Chefalo to Take Part in
Dare Devils CONGRESS-

Though the entries for the first
worlds congress of dare devils closed
oincialiy the day before, post entry
was accepted by the committee yester-
day from Nick Oh falo. the Chelsea.
Mass, loop the loop-leap the gap man,
upon telephone advice from him that
ne could get his apparatus set up in
Madison Square Garden in time for
the opening trials on Monday evening.
Chefalo decided 20 take a crack at
the championship despite the fact that
another loop the loop-leap the gap star
alreadp is entered in the person of
Oscar " Babcock, pioneer in the line.
Chefalo's entry means that there will
be duplicate efforts in two lines, for
a pair of high divers already arranged
to compete. They are Speedy, the
veteran, and Charles A. Bigney, of Bos-
ton. who first sprang into national
prominence by leaping into the Coney
Island surf from the top Of the old
Dreamland chutes.

Tennis Players TO Equip
Courts for Men in Serpice

only woman professional tennis player
in this country, in discussing the girls
championship tournament the other
day said:
~ strongly advocate it. Children
should begin to learn tennis when they
are ten or twelve years old. For lit
tie ones, racquets should weigh about
eleven ounces; for the bigger young
sters--ten to twelve years-it is best
to use racquet Of about twelve or
thirteen ounces. No girl should play
with a racquet weighing more than
thirteen and half ounces"
In summing up the advantages of the
game for girls, Mrs. Doeg makes the
following points:
81. 1t is a good, active exercise, but
not too strenuous.
"a. It teaches one to be quick and
'3. 1t develops plenty of strength and
muscle.
''4. It reduces the weight one is in
clined to be too heavy and makes the fis-
ure graceful.
"5. 1t teaches quick thinking because ono
must always be on the alert to find an
adversary's weakness and place the shots
accordingly.
"6. 1t teaches self-control and fne
standards of sp0rtsmanship.''
1t is apparent that the world war,
greatest players on the courts, is not
going to have any very disastrous eff
fects on the lawn tennis team of Yale
University this season. Every men,
ber of the squad is under the draft
age, Of course, else he would be fol-
lowing the example of the great ma
jority of Yale students and be fighting
for liberty overseas.
But, in spite Of their youth, the Yale
players are far above the average in
court skill and technique and they are
regarded as probable winners of
the intercollegiate championships in
singles, doubles and team play this
year. There are forty youths who are
candidates for the varsity team, and
the chief difficulty has been IN making
terial. 1t is regarded as remarkable,
in view of the small number of students
left at New Haven, that so many
strong players have been developed.
Charles "Chuck" Garland, of Pitts
burgh, junior champion Of the United
States, is the "first string" man on the
team, and will probably be formida-
BILE candidate for the Individual inter
collegiate championship title.
Garland has proved in many Cruel
ling matches throughout the country
that he is among the craftiest of the
younger players. His game is sound in
every department. and, while he does
not affect the spectacular style shown
by the California school, he is An
ished court tactician.
Garland is even a better doubles
player than singles performer. Last
season he won the national clay court
title, the Great Lakes and Western
championships in the doubles.
Captain Frank Hopkins has led the
Yale team for the last two years and
is rated the No. man, while Kenneth
Simpson, No. 3, won the Montana state
title last year. Lascelles Maxwell
Banks, No. 4, was the freshman cham
pion at Yale last year.

Appeal to Send Supplies
Overseas Sure to Bring
Generous Response
By Fred Hawthorne

If we know the temper Of the lawn
tennis players of this country, and sew
eral years of intimate association with
them leads US to believe we do, the
appeal made yesterday by Julian S.
Myrick, vice-president of the United
States National Lawn Tennis Associa-
tion. will not Fall upon deaf ears. The
response will undoubtedly be generous
and lawn tennis will again prove that
patriotism is distinguishing charac-
teristic of those who play the game.
Asking for the cooperation of the
players of the country in sending over
seas adequate equipment for the men
In service. Mr.. Myrick said yesterday:
This call to give men in the service
chance to enjoy tennis puts it up to
us to see that they get what they want.
1t is not call to do your bit, but to do
our best. The appeal of the physical
directors shows larger need for sup
plies-which the men want at once.
You will help most if you help now"
According to reports made by the
ment Commission on Training Camp
Activities, supplies for about four hun
dred courts are needed. One hundred
courts have already been built at the
various camps in this country and four
times that many are now in process Of
construction 1t Is also planned to
build eighty courts In France and send
over the necessary equipment.
This is being done through the Y. M.
C. A., which has accomplished notable
things already overseas in promoting
the health end happiness of the men
who are fighting liberty's struggle
against the Hun.
Letters have been sent to clubs and
associations Of the country asking
them to send netsr racquets and balls.
These need not be new, but it is fig
ured that every club must have sew
eral nets in serviceable condition, as
we'll as many racquets and balls. When
such supplies have been collected it
is suggested that they be shipped only
on instructions from Paul B. Williams,
field secretary, of 20 Broad Street,
New York City.

Stevens Wins
Easy Victory
Over N.Y.U.

New York University's baseball
team met defeat at the hands of the
Stevens Institute nine yesterday at
Hoboken by the score Of to 2. The
game, though rather loosely played,
was exciting throughout and was wit
messed by large crowd.
The Stevens men took the lead in the
first inning when they scored one run on
two singles and sacrifice fly. They
gradually added to this lead until their
total amounted to seven. The Violet,
in the meantime, was unable to do a
thing with Carlson's delivery and failed
to get a runner across the plate until
after two were out in the ninth inning.
The New Workers. belated rally came
as surprise. Up to that time Carlson
had the visitors eating out of his hand
and had allowed only one man to get as
far as second base. He started the last
frame by tanning Dratfen. Sulzer went
out on a grounder to short. Tetelman
then singled between short and third.
With the count three and two, Klaess
met the ball on the trademark and
sent it whizzing past Daley to deep
left for clean home run, scoring
Tetelman ahead of him. Egan ended
the game with an infield out.
The feature of the contest was Carl
so..'s fine pitching. Up to the unex-
pected rally in the last frame he had
the New York collegians at his mercy.
Backed by errorless support, he sent
the Violet men back to the bench in
clock-like fashion.
He struck out five men, three of them
in the eighth inning, when Conello,
Browley and Loew famed in succession
without even so much as connecting
for foul tip.
Captain Drew and Daley starred for
the home team, while Captain Tetel-
man and Klaess played best for the
visitors.

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash it
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much allali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful. Just plain mulsifed cocoanut
oil (Which is pure and entirely grease
1ess), is much better than the most ex-
pensive soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't pos
sibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily,
and removes every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly and it leaves
it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get ,nulsihed cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. ItEis very cheap,
and few ounces is fenough to last
everyone in the family for months.

MUNITION

British Factories May Be Forced to

Their Threats
Of Strike

United Press Leased Wire Service. ]
LONDON, July 24.-In an effort to
reach an amicable agreement with mu-
milton workers who are threaening to
strike, conferences will be held to-
morrow between representatives OF
the government and the unions, which
have named advisory committees. Ii
these efforts fail, it was declared to-
day, there will be more than 100, 1000
striking before the end of this week,
with a possibility that this number
will reach 100000 next week.
Already 10000 have left their work
at Coventry and 5000 at Leicester. To-
day 10000 men and 5000 women are
scheduled to walk out at Birmingham.
At Lincoln thousands were scheduled
to strike. Manchester workmen are
expected to go out tomorrow. There
has been no action yet at Glasgow.
Morning newspapers are urging
workmen against haste, pointing out
the danger of such step. The allies.
they declare, will suffer greatly if the
strike is permitted to be called.

later to find out the amount OF
wheat that will be sown and the seed
that is needed or seed for sale, On
account of the increased acreage ex-
pected, a considerable demand for
seed is predicted A substantial ad-
vance over milling price will be al
lowed for first-class seed. Those
farmers having the best grade seed
would probably do well to hold their
crop until they know whether or
not it will be needed for seed pur-
pose.
Land from which corn is removed
for silage is quickly and easily pre-
pared for wheat, if it is free from
weeds. If you have not silo, why
not build one and put your corn
where it will make a maximum OF
feed; then your corn stubble will be
ready to sow wheat on this fall.
This fits in with the government
suggestion that wheat be sown ON
land that would otherwise be sown
to oats, rather than reduce the acre
age of corn.
The clover from which the grass
hoppers have been caught certainly
looks good and seems to be filling
nicely. Some fields of clover which
have had no attention are badly In
tested with grasshoppers, and no
seed will be raised on them.
The grasshop2ers in places are
numerous enough to kill young clo-
yer and keep the pastures down.
Why not catch the grasshoppers with
hopper dozer or poison them!
