Efforts to Lift Crown From
Miss Wills Appear
Useless.
SARAH PALFREY STARS
16-Year-0Id UpSetS Dope
on Tuesday.
BY WILLIAM J. DUNN


FOREST HILLS, L. /, Aug. I'll
The annual national Women's tennis
championships reached their third
round here today, with sixteen of
sixty-four starters still in the COM
petition for the title now held by
Helen Wills.
The chance Of a new champion
being crowned at the end Of this
tournament appeared no brighter
as the first Of eight third-round
matches got under way.
In fact. Miss Wills record Of only
one game lost in two tWo-set matches
has tended to serve as an indica-
ton that the champion is thor
oughly prepared for the rigid de-
Tense Of her laurels.
Plays Miss Francis
Helen faced Miss Alice Francis of
Orange, N. j., in her third match to-
day and. as usual, no one conceded
her opponent even an outside
chance.
The spotlight, however, is not COR
the champion alone this year. The
appearance Of sturdy Betty Nuthall
in the championship lists demanded
a good share Of the attention Of
followers of the game from the start
of the tournament.
Then, to complicate matters,
Sarah Palfrey a minute package of
tennis ability from Brookline, Mass
provided the greatest sensation Of
the season Tuesday by hating Mrs.
Dorothy Sheperd-Barron Of Great
Britain, in three thrilling sets.
"Startles" Gallery
Miss Palfrey established herself
as a great favorite with the gallery
through her colorful and expert
playing. Only 16 years of age, Sarah
actually startled followers of the
game with the ability she displayed.
Miss Palfrey was matched with
Miss Mary Greet of Kansas City, to-
day. The New England girl scored
a 6-1, 6-3 victory over Miss Greet
in the finals of the eastern turf
courts championships and, hence,
was an overwhelming favorite as the
match started today.

AKRON, Ohio (P.-One of the
worlds largest and strangest buildings,
with ends that peel like an orange, is
being erected at the Akron airport to
house two titans of the air, dirigibles

The building is the Goodyear-Zcp-

giant sky liners will be built for the
United States Navy.
The Woolworth Building and the
Washington Monument both could be
placed inside it, end to end. with room
to spare. 1t Is about city block wide.
From the top it looks like half of the
gas bag of one of the ZeppelinS to be
built In it. The ends are rounded. and
walls and roof form a parabolic arch.
The unusual form was adopted to
offer the least resistance to air currents
and eliminate wind eddies at ends,
perilous to dirigibles
Built entirely of steel. the entire
structure is on rollers. which allow it
to expand and contract freely with
changing temperatures.
Doors at either end for entrance Of
the airShipS are quarters of a globe.
known as the "orange peer' type, they
are mounted on wheels which run on
tracks with radius of 200 feet. Four

Average Distance
For Letters Sent
By Air 1,4OO Miles

The average airmail letter
travels a distance Of l 400 miles
and is flown by three different
pilots during its journey, accord
ing to survey recently COM
pleted by the American Air Trans
port Association.
The association, whose mem
bers fly more than 80 per cent
of the country's commercial air
mileage, reports that there is a
generally observed rule that no
pilot in mail passenger work shall
fly more than 500 miles in a sim
gle trip, relinquishing his controls
at the end of this time to another
pilot, who takes it on the next
500-mile leg.
Each pilot spends less than five
hours in the air at time and
seldom leaves his regular route.
Constant flying of one airway
makes him thoroughly familiar
with every landmark and pos
sible emergency landing field and
raises the safety factor to the
highest possible point.
