Val Flood, pro at the Shuttle Mea- | dow club, will be in Washington, . .. Monday attending a conference of grass experts from all over the| country. Val is rated as one of the | best greenskeepers in the United | States and his counsel is widely| sought. ! The Corbin Red Sox will go to Middletown Sunday to meet the team there in the last Central league Micky Noonan and Farrell of | Hartford will be added to the line- | up of the Falcons this coming Sun- day in the game against All-Ke sington.

BROWNE (United Press Staff Correspondent) New York, Aug. 25—(Copyright, 1927, by ited Press)—The two ring tennis “circus” at Forest Hills ‘was fullof thrills but a bad day for | England. Their players fell like ten pins before the curves and straights | of the Amgrican bowlers. Out of the seven foreigners in the last 16, only one Dutch girl, Kea Bouman and the youngest of the English girls, Betty Nuthall, survived. ‘The match which upset the dope sheet was the Fry-Chapin match for most of the dopesters looked forward to a return meeting between Mrs. Mallory and Joan Fry. Very few of Mrs. Chapin’s friends thought she would win from the “Joan of Arc” of English tennis, but Mrs. Chapin outplayed the English girl in every department of the game, even matching forehand drives, though | Mrs. Chapin's weakest stroke is on the right wing. The results of ham- mering the opponents’ weakness is either to smash it to pleces or set it on “fire” Joan Fry set Mrs. Chapin’s forehand on “fire,” while Mrs. Mallory, who hammered the life out of Gwendolyn Sterry's fore- arm smashed it to pieces. When we analyze the games of Mrs. Chapin and Joan Fry, we should not be surprised at the results, for Mrs. Chapin has a stronger service, |a better back hand and a better net game. Miss Fry is her superior only from her forearm and her ability to cover court on ordinary occasions. but Mrs. Chapin played inspired tennis, She has won the right to play Mrs. Mallory and a close match should result. Though Mrs. Mal- lory has defeated Mrs. Chapin twice this season, in their last match a week ago Mrs. Chapin took her to the full three sets. Betty Nuthall, girl wonder, played with her usual vouthful abandon, pounding over wift, deep drives which kept her opponent, “Nip” Anderson, away from the net, where Miss Ander- son shines. Then Betty would slip over a short cross court and kept her opponent guessing. Beyond that, there was little or no tactics, simply that more urate The Sterry-Mallory match was an exciting one. It went to three but it was unusual that they were all love sets. Little Gwendolyn Ster- ry had all the gallery crazy about her. They were cheering her wild- 1y when she took a love set from our national champion. She was going a mile a minute { but the ten minute rest after the se her undoing. For in England there is no rest allowed after the second set and both M ss Fry got cold and stride. In the cold and a rest would be muscles would Americ the ond set wa out of their climate in En suicide. Your up. but in often intens sets is nece ten minute the two young Mallory took her rest calmly had her tea with four lumps of sugar and came back strong. Mrs Chapin, whose gr t handicap is lack of stamina, relished her rest Considering the difficulties playing in a foreign country that it is the first trip for both Gwendolyn Sterry and Betty Nut- 1, they have done wonderfully well. Betty Nuthall is not through doing things yet. She has an even chance of going into the finals. The tenacious British are won- derful adversarics. Miss Harvey of England fought with bull dog spirit against Eleanor Gos ‘rom the standpoint of good tennis it was the best match of the day. Neither player let up on their hitting the three hard sets and though America represented by Eleanor Goss, triumphed in the end it was a moral victory for i Harvey, who has just recently gain- ed a reputations as a singles pla er. Though she has heen to Ameri- ca twice on the Wightman Cup team, try only in the doubles. The match was the last on the program and the deciding set went to 11-9. The points were so closely contested and the play so thrilling that the gallery staved fog the last gasp. Mrs. Hill of England, another to fall by the wayside, at least, had the great distinction of leading Helen Wills for a few brief moments in the second set, at 3 games to 1, but her ad soon vanished. Helen has lost a total of eight games in three matches. Mrs. Hill contested her points so well that the gallery was treated to the thrill of secing Helen Wills slightly extended and obliged to call upon her gre: The two ring circus affair at Forest Hills is both distracting and disconcerting to the gallery and the players alike. Not nearly so peace- ful as Wimbledon where they have only one “center” court enclosed and therefore only one big match in progress. . T was a wreck trying to sce’everything that was going on.

For years the |condition of the Shuttle Meadow |course at all times and seasons of the year has been the cause of wonder to both grass experts and players alike. Although Mr. Flood is not on the program for a prepared address, he the | will most certainly be called on to advise on some of the problems facing the assoclation. He has « priceless nursery at his home near the club house and here Val has experimented with all kinds of {srass until he has grown combina- |tions known all over the world. To play Shuttle Meadow course is to enter a golfer's paradise. Not only from & scenic standpoint is [the course one of the most beauti- ful in the country, but the excel- llent condition of the entire struc- ture from the first tee to the final I holes, fairly shouts of the wonder- ;(ux experience possessed by the onc — e man through whom such a pars. dise is possible. Mr. Flood’s exper- ience of more than 50 years can be appreciated nowhere better than at Shuttle Meadow. A tombstone tournament will be played at the club tomorrow as the weekly feature.
