BY HENRY L. FARRELL

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Aug. 13.
On the soft, slippery, rainsoaked
courts of the West Side Tennis club
here play in the women IS national
tennis championship was resumed
this morning.
Miss Helen Wills, the national
and Olympic champion who played
so well in the first round, makes her
appearance today against another
formidable opponent, Mrs. Helen
Pollock Falk. BY a peculiar work
ing of the draw, most of the good
players are i'll the upper half with
Miss Wills and her course through
the carly rounds was made much
more difficult than for some of her
rivals. The experience should put
her game on edge, however.
Miss Eleanor Goss, one of the
Olympic team who played brilliantly
in her first match, is to meet Mrs.
b. E. Cole in the second round.
Mrs. Zinderstein Jessup, another of
the Olympic players, meets Miss
Mary e. Case and Miss Mary X.
Browne, former champion, opposes
Miss Penelope Anderson.
The doubles competition, in which
the Olympic champions, Miss Wills
and Mrs. Hazel Hotchkiss Wight
man, will seek the national title, al
so starts today.
Miss Wills and Mrs. Wightman
have been picked as the favorites on
the game they played in Paris al
though they did not play their real
game in the final match. 1t was
during the final match that the
young California girl showed .her
first signs of temperament and
stormed around the courts.

BRIDGE
WILL SOON Be OPEN
FOR PUBLIC TRAVEL

Three months ago tomorrow work
was started building new concrete
memorial bridge across the Mesa
lonskee river at the lower end of
Silver street. Three weeks from to-
morrow that bridge will probably be
opened to travel.
The so-called Emerson bridge
across the Massachusetts river small
iron, one span structure sufficed be-
fore the day of the automobile but as
traffic has constantly increased on
the highways between Waterville
and Oakland and Waterville and Sid
ney it could be plainly seen that the
bridge was too light, too narrow, and
in every way inadequate to stand the
traffic. Also the bridge was at the
foot of fairly steep hill as well as
a junction Of roads on both sides.
Two automobiles could pass on the
bridge but the pedestrian who hap
pened to be on the bridge at the time
the automobiles did pass was in fear
of his life.
Several months ago Mayor Leon o.
was sent to the State Highway
commission. Mayor Tebbetts and
City Engineer Eugene w. Crawford
with highway officials and the out
come was that the Highway commits
sion agreed that the bridge would be
built and also agreed that the State
should furnish a substantial share of
the cost providing Waterville would
bear it's part of the expense.
1t was decided to build the bridge
and plans were drawn up by the
State Highway commission engineers.
The cost Of the bridge was set at
about $3.50 Notice that bids would
be received were sent out and the
contract was awarded to Green and
Wilson, q Waterville contracting
firm.
The old bridge was closed to travel
about June 10 and work started i'm
mediately tearing up the bridge and
making ready for the pouring of the
concrete abutments.
The plans for tho new bridge pro-
vided for a 80 foot roadway with a
five foot sidewalk on the upriver side
The type is a concrete single span
arch structure. At the present time
the abutments and arch are complet-
ed and the workmen are now pouring
the concrete guard rails which are
three feet nine inchs high Of very
attractive pattern.
To build the abutment on the west
side of the river. Golfer dams were
used and the pouring timed so that
the river was flowing the least when
the concrete was poured into the
molds. The 80 foot roadway gives
plenty Of chance for cars to pass
without crowding. In fact three cars
could pass abreast without crowd
ing.
The roadway Is built in such
way that the guard rail will swing
down river so as to give the autos

national character today when
General Pershing issued personal or
ders directing troops in the Wash

posts at the time the air squadron
circles over the city and that suit
able military honors be paid.
Many cities have brought pressure
to have the flight resumed so that
honors could be paid as the aviators
completed the flight to Seattle, but
so as not to protract the strain upon
fiiers or machines, direct route west

President Coolidge tonight planned
to be at Boiling Field when the fliers

ious to witness their arrival IL time
permits. In any event, Secretary
Weeks. other cabinet officers and
high officials are scheduled to meet
the squadron.
A national salute Of 4S guns. the
highest honors paid in the American
military service. will be roared out
by field guns as the fiiers separate
from the escorting squadron and
swing by overhead, bound for Ar
1ington National Cemetery to pay
tribute at the tomb of Americas I'm
known Hero before they pass on to
their landing at Boiling Field.
The national salute will be re-
peated by the guns at Fort Myer,
adjoining the cemetery, as the fiiers
reach that point, and It will be amid
the thunder of cannon that they let
fall upon the tomb the flowers they
will bring with them from New
York.
In accordance with the desires OF
the fliers the ceremonies of recep-
ton after they set foot on land at
Boiling Field will not be protracted
nor calculated to delay the resump-
ton Of the westward flight.
After greetings on the field the
aviators will go to luncheon with
their comrades of the air: service
Later in the day they Will call on
Secretary Weeks.
General Pershing had hoped to be
present on their arrival to greet
them, but an unavoidable engage

doing SO.
