CHARLESTON, S. c.. March 10
Seven men, the crew of the BRUSH
iiquor-laden schooner Vinces, whose
precipitate flight from Coast Guard
cutter was halted when the guards
men sent a shot crashing through her
bulwarks, were in custody here ast
night, while Federal officers sought
warrants charging violations or pro-
hibition, customs and maritime laws
In addition to the charges which
will be placed against the crew, the
vessel will be libeled and sold, Dis
trict Attorney Meyer declared. Mean
while, the Vinces' cargo, valued at
more than 500, 900 at current bootleg
prices, remains in the hold pending
removal to Government storage for
destruction.
Tell of Capture.
The Coast Guard cutter Mascoutin
towed the Vinces into the Cooper
River and the guardsmen related
thrilling story Of their encounter with
the rum ship.
The Mascoutin was scouting along
the coast when it observed the Vinces
Neering off North Edisto Island, ap-
parently heading for a cove on the
saw the cutter approaching and the
rum vessel put about and raced for
the open sea. The Mascoutin pursued,
giving repeated orders for the Vinces
TO heave to. The commands were dis
regarded and the guardsmen fired.
One shot brought the liquor runner
to a standstill and she was taken.
Bound for Nassau.
The Vinces cleared from Nova
Sciota bound for Nassau, her papers
showed. She is a three-masted schoon-
er, carrying two engines and has COM
plete radio equipment. The radio
room, in fact, was a miniature arse
nal, stacked with guns and ammu-
milton.
The crew gave their residences
chiefly in Newfoundland. Capt.
Michael Gillon was commanding. The
Vinces' papers showed her managing
owner to be A. t. Cieary, although
at the time of her registry she was
owned by Clifford E. Melanson of Gill
bert's Cove. Nova Scotia. She is 81
feet long and was built in 1925.

IMAGINATION NOT NEEDED
FOR MISS WILLS TO WIN

might be inclined TO agree with him.
Certainly Helen's matches are over
often before one has a chance to get
warmed up" to them. In that sense
they leave one cold.
But watching her in an average
match we have the feeling that she
has a tremendous reserve of resource
fulness and imagination, which she is
rarely called upon to exhibit. After
all, why stretch the imagination if
the simple mechanical motion will
score the needed point? When the
Californian is extended, as she was in
, the case of that pass" at the net,
she showed that her thought processes
are functioning with sufficient cum
ming to outguess her cleverest op-
ponent.
But the new Helen is so rarely ex-
tended by one of her own sex. Could
this not be the reason for the APP
parent lack of imagination and the
dearth of thrills in her encounters?
More than ever before, we long for
another meeting between our national
champion and Suzanne Lenglen. It
is great pity that this may never be,
for here we would see matched wits
against wits, for it probably would not
be possible for either to out-stroke the
other without the exercise of crafty
headwork.
Perhaps Lenglen would exhibit more
imagination, but we maintain that the
brain that can conceive delicate poe
try which is clamored for by publish
ers before the work is completed, must
possess an imaginative streak of it's
own.

How did she do it? 1t was all over

tons Of the same ilk crowd our mind.
Perfect timing, perfect control, un-

answer the questions of the how and
why in Helen Wills success. Where
other players play the court, Helen
Wills hits the corners, often even
when on the run to recover a pass
ing shot. Once we saw her, passed
at the net, run backward and recover
the ball, placing 1t down the line with
sureness and cunning as uneXpect-
ed to her opponent as it was amazing
to the gallery.
Yet, one writer says quite frankly
that Miss Wills game leaves him
cold. Watching her play through five
or six matches, none of which re-
quired more than 80 minutes to com
plete, he declares that she lacks mag
ination in her game-that it Is merely

Climaxing a sensational drive that

Helen Wills was and is supreme,
but the means of4hera triumph yester-
day served to Indicate that she is to

turned back in the title match.
Experts have decreed that within
two years Miss Nuthall will be close
to a parity with Miss Wills. The
rapidity of the English girls improve

picked up tremendously during the
