mot At ALL SURE
| SHE'LL KEEP TITLE
Betty NuthaII Is Big Threat
to Queen of Courts in
Play This Week.
BY VINCENT RICHARDS,

Professional Tennis Champion of the World
TENNIs fans who go to Forest
Hills, Long Island, N. Y, to see
the women's national champion
i ship, which starts today, are in
for a unique experience. They
are going to see ffelen Wills start out
in singles tournament in which there
isn't anything certain about the winner.
That may sound like heresy to any
one who is familiar with the record Of
the Berkeley belle. but even though she
hasn't given a set to anybody in two
or three years, I am not at all sure that
Helen Wills is going to be the national
champion on the following Saturday
night.
I am not betting that she won't be,
but II she doesn't show more stuff than
she did in the West Side Stadium a
week ago Friday at Saturday against
Betty Nuthall and Phoebe Watson in
the Wightman Cup contests Miss Wills
may be in for an unpleasant surprise.
Disappointed in Her Play.
was very much disappointed in the
play of the California girl in those
matches. She certainly wasn't the
player we have known her to be in the
past. 1t looks as though Miss Wills was
losing some of her hitting power and
as if she didn't have her old-time conf
dence.
Miss Wills just barely came through
by the skin of her teeth against Miss
Nuthall, and the English girl may be
SO encouraged by the closeness she came
to winning both the first and second
sets from her that she may be even
more dangerous If they meet this week
in the semi-fianls, as they should unless
a miracle happens.
If anybody is to dethrone. Miss Wills,
Miss Nuthall is the one TODD it. She
has the strokes and the confidence, and

Seek Jones' Title Helen Wills C1oum Menace Richards Says

she has one Of the best services any
Miss Jacobs has come along rapidly
since 1928, and she, too, may make it
hot for Helen should they come to-
gether In the final. Miss Jacobs Is in
the bottom half, while Miss Wills and
Miss Nuthall are in the opposite divi-
Sion.
But Miss Jacobs has a tough assign
ment on her hands to get into the final
Mrs. Watson Is in the same half with
her, and don't forget that Mrs. Watson
beat Helen the second in the Wightman
Cup matches. But 1t Is my guess that
4 they meet at Forest Hills again Miss
Jacobs will be the winner. She was q
pretty tired young girl when she went
up against Mrs. Watson in the inter-
national tests for she had q stih match
the day before against Miss Nuthall.
The field in this tournament is the
best In years to play for the women's
title. Mrs. Molla Mallory, one Of the
greatest champions we have had, will
be battling to regain her lost laurels,
and Miss Eleanor Goss Is also back in
the fray. Then there Is a host Of new
young players from all over the country,
particularly from California and Boston.
Tennis fans are going to have treat
every day they 60 out to Forest Hills.
Take my advice and keep your eye on
Miss Sarah Palfrey of Boston, Miss
Ethel Burkardt Of California, Miss Eve
Ign Parsons Of California and Miss Mary
Greet Of Kansas City. All four of them
are just beginning their big-time tennis
careers. although Miss Palfrey has been
winning honors In girls play for several
seasons. And you are going to hear a
good deal about them.
To sum up the situation, Miss Wills
should win the title for the sixth time.
but Miss Nuthall has almost an even
chance to come through, and Miss
Jacobs will also be very much in the
running. 1t ought to be the best
women's tournament in years.

Not long ago I was speaking of the
lesson that could be learned from
watching fine player like Harry
Cooper at the United States open.
One thing that became clear to me
in following him was that for long
wood shots he took a full pivot that
pulled his left heel off the ground,
whereas for long approach shots the
heel remained down. There was a
slight turning of the left foot at the
ankle, Ia Joyce Wethered, who does
nothing else, even on her long tee
shots. Also bending in OF the left
knee.
The pivot for the long iron is al
most entirely a shoulder turn. In
other words, 1t Is q compact swing.
Cooper starts his hit with the
straight left arm. AS he does he
straightenS his left and braces
against it as he swings on through.
This brace anchors his body and
forces him to hit on through with
an arm swing entirely. Naturally
the braced left leg tends to make
the shot accurate.

Auto Race Drivers
Protest Ban Put
On Toy Machines
Say They Will Lose
$5OO,OOO by Changes
in Piston Displacement.

INDIANAPOLIS (P1-AsSerting they
stand to lose approximately $500, 900 by
the changes, automobile race drivers
are protesting too rigid enforcement of
the American Automobile AsSociat1 on s
rules abolishing the TOY racers" of 81
cubic inch piston displacement.
The drivers, including Leon Duray
Ralph De Palma. Harry Hartz and
Tommy Milton, the latter a builder OF
race cars since he left the track, aired
their opinions while here for the 500
mile race May 80.
Fred S. Dusenberg. another builder
of race cars, was appointed to draft
the drivers complaints into proper form
for submission to the American Auto
mobile Association.
The new rules, the drivers pointed
out, will mean the virtual Scrapping of
race cars now being used, for they
hardly can be rebuilt to meet the new
requirements.
The regulations, effective with the
running of the 500-mile race here
May 80, 1880, provide for motors with
maximum of 366 cubic inches, and
for two-seated bodies The present
type Of speedster. is single seated and
the size of the motor is limited to 81 u
cubic inches piston displacement.
The 1880 rules also call for two
braking systems and standard trans
missions. Superchargers will be barred
and no more than two valves to the
cylinder will be permitted. Super
chargers are a valuable asset to the
type of racers now in use.
Representatives of various motor
companies who listened to the drivers
complaints here were not wholly in ac-
cord with their views. They pointed out
that with but little added expense,
stock models of passenger cars could
be converted into race cars.

T|DEWATER TRAIL
WARNING ISSUED
Ruts, Bumps, Loose Gravel
and Deep Sand Abound,
Autoist Is Told.

The picturesuueness the historic set
ting and the fragrance of its adjoining
pasture lands has been heralded con-
cerning the Tidewater Trail of Vir-
ginia. But, would-be motorist. be
warnedl Do not attempt this alluring
trip in wet weather or dry.
The above praises are sung truly, but
the road of travel is long and difficult,
and one is only too apt to forget its
otherwise pleasing attributes. In time
it is to be hoped that all will be differ
ent. But at present, in spite OF the B.
cent gasoline tax law of the Old Domtn-
ion, there is no promise.
More than so miles abound with ruts,
bumps. loose gravel, deep sand, and
what one does not want. This condi-
| tion is in dry weather. Little drops of
water, many drops of rain in no way
! improve affairs. They are only made
worse-dangerouS.
The lure of the ocean beaches is very
appealing these months. Virginia Beach,
one of the nearest to the National Capt.
tai, is we'll known for its attractions to
residents of Washington. But, If going,
the motorist is strongly advised to take
the roadway leading through Richmond
and not to take the Tidewater Trail out
of Fredericksburg. One may travel on
| the odd 220 miles on this route with
I
Not fraction of a mile of bad road
| exists.
For diversion and for the passing
through historical points of interest the
motorist can drive to Norfolk by way
of Petersburg, route of slightly greater
mileage but equally fine roadway.
An accompanying map, prepared by
the American Automobile Association,
will show the future traveller the vari-
Gus routes and mileages. 1t will disclose
to him, too, the bad stretch of road on
the Tidewater Trail, as indicated by
the broken lines.
Sections of both routes contain many
places of interest. Both Revolutionary
and Civil War deeds are commemorated
by monuments and tablets. Some of
| the most momentous events of Ameri-
can history took place along the road
ways, most of which is known to the
motorist already, but various signs will
refresh his memory and bring out fur
ther instances of Importance.
Historical places of interest begin at
Alexandria. They continue as far as
the motorist journeys,
Arriving at Newport News, the motor
/ list may either take the ferry, which
runs every As minutes daily and every

Norfolk, or he may go over the new
James River Bridge into Norfolk.
From thence it is but about 20 miles
to the ocean at Virginia Beach.

HIGH LEVELS HELD /.
IN MOTOR OUTPUT
Cram Predicts Increased
Production Rather Than
Decline.

= In keeping with the amazingly high
levels maintained thus far throughout
the year, automotive production con-
cludes the third week in June at pace
which gives every indication of
strengthening during the next month
instead of continuing in a seasonal re-
cesSion, according to 3. H. Cram, presi-
dent of Grams Automotive Reports,
Inc. Contrary to the usual trend, fac
tory employment has shown increases,
and despite the fact that orders for
steel and iron have shown decreases
this month no signs have manifested
themselves that automobile production
is nearing marked decline. On, the
other hand, June output, while possibly
lower than that of the preceding month,
undoubtedly will be in excess Of the
same period last year.
New Models Soon Under Way.
Production of new models intro
duced should be well under way by the
first of the month, and with several
other changes yet to be announced
schedules for July should show num-
Der of increases, and output for that
month in all probability will exceed
that of June. 1t is certain that the sea-
sonal recession anticipated for the final
days of this month will be considerably
less than had been estimated. The pro-
posed heavy production in July should
offset to great extent the decline which
will be experienced by some of the other
manufacturers who have been operating
at capacity since the introduction of
new models, several months ago,
Demand for used cars is improving,
and the heavy stocks resulting from
trade-in transactions accompanying
new car sales are being reduced gradu-
ally. New car stocks remain satisfac-
tory, despite declines in sales volume in
some centers.
Truck Production Drops.
RecesSions in volume of truck pro-
duction were manifest during the cur
rent week, continuing the downward
trend which became apparent a week
ago after the waning of a short-lived
stimulation. Exactly how long this de-
cline will continue it is difficult to esti-
mate, but it is highly probable that sew
eral weeks will lapse before output
steadies.
With heavy inventories attracting the
keenest interest of the manufacturers,
tire production continues to be check
cred. There are producers who still are
operating at capacity, others who are
retrenching heavily, and yet others who
maintain only conservative levels. Man
ufacturers are increasing their concen-
tration upon the development of diver
sified service with their dealers, who are
at present well stocked for the Summer
trade.

Ten-Foot Traffic Lanes Held Needed
For Motor Cars on Rural Pavements

During the last few years rural pave
ment building has been continually un-
dergoing readjustment, according TO E.
E. Duffy, highway educational writer
Experience and tests have shown the
wisdom OF making concrete thicker at
the pavement edges, better surface fin-
ish, and number of other improve
ments that have gone to make the pave
ment smooth, efficient and of low cost
of upkeep.
At present progressive highway build
ers and communities are giving atten-
ton to the important matter of rural
pavement width. Clearly roads for
modern traffic should have wider lanes
than those deemed suitable for horse
drawn vehicles. The 16-foot roadway
that well served slow moving buggies
and wagons gives no margin of safety

URGES CLEAN MOTORS.

Veteran Dealer Points Out Reasons
for Care of Engine.
Keep the engine of the automobile
clean''
That's the advice given by Rudolph
Jose, veteran automobile dealer. Mr.
Jose says that there are many good
reasons why the motorist should take
this step in motor car maintenance
and enumerates some of them as fol-
lows:
Accumulated grease is definite fire
hazard
A dirty engine frequently becomes
generally neglected one.
Caked dirt and oil may be covering
up loose bolts, cracks, etc.
1t Is a handicap in selling or trading
These reasons certainly should be
sufficient to indicate to the motorist
the Importance of keeping his motor
car engine clean." Mr.. Jose concludes.
Evening star., 1929-06-30

for fast-moving vehicles of today The
18-foot road width is in many instances
adequate for a two-lane highway. How
ever, various communities are finding II
highly desirable and economical to in
stall 20-foot pavements.
There is growing belief that most
pavements should be designed in units
of 10-foot traffic lanes. In and near
population centers commercial traffic
is increasing. Here outlets to the
country should be of 40, so and 80 foot
widths. The 10-foot lane gives ample
space for each car and inSures greater
speed with a greater safety factor.
The United States Bureau of Public
Roads recently issued a statement urg-
ing the construction of roads of a mini
mum width Of 20 feet where there is
much bus and truck travel.
