Victor of This Contest Then
Will Meet Miss Molla Blur

Title.
By PAUL PREP

A VERY large number of citizens and
4 nonvoters on this side of the At
lantic Ocean and elsewhere, who when
questioned closely on the subject admit
that their knowledge of the subject is
equal to a batting average of .oOs. have
the idea that as a sport tennis is fne
pastime for the clubmen of the Old Mems
Home.
These would-be sports who give one
the well-known once over when they are
told that you are going out to the club
to play tennis. and then ask you. with
out cracking a smile. why you haven't
taken Up knitting have misjuGged the
sport greatly.
Tennis isn't so strenuous as football
or baseball II it were, then young boys
young girls, married women and men
past thirtyfive years of age could not
take part. but would have to be content
to sit on the side lines. But the net
game gives one splendid workout and
has many physical advantages, In one
respect, at least. it is the same as base
BALL and football. That is the uncer-
tainty CT the game.
Tennis Is Uncertain
There is well-known saying in base.
ball that its any ones game until the
last man is out in the ninth" This
holds true In tennis also--the winner Is
undecided until the final point is regis
tered in the last set. Favorites in ten.
mis- have tf,eir off days and upsets are
frequent
Yesterday at the women's national
championship tournament. being staged
at the Philadelphia Cricket Club. these
surprises cropped forth every hour Miss
Eleanora Sears. of Boston. was expected
to dispose of Miss Clare Cassell rather
easily in the third round of the women:
singles, but the dope was given rude
shock when Miss Csssell won in straight
sets. 6-2, Ga.

Two surprises in one day are enoug
for any big tourney. The Old Bo,
must have figured that inasmuch as h
was having big day he should make
grand success of his job. The next an

and as they had played together many
times, were expected to triumph over
Miss Eleanor Goss and Miss Marion
Zinderstein Miss Znderstein and her
partner refused to acknowledge defeat.
and after playing wonderful tennis won
out 4--6 6--3. 6-S.
What Miss Sears Says
Miss Eleanor Sears. who played
prominent part in two of the three up
SETS was asked who she thought would
win in the sem-fnal round of the upper
bracket in the singles and final round
of the tourney. II am sorry. but I am
unable to tell you" she replied. You
can't tell what's going to happen in this
tourney. A girl may have wonderful
day and then she may have an OFF day.
Tennis Is too uncertain to pick a win
ner. Ask me when the match is over
and I'll tell you the winner"
Miss Sears's statement sums up the
remaining matches well. II would be
foolhardy to attempt to pick a winner
of the Miss Cassel and Miss Pollak
match. They met once before two years
ago. Miss Cassel was the winner. But
Miss Pollak has improved greatly since
then. Both use different style of play.
Miss Pollak has but one good stroke,
| the forearm stroke. She uses this all
the time. II her opponent drives one on
her left. instead of attempting a back
hand stroke she runs around the ball, so
as to hit It with her forearm drive.
| Miss Casse. on the other hand, has
control of several first-class strokes, es-
pecially her back hand. She has had
more experience than Miss Pollak, and
both are steady players. The winner
of this match will then meet Miss Goss
in the final round. This match starts
at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Then Miss
Bjurstedt the present titleholder, will
meet the winner for the title tomorrow
! afternoon.
Decide Championships Today
Two other titles are down for decision
this afternoon. Miss Dorothy Walker
and Miss katherine Porter. both of the
Philadelphia Cricket Club, will meet ir
the final round of the girls junior ma
tional trophy.

% NEGRO WOMEN DO
WHITE WINGS WORK

Louisville, KY, Sept. 7.-Handlina
the street broom with almost as much
confidence as they ever flicked dust
in the home of "missus,'' twenty
eight negro women have appeared as
official street cleaners in Louisville
They received 50 a day for nine and
a half hours and each cares for a ter
ritory eight blocks square.
They will earn uniforms, somethine
akin to the white wings worn by
men in pre-war days, as soon as they
prove their capability. On the streets
in the retail shopping district, pedes-
trians good naturedly urged them to
"be careful" All the women worked
diligently, grooming southern melo-
dies as they proceeded.
They came in many garbs, one wear
ing new suit of oversalls, a mans
hat and nailed shoes.
Superintendent Charles Oestreich
of the street cleaning department, said
the experiment, IL successful, will
solve an important labor shortage
problem.
