WOMEN CHANCE
 TENNIS STYLE
Players Make Difference in
 BaCkhand Strokes

New York, Sept. '. TP)-Wo- mems tennis tournaments this sum- mer have proved that in threc departments of play feminine star have advanced notably
 The most conspicuous dev ,lop- mcnt is the backhand stroke which has changed from purely defen- slVe to an aggressive weapon, and it's the form from a chop to a drive stroke. It is no longer possible tc win matches from top notchers by simply pounding their backhand.
 Second, women have perfected q free arm over hand service which they place beautifully, keep ir court regularly and score points outright on it's speed. Formerly their service merely put the bal in play
 Third, women not ony use the forccourt against their opponents out advance to that position in thei1 own territory and Vollcy with crisp ness and more intelligent under. standing and daring use Of angles The women show far greate, courage in going for placement. ana more imposing percentag, succeed, They are lighter on theiI feet and move in their all-impor tant hitting position with greate, accuracy and facility.
 Hit Harder
 The girls hit the tennis bal harder and their strokes are swifte, with each succeeding year. Wher l say this l mean speed per sho because, of course, I have seer May Rundy and others hit an oc raSlonal drive as hard as Heller Wills sWlftest, but there never wa. such sustained speed.

 Bobby Jones' defeat in the anna teur will have little effect on the question as to who is the greatest golfer of the present day. Johnny Goodman earned a niche in the golfng hall of fame by beating Elm pcror Jones and then Lawson Little trimmed Johnny. But these vic tories puts neither in the same class with Jones.
 Match play is not a true test of golfng ability The design of the game is to play against par rather than an opponent. All open con- tests are played on that basis. In these tournaments the best player wins out. The contestants fight par and themselves for four rounds and every shot counts. There are no concessions.
 Goodman played in the open at Winged Foot He shot 3lS against Jones' 294, not good enough to earn him the privilege of competing in the event next year without quail flying. He qualified at Pebble Beach with 157 and then beat Jones one up with a 7G 10 Jones' 75
 To score better than an opponent and yet be beaten by him could not happen in any other game except golf. It must appear ridiculous to the spectator who is not bound to the traditional double scoring sys- tenn Of golf.
 There are a dozen or more play CTS who might beat Jones in an cighteen-holc match. It would de- pend upon the breaks" of the game. But over the 72 hole route Bobby has hung up tcn-year record that is likely to stand until long after Goodman has quit the links for seat beside the fire.
 In the opens from 1920 to 1929. Jones varied his scores exactly ten points-from 69 10 79-With only two as high as the latter figure. For 40 rounds his average score, under the trying conditions of the keenest competition, was TAP. The record Surpasses. by one stroke, Walter llagen's average score for the same period and event.
 Until this week, Jones had won A out of 25 championship matches during the past five years. He has worn the amateur crown four times, he has captured the open three times and twice Bobby has won the British open.
 The |. s. amateur title for 1929 will be vested in some one clso but to the golfng public Jones still rules supreme as the greatest golfer of the day, It will take moro than q win over him by q putt or two 10 tapple the king from his throne.

POLL FRAUDS CHARGED
Norris Agrees to Respite,

Ruling From Curtis.
POLL FRAUDS CHARGED
BY PAUL r.. MALLON

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-An old
fashioned monkey wrench, the Ware
case, was dropped deftly into the
tariff machinery in the senate today
when George w. Norris, the farm
bloc senator from Nebraska, de-
manded immediate settlement of the
3-year old dispute over seating Sen
ator-Elect William S. Ware OF
Pennsylvania.
AS strong opponent of the tariff
bill, which he believes will not bring
further relief to agriculture, Norris
proposed a resolution denying Ware
his seat.
The resolution has the highest
privilege and supersedeS even the
pending tariff bill. It's effect will De
to delay indefinitely the debate upon
the pending business, unless Repub-
lican leaders find some means ot
sidetracking it.
Watson Asks Time
Republican floor leader Watson
managed to block it for the day,
when he requested time to look 1t
over. Norris agreed to the brief
respite, but only after he had OBJ
tanned a ruling from Vice-President
Curtis that his resolution was bigger
business under the senate rules than
the tariff bill, allowing him to get
it in place of the tariff at any time.
The Ware resolution may lead to
extended debate. The same coalition
group which is fighting the tariff
bill, the farm bloc members and the
Democrats also are fighting against
Ware.
They contend his primary cam
paign expenditures of more than
100000 constituted fraud and cor
ruption in his election, and there
fore. he should be denied a seat.
The Norris resolution cites the facts
in the 1926 election case, reasons for
delay in acting upon it, and reason
why it should be no longer post
poned.
Smoot, Simmons Mix
Confronted with this new prob
lem, the Republicans went ahead
slowly with the tariff debate. A row
between Senators Smoot and Sim
mons, leaders of the opposing fac
tions, required forty-f1Ye minutes
to decide what facts should be
printed in the comparative tariff
tables to be made for use of sena-
tors. Simmons won, soSa f1ve-pound
book will be printed containing all
the facts.
During the debate, Senator Pat
Harrison Dem., Miss, charged
Smoot with "censoring" facts which
would be of benefit to the opposi-
ton. He cited figures which he
claims Smoot deleted from the tariff
report, showing increases in the
house and senate bills. over the
present tariff law
