COURTS, Forest Hills, N. Y.,| Aug. 16.—Miss Helen Wills, pretty | California miss, is again the national | women's tennis champion. She suc-| cessfully defended her title here this afternoon against Mrs. Molla Mal fory, seven times champion, defeat. | ing the veteran, 6-1, 6-3. | Looking forward to another battle | like the one that thrilled thousands last year, crowds swarmed into the} big stadium of the West Side Tennis} club here this afternoon to see the| third battle between Miss Wills and | Mrs. Molla Mallory for the woman's | national tennis championship. Both sentiment and form favored the; young California girl to retain her championship and to add to the} laurel she earned in winning the Olympic championship in Paris from | a field of the world’s greatest stars. | STARS GIVEN OVATION ‘The two stars were given an en-| thusiastic demonstration from the} crowd when they started warming up. The stadium was more than half | filled when the referee and the lines-| men took their places and hundreds | ‘were streaming in from all the en- trances. Playing with all the brilliance and} power of a great champion, Miss/| Wills fairly overwhelmed Mrs, Mal- lory when she won the first set, 6-1. Miss Wills started serving and won the first point when she caught Mrs. Mallory out of position with @ powerful base’ line drive. The! champion then won the first game at love on/nets. With a fast place- ment and her opponent's net errors, | Miss Wills broke thru service and| won the second game, losing two points on nets. The young champion fell into net errors in the third game and lost her service. HELEN DRIVES | AT BACK COURT | Driving successfully at the deep | back-hand corner, Miss Willis broke thru service and won the fourth game, taking the lead at 2-1. Smashing over her service with Such tremendous pace that Mrs, Mal- Jory couid not handie it, Miss Wills won the fifth game. Miss Wills was | Playing with ease and perfect poise. | She seemed completely confident as she crashed thru and won the sixth game. The stout fighting heart of Mrs. Mallory urged her to a great fight in the seventh game, which she carried to deuce five times, but. she lost the game and set on a beautiful place ment and a drive into the net. Miss Wills and Mrs. George Wightman won the semi-final dou- Dies match against Miss Mary | Browne and Mrs. Dudley, at 9-7, 6-1. .

Emergency raincoats of cre pe paper have been devised. BY JOE WILLIAMS A FEW days ago the writer played a round of golf with an elderly player who had, in his day, |won sundry state and sectional jchamplonships. No longer an active tournament contestant, he was con- tent to play the game for recrea- tion, yet he always kept decently close to par. We noted with wonder the ease and simplicity of his game. Ad. j|Vanced ago had taken nothing from the grace and rhythm of his strokes, Maybe the old power was no longer |there, but his shots still flew from |the club head with a gratifying “click”; he got good distance and NOT ONCE during the course of two 18-hole rounds was he in the rough, SEVERAL times he was short with his second or his approach and had to play from a sand trap. And always, we noted, he used a straight-faced club, usually a put. ter, to roll the ball up the bank, onto the green, Naturally the conditions were fay- orable; the sand was somewhat baked and the bunkers sloped, with Williams Claims Duffer Uses Niblick Too Freely no projecting hindrances at the top. Nevertheless the ave. ge player would not have used a straight. faced club, He would have un- sheathed a ferocious looking niblick and whanged away at the ball for dear life. The average player has the notion that a niblick is the club to play in a trap, regardless of any and all conditions, Now, the niblick with its big face laid well back is a most treach: erous club, Even the experts have their troubles with it. For that reason alone the struggling duffer Should give pause. Tt is much easter to manipulate a straight-faced club in a trap when conditions are favorable, not only casior but the chances of getting better results are in your favor, Just determine how much force the |shot demanés and then tap the ball, The simplicity of the operation will surprise you, Likewise the te sults, Frequently you will find your bail has stopped a few scant inches from the cup. This, of course, is not a new golf idea, It is as old as the game it self, But for some reason or other it is not generally employed, Not by the duffers, at any rate, enc heinrich cardi Sinb lala af AUC Indians Are Victors in 15 Innings Cliff Brady Gets Homer With Lane On in First Stanza The in the was tied until Rohwer loaded 2 Was purposely man had fanned. 0 made a per but the usually able * Hannah dropped the nd that decided things right Christian whiffed Red Bald. was forced at second T | sing’ when walked, Crane hit to fect play De to home, oller hree men faced Jones in the last of the 16th.

During the season of 1923, quite |a few twirlers in both major leagues | rather disaproved such a belief. | The averages of the American Na- | tional leagues show a number of lead- jing twirlers with batting averages better than .300. Incidentally, some of the game's greatest hitters began their base- ball careers as pitchers, Babe Ruth for instance. Jack Bentley, of the Giants, is also a shining example. Just at present one of the out- standing stars of the National league jis Hazen Cuyler, star outfielder of the Pittsburg Pirates. STARS FOR PIRATES: Cuyler, aside from playing a fine game in the field, is one of the most | dangerous’ batters in the National league. His stick work has featured the recent sensational spurt of the Pirates, which has carried the club Into second place in the National League race. Cuyler began his baseball career as a twirler. He early decided he did not have enough stuff to succeed as a pitcher, and he was anxious to make the grade in the majors. A good batsman, he took to the out field. He has realized his ambition. CAREER READS LIKE FICTION Cuyler's rise to fame in the base ball world has been meteoric, regu- lar fiction stuff. The Pirate star in 1918, at the ass of 17, enlisted, He rose to the rank of sergeant. Later was selected as Time—2 ey and Phyle. | }one of 60 enlisted men to take the West Point examinatoln, He was one of two candidates to pass. Tirlng of army life he later resigned. Baseball had a greater appeal to Cuyler than the routine of the army. He joined the Bay City club of the Michigan-Ontario league in 1920. The following year he was bought by Pittsburg. For two years the Pirates farmed him out, first to the Charleston (8, C.) club of the South Atlantic league and then to Nashville of the Southern association, Those two seasons in the minors gave Cuyler the polish needed; now he is a big league star, There ts no more valuable player on the Pitts: burg club, Cuyler sure can hit, Yet he was once a pitcher, WIFE LIVERPOOL, -Harold Allen Eng.
