CHAMPS MEET +.

There will be no mercy shown
this evening when the Potomac
Yards and Pullman mines clash in
the third game of the weekday
baseball tournament. The former
won the Terminal Morning League
championship and the latter the
evening, but their relationship ends
when they cross bats on the dia-
mond. Pullman won it's opening
game by walloping Union Printers
Tuesday and are confident of sue
cess again this evening. Potomac
Yards makes it's debut tonight.
The dark horse" of the tourna-
ment, Calvary Baptist, Georgetown
Church League champs, is a known
quantity now. The knowledge came
from their performance last evening,
when they defeated Gas Light Com
pany, 8 to 3. and their future ap.
pearances will be watched with
more than ordinary interest. In
fact, they will be the team to beat.
The churchmen have a team
that is studded with capable,
youngsters and, in Benny
WOrmsIey and Ray Davidson.
they have pair of crack
pitchers that bid fair to hurI
them to the championship.
Davidson worked last evening and
Dutch Smithson was the only Gas
Company player able to fathom his
stuff. Dutch got three singles, half
OF the total made by his team.
Eleven opponents either looked at
or had cut at Davidson's third
strike ball, Sammy Haas going
down three times.
Both teams scored in the first
inning, Smiths single driving home
Gill, who had tripled. for the Gas
Co., while Proctor's double sent De-
marest home for the churchmen.
The latter kept pecking away at
Farran and scored twice in the
second and drove him from the
mound in the third. in which they
scored two more runs off Brown.
The latter hurled well until the
eighth when Calvary reached him
for another pair of markers. They
also coined another in the ninth.
Gas Co.'s final two runs came in
the eighth on an error and Gill's
theft of home.
1t took the Police II innings to
do it but they defeated the Army
War College nine. to s, when
Tommy Hooks single scored Mazur-
sky with the deciding tally in the

had walked and stolen second. To-

WILLS
lJPSE I S
CRITICS
BY Malcolm Roy

FOREST HILLS, L. l.,
Aug. 22.-Pity Helen Wills,
international lawn tennis
champion. She's condemned
if she does and doubly con-
demned if she does not.
Following her 8-6, SIS victory
over Betty Nuthall in the Wightman
Cup matches, her triumph by such q
narrow margin was interpreted in
many quarters as an indication that
she was losing her grip and taking
less interest in the game in view of
her approaching marriage.
Now comes her playing in the cur
rent womer's national championship
tournament in which she has won
her first, second and third round
matches for total of 36 games with
the loss OF only one.
Never, say the same critics who
condemned what they thought was
her lackadaisical play against Miss
Nuthall. has the champion played
with such seeming vindictiveness as
she has put into her play against
the second-string girls. she has been
called upon to meet in the national
title matches.
Her service is regarded as
nothing short of murderOus and
her fOrehand and backhand
drives never have carried such
burning speed as they have
sizzIed across the Forest Hills
turf these last few days.
T.. JAIA he
played against Katherine Lamarche,
Mrs. Charlotte Hosmer Chaplin ana
Miss Alice Francis, her first three
tournament opponents, as II the
world hung on each and every point.
In going after every shot. Queen
Helen has been absolutely relentless
and it is the very fury of her play
that has brought the wrath of the
critics down upon her head,
All of which tends to prove that
Miss Wills is not nearly as good
a psychologist as she is lawn
tennis player. If she knew her
critics properly she would have
been relentless and vindictive to the
nth power against the British Betty
while she would have toyed with
the second rate American opponents
in the national tournament as a
cat with a mouse before finally ex-
ecuting the coup de grace. That
would have made her more popular
with the critics and incidentally
would have won her the plaudits Of
the gallery. As it is. she plays
through in her best relentless man
ner and gets no more applause than
finely adjusted buzz-saw,
But that Helen Wills is Just as
excellent a player as she ever was
goes without saying and it is dollars
to doughnuts that she will win her
fashion than she has triumphed
in any previous tournament. This
despite the fact she will undoubtedly
meet Betty Nuthall in, the semi
finals and either Helen Jacobs or
Mrs. Phoebe Watson in the finals.
Much concern is felt over the
condition of Helen Jacobs. The
younger California girl showed
remarkable grit and courage in
coming from behind to defeat
Mrs. B. C. Covell, of England
yesterday, 1O-8, 60, but it Is
admitted that she is not i'm good
physical condition.
She is still suffering from the
effects of badly wrenched back
| which she received in England
shortly before the Wimbledon tour
nament. All through her match
with Mrs. Covell she put her hand
to her back at every opportunity and
she was in keen distress several
| times.
