Three VETERANS

Trio Of Former Stars Win
Matches in First Round

Forest Hills, N. Y, Aug. 81 Up
They may talk about Jack Britton
in boxing and old Jack Quinn in
base ball but tennis has produced no,
one but three who have them back
ed well off the boards for stamina
that defies the years. The strangest
part of it is that they are of the
supposedly weaker sex.
If it were not for the presence of
Helen Wills which makes the result
of the present women's national
championship tennis tournament al
most d foregone conclusion, Mrs.
May Sutton Bundy, Mrs. Molla
Bjurstedt Mallory and Mrs. Hazel
Hotchkiss Wightman would be
among the favorites for the title.
Yet it is Is years since Mrs. Bundy
won this same title. while Mrs.
| Wightman first gained the cham
pionship back in 1909 and Mrs.
Mallory rose to the heights in 1915.
All three won their first round
matches yesterday in straight sets,
although opposed by some of the
leading young players of the coun-
try. Not content with playing
singles two of them have teamed up
in doubles.
Mrs. Wightman. who was instru-
menta in developing Miss Wills into
a worlds champion. will team with
her. They head the doubles seeded
list and if they come through Miss
Wills may gain the distinction which
was hers only once before-in 1924
that of holding the championship
in both singles and doubles. She is
prohibitive favorite for the singles
crown. In 1924 her companion in
doubles triumph was Mrs. Wight
man.
Mrs. Bundy and her partner.
Helen Jacobs. both of whom hail
from California, are seeded second
in the doubles draw and loom as the
leading rivals of the Wightman-
Wills combine. After them in order
are seeded:
Mrs. Charlotte H. Chaplin. Spring

defSOn, KlCnmOnd, va.
Miss Edith Cross, San Francisco,
and Mrs. l.. A. Harper. Los An

Oexman. both of Cincinnati; Miss
Alice Francis, Orange, N. j., and
Miss Marjorie Morrill,. Dedham,
Mass: and Mrs. B. L. Stem and
Mrs. William S. Hester, New York.
Mrs. Mallory contning her activ-
seeded second and Miss Wills with
chance to meet fair Helen in the
final as of old. saved herself as
much as possible in winning from
Miss Gene Burritt, Toronto, 60,

only six survived to depict
those last horror-inspiring hours
before the ship broke up on the
reefs. All Of the 80 passengers
aboard were lost. Many Of these
were women and children, the fam
ines of laborers on their way to
the nitrate fields Of Northern
Chile.
A terrific storm came up late
Friday night while the ship was in
the Bay of Arauco, after having
coaIed at Punta Arenas. The cap
tain of the vessel headed out to
sea to ride out the storm.
Ship Loses Rudder
The storm increased to stupen-
6ous proportions. In the midst OF
IT, according to the survivors, the
ship lost her rudder. Tossed about
at the mercy of the raging sea,
the vessel drifted toward the reefs.
Attempts were made to lower
life boats when it was seen that
the vessel was certain to crash on
the rocks. One by one the life
boats overturned with their human
cargoes in the heavy seas.
Finally the ship was driven upon
!, the rocks. 1t filled rapidly, then
broke in two. The captain, who had
remained upon the bridge until the
last, shot himself in the temple when
he realized that he could do nothing
to avoid terrible tragedy, accord

Rescue ships which answered the
Angamos' 8. o. 8. calls at first were
unable TO locate the wreck. Later
they found it and picked up 80 bodies
near Punta Chimpel.
Survivors Naked
The six survivors, dszed and al
most naked, were cast upon the
beach near Lebu. about nine miles
south Of Punta Chimpel.
The coast where the Anzamos
struck the rocks is desolate and dan
zerous for any kind of vessel during
a storm. Punta Chimpel is about 50
miles southwest of the point where
a British squadron, under Admiral
Craddock, was sunk by the Germans
in the early days of the world war.
The Angamos was an old vessel
having been built in Scotland nearly
40 years ago. She was Of 5000 tons
