HELEN HAS CLEARER PATH
IN TENNIS THAN SUZANNE

NEW YORK, July CC.P.A1.-Mrs
Helen Wills Moody's victory at Wimble-
don in the wornen's singles on the
Fourth establishes her in d position as
outstanding from other tennis players
of her sex throughout the world as
Suzanne Lenglen was in her home.
In fact when the French girl ruled
the court, Helen Wills was at least
within striking distance of her. But the
Berkeley star reigns alone today in the
tennis armament, as much alone as a

7 ENLEY ON THAMES, Eng
- land, July 5.-Kent School of
Connecticut today went down
in defeat in the semi-f1nals
for the Thames Challenge Cup of the
Royal regatta, when Worcester College,
Oxford led them over the course to win
by half length in holly contested
race. The event, over a mile and $50
yards course, was rowed by the Worces-
ter crew in minutes and IA seconds.
The American crew, a Slight faYorite,
failed to repeat the victory of another
school boy eight Brown and Nichols,
of Cambridge, Mass, last year The
event was the first of two serni-finals of
the morning, the Quintin Club eight
rowing against the Vesta in the other.
The Connecticut boys rowed a shell
presented to them by Lord Rothermere.
In the Worcester crew was an Ameri-
can oarsman, Tyler, an oxford Rhodes
scholar. The weather for today'S events
was perfect The breeze was with the
crews, although Kent, on the INSIDE"
course, did not get full benefit of It, The
sky was cloudless and thousands lined
the Thames to witness the spectacular
event.
The VeStas captured their Semi-finals
event by defeating the Quintain outfit
by length. Their time, like the pre-
vious winners, was 7 minutes IA sec
onds. The victory entitled the Vestas
to meet Worcester in the finals.

The washington baseball club
will hold a meeting Of its stock
holders at the local headquarters
at noon tomorrow for the pur-
pose Of re-electing the present Of
ficers, Clark C. Griffith, presi-
dent: William M. Richardson,
Of Philadelphia, vice president,
and Edward B. Eynon, jr., Sec
retary.
It is hardly expected that a
dividend will be declared this
year, as the clubs business was
not so thriving during 1929 as
in the years Immediately preced-
ing, when twice dividends total
ing 40 per cent per annum were
declared following world series
competition. Later, however, the
nominal s per cent dividends
have been distributed, but it is
expected that any surplus avail
able for a dividend this year has
either been invested In the Chat
tanooga team or will be with
held in a reserve fund for the
obvious purpose eof developing
the team.
With the exception Of SUM-
days, the crowds at the stadium
last season were nothing over
which to go into raptures. In
fact, the local club drew better
in some of the road stops than
it did locally. However, road
profits are largely eaten up by
travelling. expenses, and by and
large the Washington entry
hardly had what could be called
a big year financially.
Lou Gehrig, who, with his
mother, has just closed a Yule-
tide visit to Washington, where
they have been the guests of
Mr.. and Mrs. Freddy Buchholz
and Mrs. Gus Buchholz, declared
he is getting a great kick out of
the brokerage business which he
has entered.
Besides being a fascinating
game" said Lou, ''it gives a fel-
low something to set his mind
about when he wakes up in the
morning. Nothing is more de-
teriorating to the average nor
NAL human being than idleness.
Everybody needs something
every day in the year to which
to apply his. hand and mind.
"Too, I want to master the
stocks and bond racket between
seasons as long as I am playing
ball. so that I will have a pro
fesSion to which to turn when I
am no longer fast enough to re-
main in the major leagues. I
never want to play In the minors

1OT q 1lNGIllOOO JUST AS SOOII DIS
step out Of professional ball"
Gehrig is very much discour-
aged about the football out
look at Columbia University,
his alma mater, where Lou Lit
tie has gone, or rather will
soon go, to coach. He declares
Columbia a tough spot for any
coach, because the Morning
side Heights outfit will not
give football scholarships and,
as Gehrig says, the best coach
in the world can't make a.
football team without the
proper material.
Good football players can get
free tuition, board, room and
something besides, according to
their ability, in many of the
other AL universities Of the
country and Gehrig feels good
men will not pay their way
through Columbia to play foot
ball when they can go dozens
Of other places in the country
and get everything free, and
spending change besides.
With Tom Mills, Notre Dame
freshman coach and scout, COM
ing to Georgetown to take over
the athletic reins, do not be
surprised to see him book grid
iron games with Notre Dame
within two or three years.
Alumni and the general public
must give Mills a few seasons
in which to supplant the
Knute Rockne idea for the Lou
Little plan Of procedure.
Once a Notre Dame system
Is thoroughly in vogue here, we
have no doubt the South
Benders will be imported, as
Rockne was personally very
much interested in getting
Mills installed at Georgetown,
and will unquestionably be just
as much interested in seeing
him get good schedules when
he has built his re-vamped
Georgetown teams up to that
point.
In the past Georgetown has
very much lacked big home
game and Notre Dame would
be just the answer to the pray
ers Of thousands of Washing
tonians for a big home feature
game. West Virginia does not
mean a thing here. yet it has
been billed year after year by
Georgetown as the main rally
ing point for the local season.
Given a Notre Dame game,
we believe Washingtonians
would put an end to that false
impression that this Is not .
good football town.
