HELEN WILLS TO
PLAY IN PARIS

Paris. April 3-(AP)-Helen Wills
is expected to arrive in Paris tomor-
row afternoon, and she has accepted
an invitation to play an exhibition
match on Monday afternoon, at the
same time that the finals of a cover
ed courts tournaments will be con-
tested at the tennis club of Paris.
The American champion probably
will be paired with Jean Borotra for
this match against Jean Coulteas and
Madame Golding. 1t Is understood
here that this will be the first time
Miss Wills has ever played tennis on
a wooden surface, and experts arc
divided regarding the probable effect
on her game. Some are of the opin-
ion that the fast wood surface will
add to the effectiveness of her strong
forehand shots, while others believe
she will commit many errors on ac-
count of the unaccustomed lighting
effects.

KAY JAY
SPORT
CHAT

The veterans may have the lime
light in athletics in this State q few
years ago but the opening baseball
clashes this year and the coming
outdoor track season will show
Maine to be endowed with the most
promising crop of young athletes to
parade their wares in this State for
several years.
The more sensational athletes of
the State seem to be in the prep
school class instead of the colleges
this year. OF these athletes Hebron
seems to have at least her share. In
hockey it was Captain jeremiah, con-
sidered by critics as one of the best
lcemen to ever don a skate for q
prep school in this State. In basket
ball Henry Wass, a strict Maine
product kept the Big Green In the
running. In baseball 1t will be Danny
McFayden and Elmer Rising. Rising
needs no introduction to Maine fans,
having played with the more or less
successful Easterns for several sea-
sons after the high school season.
Rising has the stuff and knows how
to use it and with an exceptionally
old head telling a young arm what
to do Rising is to be considered
about as good as any college pitcher
in the State.
The second baseball sensation
promised at Hebron is the bespect-
acled Daniel McFayden. McFayden
is a Somerville boy, sensational
strikeout artist when going right and
the star of one of the best outfits in
New England while in high school.
This pair of hurting stars should
land Hebron in first place with any
backing at all
Coburn Classical Institute will al
so have star who will bear watch
ing but he is in another branch of
sport. Charlie Major generally con-
ceded to be too good for any OF the
high jumpers in the State and a pole
vaulter of no mean ability will keep
the Waterville school on the athletic
map.
Kent's Hill will have the husky
Rollo Finn to shoulder the mound
work. The former Westbrook star
will be a great aid to the Hilltoppers
and many fans like his chances Of
leading the team to a prep school
bunting. With this galaxy of stars
and several others of almost equal
ability the sporting game seems due
for a boost in the Pine Tree State
this year.

Inquiry revealed that there Is an
unwritten law at the state prison that
no person who has once been commit

he has already done SO. none would

It was further stated, with author
ity, that at all executions, not this one
alone, careful inquiry was made as
to the identity of all persons unknown
to the prison officials who may have
been designated under the law to be

1t was stated that before the three
persons, whom Chapman may have
invited to attend his execution are
admitted their history will be known
and If objection is found to any one
of these named he will be refused the
privilege of attending the execution.
If Chapman gives the prison admin
istration ample time, it was stated
further, any person objected to may

condemned man may name some one

NEGROES COMING NORTH
Migration From South During the Past Few Years Has Been Some- thing Enormous.

New York, Oct. 2c UP - The migration of negroes from the south has been so great during the past few years, the board of mis- sionary cooperation of the Northern Baptist convention announced to- day, that there are at the present time more negro than white Bap- lists in both New York and Chi cago. The increase has been so great in Detroit that whereas there were only five negro Baptist churches there In 1917 there are now 60.
 The northern influx of negroes and the great increase throughout the country of wide unchurched suburban belts were named as two outstanding problems to be met by a special s1,00o,OOO fund to be raised next year by Northern Bap- lists for church building.
 John D. Rockefeller, jr., 1t was announced, has pledged s250, 900 outright and another S50,000 con- tingent upon other contributions, this money to be applied 10 the present years budget. For the year beginning May 1, 1927, the budget has been fixed at s6,f35, 900.
