TWO AMERICAN
GIRLS MEET IN
FINALS AT NICE

NICE, France, March 12.-The finals
Of the Nice tennis tournament to-'
morrow will be an all-American af-
fair-one between the west and the
east. Miss Helen Wills Of California
will meet Miss Isabelle Lee Mumford
Of Boston.
In one-sded match today in
which Helen frequently experimental
with her racquet to improve certain
Of her strokes, the California girl
eliminated Nine. S. F. Lie of Hun
gary, 62, 6-2.
The outcome of the ,other semi
finals match between Miss Mumford
and Miss Eileen Bennett of England,
was something Of a surprise, for al
though the New England girl played
at Wimbledon, her game was not
considered strong enough to over
come Miss Bennett. Using slow
stroke, which apparently puzzled Miss
Bennett, Miss Mumford succeeded in
winning the match, As, GA, 60
Miss Wills and her English partner
in the mixed doubles, Charles S.
Kingley, reached the semi-finals of
this part Of the tournament by de-
ledIlnS Mile. BOufSeOlS and Mime.
Garon, 6-1, 6-3. The Anglo American
pair now will meet Miss Mitchell and
Charles f. Aeshlimann, and, if they
win, they will play Mile. Vlasto and
Henri Cochet in the finals.
The Nice tournament promoters are
not happy over the fact that teh two
American girls will oppose each other
in the finals. They had a shock
when Mile. Suzanne Lenglen an
nounced her intention not to play in
the tournament; and were further
disappointed when the German cham
pion, Frau Neppach, withdrew, and
now they look upon this as the last
blow. The promoters say that
finals match between Miss wills and
either Miss Joan Ridley of England
or Miss Bennett would have been a
much better drawing card.
Miss Wills announced today that
she will play at Cannes the next two
weeks; she will then leave, April 2,
for Italy, visiting Florence, where
she will play in exhibition matches
She is entered in the singles and
mixed doubles of the Cannes club
tournament next week. Her doubles
partner will be Henri Cochet.

STANDARD PLAYING FIELDS

In nc LEAGUES

Figures do not always tell the
truth in sport, but they sure hit the
nail on the head relative to the lively
ball.
In the middle of last season a
change was made in the ball used
by the majors 1t was toned down
considerably. Almost overnight the
pitchers seemed to regain much of
their old-time effectiveness.
At first the manufacturers scoffed
at the suggestion that the ball had
been changed, but finally admitted IT.
In going over some world series
data the other day, / came upon
some facts that best tell the story
of the lively ball and the home run
orgy that have prevailed in the
majors for the last three years.
In the world series games fror
1905 to 1922, 1S meetings between
the two big leagues, total of 80
home runs were made, an average
of about two a series
In the last three world series, 1928
1925, home runs became common. 81
being made. Thus in the last three
classics, nearly as many home runs
were made as in the 18 previous
events.

MATCH FOR MAY II.

The sheriff terminated three days of
futile efforts to put on the fiGlt
when he appeared and empnatically
asserted that would enforce the or
ders of Governor John w Martin and
not allow the fight to be held even
though way out Of the tangle was
found.
Almost on the heel of Sheriff
Chase's order the, Abbott Electrical
company of Miami entered salt
against Jess Baugh, the promotec,
for $500 to recover on electrical
fixtures installed in the stadium.
City officials and leading sports
men of Miami closeted themselves
with Billy Gibsin, manager Of Tunrey
and Stribling three times, during the
day. At the third conference Sheriff
Chase appeared and delivered MS
message. After that, the argument
concerned only the manner in which
ticket holders would be protected.
"Tiny" Parker, Miami agent who
handled the advance sale of tickets,
said that about $4,000 worth of
tickets had been sold up to the time
the fight was called off Steps ar.
being taken by city officials to handle
the matter of refund in such a man
ner as to assure the ticket holders
of full refund.
Neither Gibson or Stribling would
comment on tn eoffers to stage the
fight in New York, or Los Angeles,
which Tex Rickard and Joe Levy
made. Stribling goes north in a few
days for bout with Slattery in
Madison Square Garden. Gibson would
make no statement regarding the ia
ture plans of Tunney.

Caddies at the Napoleon (Ohio) Golf

they were taken home ready for the

Youths Condemned to
SecIusion in Boyhood

The boys of the solomon islands
after few years are taken from
their mothers and they are not seen
again by any woman until they reach
manhood. In the meantime they are
completely segregated and dire pun
ishment Is threatened to any women
who try to see them for any reason.
The origin and reason for this Gus
tom Is not satisfactorily explained.
During this period the boys are used
for Bonito fishing and when they
leave and return In the boats to that
part of the island which is given over
to them they are rellglously covered
with fiber mats, which completely
hide them for fear that some prying
female might try to spy ON them.
There Is really no danger, for the
women believe that the spirits will
see them and deal out some terrible
punishment. They are so fearful of
this fate that they all take to their
huts at the time of the departure and
return of the boys. This fishing Is
looked upon as sacred ceremony or
duty
When certain period has elapsed
there is n big feast and the boys are
led to the village with great cere-
mony and In pomp and state they are
revealed to the women. After this the
boys take up their residence In the
village in common with other mem
bers of the tribe. Exchange.

According to Doctor

Has the common watercress some
real value as food and a medicine

from investigations made recently by
DIR. s. Monckton Crompton Of London.
He has experimental with both anil
mails and humans.
The ages Of the human subjects
varied widely; In all cases they
gained In weight, improved In appe-
lite, their skin became much more
healthful, and constipation, II It ex-
listed, was entirely removed. Doctor
Monckt0n also studied the cress itself
to discover the chemical basis for It's
dietary virtues, and found that the
residue from the extracted juices OF
the plant gave. marked reactions with
all the test solutions for alkaloids. A
glucose present In the form OF potas-
SUM salt was first isolated. He found
also that watercress contains the

with salts Of potash and iron, in addi-
ton to considerable quantity OF 10

Curious Way to Pump

has constructed pump without cyl
inders or buckets that will lift a
thousand gallons Of water an hour
from depth Of 300 feet even when
worked by hand.
It consists simply Of spiral spring
belt. u grOoyed weight that turns
with the bottom loop Of the belt and
holds the belt in place, and driving
crank and pulley for turning the
belt. The cOll-llke cable Is carried
down to any depth by the grOoyed
weight. The water Is held In the
meshes Of the spiral spring by capil-
larry attraction as II Is drawn up, and
discharged only when the coils turn
over n the top. one authority has
called the improved pump "a me-
