Speaking ; of Sports § Jimmy Slattery is today the new world’s light heavyweight champion. He is recognized as such in 24 states and four allied foreign countries which are members of the National Boxing assoclation. He won the title last night in a bout with Maxie Rosenbloom of New York at the velodrome in Hartford before a fairly good-sized crowd. For a championship fight, the bout was a poor one, little ex-| citement being furnished by either boxer. The All-New Britain football team will meet Thursday night at 8} o'clock at the Hotel Stanley to dis- cuss plans for the opening of the 1927 season.

HELEN WINS BAGK HER TENNIS TITLE Upholds Stars and Stripes in Glorious Style in Tourney By MARY K. BROWNE United Press Stafl Correspondent (Copyright 1927 by United Press) New York, Aug. 31 (UP)—Helen | Wills, the lona American upon the | tennis courts of Forest Hills, upheld the Stars and Stripes in glorious style. She won her fourth United States champlonship in a contest with Betty Nuthall, Great Britain's youngest star. Helen Wills is also all England champion. She has gained these two titles, the most im- portant in the world of tennis, with the loss of but one set. Until this year Helen Wills has iever been a convincing champion. She won, to be sure, but her matches were hard fought. There was not the same margin of superiority as she shows today. Helen Wills is at | the peak of her game. Tremendous | power in every stroke, better judg- | ment and grgater accuracy than ever before. The only player who stands between Helen W and world's supremacy is Suzanne Lenglen and | I feel that Helen is at last ready foM Suzanne, if only the game of lawn tennis was y for an open match.

She is not only very attractive, but she is refreshingly young. Yet, she plays with the wisdom of a Methus- ' experience. Her court judgment and poise seems to date back generations.

This year her hair is bobbed and she has gained considerably in height. me has improved by leaps and bounds. Another two years is apt to find this little Minerva of the courts back in America leading the international team for all Eng- | land. . Betty Nuthall first distinguished herself and came into prominence by her scnsational defeat of our nation- al champion, Mrs. Mallory. I was inclined to think # just a lucky day for Betty. I thought she was over rated, but each day at Forest Hills led me further into extravagant words of praise and I am a hard eritic. } The weaknesses in Betty Nuthall's | game are apparent but the strength in the unteachable things are so ! overpowering, one would be a fool | to predict anything but world honors | for this English Miss. In the finals with Helen Wills Betty Nuthall sent 34 returns out of court with 18 outs for Helen Wills. The youngster could not find the range of the court, shie was mis by inches, shots that were beautis Iy and intelligently directed, costly because they were out bounds.

STANDS SUPREME 0N TEANIS COURT {Betty Nuthall Promises Stiff Competition in Future 385 York. Aug. 31 (® — Helen an survey the women's tennis 14 today and call it her own. ing a sensational drive that | st June when she fought her |way through the classic Wimbledon {tournament to the continental cham- | pionship, the 21 year old California !girl yesterday conquered her finallst opponent in the American singles championship at Forest Hills, Miss | Betty Nuthall of England, by scores of 6-1; 6-4. Abroad, the sphinx defeated the pick of women stars of all the Euro- pean nations. At home she dispos- ¢d of one of the finest ficlds that cver competed in an American championship. The net result is un- isputed supremacy for the year 7. This is the fourth time in five years that “Little Poker Face” has been the queen of American tennis, lund she is still the hardest hitter |that the women's game has ever | known. o Although Miss Wills won in straight sets the final match was not without its element of drama. | “Bounding Betty” had her inning; it |developed in the second set and it ibrought a crowd of 8,000 to a high pitch of enthusiasm as the 16-year- old schoolgirl struggled up from a count of 1-4 to capture three out of four games from calculating rival. Helen Wills was and is supreme, but the means of her triumph yes- terday served to indicate that she is to face within the next two years at least, a renewed threat — more |serious, from the same smiling | voungster she turned back in the | title match. xperts have decreed that within ars Miss Nuthall will be close rity with Miss Wills. The ra- pidity of the English girl's improve- ment is phenomenal. Her game pick- ed up tremendously during the short | American invasion by the English {contingent. Major D. R. Lacombe, | manager of the British Wightman |cup team, regards Betty in the light {of a coming champlon. The highest compliment for the British player, however, came from | Miss Wills. “She plays a remarkable game.

Yesterday's finale was a back- court duel, with Miss Wills' exacti- tude and strategy being the dominat- of pace kept the English girl on edge every minute. Betty's policy was to drive with all her force to the corners and to back court. She jaltered this plan for a while in the second set and changed her with noticeable effect. It even looked for a time that the invading youngster had the young master on the run. During six games in this set Betty had Helen scampering all over the court to make recoveries. 8he held the up- per hand, bombarding Miss Wills away from the net with rifle-shot drives to the corners. During this crisis the American girl remained unperturbed. Her shots became even more daring, some of them sizling over the net within only a fraction of an inch to spare. The match looked like a rout for Miss Nuthall until the sixth game of the first set rolled around. Miss ‘Wills permitted her opponently only six shots during that time and cap- tured five successive games. Then Betty scored on her own service, only to see the champlon come right back and force her into three outs jon service.
