owing to the fact that all four contest
ants could not get together today
The first set of the final singles. which
was played at the club headquarters at
23d and Arch streets, was particularly
hard fought In majority of the match
es in the earlier rounds the play through
out was generally of the back-court Nari-

today both Miss Walsh and Miss Fox
played hard to gain the strategic position
at the net, with the former a little more
successful than her opponent Miss Fox
relied principally on sideline shots that
were placed with rare accuracy, For the
most part each player won on her op-
ponent's service, and a majority of the
games went to deuce With the score
standing seven.all Miss Walsh won her
service to 10 and then captured the set
game to 30.
After two.all in the second set Miss

WILLARD ARRIVES
in NEW YORK FOR
BOUT WITH MORAN
Champion Feels Cit" and
Starts Training for
Big Fight
BIG ADVANCE SEAT SALE

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Ruddy Of cheek
and showing no signs of his recent 'ill-
ness" Jess Willard arrived in New York
today from Chicago to train for his COM
ing bout with Frank Moran. The heavy
weight champion said that he was feeling
good and would get down TO training at
once.
Willard was the hero of gathering at
the Grand Central Station. The crowd fol-
lowed him to his taXicab. negro porters
staring open-eyed at the white giant who
had walloped Jack johnson into uncon-
seriousness at Havana. The fighter was
accompanied by his manager. Tom Jones,
and several other members of his retlnue.
The party was met by Tex Rickard
promoter of the match with Moran, who
was the happiest man at the station. He
said that Willard appeared very fit"
and that all doubt of the match taking
place had been removed.
From the station Willard and his party
drove to the Hotel Wallick, and then to
the Pioneer Athletic Club where the
champion will have his training quarters
After willard arrived, it was announced
that the advance sale of seats for the
hight already amounts to $4,000.
I'm in fine shape right now" de-
clared Willard. II weigh 257 pounds,
not 2sO or 300. as some of the reports
nave IT, Ihe general impression is that
my year of idleness from ring work has
fattened me. Well. it hasn't I've kept in
shape right along.
81 can carry 257 pounds very easily
and 1t may be that l will go into the ring
against Moran weighing only a trihe un-
der that mark"
Willard planned to begin training late
In the afternoon, but it was likely that
this program will be changed, owing to
the fact that Jack HempIe and Walter
Monohan. his sparring partners, didn't
arrive until late in the day"

VOLLMER, STAR
SWIMMER, MADE
HIMSELF VICTOR
Tank Marvel Invents Own
Peculiar Stroke After
Watching Others
HOLDS WORLDS RECORDS

Herbert Vollmer, the 19-year-old swim
ming marvel of Columbia University. who
has broken worlds records at every Inn
portant meet this season, is a self-made
champion. He picked UP the stroke he
uses-the four-beat single trudgeon crawl
by watching leading swimmers. and then
took pains to study the scientific princl-
pies which govern It, formed his own ideas
and proceeded to exploit them.
vollmer has had coaching, of course, but
those who supervised his work were per-
mltted to correct only the faults Of execu-
tion every swimmer incurs, and not TO
change his style. on that point he was
always firm. Having reached his own con-
cluslons as to the ideal stroke, he intended
to follow them and did.
1t was during the season of 1928
that Vollmer served his novitiate in the
competitive field, wearing the colors of
Stuyvesant High School, New York. Be-
fore the season closed he had leaped into
the limelght In March at the scholas-
tic championships he captured the so and
1O0.yard titles in brilliant manner, break
ing the league records at both distances.
The summer found vollmer sporting the

improving so rapidly that the A. A. u.
Handicapped couldn't keep him from win.
ming. He went on bettering his time
throughout the following winter, so that
more scholastic titles and records went
to his credit, and the outdoor season of
1914 landed him among Americas fore
most swimmers.
In August he finished third in the $50
yard national championships in Septem-
ber he was second in the national one
mile swim, shattering the 1000-yard STAN
dard on the way.
After that victories came in quick sue
cession. Most of the district titles fell to
his lot in 1915, but 1t was only last De-
cember that he attained worlds record
speed by sprinting 100 yards in the ad-
mittedly slow 75-foot pool of the New York
A. c. in 54 4.5 seconds, the fastest time
ever made under the conditions.
Vollmer is ideally built for a swimmer
Standing feet and weighing trifie un-
der 10 pounds, broad of shoulder and
lean of hip. he shows the long. clean.
smooth muscles which spell speed and eff
