 IN TENNIS RACE
Sixteen Women Net Stars Battle
 for Helen'S Grown

Forest Hills, N. Y, August 20 (P' Helen Wills Moody as national women's tennis champion was cer- tain today to go to some one of 16 players only about half of whom are old enough to vote.
 In the forefront of the scramble for the title were such youngsters as Sarah Palfrey of Brookline, Mass, who will not be IS years old until next month, Betty Nuthall of England, who was 19 last spring: Helen Marlowe Of Los Angeles and Dorothy Weisel of Sacramento, who are just emerging from the girls ranks, Mary Greet of Kansas City and Dorothy Workman of Los An geles.
 It was one of these comparative lowe. who provided the principal sensation of the second round yes terday by upsetting Eleanor Goss New York veteran and seventh ranking player of the country, 7-5, S-7.
 Miss Nuthall. the English chal- lenger, crushed Mrs. Ary J. Lamme Of Rye, N. Y, 6-1, 6-1, and faced Edith Cross of San Francisco in the third round today Miss Palfrey won from Mrs. B. r. Stcnz of New York ir the second round by the identi- cal score of 6-1, 6-1. Miss Palfrey and Miss Nuthall, incidentally. are paired together in the doubles championship and opened their partnership yesterday with an easy victory.

came in with DarroN on third. Ar gosy then dragged a grounder to Bucheri and Mickey had to throw to first for an out because he didn't have a chance to shut off a run. Noonan walked but Schaefer hit to Haber and was thrown out at first,
 Srencer's pitches came in so fast that both Mickey Noonan, his catch CT, and Ed Crowley, the umpire. were bobbing and weaving fearful that one might come through in the dim light that neither could see. He cut the plate perfectly and his curve took a dip that absolutely fooled the batters. More than one good sticker walked to the plate and looked fool ish trying to see the greased streak of lightning coming down the alley.
 Up until the eighth frame, Stanley Rule appeared helpless before the masterful pitching of Haber. Fafnirs scored one run in the first when Venture was hit by pitched ball, got around to third and then came home when Casey threw badly to first on a slow, high bounder by Ferguson. Stanley Rule, however, tied the count in the second when Schacfer doubled and rode home on Gilrs single.
 In the third, Fafnirs got another when Venture walked, was sacri- feed 10 second. took third on -krausc's inficld hit and came home on a play from short to first. They got two more in tn sixth when Haber led off with q double to Cen- ter field and scored when Schaefer dropped Kania's high poke near the tree in right field. kania scored second when Venture singled to right. That ended the Fafrir teams scoring.
 Stanley Rule couldn't score after the first inning until the eighth. Then came the fireworks.
 Joe kania at third put in d bril- liant night for Fafnirs with seven perfectly hannlcd chances. Walicki played well at second as did Bu- chcri at short. Jim OBrien in left field displayed the graceful way 70 cover fly balls, picking ona off near the fence that was really a bcauti- full each. Darrow starred at short- stop for the Rulers.
 None of the Dragons got more than one hit during the game. Wendroski. Noonan and Gill each got two bingles for the Rulers

League Standing z

Two great rallies, one in the eighth and one in the ninth inning by the Stanley Rule & Level base ball team, turned what looked like certain defeat into a brilliant vic tory over the Fafnir Bearing com hination last night in the Industrial League at Walnut Hill park. The Rulers went into the eighth frame with the score to 1 against them. They tied the count in this inning and scored three more runs in the ninth to win out to 1. Spencer was thrown into the beach in the eighth frame relieving Casey who had twirled up to that time and his blnding speed held the Fafnir team helpless before him. In the other game, Landers engaged in a swat fest 10 swamp the New Britain Machine under a 14 to 1 count.
 Games Tomorrow
 Two games arc scheduled in the league tomorrow. The league lead ing r. &; F. Corbin combination will play Stanley Works and Landers will clash with the Gascos. Both games will be played at 5:30 o'clock.
 stanley Rule 1-Fafnirs
 Three runs down to Fafnirs at the beginning Of the eighth inning, the Stanley Rule &; Level baseball team with one out, staged brilliant three run rally to tie the score and con- ,1- l., 1S of the ninth to get three more runs and win one of the most exciting and thrilling games seen in the In dustrial League this season. The final score was to 1.
 Stanley Rule had everything in ters with the punch to come through in the pinChes. It had the base run ners to cross the plate when these hits were made and it caught "Lefty' Haber just when he weakened enough to give them the start that meant the finish for Fafnirs as far as last nights game was concerned.
 Besides all these, Stanley Rule had Spencer. Binding speed, aided by a heavy black cloud that cast a dim pail over the diamond. and a 1 tricky curve worked to perfection by the veteran Noonan behind the plate. caused four batters to take three strikes standing up a the plate and two others to be easy outs on taps along the ground
 When Spencer relieved Hal Casey in the last half of the eighth with the score tied. Fafnirs didn't have q chance. Casey had pitched brilliant | ball for seven full innings but the best he had wasn't enough to hold the Fafnir crew in hand. The Dra- gons had hit safely seven times, had scored four runs and seemingly had the game tucked away.
 Then the storm broke. Haber con tributed to his own downfall by walking the second and third men to ! face him. He made a bad throw to i firat, Then Argosy and Noonan sin Sled in succession three runs were in. This tied the score, Again in the i ninth frame after Gill was out. Ha- Der walked Spencer Jcrvis buntcd ! and Haber made a poor throw 10 , second to play forCeout. Darrow i hit q high fly into right field, Ven | turo got under it. both hands on the i ball and dropped it. one run scoring. ] Wendroski then hit double to tho i center field fence and another run

LOW COTTON PRICE
BLAMED ON FORD
Ex-Head of Exchange Says
Manufacturer and RosenWaId
Force Quotations Down.
BY the Associated Press

Arthur Marsh, former president of
the New York Cotton Exchange. sug-
gested today before Senate subcom-
mittee investigating cotton exchanges
that Henry Ford and Julius Rosenwald
OF Sears, Roebuck g. Co. be called to
tell how the condition of the cotton
farmer of the South could be improved.
The proposal was preliminary to
an attack on methods used by the con-
Germs of which Ford and Rosenwald
are heads. Marsh said that Ford was
an outstanding exponent of high wages
for labor, but that his buyers were re
morseless" in using every possible ex-
pediency" to drive down the price of
cotton fabrics, used by Ford's plants
in large quantities.
The witness also told the subcommit-
tee that buyers of Sears, Roebuck &
Co.; Montgomery Ward 81 Co. and
Woolworth's, who use one-fifth of the
cotton goods manufactured, were the
most remorseless drivers down" of cot
ton prices.
He added that in an effort to meet
competition of the chain stores, indie
pendent dry goods stores had organ
lied buying syndicates with great pur-
chasing power.
"All are combined" he said, "to
throw the risk Of price back on that
poor devil (the cotton farmer), who
cannot help himself"

TREASURY SALARY
BOOST REQUESTED
100000 Declared Neces-
sary to Raise Morale of
Underpaid Workers.

Promotions and increased pay for
more than 500 low-paid employees of the
Treasury Department are included in
the Treasury-Post ONCE Department
appropriation bill, now before the
House.
An item Of 100000 is carried in the
bill, which would be used, it was ex-
planned by Chairman Wood of the APP
preparations committee, Ito permit Of
increases within the grades to those
employees who are two or more salary
steps away from the rates of pay to
which they are eligible under their eff
cheney ratings"
Most of these employees for whom pay
raises are planned are in the office of
Treasurer of the United States, in the
custodial service and lower clerical
ranks.
$50 to 500 Increase Planned.
"The amount allowed will provide in
creases of $50 and in some cases 500
TO those employees in the under
average grades" Chairman Wood ex-
planned, where heretofore the in
adequacy of the appropriations has
prevented promotions based upon the
efficiency rating"
The pay raises were recommended by
Undersecretary of the Treasury Ogden
l.. Mills, who explained to the appro-
priations committee the reasons for
making such recommendations and dis
closed for the first time the Treasury
policy toward promotions.
when the 1881 estimates were under
consideration" said Mr.. Mills, "it de-
veloped that in number of Offices
there we're employees whose salaries
were at rates of from one to five steps
removed from their eligible salaries
under their efficiency ratings, many of
who were grades where the average of
the salaries was below the grade
average, but for whom promotions
could not be granted, owing to lack of
funds. The classification act presumes
that salaries shall be fixed on the basis
of efficiency ratings. When salaries
are out of line so much as four and five
steps from eligible salaries, as de-
termined by the efficiency ratings, a
situation Is created which inevitably
leads to encouragement and lowered
morale on the part of the employees.
The promotions recommended rep
resentS less than one-half of per cent
Of the total compensation for personal
services in the Treasury Department"
General Promotion Opposed.
Mr.. Mills said he had opposed gen.
eral one-step promotion for all en-
ployes because of the WEIGH act in
creases, which had taken place about
10 months before.
