TENNIS TOURNEY
 STOPPED BY RAIN
Helen Jacobs Is Only Player to
 Finish Her Match
By MARY K. BROWNE United Press Stan Correspondents (Copyrixht 1927 by United PresI)

Seabright, N. J.. Aug. 2 UP)- The first round of the Seabright
 tennis tournament was we'll under
 way when deluge of rain inter- fered, and players were obliged to
 retire from the courts with matches unfinished.
 Miss Helen Jacobs, the IS year
 old Californian, was the only one to get in ahead of the rain. She polished off Molly Thayer of Phila- delphia, 6-1, 6-2.
 Manuel Alonso, Johnny Doeg.
 George Lott and Francis Hunter were all set-in on their matches
 and we'll on the way to victory The matches will be continued at point
 where play stopped instead of be- ing entirely replayed.
 The default. of Helen Wills in the singles was a keen disappointment,
 but Miss Wills preferred to rest this week to be fresh for the in ternational team matches and the national championship. the big show to be staged in the next cou- pie of weeks at Forest Hills. To add to the regret, Miss Kea Bouman, the charming Dutch girl, champion of France and Holland. decided she must become accus- toned to the climate before she
 can play in strenuous singles con- petition. She has only been off the boat a few days and feels the hu-
 midity. She will however, play in
 the two double events.
 William T. Tilden was due today but whether he would participate in the singles was a question. Ap- parently, tennis takes it's toll In stamina, yet a few years ago the champions were not so fearful Of overdoing.
 During two months, Helen Wills
 has played two tournaments in England and two in America, and in one of the American tourna- ments she did not play singles. Yet
 Miss Wills is tired. Either the game is more strenuous. or the new champions have more sense about taking care of themselves. and judgment as to how much play will
 keep them in form.
 William Tilden has played more tennis this year than any two players should have played. and should he decide to give his singles
 racquet rest. he is certainly wise. I watched Helen Jacobs, the com- ing young Californian. with keen interest. She has improved great deal in the last year. but she needs a lot more experience and under standing of court tactics, court po- sition and angles. She has a fine fast service but does not place it well. She has acquired a fine fore

JOHNSON RECEIVES
 BASEBALL H0NORS
Completes 20 Years as a Major League Pitcher Today

Washington, August 2 F-Walter Johnson, famous pitcher of the Washington Senators, and an idol of Americas national sport, today con- pletes his twentieth year of base ball.
 Before host of the national cap itals fans who were expected at the Griffith Stadium to full capacity, the old master, as Johnson is known among major league players, pre- pared to celebrate the anniversary by pitching against the Detroit Fig CTS, the first opponents of his ca reer.
 Washington's baseball fandom and the leading officials of the American League too planned to mark Johnson's record with a cele- bration and tribute such as has been rarely accorded a player. Today was Johnson Day. at the Griffith Sta dium and the tall veteran mounds man alone was to be the recipent of the fans plaudits.
 Before the game strated leng- thy program of honors for Johnson was arranged. The ranking meember of the cabineet, Secretary of State Kellog in the absence of President Coolidge was designated to present Johnson with two gifts from Wash ington's fandom-a silver service and a check. As the tribute of the American League president, E. E. Johnson of the circuit then was as signed to reward the veteran hurler the first distinguished service mdal of major league baseball, a decora- tion created for the occasion. The medal is in the shape of a maltese cross, studdd with twenty diamonds, one for each year of Johnson's ser vice. Later shaft of bronze and marble in the shape of sun dial, it is planned, will be erected and in- scribed with Johnson's record just within tn gates of the ball park, the funds for the monument being raised among the city's baseball fans.
 Concerts by the army and navy bands and stunts by Nick Altrock and Al" schacht, two former league pitchers who now act as coaches for the senators as features of the celebration before the game
 As a final tribute just as Johnson was to take the mound a quartet was to lead the crowd in singing Aud Lang Syne.'
 Then the rest of the celebration was planned on Johnson's shoul- ders. The game was to mark the 795th contest of his career and if he wins it will be his 415th victory. None of the Detroit team who faced him in his league debut in 1907 re- mains on the club today although Ty Cobb, one of his opposing bats men 20 years ago. is still in base ball with the Philadelphia Athlet- ics.
 However, Johnson expected to see one familiar face on his first game on the diamond in Billy Evans, veteran umpire, who despite wrenched knee planned to handle the indicator during part of today's game. X group of fans who saw Jolnson's first game also were to be seated in places of honor near the diamond.

Speaking of Sports

Rain again interrupted the pro- gram of sports for the week yes- terday when 1t came down in tor- rents just before 3 o'clock in time to prevent the playing of the Rotary Boys League games at Walnut Hill park. For the second time in as many nights, the Church League games at Willow Brook pard had to be called off.
 Senior baseball teams in this city have been forced to cancel or post pone four Sunday games during re- cent weeks because of rain and wor- ried managers are hoping for a break" soon in the weather.
 It Is high time for the managers of the leading teams in the qity to get together If they are to play a city championship series again this year. At this time last year, nearly all the details to be followed out were planned and dates for games were already set.
 If there Is such thing as city series in the minds of the managers this season, then the weather we have been enjoying lately would cause them to start thinking seri- ously of making arrangements.
 For the past several seasons, now, efforts have been made to decide the champion of New Britain and despite the early start of last sea- son. the games between Aiken sington and the Falcons were never finished because the season had ad- vanced we'll into the football time before all the games were finished.
 Should the managers decide that they want to pla yoff a city series this year, we would be glad to CO., operate with them again in any way possible. We think that the series, which has been made practically an institution in this city, should be carried out each year at the end of the baseball year to decide the mythical championship of the city.
 The teams meet outside opposi- ton during the year but their rela- tive strength is not decided until the series Is played to determine which is tho hest outfit in the city.
 Men about the state who are in terested in professional football, are losing no time in making prepara- tions for the season which is due to open in a few months. Plans which were discussed at the close of last season for a state league, are be- ginning to take shape and it IS en- tirely possible that a circuit will be formed.

Can't Blame Umpire


 Can't Blame Umpire Johnson does not believe in um- pire batting and is one of the few players who never has been ban ished from the game by an umpire.
 "A ball players must realize that the umpircs are all honest and are When a player is going bad he sometimes lays his own troubles to the umpire. But no player or team should blame defeat on an umpire. personally would rather take the blame myself.'
