New Fruit for Breakfast.
From the Baltimore Sun.


The next new fruit to appear in
American markets will probably be
the durian. 1t is very popular in the
East Indies and the Philippines and
the vogue of round world tours
has made it known to many Amer
leans. 1t can be grown in the West
Indies and should win widespread ia
vor here because it is so delicious
and yet so unlike other fruits. The
only drawback about it is its
abominable smell.
The durian is about the size of a big
cocoanut. 1t has hard husk and
inside are five oval cells filled with d
cream-colored pulp. The flavor OF
this pulp is so different from that of
other fruits it is difficult to describe.
y. r. Wallace, the naturalist, says
that it is like rich cuStard which has
been literally dosed with almond eN-
tract, but that there are also watts
of flavor which call to mind cream
cheese, onion sauce, brown sherry and
other incongruitieS"
A more recent experimenter re-
marks that 'it tastes like d banana
beaten up with cream and dash OF
Chocolate.'

selves show rather that the politi-
clans, not the lighter entertainment
are most interesting.
The President gets" his hearers
with a natural Yankee tang that
seems to take with listeners from one
end of the country to the other. John
w. Davis has an especially well
adapted radio voice, the audience ad-
vises, and his running mate, Bryan,
also gets his stuff over effectively.
Charles Dawes offers the peculiar
delivery of the radio campaign. His
quick, snappy, run-together express
sion gives rather a queer twist
through the head phones. There was
scarcely enough attention paid to ra-
dio effects by the candidate in his
first address, but changes are ex-
pected.
Count on In Toilette.
Only Senator La Toilette and Sem
ator Wheeler remain to make the ac-
quaintance of the big air audience.
The senior Wisconsin Senator is an
orator of ability who is counted on
to adapt himself to radio without
trouble.
With all the candidates taking
their turns at microphones, 1t won't
be long before the 100000 radio
sets in the country will have become
accustomed to politics. They are new
political instruments of this cam
paign-already tried and proved 'ef-
fective in carrying personal messages
from the candidate to the voter on
scale hitherto impossible.

Should the accident occur then In

HELEN WILLS.PLAYS
IN FINAL TOMORROW

By the Associated Press
WIMBLEDON, England, July g.
Helen Wills has earned the right to
enter the final of the great Wimble-
don tournament, which formerly de-
cided the lawn tennis championships
of the world. but she fails to find Su-
zanne Lenglen waiting her, as was
expected. the French star having
withdrawn because of illness. In
stead the American champion tomor-
row will face Miss kathleen Mckane,
ranking British woman, in the fight
for supreme honors.
Miss Wills won her way to the COW
eted position by series of victories
over some of England's leading play
crs, the last one Mrs. Phyllis Sat
terthwaite, whom she defeated yes
terday in straight sets and without
great difficulty at GO. 6-l.
The American girl is showing
greatly improved form over that dis
played on her first appearance here
matches, and is expected to give a
better account of herself against Miss
Mckane than on the former occasion,
when the British star triumphed at
6-2. g..
Some of the newspaper experts to-
day say that Miss Mckane is the
popular favorite for the champion
displayed by the American girl sui;-
gest that they more than doubt the
accuracy of the popular choice. They
declare Miss Mckane will have to do
very we'll indeed to come through on
top tomorrow.

COACH LEAVES TECH
AFTER BRIGHT REIGN

Changes in the high school athletic
directing ranks are being made
rapidly these days. Close upon the
announcement of the appointment of
c. Harris White, who had been in
charge of activities at Central to
the position of general athletic
director of the high school system,
comes that of the resignation of
Wilbur NJ. Apple. for the past six
years head of Techs physical educa-
tion department.
Apple, a University of Michigan
graduate. assumed charge at Tech in
February, 1918. and developed d
number of successful teams. They
won basket ball championships in
1920 and 1921, Il track championship
in 1918 and foot ball championship
in 1920.
Apple was the first Tech coach to
turn out two title winning combina
tions in school year, when the
Manual Trainers garnered gridlron
and basket ball laurels in 1920-21.
His foot ball teams We're especially
strong. During his tenure of office
Tech eleven never was defeated by
one of Western, Eastern or Business.
and lost only twice to the sturdy
Central combinations.
Apple probably will retire from
physical education work altogether,
but may remain in Washington in
some business enterprise. His sue
cessor at Tech is not likely to be
appointed until late in September

HAGEN'S fine FINISH
WINS SECOND PLACE

BY the Associates Press
LA BOULIE, France, July 3.-Out-
playing a fine international field, in
cluding the pick of French and
American professional stars, Cyril
Toliey, former British amateur title
holder, sprang a sensation by captur-
ing the French open championship
with the brilliant score of 29O for
the 72-hole test over the difficult La
Boulie course.
Playing in rainstorm, the British
crack conquered his professional
rivals. finishing three strokes ahead
of Walter Hagen, the American pro-
fesSional and newly crowned British
open champion, whose remarkable SO
on the last round was not able to
overcome Tolley's lead.
Hagen'S spectacular bid to capture
two open crowns in row contrast
ed with the dehacle of his country
man, Gene Sarazen. who, after lead
ing the field in the first days play
with a score of 144, collapsed in the
third round. taking Ss. which in.
cluded a fatal 9 for the first hole, and
finishing fourteenth with 307.
Hagen tossed away his chance for
yictory on the outward nine holes
yesterday morning, taking 40 to the
turn, including 6s at the first, fourth
and seventh holes.
The Americans final round, typical
of his fighting finishes. was l under
par and the best of the tournam ent.
Hagen's score was most remarkable,
considering the conditions under
which it was made.
Aubrey Boomer, the 1928 open
champion, finished fourth. with 297,
two strokes behind his countryman
LAafitte.

The course of the Burning Tree
Club in such a tournament, it is felt,
would be given a thorough test as
to its championship possibilities, and
the proposed event would give to
Washington it's first big amateur
tournament.
A decade ago Walter j. Travis and
Jerome D. Travers played in the Co
lumbia tourney, but no first-class
amateurs, with the exception of D.
Clarke Corkran, B. Warren Corkran
and Frank w. Dyer, have competed
here in several years.

golf team will be busy the coming
week end. On Friday, July IL. the
team will go over to Chevy Chase to
play the team of that club, while on
Sunday, July 13, the team will play at
will conclude the engagements of the
Washington team until September.
Holing out all his puts and play

Diegel, Friendship professional, set a
new mark of 65 for the course of the
Chevy Chase Club in a four-ball
match yesterday with Maj. A. e.

and par has been equaled by Robert

done by an amateur.

EIGHT NETMEN LEFT
IN WESTERN SINGLES

By the Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July Eight
survivors OF mems singles play in
the western tennis championships
went into the round before the semi
final here today, with world champion
William T. Tilden still a top-heavy
favorite.
The eight survivors, Gerald Patter-
son and r. L. Schlesinger of Aus
tralia, Louis kuhler, St Louis; B. l.
c. Norton, South Africa: George Lott,
Chicago; A. C. Chaplin, jr., Hyannis.
Mass; John Hennessey, Indianapolis,
and Tilden, were all seeded in the
draw and have vindicated the COM
mittee's Judgment by sweeping
through a field of sixty-four entrants.
With Tilden meeting Lott and
Schlesinger playing Chaplin in one
bracket and the other calling for
kuhler and Hennessey and Norton,
today'S program should satisfy even
the most discriminating tennis fan.
The dope. which through the early
stages of the tourney has been
wholly reliably reported, points to
victories for Tilden, Chaplin. Patter-
son and Norton in todays play. This
would bring together in one semi
nnal match Tilden and Chaplin, who
has chased the champion through two
nTe-Set matches this season. The
other, between Patterson and Norton,
would be of international interest
with the winner extremely hard to
pick.
The third round of mems doubles
also was scheduled for today, and
play in the women's, boys and Jun
lors' tournament was to continue.
Yesterdays winners in the mems
singles play chalked up straieht-set
victories with one exception. Chaplin

vem of Chicago, though winning,

er, who won the District title last
champion in straight sets. 6-4, 6-4.
Graves was opposed to Clarence
Charest. victor in the 1922 District

SIX RACES TO OPEN
HAWTHORNE COURSE

CHICAGO, July Six well-flled
races, including the $4,000 inaugural
handicap, made up today's program
opening the fifty-two-day season at
the Hawthorne track here.
The meeting, undertaken by the
Chicago Business Mems Racing AS
sociation, is pronounced the most
ambitious effort to establish per-
manent racing in Chicago since its
revival four years ago. Facilities
and equipment of the track have
been augmented, and stars of the
turf from the far west are entered
to take issue with headliners from
Kentucky, the east and Canada.
The most celebrated arrival yes
terday was Black Gold, Kentucky
Derby winner, which will run in the
Chicago Derby July II.
More than 500 thoroughbreds are
stabbed at the track.
The states attorney has stated he
would enforce the stringent Illinois
law against race track betting, but
it recently was held in test case
that oral wagering. similar to that
at New York and Louisiana tracks,
was legal in Illinois.
