With continuation of present
trends in business conditions the

The normal curve of business
is steadily upward to meet the
increasing requirements of greater
population and increased con-
sumption, according 10 Lamont
He said:
"At this time in 1921 bust
ness was 22 points below the
normal level, while today 1t is
but 6 points below. Underlying
conditions are better today than
In 1921 and if the present rate
of progress continues, we should
be back to normal in two or
three months"
Operation Satisfactory
Lamont said that the steel
industry expected to carry on
at about the present rate for
sometime. He characterized the 81
per cent of capacity operation IN
the steel industry as satisfactory,
remarking that such an output
was equal to IS to 100 per cent

1929, he said. This figure, how

The Texan gave the champions the

his IN the third set. and they squared
the match by smashing him again in

MRS. TYSON TAKES
WEST GOLF TITLE
1927 Links Queen Regains
Title by Scoring Over
Dorothy Page.

BY the Associated Press.
7 y ANSAS CITY, August 30.-Mrs.
x G. w. Tyson of Kansas City,
IN queen of the Nations golfers in
1927, regained the women's
golf championship today by
Dorothy Page of Madison,
Wis, and 4, in the final match of
the twenty-eigl1th annual tournament
at the Hillcrest Country Club
Mrs. Tyson, who won the national
title as Miriam Burns Horn
three years ago and has been virtually
retired from competition since, shot
subpar golf on the afternoon round to
subdue the Wisconsin woman who yes
terday eliminated Mrs. o. S. Hill of
Kansas City, defending champion.
Mrs. Tyson, then Miriam Burns Horn,
won the women's Western first in 1928.
Miss Page Fav0rite.
Miss Page had been favored to win
today not only because tournament fol-
lowers considered her game the strong
er, but because they believed the sturdy
Wisconsin girl was better physically
equipped for the gruelh1g 36-hole match
over the rough Hillcrest course.
After a 43, one over women's par on
the out nine of the morning round, Mrs.
Tyson came in with 81 for an 80,
two under womens perfect figures, for
the mornings work. On the first nine
of the afternoon struggle she had SO,
three under par, and was one under par
for the five holes she needed on the
last nine of scheduled 36-hole match.
Better on Approaches.
Only once during the tournament was
Mrs. Tyson forced to the eighteenth
hole to win and that was by the youth
full Florence Beebe, Chicago, whom she
defeated up. after beng dormier 4 at
the end Of the fourteenth.
The champion elinfin ated Edith Begg,
Cleveland, Z and 8; Miss Helen Lawson
Coast star from Los Angeles, and 4;
Miss Beebe, Mrs. Greeg Lifur, Los An
geles, runner-up to Mrs. Hill last year,
3 and 2, and then conquered the golfer
who upset the champion.
Mrs. Tyson'S long game was as good
as Miss Pages in the Anal match, an
other puzzle to the experts and her
approaching and putting we're much
better than her opponents after the first
nine. Her pitch-and-run shots to the
green went true to the pin.

u. S. TENNIS TRIO
DEFEATS BR|TONS
Suffer, Vines and Wood Are
Superior in Hard Fight
at Forest Hills.
BY TED vOSBURG,


TOREST HILLS, N. Y, August 80.
r "A picturesque trio of American
| youngsters drawn from the East,
Far West and South represented
their country for the first time in in
ternational tennis play this afternoon
and celebrated the occasion by leading
the way to SO victory over a tour
ing English team.
Twenty-year-old Cliff Suffer, national
intercollegiate champion from Tulane
University, opened the series by volley-
ing his way to victory over Harold
George Newcombe Lee of England,
6+8, ga, 60. Ellsworth Vines of
Pasadena, Calf, and Sidney B. Wood
of New York, who have won place
among Americas foremost players at
18, also encountered stubborn opposi-
ton, but eventually Vines downed
Frederick j. Perry, 8-6, 1912, 60,
and Wood oVercame John Diff, 3-6,
6-3, Ga.
This made it unanimous, as far as
singles were concerned, and clinched
the series with the necessary three out
of five, but young America was not yet
ready to call 1t day.
Neer Replaces Shields.
The lanky Vines teamed up With the
almost equally long-legged Keith Gled-
hill in doubles, and this youthful Pasa-
dena pair proceeded to hand a 6-3,
60 trimming to Lee and his veteran
partner, l.. A. Godfree.
Not even England's traditional skill
in doubles play could save John Bull
from shutout, in the final match of
the day Perry and CLIFF were beaten,
6-3. rs, by Wood and Phil Neer
of San Francisco, former intercol-
Der of the American team who Is old
enough to vote, was substituted for
Frank Shields as the New York young
ster was in Brookline playing in the
final of the national mixed doubles
championships.
A gallery of less than 500 turned out
to watch the three youths whose deeds
on the court in recent weeks have
stirred the hope that future Davis Cup
stars are in the making.
Suffers VolIey Best.
OF the three, Suffer produced the
best yolleying, Vines did the best driv-
ing and the f1axen-haired Wood put on
a fine exhibition of court tactics and
position play All of the youngsters
showed again that they know how to
keep their heads under flre, none OF
their victories came easily.
Arrayed against Lee of the English
Davis Cup team, Suffer found his
strokes going all awry during the first
set The Englishman's Grips, fiat drives
off both wings gave him the advantage
in the back court interchanges and he
scored heavily on Suffers errors. But
at the start of the second set the New
Orleans youth gritted his teeth, rushed
to the net and launched brilliant vol
leying attack to carry the last two and
take the match.
Wood came back strongly after drop
ping the first set on errors, while Vines
kept firing away with his deep drives
from the baseline In the end it was
the English internationalist who cracked
under the strain and not the spindling,
six foot two inch youngster, who was
making his first appearance on the
West Side Stadium's famous courts
