AMERICAN GIRLS 0N THE DEFENSIVE
Foreign Tennis Stars Reach Semi-Final Round Of Play

Forest Hills, N. Y, Aug. 22 P- The girls who are attempting to keep the national women's tennis championship in America found themselves strictly on the defensive today.
 The foreign stars, Betty Nuthall of England and Baroness Georgio Giacomo Levi of ltaly-shared the semi-fnal round brackets with the last two surviving American, Mrs. Anna Harper of Los Angeles and Marjorie Morill of Dedham, Mass; and judged on their play in the pre- vious rounds, seemed to hold an ex- cellent chance of success.
 The 19-year-old English star has yet to lose a set, a record approach ed by none of the other three. In the four matches in which she has en- gagged Bounding Betty" has drop ped total of only eight games for an average of two per match. On | the basis of these facts she was a clear-cut favorite today to defeat Miss Morrill, in their semi-nnal en- counter.
 The other semi-inal involving Mrs. Harper and Baroness Levi amounted to a toss-up. The black haired baroness, who was once Maude RosenbaGm of Chicago, has made a great hit with the galleries by her acrobatic tactics and never say-die spirit.
 Unknown to the average Ameri- when she reached the final round of the eastern grass court champion ship at Rye, this tanned and wiry young woman attained the semi finals here through sheer speed of foot, aggressiveness and courage,
 It was at the net that she beat young Josephine Cruickshank of Santa Ana, Calf, on Wednesday and it was at the net that she overcame | Penelope Anderson, Richmond, Va, stylist yesterday. In these two bril- | liant victories, both achieved in long three-set duels, the baroness gave an exhibition of dashing net play seldom seen in a womans match.
 Mrs. Harper. the fifth ranking played in the United tSates, also was forced to three sets before overcom- ing Mary Greet of Kansas City in the quarter-finals but relied today on her left-handed sharp shooting abil- ity to spike the Roman noblewom ans net game in their semi final fray.

 Valentine, who pitched for the Burritts, was accorded miserable support by his teammates and many of the tallies registered off him were the result of his teammates mis- plays.

Corbins 11-Workers 2

The Stanley Works entered its game with a lot of hope of upsetting the champions but this soon passed when Schuster became wild in the first few innings and allowed men to walk prior to a flock of base hits.
 The winners piled up four runs in the first two frames and except for a fukey triple and an error which gave the Workers two runs in the second they never even threat ened to score.
 In the fifth Corbins got six con- seCutive hits which with an error and a base on balls gave them five more runs. All of these were scored after two men had been retired.
 The Workers never gave up try ing and pulled several fine fielding plays which prevented the winners from piling up a much larger score. ny Cobb" Gaida made two sensa- tional running catches in left field for the winners. In the fourth inning he raced all the way back to base on diamond No. to nail Mangan's clout.
 Besides this q couple of nice double plays by the Workers infield prevented the Lockmakers from completing rallies in other innings
 JagloWski was in fine form and never had to bear down. He allow nine hits but kept them so well scattered that the Workers were un- able to get a man as far as second base except in the second inning when they scored On this occasion, Grail opened with single and Gaida shot hot liner inside of third base.
 Jasper made a stab for the t.-1 but it bounced off his glove and went into the road. When he recov- cred the ball he threw to Priesser who heaved wildly to the plate in an attempt to nail Gaida.
 Schuster had the misfortune of walking men at times when the fol- lowing batters came through with hits. He gave five passes and four of these resulted in runs.

League Standing

Although the two games being
 played this afternoon in the Rotar,-
 baseball league are the last ones on the league schedule, on the result of the battle between Paradise Park and Washington rests the question
 of the championship of the league.
 The entire matter hinges on wheth-
 CT the Paradise Park team beats Washington or not.

 will then be in a deadlock for the
 league championship with the 1 Washington crew.

tiflcation.

has under Amusement another slIapes-
ton by the Advisory Committee, that
IN order to preserve numerous natural
features In Rock Greek Park above
Boulder Bridge, several paths, now ex-
lStlng, be by-paSsed through the CON.
Struction Of small foot bridges.
