KUMAGAE TO MAKE
 YANKEE FAREWELL

In addition to the vast interest that naturally attaches to the challenge round for the Davis Cup, in which the United States and Japan will meet, starting tomorrow, there is the ad- ditiona1 sentimental interest in the fact that the series will mark the fare we'll to metropolitan tennis of Ichiya Kumagee, who has been one of the principal ornaments of the game in this country in the last five years. Kumagee has been recalled to Japan by his firm, Mitsul & Co.,, and expects to leave New York about Oct 1. The runor is going the rounds of tennis circles, also that "Ichy' as he is pop u1arly known, will take unto himself a bride when he returns to his native country.
 Ever since he first came to this country in 1916, with an enviable ten- his record acquired in the Philippines and Japan, Kumagee has been one of the most popular performers on American courts. So greatly has he been liked for his engaging personal ity, as we'll as for his skill in tennis, that the demand for his appearance has often exceeded even what his vast good nature was able to supply. He has always been a generous victor and a, sportsmanlike loser and his game has always ranked him among the leading players in the country.

NEW BRIDGE
 LEAGUE TO BE
 FORMED SOON

A club which will include a number of the most active and ener- getic women of the city, will be formed very soon under the direction of Mrs. Willard M. Sprague of Brew ster street. The first meeting of this group will be held in the sun par1or Of the Sratfield hotel on Thursday, September Sth.
 The name of the organization will be the Women's Bridge League and admittance to the first meeting can be obtained by invitation only. The main purpose of the club is to show the public how unjust is the popular opinion that women play bridge just for the mere social sake.
 Several months ago similar league was formed in New York City and men were invited to attend the meet ings and games. The Sterner sex re- belled and voiced the opinion that they were tired of the idea of having to play bridge with women who paid no attention to the game but simply to discuss hats and gowns and the latest news" And so the local club will show these men and all others that there sre some women in this world who "sft in'' not to gossip about some trivial thing but to play bridge.
 The rules and regulations govern ing the members and the games will be very strict. At the first meeting membership blanks will be given to the guests and they may fill them out if they desire after they have heard all the details regarding the new O

VISITORS DAY AT
 ORPHAN ASYLUM

The Bridgeport Hebrew Orphan Asylum is planning to hold a visitors day to be held on Labor Day at the home of the institution on Lafayette street, in connection with the drive for associate members which is about to be instituted.
 The institution finds that the need for it's aid has grown more rapidly than has the ability of the institu- tion to take care of the const ant de- mands that are being made for it's assistance and it has therefore de- termined to enlarge the scope of it's body of associate members who will be allowed to participate to some ex- tent in the affairs of the institution. Under the plans which are now be- ing formulated, the associate mem bers will be allowed to elect mem bers of the Advisory Council which will have general supervision.
 Up to the present time the institu- financially and has been able to do splendid work At present 27 chil- dren are being provided for at the home and assistance is being given bers are particularly. anxious to have activities of the institution.
 Labor Day has been set aside for this purpose and a committee will be on hand to welcome all visitors and show them the home so that all proST ective associate members may become acquainted with the institu- tion and the work which 1t is doing.
