HELEN THROUGH
AS FIGHT FAN
Witnessed Recent Walker
Willis Bout at Frisco.

Miss Helen Wills, women's tennis
champion, who attended the recent
Mickey Walker-Jack Willis prize
fight at San Francisco, made known
afterward that she never wanted to
see another ring battle.
"Unless," she added, 81 might have
the opportunity to see Mr.. Tunney
some day. / understand he boxes and
does not fight. / think l might like
that"
Miss Wills attended the bout after
she received the approval of her par
ents that it was perfectly all right
for women to attend prize fights If
they wanted to-"
1.-THE fight was very interesting"
said Miss Wills. "But / do not want
to go again. Tennis is the only game,
and / do not believe that anyone who
really loves tennis like / do could
ever become fight fan. The two
sports are so different it is hard to
talk about them together.
"But / really was agreeably sur

comfortable than l expected it would
be, but / was surprised that there
were so few women there.
"What particularly interested and
fascinated me was the beautiful play
of muscles displayed during the fight,
and the footwork..
Eyes, am glad | went, but l am
quite sure | shall never 60 to another
fight. You know, I have yet to see a
six-day bicycle race and an ice hockey
game. want to see everything in the

Lefty" Grove Learning
to Save His Strength

When Lefty" Grove broke into the
American league three years ago 1t
was predicted he would develop into
the games greatest strike-out hurler
since RUDE Waddell.
Grove has lived up to all eXpecta-
tons. He has been the strike-out king
of his loop for three years.
Despite his formidable record, Grove
has been gradually cutting down on
his speed and does not throw them
close to exhaustion near the tail end.
Major leaguers are harder to pitch
to. When Grove first broke in they
would wait him out and let him blaze
away for six or seven innings with
the result that he would be close to
exhaustion near the tail end of the
game.
Grove repeatedly was beaten in this
manner until Mack and his assistants
got together and instructed the tall
left-hander to conserve his energy and
rely on a curve ball and a change of
pace more than his natural smoke"
Since doing that Grove has become
the most valuable southpaw in base-
ball.

Parasol Sails

Experiments have been made abroad
with new kind of sail for boats.
The sail when spread resembles
large umbrella. The mast, occupying
a position similar to that of the stick
I'm an umbrella, turns upon a pivot at
the bottom. 1t is usually inclined
about As degrees to the horizon, but
the inclination can be adjusted to
suit the force of the wind. The in
ventors claim that with this sail,
"heeling" of the boat can be avoided,
while at the same time the sail tends
to lift the boat and thus enables 1t
more easily to mount the waves.

The latest effort to reach an agreement

The delegates to special commits
sion which began its sessions on Tues
day left Geneva last night, announcing
they were unable to agree on the text
of draft convention and will be obliged
to report to the Council of the League
OF Nations at its forthcoming meeting
in LuganO that the present situation
did not justify convocation of an inter-
national conference.
Progress was achieved, but further
sessions of the commission of experts
will be necessary.
Unexpected difficulties arose today
with the introduction by the Belgian
delegates of q new classification of
ornaments which affects all other ar
ticles of the draft convention. This
will require new study by technicianS.
Furthermore, no accord was achieved
on the primal problem of publicity for
the figures on both governments and
private manufacturers of ornaments
France and italy held out for only part
publicity on the ornaments manufac-
tured in state arSenalS and dockyards
They expressed belief that this queS-
ton could be handled effectively only
at a general conference for the reduc-
