Jennings Play Excellent.
The high spot of the match was the
general excellence Of Jennings. His
work in all departments was Of high
order, but his exhibition at the net
was, as it has been throughout the
tournament, especially spectacular.

improved remarkably as play progressed

Clouds on the financial sky lifted to-

good for continuing the present per

Hoover said prediction of deficit that
would prevent continuing the reduction
was unwarranted. and Secretary Mel

lower schedules would be continued. AS
the reduction authorized by Congress
for this year was not made continuing,
new legislation will have to be passed
or the previous higher rates win return.

NEED OF SUCCESSION
!. LAW IN BRITAIN SEEN
Suggestion Based on Birth of
Daughter Instead of Son to
Duchess of York.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. August 23.-The Daily
Sketch says birth Of daughter instead
of son to the Duke and Duchess Of
York has necessitated passage Of spe-
cial act Of Parliament to put beyond a
question the succession to the throne.
The principal point Of the papers
contention is that the British law of
primogeniture does not apply TO sisters.
Thus If there Is no male hsir, two or
more sisters become co-heiresses, and
unless Parliament regularizes their posi-
tions the Princess Elizabeth and her
baby sister conceivably may some day
become co-heiresses to the throne.
This would create an impossible posi-
ton. the paper says, and the crown
might even go into allegiance The con-
tingency is recognized as remote, but 1t
is contended the provision against it is
necessary.
