MISS WILLS EXPECTED
TO SHOW REAL SKILL

By the Associated Press.
WIMBLEDON, England, June "a
Much of the interest of the gallery in
the Wimbledon lawn tennis cham
pionships shifted today from the
center court to No. 1, where the first
matches were scheduled in the wom
ems singles. Susanne Lengien, world
champion, and Helen Wills, Ameri-
can tftleholder. were both on the bill,
and everybody was eager to see
whether the former had lost anything
of her past prowess and whether the
latter could retrieve the misfortunes
of her early play here.
1t was the general expectation be-
forehand that the California miss
would prove to have overcome the
handicap Of climate. unaccuStomed
courts and heavy balls to which her
recent defeat by Mrs Covell was
largely attributed. Her opponent
today was Miss Lillian Scharman.
Three matches were to be decided
on the No. j court before the two
American girls appe ared. namely be-
tween Randolph Lycett and NJ Bay
ley, Jean Borotra and Max WooSnam
and Mile. Lengien and Miss Ellis.
Mile. Lenglen broadcast little
talk over the rdQlO last evening re-
garding the Wimbledon tournament.
While saying she did not propose to
give any tips. she added as regards
herself: Il am feeling very we'll
again, and if ! lose it won't be be-
cause l feel ill.,"
The critics in the morning news
papers, dealing with yesterdays play,
are impressed by the game displayed
by Vincent Richards youthful Amer
ican internationalist. They recog-
nize that A E. Park, whom Richards
defeated in three straight sets with

One thing is certain-he will have
to use his hands good and plenty,
will Harry, when he meets Firpo.
The writer was utterly surprised at
the excellent showing made in New
ark last night by Charley Winert
against Ad Stone. If Charley had
taken care of himself he would have
been a champion undoubtedly. As 1t
is, he is the most finished boxer of
his day.
Against Stone the Adonis showed
the excellent results of the months of
training in which he has been in
dulging. Ad never knew there were
SO many boxing gloves as landed
upon him in several rounds He
was outboxed about as completely as
one good was even outboxed by an
other good man
Charley sent in his long left and
right hooks, stepping in and out,
avoiding return blows with utmost
skill. And all this was done in the
face of a short arm body attack most
difficult to handle.
BY the time the twelve rounds end
ed Charley was getting tired. 1t is
d good thing for him the battle did
not go fifteen frames. AS it was he
captured all but three rounds in con-

Argentine Accepts Terms.

NEW YORK, June 24.-Luis Angel
F'irpo, Argentine heavyweight, has
accepted the final terms of Tex
Rickard, promoter of a fifteen-round
bout between FIrpo and Harry Wills.
tract Rickard ca.bled the Argentine
negotiations which have been pending
for two months.
Rickard said he would announce
the exact time and place after the
Democratic convention.
Firpo acceded to Richards final
terms after the promoter had agreed
to a few minor changes in the con-
tract. Rickard cabled the Argentine
asking when he would leave Buenos
Aires for New York.
Rickard also announced that moth
ing definite would be done about the
proposed match between the winner
OF this bout and Jack Dempsey until
after the Firpo Wills battle. This
statement is interpreted as an in
dication that Rickard has abandoned ID
his plans to use Dempsey in title
match during the present outdoor

Had Yale not been remarkably

Yale adherents before the race, name
ly a defeat after all plans had been
made to go to the Olympics, would
have become a reality.
The points at which Yale proved su
perior can be studied out by a careful
analysis of Fridays three races. In
each case, the Harvard crew out
weighed and was slightly more pow
erful than the Yale boatload. But
while the differences in stroke were
nothing like as marked as they were
last year, when Leader first flashed

the Yale blades went into the water

general rythm. of equal power
throughout was better applied by
Yale.
Both teams showed the characteris-
tics of this Leader stroke of a stead
Ter application of power, rather than
yiciOusneSs of catch or finish. And
the blades of both crews were in the
air a shorter time But here Yale
had little advantage through
greater familiarity with the stroke

Home Nursing
Rhenmatic "Misery''

HNHE old man who had rheumatism
 went grooming up to bed, declar-
 that his bones creaked and that so far as he was concerned rheumatism was the most pesky disease in the world and he didn't care, how soon everybody knew it.
 His wife, weary and inarticulate. made little clucking sound to indicate sympathy and went on with her knit ting.
 That night her husband had dined heartily on fried pork and dOughnuts, and pancakes and syrup, and having gulped down pint of very sweet cof- fee he had subsided with groans for q restless hour by the fire, nursing his misery" as he called the rheumatism.
 In the first place he had both defec- tive and unhealthy tonsils.
 Declaring the doctors discovery of these bodily defects to be both foolish and faddy," since the pain he suffered was in his joints and not in his teeth or his tOnsils, the old man had given up "doctoring," as he called it.
 He was resigned to his rheumatism and he grew more bent and gnayled every day.
 He drank scarcely any water, when berries were in season he ate them all day long, and he plastered his food with sugar, which is the worst thing a rheu- matic person can do.
 Doctors will usually warn a rheu- matic person against eating sugar, ber- rics, -ed meat and acid fruits and vege- 1 tables.
 The diet they do recommend includes mutton and chicken broth and beef tea in small quantities, raw clans, oysters, boiled fresh fish, chickens and boiled bacon, corn or brown bread, green vegetables, toast, starchy gruels and arrowroot, and quantities of milk and water.
 Most sufferers from rheumatism don't drink half as much water as they need.
 And almost invariably they use far too much sugar.
 Saccharine should be used to sweeten food instead of sugar when one is rheu- matic.
 Strawberries and all acids should be avoided as much as possible.
 Warmth is essential to comfort, es- pecially if the rheumatism is in the joints of the feet or knees, and often gentle rubbing with oil of wintergreen and the application of soft flannel bandages will relieve the twinges of pain.
 The criticism of non-believers not withstanding, tonsils and teeth do have great deal to do with rheumatism.
 If you are a chronic sufferer from rheumatism, have your throat and mouth examined and you may be sur ptised at the effect these remote re- gions have upon ones painful feet and knees
