Locally, Catholic University

after as will Labor Day find

from two to three weeks.
While the major league base
ball races are being settled and
the world series disposed of,
thousands of elevenS throughout
the country will be busy in
the process Of whipping their
material into machine-like ef-
fectiyeneSS, and the moment the
baseball series is over, you will
see q sudden transition in sport
ing interest from baseball to
that dear old football which
will be good for about a 10
week splurge all over every
sports page in the land.
The coming season locally is
to see the induction Of night
football into the sports curricu-

With night gridiron games
available, the public has an OPP

this season to determine
whether it has been the ponies

Before leaving the Tigers for
Chicago, Bucky says, Bob spent
a busy day visiting friends and

"Betcha a box of cigars

would say.

flying places in the tourney held
at Indian Spring.
The Woodmont pro, who has
done little playing Of late, intends
to practice daily over the Fresh
Meadow course. Thorn's game
has improved greatly this year
and there's no telling what he
may accomplish at Fresh Meadow.

|GIRL ATTRACTS
| IN NET DEBUT

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Aug. 20.
Tall, blonde, pretty, jolly-that'S
the description Of Americas next
women's national tennis cham
pion if Marjorie c'Midge'O Nor
rill continues at the speed she
flashed at Forest Hills yesterday
in trouncing Clara Louise Zinke
in love sets in her tournament
debut.
Ranked but eleventh in the
! national listings. the Bay State
girl was nevertheless placed at
No. 2 in the draw by the tourna-
ment officials, who were prompted
to honor her in this manner by
the impressive string of wins she
ran up in the early weeks Of the
summer season.
And Midge is sure doing her
best to live up to the officials
opinion Of her abilities.
So impressive, indeed, was
Miss MOrrill's victory that
she has uSurped the position
Of Mrs. Lawrence Harper -
favOrite among the American
cOntenders for the singles
laurelS.
And If she continues her fast
pace against Dorothy Workman
today and Ethel Burkhardt and
Sarah Palfrey in the next two
rounds she will enter her semi
final match with Betty Nuthall
a favorite to conquer the British
girl.
Dorothy Workman should prove
little more than a warm-up for
the mighty Midge. Ethel Burk.
hardt. eighth ranking American
player, who must first dispose
of Virginia Rice today, will prob
ably put Miss Morrill, to a stiffer
test when they clash tomorrow.
Betty Nuthall anticipates little
difficulty getting by her own
third-round match. It seems odd
to call the third ranking player
Of the country highest ranking OF
any Of the American contenderS,
a "set-up," but that's all one can
say for Edith Gross against Miss
Nuthall. The Frisco girl has
gone way back this summer since
she returned from abroad with
the Wightman Cup team, and If
she gets as many as five games
from Betty she'll be doing well.
Another girl who has
changed surprisingly since
her return from England and
who races . difficult assign
ment today is Sarah Palfrey,
last years darling Of the
gallery.
Sarah, too, seems to have been
affected adversely by the trip
abroad, and unless she can sud.
denly find her form Of 1929
again, there is every reason to
believe she will be beaten by
Dorothy WeiSel. the diminutive
California Miss, who yesterday
conquered Virginia Hilleary in
straight sets.
Feature matches today are:
Mrs Lawrence A. Harper VS.. Mrs.
]. Dallas Corbiere.
Baroness Levi VS.. Josephine cruick-

Earl Whitehill was escorted
from the field on the shoulders
Of several civilians yesterday
when he won his eleventh game
In O row. Two visiting tallies in
the six paved the way to his 2to-1
triumph.
Johnson's two-bagger, Funk'S
out, Alexander's single and NC
Manus' grounder wiped out an
early period washington advan-
tage. Whitehill was. touched up
for q counter In the second.
Alvin Crowder will be used In

due for Bill Killefer. The Browns

who was traded for Heine ManuSh

n the writer has been asked
that question once he has been
asked It . thousand times during
the past few days.
According to my best source OF
information, Manager Bucky Har-
riS Of Detroit, the little left handler
has finally learned to pitch in
stead Of throw. Earl got away to
q bad start this season.
Bucky says his control was too
good. In other words Whitehill
was putting the ball down the
alley and enemies were socking 1t.
Then Earl, who Is nobody'S
dumb!head, started working the
corners. George Uhle, it is said,
dealt out the tip. And right away
Whitehill made good on it.
On June 20 Washington
beat Detroit and Whitehill.

Scarf of CoIorful Richness
BIZ MARY MARSHALL.

squares of red, yellow. blue, green and
purple There were two shades Of blue
and pink square that made UP enough
colors TO give a different one for each
square.
The little squares were about inches
each way, and they were made OF crepe
de chine. However, they might be MADE
of ribbon. Unless you we're making a
number Of scarfs, you could hardly use
different colored crepe de chine for
each of the squares. But you could buy
ribbon OF the different shades desired
and make the SQUARES of that. The
ribbon should be just the size you want
the squares. The two cut sides should
be turned under to make the squares
Just the size OF the measurement across
the ribbon. The squares are fastened
on with slanting overland in black
twisted silk.
AS you will see from the sketch, the
squares are applied overlapping each
other. Any color scheme may be car
ried out. If you have n tan dress, you
may use a cream-colored scarf with
squares of red, orange, light yellow,
dark yellow, brown, tan. Or you may
use squares of different shades of green
and yellow Any color scheme may be
worked out tremendously If you prefer
not to use the Inform bright color

Everyday Psychology
Is Character Inherited ?
DE- pR. IEssE " sPRoWLs.

I am continually being asked Did
inherit my character from my parents?"
What my inquirers expect. Of course, Is
a Yes" for an answer. They decided
on that long ago. They are really want
ing to know what reasons l may offer
for Justification of their Yes"
must answer in the negative. And
now for the reasons.
I suppose that no two persons in all
the world agree on definition of char
acter. And since the term character"
is really indefinable and only partially
analyzable, it amounts TO an unknown
quantity or quality. So We are likely
to think of character as that some
thing" in our makeup which originated
outside ourselves. And we begin to Won
der what our parents had to do with 1t.
as a rule think much about our So
called character until we find ourselves
falling short of our ambitions. SO we
are likely to attribute these shortcom
ings to others. No one gets much salts
faction out of admitting his or her own
weaknesses. And so we turn to our an
cestors..
Suppose these reasons for the mo"
are still unconvincing You will get
the same answer from your own obser-
vations Everywhere you look you will
find children in the same family who
differ enormously in character, however
you define it. Just look about you and
YOU will conclude that whatever char
acter is 1t does not seem to run true In
very many families.
