The defeat of the Mukden troops,
Sun said, will also be blow to Chi

him of the possibility of support from
the northern militarists.
Sun Fo declared that Chang Kai-

has been shooting down workers.
Such methods Sun declared, will keep

Chapin's tournament worries for the

thing.
According to the opinions Of some
of those who have watched progress
closely Betty Nuthall is favored over
Eleanor Goss, but Miss Goss has so
many canny strokes in her bag with
which to bewilder a youthful player
that we should say she goes into the
fray with even chance.
Many seem to feel that Helen
Jacobs hard hitting game will prove
too much for Mrs. Roeser. Others
point out that Mrs. Roeser's slow
balls may rebel at being hit hard

"OREST HILLS, Long ISldnQ, Au'
gust 26.-After witnessing meet
ings between seven of yester-
i days Europe's premier feminine
racket wielders and seven OF
Americas best in the first critical
matches of the women's national ten.
mis- championships on the courts OF
the west Side Club we are convinced
of three things. The continental
women are much faster on their feet
than the Americans, they are COM
plete masters of the backcourt game,
but the Americans have 1t on them
in service and net play.
These generalities, of course. have
their exceptions-Eileen Bennett or
England being one of the exceptions,
for she has a corking good service
and exceptional control of her volley
shots as we'll as her deep'court
strokes. Kea Bouman of Holland
also is mistress of the situation on
the forecourt when she is in condi-
tion, but at present strained back
has slowed her game to such an ex'
tent that her volleying has been con-
fined almost exclusively to her doubles
play.
OF the six Americans who came
through to the quarter finals yester'
telling shots from the half volley or
net position, while the two survivors
from across the waters earned their
victories from the base line. Kea
Bouman, for reasons already stated.
relied entirely upon deep-court place
ments for her win over Mrs. j. d.
Corbierre, while Betty Nuthall pound
ed the lines to defeat Penelope Ander-
son without advancing inside the
service line more than two or three
times during the entire match.
Mrs. Chaplin, who scored the most
surprising victory of the day over Joan
Fry, has her chop volley and her per-
fectly controlled service to thank for
the privilege of meeting Molla Mallory
in the quarter-finals today. Helen
Wills. while not hard pressed to win
over Mrs. John Hill, South African
champion, found it necessary on sew
eral occasions to work her way to the
net in order to dispose Of her op.
ponent's we'll timed shots.
Mrs. Hill is another of the visitors
who is skilled in the aerial game, as
one foot ball expert termed 1t as he
watched her play from the sidelines.
She had the courage to advance non
chalantly to the net in the face Of
Helen Wills terrific drives, and on
numerous occasions was rewarded by
earning a critical point. She took five
games from the American ace, and
has the distinction Of being the only
one so far in the tourney, who has
at any time led her in games. Mrs.
Hill held three-one advantage In the
second set.
Helen Jacobs and Eleanor Goss
were the other two Americans to
score. Miss Goss' victory over Mrs.
Harvey was one Of the high spots
of the day. Molla Mallory and Mrs.
Roeser drove entirely from the back
court. Molla's terrific pace on the
forehand provided the deciding fac
tor against pretty Gsvendolyn Sterry
of England in the most colorful of
these two encounters.
Miss Jacobs scored over Miss Ben
nett solely because she was quick
enough to force her into the back
court and assume the aggressive
herself as she was battling the most
capable net player of the visit group.
