FORECLOSURE SUIT
 HAS STRANGE ANGLE
Women Who Bought Property Together Involved in Litigation

One of the most involved fore closure actions brought into the city court this year was heard Thursday afternoon by Judge Stanley J. Ira ceski, who will probably not rcnier a decision until he has returned from vacation which he will take next week.
 Miss Anna A. Reilly is seeking foreclosure of a second mortgage for s5,o00, against Mrs. Eliza beth Roche of 12 Lake court, and asks for a foreclosure and possession of proo- erty at the corner of East Main and East streets. Mrs. Roche and George Reilly, brother of Miss Reilly, were partners for several years in the real estate business, and are still part ners. On-July 13, 1925, Mrs. Roche and MT. Reilly had a chance to buy the land in question for about s17,- 900, and each put up about s6.oOO, there being a first mortgage for s6,- 900 held by the New. Britain Savings bank. Another s5.000 was needed to complete ' the deal and Miss Reilly was induced by her brother to loan that amount. and take a second mortgage. Mrs. Roche's name was placed on the mortgage as sole own CT of the property
 Real estate lessened in value since the date of purchase of the property, and is now worth about s13,00O in- stead of s17,000.
 Miss Reilly wants her s5.000 back, and brought action for foreclosure. In the city court it developed that Mrs Roche had believed that she was partner to Miss Reilly. and fought the foreclosure proceedings on the ground that the two women were partners and both equally li- able on the mortgage. Mrs. Roche, 1t is reported, was backed up in her defense by Mir. Reilly, who admitted that the two women were partners on the deal, and now Judge Ira ceski has the task of unraveling the facts presented during the hearing and trying to determine if the two women were really partners, and if so, what to do about the foreclosure.

only because it grew in q sort of botanical gar
den, now neglected and semi-abandoned. The
tree, like many plants that grow in deserts,
has no leaves Or rather, it forms small, mar
row leaves that drop off almost at once, leav-
ing the long, thin, switch-like green-skinned
branches all naked.
The intisy rubber tree is unique among all
rubber producing plants in that its milky sap.
or latex, yields rubber of very high grade di-
rectly without the troublesome dipping and
smoking of the primitive Brazilian process, or
the more modern chemical treatments used TN
the East Indies.
All that the natives needed to do was cut
long cash in the bark of the tree and let the
latex ooze out. When they came back the
next day there would be q strip of pure rubber.

ON your desk, lying stuck in the cut. and all
they needed to do was take hold of one end

balls and took them directly to market. It
was the simplest form of rubber collecting that
has ever been practiced.
RUT it was also the most destructive. In
their eagernesS to get the longest strips,
the natives cut gashes spirally round every

cuted plants that survived the massacre to carry
on was the thoroughness Of their adaptation
to desert life. Real desert plants are usually
organized to offer stubborn resistance to des-
perate environments. and the intisy Is one Of
the best organized desert plants.
It's leadess, switch-like stems, coated with
wax, yield very little water to the demands Of
the arid air, and the gum that forms in every
wound effectively stops bleeding of sap. Finally.
the intisy has one Of the most efficient Of water
reservoirs, slowed safely underground, In its
roots DR.. swingle says no other plant has
anything quite like it.
Each root is thickened In a series Of sausage

EASTERN TENNIS
 STARS BEAT WEST
Take Three Matches Out of Five
 From Ranking Players

Forest Hills, N. Y. Sept. P- ! Eastern tennis stars, for the second successive year, have repulsed their rivals in the Annual East-West series.
 Althoguh without the services of Bill Tilden and Frank Hunter the eastern team consisting of three New Jersey youths and one New Yorker, overcame a combination drawn from the middle west. far west and southwest yesterday by a count of three matches to two. With Tilden and Hunter choosing not to participate, the west was left in possession of the highest ranking players in Johnny Doeg, Santa Mon ica, No. 3; and George Lott, Chica- go, No. 4 But it was these two players who proved the vests un- doing. They lost both singly and to- gether to give the east the necessary three matches out of five.
 Lott and Doeg retained national doubles championship on Saturday at Brookline, Mass. only to bow to John Van Ryn of East Orange, and Gregory Mangin of Newark, just two days later in what proved 10 be the deciding match of the East West series by scores of 3-6. 6-3, S-6. In this respect history repeat ed itself for the champions were humbled by the same team here last year.
 Almost as surprising as the doubles was the defeat of Lott by Frank Shields of New York, 6-3 6-2, and of Doeg by Mangin, 6-2 GA.
 Berkeley Bell, the fighting Texan, figured in both of the western vic tories, stopping J. Gilbert Hall of South Orange, N. J.. G., 4-6, 6-S, and teaming with Ellsworth Vines, of Pasadena, Calf. to be;) Hall and Shields, 6-4 CA. Bell and Mangin, substitutes on the Davis Cup team, were the outstanding players of the day,

Detroit, Sept. LP-Gar Wood, the silver-haired pilot, is specdboat champion of the world for at least another year.

 The Miss America TX averaged 77.390 miles an hour yesterday, compared with thc former record of 75.2S7 made by Gar Wood in the Miss America VIII last year. The eighth averaged 77.253 yesterday 79.1S5.
 Miss Marion Barbara Carstairs must return to England without the trophy, although she has spent about S50o,000 in efforts to acquire it. This was her third attempt to lift the trophy held by Wood since he won it ct the Isle of Wight in 1920 Miss Carctairs has the distinction of being tho first challenger eyer to fin ish a heat in a Harmaworth race asainct Woods hydroplGnca.

 New York. Sept. LP-At Is years of age Henri Cochet was just an obscure French boy industriously banging a tennis ball against a wall on the covered courts of Lyons.
 At IS Big Bill Tilden was lanky kid still seven years away from his first national title.
 But at IS a tov-headed youngster named Sidney B. Wood, Jr. is a veteran of three years of big time international play and has become the sensation of tho tennis season through brilliant victories over lead ing American stars.
 A happy go-lucky kid of the Tom Sawyer stripe. this New York youngster who has grown up in a tennis atmosphere has all the con- fidence in the world.
 On the opening day of the Sea bright invitation he announced to whom it might concern that he had found his forehand again" and in tended to capture the singles trophy.
 Few took this seriously. All eyes were on Ellsworth Vines, q player of Woods own age from Pasadena who had leaDcd into the headlines over night by his play in winning the Metropolitan turf court title.
 But when the day of the Sea Nrir rJo still in the tournament, and arrayed aaginst Vines. In the title match he made a show of the coast lad, soft balling him to death. and allowing him just four games in three sets.
 Woods plan of battle, designed to pull the teeth Of Vines hard driving game, would have done credit to a Cochet or a Kozeluh.
 TO prove this was no f1ukc Wood proceeded 10 win the Southampton invitation the next week, beating Bryan Grant. George Lott, Franl, Shields and Winner Allison.
 To find the explanation of these seeming tennis miracles ono must follow Woods career back a few ccacons.
 In 1927, 5 year old kid in short pants, he played Rene LaCoste at Wimbledon and took five games in three sets from the reigning world champion.
 In 1928, at IS, he all but defeated Jack Crawford. Australian star. in the United States singles cham pionships. Last year he was in i'll health and played little tennis.
 A nephew of Julian z. Myricl. former president of the United Statcs Lawn Tennis association, and of Watson Washburn, one time Davis Cup player. Wood learned the game at the famous West Side Ten his club Forest Hills.
 At 14 he was runner-up to Junior Coen for the national boys title.

P. F. Corbin Team Quoted to Favorte to Defeat SoEols in Playof-Jaglosld to Oppose Partyka On Mound - Contest Will Be Started at Walnut Hill Park at 5:15 O'Clock - Clubs Ready for Hard Battle-Second Game Next Saturday.

With the P. & r.

Owing 10 the early dusk, the starting time for the game has, been advanced 15 minutes.
 Despite the fact that the majority of the fans favor the Industrial league pennant winner as the strong CT and better balanced outfit, there is nothing certain about the outcome of tonight's battle. The Sokols have a combination that never knows when it is beat and the team gen. orally travels its fastest pace when the going is the toughest.
 Although no announcements have been made from either camp. it is almost a certainty that Jagloski and Partyka will oppose each other on the mound. This indicates a pitch CTS battle of the most interesting sort and as a consequence, a tight battle all the way through.
 The teams will line up with the players they used during the regular season and there isn't any question but that each will have the strong est possible combination in the field The Corbin team is given the edge because of it's terrific hitting power but whether this will avail against the shoots of Partyka, recognized as one of the leading twirlers in the en- tire City league, remains to be secn
 In case of rain, the managers of the two teams will be required to set q date for the second game. It may take place Wednesday evening a1 both clubs will be anxious to give their pitchers a rest before the sec ond contest scheduled for Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
