Rhode Island Citizens
Oppose Building Plants

Opposition to zoninG laws that
would permit industries and manu-
featuring plants in the vicinity of
Twenty-first Street and Bunker
Hill Road northeast, was voiced in
resolutions adopted by the Rhode
Island Avenue Citizens Association
at its meeting last night.
There was no opposition against
the building of small stores and
small commercial houses.
Another resolution urged the re-
tention of Col U S. Grant. Sd. as

New York that a junketing

it could not have been him.

"You just say that l didn't have

The charge Is absolutely without
foundation.
"'rhe examination at the customs
office was somewhat cursorX. but

Morgan supported and voted for
the drastic Jones law several weeks
ago, under which transportation of
liquor becomes punishable by fine

said Crawford, that we ought to de-

that he vote dry, but it is time we

FRENCH WOULD PLAY
FOR WlGHTMAN CUP
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
French women are casting enviouS
eyes at the Wightman Cup.
Competition for the cup. the only
trophy In international team play for
women, now is confined to the United
States and Great Britain.
French woman stars have discussed
the subject and specialized on the posi-
bility Of competition ultimately to de-
termine feminine world tennis SUI
premacy on q par with the Davis Cup
matches.
To watchers at Wimbledon In recent
years 1t has been evident that at least
half q dozen countries could put strong
teams into the field. France has
yielded its former supremacy among
woman players to Helen Wills, but has
a number of fine players, including
Nine. Matthew, who played the Amer1-
can champion in the French finals.
In international competition, Great
Britain, the United States, France. Ger
many, Holland, Australia and South
Africa might be entered.
The all-around athlete, Senorita de
Alvarez. would head any Spanish ag-
gregation. Germany has the pretty lit
tie f<aulein Cilly Aussem: Holland,
Mile Kea Bouman, while Australia has
her champion, Miss Akhurst, Miss Boyd
and Mrs. O'Hara Wood. South Africa
could easily recruit a high-grade team
from players such as Mrs. Peacock,
Miss Heine and Miss Tapscott.

T|LDEN IS At BEST
TO DEFEAT HUNTER
Big Bill 0verWheIms Rival to
Win Singles Crown on
Rye Courts.
BY the Associated PresA.

BY the Associated PresA.
~ We, N. Y. August 17.-Saving his

went to the San Francisco team Of
Mrs. L. A. Harper and Edith Cross. The
Far WeSterners conquered Virginia Rice
of Boston and Clara Zinke of Cincin-
natl. GO, 3-6, 11-9.
All the drama of the Hunter-Tilden
match was contained in the third set.
In the first two sets Tilden took ad-
vantage Of the fact that Hunters hard
driving game was strangely ineffective
to win both sets with the loss Of only
four games.
In the third set, however, Hunter re-
gained control of his forehand on which
his whole game is based, and gave Til
den terrific battle of it.
Before their singles battle Tilden and
Hunter had paired In the doubles to de-
feat Fritz Mercur Of Harrisbur, Pa. and
J. Gilbert Hall of Orange, N. j., in the
semi-flnal round of the mems doubles,
50, GO, 6-S, GO. The first three
sets of this battle had been played yes
terday when darkness ended the strug-
gle before it could be completed.
This victory sent the countrys first
and second ranking players into the
doubles final tomorrow against Berkeley
Bell Of Dallas, Tex, and Gregory Man
gin of Newark, N. j., who beat them in
the final of the Southampton invitation
tournament last week.
The final of the women's singles, be-
tween Sarah Palfrey of Boston and

Women's High Heel Shoes
Worrying Links Officials

oficials in charge of the amateur
championship at Pebble Beach,
Calf, next month are determined
that their putting green's and fair
ways will not be ruined by high heels
worn by women golf enthusiasts.
Chief among the "don'ts" issued
by the tournament committee for
the galleries which will gather to
watch the tourney is this injunc-
ton: Don't wear high heels. Women
spectators must wear fiat-heeled
shoes or they will be excluded from
the course"
The other "don'ts" are similar to
those in effect at other national
championships, all designed to aid
both the players and spectators.
Up at Winged Foot cameras used
by amateur enthusiasts were barred
from the course, and Argus-eyed
gallery marshals enforced the rule.
But cameras will not be barred at
Pebble Beach. The only injunction
regarding cameras Is that they shall
not be used within hearing distance
Of the players.

PICKED TO1EKTEND
STRING Of TITLES
Queen of Courts Has Lost
Few Sets in Play for
Tennis H0nors.
BY ALAN J. GOULD,

Associated Press Sports Editor.
IT'S rare thing when q winning
streak can be extended over any
substantial period in these days Of
Il fast-moving competition, but one
of the rarest, the tennis streak Of
Helen Wills, seems quite likely to con-
tinue for another year.
There may be few squalls ahead
for Queen Helen, who has missed only
one year at the top since 1928, but 1t
looks like smooth sailing once more for
her in the national championships this
week at Forest Hills.
The nickname, Little Miss Poker
Face" first was applied to her back in
1923 when as girl of II she wrested
the championship from Mrs. Molla
Bjurstedt Mallory for the first time and
with surprising ease. In few of her
campaigns since then, as a matter Of
fact, has Miss Wills played with more
superb ease, control and confidence.
Operation Put Her Out.
Still short of her twenty-fourth birth
day, Miss Wills, has now won five Of
the six national championships, pass
ing up the 1926 tournament as result
of an operation for appendicitis. She
has captured the priced Wimbledon
title for the past three seasons.
In three straight years. she has DROP
ped only one set and she hasn't been
defeated since July, 1926, year In
which she dropped matches to Suzanne
Lenglen in France and to Mrs. Mallory
at Rye, before deciding not to risk
her health by entering the national
championship.
Altogether, Miss Wills has lost only
a half dozen matches in any tourna-
ment since 1923. Elizabeth Ryan and
Kitty McKane, now Mrs. L. A. Godfree,

distinction of conquering Queen Helen
after her rise to the top. In five Amer
lean championship tournaments the
Californian has lost only five sets and
none since 1925 in the Forest Hills
classic. She lost set in the semi
finals to Miss McKane in 1928, another
to Mary K. Browne in the 1924 semi
finals and was extended to three sets
in each Of her last three matches in
1925 by Joan Fry, Eleanor Goss and
Miss McKane.
Betty Nuthall and Helen Jacobs are
two Of the rising threats to the reign
of Queen Helen. One or the other may
be the Californian's successor eventu-
ally, but thus far neither has been able
to more than temporarily disturb the
champions game.
1t is noteworthy that star athletes in
other branches Of sport, seasoned per-
formers, take quickly to golf. They
have the competitive spirit to start with.
and they have confidence, which il
almost half the battle in any game.
Maurice Mclaughlin, the old tennis
star, who has entered the United States
amateur golf championship, is one ex-
ample. Mary Browne made the shift
from tennis to golf to achieve some
noteworthy triumphs, including VIC
tory over the national golf champion.

LAZY GOLF SHOWN
BY HORTON SMITH
Fans Who Watched Him
Shoot Here Impressed by
His Unhurried Swing.
TIME most impressive part of Hor-
ton Smiths game, to most of the
golf fans who watched the pre-
cision of this master Of the links

IN \k1S kk1Sot uk1RE GSC1VC EAkb Va k1Ot
ton Smiths game, to most of the
golf fans who watched the pre-
cision of this master of the links
at Indian Spring last Tuesday,
was the unhurried-almost lazy-swing
of the Joplin wonder. r
Usually a tall man has long, loose
swing, and fairly fast back stroke, but
Smiths swing is very compact. At the
top Of the swing with the wooden clubs
the shaft Is not beyond the horizontal
and the ball appears TO 60 away with a
flick of the wrists and a slight turn Of
the hips. Even though he was out with
three of the noted great hitters OF the
game, the desire for an extra 10 yards
Of distance did not show in Smiths
game. His swing was just as smooth
and unhurried as 1t ever has been, and
the upshot of it was that he was hitting
the ball smoothly and cleanly; and
getting as much distance as the sluggers
who appeared to hit the ball SO much
harder.
Most of the persons who compose a
gallery watching golf match are too
much interested in following the night
OF the bali to notice such matters as
hip turn, wrist action, head steadiness
and footwork. But we noted few in
the gallery at Indian Spring last Tues
day who were interested IN watching
the mechanics of Horton Smiths game.
There Is more to watching golf
game than seeing where the ball goes.
And to those who watch such men as
Horton Smith with the view Of picking
up pointers on the factors that enter
into the successful swing, the rewards
are obvious. To these came the message
of the untitled head. AS a matter OF
fact, Horton Smith did lift his head
slightly on one shot from the bunker at
the fifteenth. On all the others his
head was as steady as the Rock of
Gibraltar. 1t was down where 1t should
be, and we are sure three seconds could
be tolled of before his head rose on
most of his long shots.
In the entire Is holes Horton Smith
did not miss Notable putt. He did
not get down any long ones, but he
holed a half dozen Of those tantalizing
Shooters over green's which were en-
