BARE LEGS IN TENNIS
REBUFFED IN BRITAIN

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 25.-The campaign OF
American and British girls to popular
lie bare-legged play in the womens
tennis championships this season seems
to have met with a rebuff.
Woman players in the title events at
Wimbledon will be asked to wear stock
ings, the London Evening News reports
today. Furthermore, an off1cial Of the
All-English Lawn Tennis Club is quoted
as forecasting an early and authorita-
tive statement on the subject that has
agitated Wimbledon players and fans
since Helen Wills and other stars APP
peared bare-legged in matches on the
Continent.
The mother of Betty Nuthall, youth
full British star, Is one who looks with
disapproval on undraped legs on the
courts.
TT may be COOL but don't think 1t
attractive" Mrs. Nuthall announced
For this reason think 1t will die out.
No doubt girls who have acquired the
habit would fall in with any suggestion
from the authorities

YOHN HENNESSEY and Yoshiro
Ohta gave Washington net fans
a novel exhibition of back court
~ dueling yesterday In the final
match OF the Davis Cup series
staged as an exhibition on the Chevy
Chase Club courts after Johnny Van
Ryn has clinched the zone semi-final
for the Americans by winning over
Tamio Abe
unanimous in agreeing that HenneSsey
showed himself a master of court
strategy in adopting the tactics he did
with the Nippon who had created such
a sensation Friday in his defeat Of Van
Ryn.
Wisely discarding his short game
with its spectacular element and Incl
dentally its invitation for placements
to such a hard-hitting opponent as
Ohta had shown himself to be, Hen
Messy literally played from baseline to
baseline, matching Ohta's game even
to the measure of executing his strokes
with one Of equal speed and more &C
curacy. Be it said for the japanese
player however, that it was not so diff
cult matter to match his speed yes
terday as it would have been on Friday.
A serious attack of Charley horse" in
the muscles of his right arm and left
leg kept him confined to his room at
the club until match time yesterday
afternoon and noticeably leSSened the
power of his strokes and the remarkable
control which had been the features
of his play against Van Ryn.
Nevertheless, Hennessey showed keen
judgment in his analysis of Ohtas Of
fensive play, and fed him the balls In
such manner as to keep the wiry
fastener on the defense fully two
thirds of the time, wearing him down
with long rallies until the inevitable
net or out was called against him.
Tamio Abe, although a loser to Van
Ryn, outplaced him, stroke analysis
reveals, and was successful In keeping
the American away from the net, where
he is at his best. Abe's lobs were I'M
cannily accurate. Van Ryn's smashing
ever, and his ability to cover court and
to work his opponent out of position
combined to give him the edge on
colorful encounter.
With his tenacious Side-line attack,
refusing 10 resort to playing safe, the
Nippon won the admiration of the gal
lery for his courage. No matter how
hard pressed, he drove consistently for
corner or line. Less than two dozen
balls fell along the center line from his
racket in the entire match.
From the standpoint of stroke execu-
ton, Johnny Van Ryn stands out as
the logical successor to Big Bill Tilden,
critics have said and those who watched
his performance at Chevy Chase Club
need no convincing on this point Van
Ryn could not execute an unorthodox
stroke If he tried and it is doubtful
If he could make an ungraceful shot
His game might aptly be described as

test. The Indianapolis youth enjoyed a
large margin of superiority and. al
though it was evident most of the time,
Ohta fought a grimly colorful, though
losing battle. His skidding drives came
across the net with considerably more
speed than his unorthodox grip would
indicate possible and he battled valiant
ly with the tide constantly going against
him.
In the opening match, Abe could not
sustain his accuracy against Van Ryn's
speed. His best tactics, which he used
to greatest advantage in the second set,
were a repetition of those which Ohta
had employed - ns-,ely, lobbing to
Johnny's weak overhead. Abe yester-
day was getting plenty Of depth on
these shots and Van Ryn's was driving
most of them over the baseline.

INVENT STORY
OF ABDUCTION
Trio From Good Shepherd
Home Admit kidnapping
Tale Is Hoax.

Desire to be somebody" to have
lived in a big city" and to have
had adventures caused three
orphan children to tell kidnapping
story, it was revealed today by po-
lice, following an investigation Of
a report Of J. w. Denham, one
half mile west of Edgewood, when
he found them asleep in tall grass
near his home Tuesday night.
The children, who gave the names
of Nettie, IS, Martha, II, and Mary
Bradley, 8, admitted today they were
inmates of the House Of Good Shep-
herd, Raymond street and the Bluff
road. They were returned to the
orphanage.
The children, using the alias
Bradley" left the orphanage Tues
day morning to see the world"
Two Of the girls are sisters, and
to preserve the adopted family
name of Bradley" they took in
their companion as a Bradley sis
ter, too"
When found near the Denham
home they told him they had been
kidnapped from their home in Gin
cinnati, o., by "dark-compleX-
Toned woman in a big car"
Efforts to trace relatives of the
children in Cincinnati proved fruit
less and when the children were
questioned again they admitted
their story was "fib."

Moore said the city plans to dis

Moore declared the Decent foot

tract provides for the Decent pay

declared.
The light company promised a

The 1929 lighting law provides for
installation of lights under the same
procedure as street Improvements,
making necessary specifications,
public hearings, advertising of bids
and assessment rolls.
If the public takes advantage of
the new law to any great extent it

additional department in the engi-
neering office, Moore pointed out in
his 1880 budget request. The law
permits property owners to petition

ion on the light statute.
