two opponents today stood be
VI tween Helen Wills. 2l-year-old

. fourth American women's
championship that will carry with it
undisputed world supremacy in anna,

As tho result OF the downfall of the

stedt Mallory, yesterday, Miss Wills
stood out as the dominant figure
among four young survivors in to-
days Semi-tinals. and ruled a strong
favorite to regain the heights she
held from 1928 to 1925.
In an all-California match today
Wills was bracketed with Helen
Jacobs, both from the same tennis
school and same town Berkeley.
In the other seminal Mrs. Char
lotte Hosmer Chaplin. conqueror of
Mrs. Mallory, was pitted against the
Youngest and last of the English stars,
1G-year-old Betty Nuthall.

L lands best, and the champion
of the French courts, with the
loss of but three games in the quar-
ter finals OF the wOmen's national sim
giles championships yesterday, we felt
fully in sympathy with the writer who
suggested that it seemed almost an
imposition to ask the California girl
to play through the event.
Her ultimate victory is ioreSone
conclusion. None of her matches so
far have taken more than 30 minutes
and few have consumed that length of
time. Critics who have watched her
progress from her first appearance in
the East four years ago. when she
swished her two long pigtails through
the national juniors to capture that
title and subsequently advanced to a
late round in the senior play, refer to
her this year as THE New Helen"
They are unanimous in the opinion
that Miss Wills game is far superior
to what it was in former years. in
speed foot work, court covering and
volleying. According to some her
equal has never been seen on any
court. not excepting Suzanne Leng-
len at her peak.
Certain it is that Miss Wills accom-
pushes ner net Keats WIN mucn more
ease and assurance than did the
French girl. When Lenglen made a
great get or put away a miraculous
smash, one never missed the fact
that she was doing something ex-
traordinary. 1t showed in the attitude
she struck, exquisitely graceful to be
sure, but indicative of supreme eff
fort in many cases. On The other
hand, Helen Wills puts away that
smash or gets that passing shot with
such ease that it seems to the urob-
servant that she is doing a very sim
pie thing.
This is the most striking difference

~HICAGO. August q, - This
town offers the Nationals IL
last chance to pull II few
~ games from the Wrcckage of
the final Western swing of
the year. and even should they sweep
| the three game series here their rec.
ord for the tour would show but vic
tories against 10 defeats.
They ran their losing streak to 10
games yesterday when they let the
Tribe take an S-to-7 tilt for sweep
of the set OF three engagements that
concluded the last stand of the Harris
horde in Cleveland this season. And
they performed just as poorly as they
have since they started their run of
losses on August II.
The Nationals on this trip have col
lapSed worse than any other first
division team in either big league has
| done since the Athletics took their
terrible nose dive in August, 1928.
| Then the AS dropped II games i'm d
row and put themselves completely out
of the running for the pennant after
setting the pace for the other clubs
| through the greater part of the cam
| paign.
Lack Decisive Punch
| 40 tdI dts NUS ana runs were CON
cerned. the Nationals did look some
| what better yesterday than in pre-
| vious games of their losing streak.
They collected II safetics, to match
the total made by the Indians, and in
scoring seven times they piled UP
more tallies than in any other en-
| gaGcment OF the tour Yet they
lacked a decisive punch on the three
| occasions they had fine opportunities
to crash through to victory after d
long wait.
! Afield they were none too speedy.
and in left field they were especially
! weak. Goose Goslin has two errors
! charged against him that affected the
! Indian run making to some little ex-
| tent. although neither of his boots ac-
| tually put Tribesman over the plate.
| Not until the fifth inning. when he
! intercepted a liner, did the Goose
! stop cleanly drive that came TO his
| field, and before that time five were
| driven in his direction. Ossie Bluege
also contributed a poor throw that
| blasted double play hope. but this
| miscue occurred after the Indians had
| done all the damage they could
| An odd choice of relief pitchers by
Manager Harris aided the Indian
cause no little. After Horace Lisen-
| bee had worked the opening inning and
| allowed the Tribe five hits for three
runs. the Nationals got to the left
| handed Joe Shaute for three singles
and two passes which. mixed with q hit
batsman and the lone Cleveland error
of the game. were coed for four runs.
| Then Harris ordered Garland BraXton
on the hill to start the second round.
BraxtOn Goes I'm Gold"
! BraXton. who is suffering with a
severe cold, had not been directed to
warm up until the Nationals rally was
near an end, while Bob Burke had been
toiling in the bull pen more than five
minutes. But it was Braxton, who
| had not made 10 pitches in practice,
who was sent to the slab. and after he
| had pitched to seven batters, the In
dams had the game in hand. He
yielded five hits, a pass and five runs
| while getting one batter out.
