HELEN WILLS HAS
 FORMIDABLE RIVAL
Elizabeth Ryan Threatens Reign
 Of Her California Sister

.Seabright, N. J., Aug. Rl- Elizabeth Ryan of Santa Monica, who gave up a long and futile at tempt to dethrone Suzanne Lenglen as queen of European tennis last year, has returned with formidable racquet to threaten the American reign of her sister Californian, Helen Wills.
 The Pacific Coast contender, who will have no outstanding foreign ri- vals to block her path in the na- tional championship this year, has come through strong field in the Seabright invitation tournament to give the national title holder her greatest test since the latter return ed to the court almost two weeks ago.
 Their match in the final round to- day brought together the survivors of tournament in which seven members of Americas first ten were entered. Neither Miss Wills nor Miss Ryan has lost set, although both were seriously pressed yesterday the former to eliminate Eleanor Goss of New York, ranking No. 5 player, by 7-5, GA and the latter 10 defeat Mrs. Molla B. Mallory, who ranks No. 3, by 6-4, 6-2.
 The champion apparently has re- covered completely from the effects of an operation for appendicitis two mnoths ago in France, but her play thus far has not been as brilliantly impressive as that of Miss Ryan. The latter, who defeated Miss Wills here year ago in the only match they have ever played, has been strok- ing the ball with great pace, while her strong service and sure volley- ing have been powerful attacking weapons.
 In the mems singles final, also scheduled today, Vincent Richards of Yonkers. N. T., was pitted against Manuel Alonzo of Spain. Richards, who had been battering down all opposition with a brilliant net attack, won his way to the clos ing round yesterday by vanquishing Francis T. Hunter of New York, 2-G, 6-2, 6-3, while Alonzo put out Takeiichi Harada, the Japanese con queror of William M Johnston, 6-2, 6-4
 The doubles finals will be played tomorrow with Richards and R. Norris Williams, national champions, opposing William M. Johnston and Edward G. Chandler of California. Tn the womens competitions, Mrs. Molla Mallory and Katherine Porter will oppose Miss Ryan and Miss GOSS

BIRRITTS VS. CHESHIRE
Loctl Baseball Club to Meet Strong Reformatory Team in That Town Sunday

The Burritt A. c. baseball team will stack up against the Cheshire Reformatory team in that town Sun day. The locals will be playing a strong outfit this year as the Cheshire crew has taken six straight wins this season and have been cleaning up some of the fastest teams available. The Burritts will attempt to stop this winning streak.
 The Burritt batters will have to step on it because only last Satur- day Cook. the Cheshire box ace, pitched a no-hit, no-run game. The locals will have their full strength with Captain Budnick back in the lineup. Salak, recently of the Ori- oles, will be depended on by Man ager Lasky to keep the reformatory team in check and Zaiko will do the receiving.
 The Burritt management has ar ranged for bus to leave the club rooms at l o'clock sharp. Anyone wishing to accompany the team can do so by being on time. The Burritts will practice tonight at 6:30 o'clock at St. Mary's field, and all members are urged to be on hand.

Again l started for mo room, but I was not 10 have that hour before I should dress for dinner without an- other interruption.
 Jerry Hathaway could not resist calling me up and telling me that he had gotten himself invited to so with our party.
 l was sorry I answered the tele- phone as heard the triumphant note in his voice - I really didn't want him to go-I wanted to make my decision without him.
 "Is that you, Judy?"
 "Yes,' I answered shortly.
 You don't act very glad to hear my voice."
 'I am not"
 Then l presume that Miss Mere dith has told you that she invited me to the party this evening""
 "She told me, Jerry. that you had managed by saying I had a previous engagement with you to get yourself invit ed. However, l am afraid she forgot that it really was her brothers party instead of hers"

Many of the new hats-the street noon modes-are trimmed with feathers in one form or another Clusters of cock feathers are fre- quently used on tailored filet shapes; ostrich is beginning to appear on large velvet or satin afternoon hats, and, newest of all, are the flower motifs made of soft feathers.
 The demure street shape shown in the uper sketch today is felt in lovely cocoa brown color. It is characterized by the high crown and turned back brim typical of tailored models this season. A note of soft ness, however, appears in the form of smart feather trimming placed low on one side of the crown cocks feathers in flesh and brown.
 Below is an equally smart model in twb shades of brown. The crown is light tan felt and the high, fisring brim is hatter's plush in very dark brown. A narrow band of the light felt binds the forehead, ending in felt bow on one side.
 This model is particularly we'll adopted 10 the new tweed ensembles as the majority of these costumes are In brown and tan tones.

a good question 10 answer. I sup pose" said Danny, that he likes the sound of his own voice."
 Some one else likes it, too," re- piled Peep,
 "Who?" demanded Danny. "Who under the sun can like such noise as that?"
 Mrs. Bittern," replied Peep promptly. That is his way of sing ing to her"
 Singing" cried Danny. Singing. Ha ha, ha, do you call that sing irg?"
 Tt doesn't matter what I call it.. It is what Mrs. Bittern call it, and I guess if you should ask her she would tell you that it is the finest singing in the world,' replied Peep. Love is the only real judge of sing ing"
 I'm going over to get acquainted with that fellow" said Danny.
 Watch out.' warned Peep. Watch out. Hes got q long bill and q sharp one; and he's got long neck '
 'JIe doesn't look it." declared Danny. 1 mean, he doesn't look as if he has Q long neck. I wonder what you call a long neck, anyway" :"
 If you get too near that fellow you may find out" replied Peep. "Yes, sir, you may find out. If you do. don't say l didn't warn you"
 Danny moved around to where he could get good view Of Pumper. Pumper caught a glimpse of him and strengthened out his neck, which he had had folded back between his shoulders. Danny saw then that he did have long neck. He had a long neck and fairly long legs and he looked 10 be just about the size of Black-crown the Night Heron. He was of general brownish color, quite light in places and darker in other places. His legs and feet were gTeeniSh- yellow. Danny had once seen one of Black-crown's children, who was dressed all in brown and Pumper reminded him of this young Night Heron. But when Danny got a good look at that long, sharp bill, he decided that the advice of Peep was good. So Danny was very polite. He remained at a respectful distance, and in his funny, squeaky little voice he said: 'l hope you are feeling very fine today. Mir. Bittern." Copyright. 1926, by T. w. Burgess

 You know, Jerry, that this eve- : ming will be the first time in all his 1 life that John Meredith has ever made his appearance in public place like a restaurant or a thcater.
 For some reason he seemed to want to go with me and of course Joan was most enthusiastic about it. She may not have wanted me 10 go as her secretary, but she certainly made it very clear that she wanted me 10 go as her friend,' Judy Dean. are you thinking of throwing me over for that wealthy 'cripple?".

 Then the luck was, that when went over to Anderson's that night, blest if he didn't have just the same punClilious tidiness, that extra de- gree of neatnGss, that wouldn't let tleck of anything anywhere. Most unusual for q man. And, Ander- sons array of pipe cleaners was al- most identical with Heaths'
 But how did you know he would come over to Heath's that night?"
 That was long shot. But l had my suspicians reused even then. And when Anderson quoted that line, For each man kills the thing he loves" l gave him look which he caught. That line is from Oscar Wilde's Ballad of Reading Gaol, and l figured that if that book was in evidence at Heaths it would be a point and also, and more inn portant. if he had caught on to my gaze at him, and l thought he had, he'd very likely come over himself and take it away. And, as the man said, also which he done'.'
