Miss Jacobs Blows Up in
Feature Match of
Essex Event.
VICTOR IN TOP FORM
Score Of 6-1, 6.2 Decides
Tennis Tilt.

BIZ United Press
MANCHESTER, Mass, July 3D.
Helen Wills, Wimbledon tennis
champion, easily defeated her
Berkeley, Cal, townswoman, Helen
Jacobs, in the finals of the women's
invitation tennis tournament at the
Essex Country Club here today. The
score was 6-1, GO.
Miss Jacobs, the 18-year-old girl
who has been making tennis history
since she came East as the pre-
tender to challenge Miss Wills right
as queen Of CALIFORNIA; court stars,
was unable to cope with the ter
rife service of her opponent.
Champ Cuts Loose
Miss Jacobs was nervous, but
game. She was scarcely a match
for the former national champion,
whose drives found the base lines
with precision and speed. Helen
the Second" seemed just a bit stage
frightened.
The winner gained sixty-one
points in the two sets to twenty
nine for the younger player.
The stands were crowded as the
two girls staged their rivalry match.
Miss Wills served and immediately
took the lead. She ran through
four games before dropping one at
love. Then she ran out the set. The
wimbledon champion Rugged the
base line and drove to every corner
of the court.
Out of Position
At no time during the first set was
Miss Jacobs able to solve the strok-
ing power of her opponent. She was
forced to run all over the court and
frequently was caught out of posi-
ton by smashing returns.
Miss Willis found no difficulty In
handling Miss Jacobs service. On
the other hand, the younger girl
was aced several times. -
The second set was almost a repe-
tition of the first save that Miss
Jacobs seemed to have more control.
She even led at 10 when she won
the first game on service. The fourth
game went to deuce several times
before Miss Wills won it and had a
81 game advantage.
After going to 81, Miss Wills
dropped the seventh game, but came
back in the eighth after it had
deuced to win the set and match.

SOUTH BEND, Ind, July 81
Three Chicago women golfers took
the lead in the Women's Western
Golf Association invitational tourney
at the end of the first eighteen-hole
round at Chain O. Lakes Thursday,
their best golf being just fair in a
field Of seventy-seven starters and
cratic players.
Mrs. Lee Mida, the ruling favorite
from Butterfield Country Club, Chi
cago, took low gross honor with 86,
playing from scratch. Miss jose
phine Morse, South Shore, Chicago,
had 86 net with two handicap,
and Mrs. John Taylor of Evanston
had 81 with two handicap. The
rest of the field was far behind in
gross scores.
Mrs. Robert Tinsley, Crawfords-
vile, was out in front in the second
flight with 81 gross and SO net. Mrs.
C. A. Jaqua, Highland, was the only
other Hoosier to place in the second
flight, She had SO gross and 81
net. Mrs. o. M. Kinnison, Elkhart,

GROSS and 81 net. Mrs. William Did
del, Highland, was the only other
indianapolis woman playing. She
placed far down in the fourth fight
with Ill gross and 90 net.
The uncertainty of lay made the
players cautious, and fear toek its
toll in strokes. Mrs. Mida had an
admittedly poor round Thursday.
Miss Morse was in difficulty in
Vulnerable times, but her steady re-
covery shots kept her abreast Of her

you that the Babe has helped

he turns and exhorts Gehrig to hit
one out of the lot. There is no bunk
about it, either, Ruth is deadly in
Earnest.
While Ruth unquestionably real
ICES what great slugger Gehug is,
know that down in his heart he is
positive the Babe is just a little bet
terat the job of making home runs.
Incidentally, I am sure that Babe
feels that no matter how many
home runs "Larruping Lou" Gehrig
has at the close of the season, Ruth
will have just few more.
Gehrig, on the other hand, Is Just
like a kid about the honors that
have been thrust upon him.
Can you imagine anything great
er than battling Ruth for the home
run title and doing a pretty good
job Of it?" asks Gehrig.
No, kind friends, there is no
enmity between Babe Ruth and
Lou Gehrig; they are the best of
friends. Neither is there any
thing chesty about the Babe, de-
spite any decision you may have
reached to the contrary. He's very

What is Ruth's reaction to the
battle that Gehrig is making to de-

exists between the two? Does Ruth
resent the youth who is trying to
usurp his throne?
The prevailing opinion among
the fans is that bad feeling exists
between the two super sluggers.

ri HERE Is also a belief among
fandom that Babe Ruth has
an exalted opinion of himself
and-to be just plain vulgar-is a
swell-head. That is. entirely erron-
eous.
Like all stars In any sport, Ruth
has supreme confidence in his ex-
traordinary ability. 1t is that which
lot of people regard as ego. He
believes in himself, is positive no
other player can hit a ball as far or
make as many home runs as Babe
Ruth.
If Ruth was a ternperamental
cuss, bundle of nerves, the home
run threat that Gehrig is making
would upset him, would tend to
throw him off his stride.
However, the Bambino Is just the
opposite. He is the phlegmatic
sort, who never worries about any,
thing.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-07-29

is being affected, by the struggle
that Gehrig is making to take
down the hOme-run honors in the
majors. He hardly knows it's on.

NEW YORK. May 3l.---A synthetic

positions had slipped from under

The puddlers. with their blue

pots of molten metal in the old days
and whose efforts took the carbon

fewer every year and It has become
more difficult to secure uniform OPP

For the pudding Of iron is a craft

take up this soaring work and their
fathers are equally anxious to keep
them out Of it.
Under the new system. called the

consists of a one-and -One halt tone
