The term weed" Is generally Defined
as a plant for which no use has been
discovered. and If this Is the case We
may no longer refer to the vegetation
of the sea as "seaweed." A process has
been found in which seaweed Is utilized
In the production of algin and alginates.
Algin Is . substance similar to starch
and gum arabic in It's properties, but
in many respects superior to either.
With a viscosity IA times that Of
starch and 81 times that of gum arabic,
1t Is Of greater advantage than starch
in sizing and finishing fabrics. for it
fills the cloth better, is tougher and
more elastic, transparent when dry,
and is not acted upon by acids Algin
will undoubtedly be used In dyeing and
color printing and In the sizing and
coating Of paper.

There is no sale for the reeds and

THROWS LEWIS, THEN
IS SERIOUSLY INJURED
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, June 30.--Gus Sonnen-
berg, former Dartmouth foot ball star
and victor In 40 consecutive heavy
weight wrestling matches, was uncon-
sciolis in a hospital today with concus-
sion Of the brain as the aftermath OF
a sensational bout last night with Ed
(Strangler) Lewis, in which the
Stranger came within a fraction of
FORGETTING his title.
Sonnenberg won the first fall, Then
the former collegian attempted TO ne
gotiate a second flying tackle hold on
the champion. Lewis sidestepped and
Sonnenberg literally flew through the
ropes TO land on his head beyond the
row of newspaper men.
When in Is minutes he was unable
to continue Lewis was awarded the
match.
Nearly 10000 persons saw the spec
tacular climax to the match. which ii
had seemed must end in the GROWING
of a new champion. Lewis, tower
ing figure beside the comparatively
1.-THE contender, repeatedly showed signs
Of faltering and his one-time deadly
body scissors proved ineffective against
the younger mans headlocks.
Lewis resorted 10 his famous strangle-
holds without avail. Before the first
fall Sonnenberg dived in to butt Lewis
In the stomach. Then he lifted the
champion from his feet with the flying
tackle and slammed the Strangers
huge bulk to the mat TO take the first
fall in 81 minutes and 80 seconds. The
champion was out for Ave minutes.
The start OF the second session saw
Sonnenberg fresh and eager. but the
champion was weak, Twice Sonnen-
berg dived In and Lewis lodged but
on the third attempt the Dartmouth
boy hurtled himself through the ropes
and out onto the floor.

That rambling golfng prodigy
from Georgia Tech. Watts Quinn,
who became the wonder of the
sporting world in 1925 when ne
reached the finals of the United
states amateur, Is decidedly OF
different golf mold than his more
famous fellow townsman, Bobby
Jones. Naturally, with such a model
10 copy one wonders how he gets
that way.
The answer rests In the fact that
Watts began his golting career at
Macon. Ga, under such tutors as
Jack Oke, Harry Duff and Cyrh
Walker. Later Stewart Maiden, pro"
Queer OF Jones and Alexa Stirling
Fraser, got in his innings
Watts made his bid 10 fame with
his long irons, Here his swing Is de-
cidedly short, as his club does not
reach the horizontal His left arm
Is kept straight He also hoods his
club at the top. This Is caused by
two things. Ills right hand is bit
under the club at address and his
pivot Ii distinct shift OF the hips
TO the right with very little turn.
In stroking forward he lashes at
the ball with left In control. sliding
his hips forward and thruating his
right side and shoulder into the shot.
He has fine command of all his
irons, is a good putter, and when the
wood Is working for him he Is
usually top hole In any tield.

FRENCH INTRENCHED
IN TENNIS CLASSIC
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
WIMBLEDON, England, June 30.-It
appears that the quarter finals OF the
mems singles of the British tennis
championships will have strongly
French flavor, with just enough Amer
lean ingredients to add spice.
France probably will have four ana
perhaps five men In the last eight TO
Americas two and one or two for the
rest of the world.
John HenneSSey of Indianapolis has
reached the quarter finals. Big Bill TIL
den could get there by defeating Pierre
Landry of France today. England's
only hope is H. w Austin, Cambridge
University conqueror of Wilbur Coen OF
the American Davis Cup team, but 1t is
hardly to be expected that he can de-
feat Rene Lacoste.
OF the 1913 contestants in the mems
singles France had but 10, yet Oh
them have reached the last l6. Hen
Messy gets his big test probably on
Monday. when he engages the defend
ing champion, Henri Cochet.
No woman seems capable OF even
threatening Helen Wills position OF SUI
premacy among the woman stars.

Whirlwind Helen Wills. Shes Just TOO

menting upon her defeat OF Mrs. Z, II.

Mrs. Harvey took every ball her legs

mentator. ,x,.,,-
While none expects to see Miss Wits
successfully challenged, one expert sug-
rests that she may find the veteran
California player, Elizabeth Ryan. her
most dangerous rival. Miss Ryan has
been playing at top form in the tourna-
ment thus far and appears headed Tor
