~ ROOKLYN, N. Y, August l3-
Jess Haines, the old knuckle
ball master Of the Cardinals,
appears to be improving with
age. making no end of embarrass-
ment for those fans who have been
predicting for some time now that
hes about through"
If big Jess is "about through" he
has given no indication Of 1t this
season, except that the rest between
games is longer than 1t used to be.
They're saying in base ball circles
that Haines probably will pitch the
World Series Opener against the
Athletics, If, as seems almost GER
tain, the American and National
League champions repeat.
When HaineS, who started pitch
ing baseball for a living back in

enemy batter has reached the scor-
ing station. In those 81 innings
Jess was rather liberal with base
hits, allowing a total of rs, but he
was stingy at crucial moments.
Out of action nearly a month this
year from wrist injury, Haines
found 1t difficult to go nine innings
for q time after his return to duty,
but his last three starts indicate
the knuckle ball is working to per-
lection again.
The result, he says, Of his first

N JEW YORK, August 13.--Once
IN more Mrs. Helen Wills
! Moody is primed for the
attempt to regain lost
crown of the tennis courts.
That is exactly the position she
held in 1927, when she faced the
battles of the national champion
ship tournament to make con-
quest for the title Mrs. Molla
Bjurstedt Mallory had won in her
absence the previous year.
Last season, with Mrs Moody remain
ing in retirement on the Pacific Coast,
1t was the energetic Betty Nuthall of
England who captured the American
honors-the first foreigner ever to do so.
The erstwhile queen of Wimbledon
and America tops the seeded group OF
Americans in the draw Of "a Compel
dtors for the forty-fourth annual cham
pionship Of the United States. In the
top half with her the arbitrarily placed
contestants, both homebreds and for
eign, are the Baroness Levi of Italy,
Dorothy Weisel, Mrs. Eileen Bennett
Whittingstall, Mrs. Marion zinderstein
JesSup Mrs. Shepherd Barron, Mrs.
John Van Ryn and Miss Nuthall.
Provided the racket of Mrs. Moody
possesses all its former magic, she has
nothing in particular to do in order to
overwhelm Ruby Bishop, California
Junior. In her opening engagement next
Monday It would appear, however,
that in the third round she is likely to
encounter the tiger of the courts, the
Baroness Levi. When last they met, at
Eeabright, the fierce baroness performed
more like q tame and frightened tabby
cat. so 1t Is impossible to foreshadow
anything strenuous for the American
leader at that stage.
Mrs. Whittingstall, who clashes with
Clara zinke in her first-round match,
appears to be the most likely British
round. That stands as the quarter
finals.
In the next Is Miss Nuthall. fight
; ing her way to retain her crown, faces
some formidable opposition. One would
expect her to rise superior to Mrs. John
Van Ryn in the third round and then
she must clash with the winner of the
Mrs. Jessup and Mrs. Shepherd Barron
match. Here Is something that was
torn from the Wightman Cup matches.
II viii furnish an answer as to the
question as TO where Mrs. JeSSup stands.
It is impossible to deny that Bound
ing Betty must prove herself. indeed, a
royal champion to win a place in the
final round. Provided true tennis form
prevails then this English girl who has
fought so well must defeat two Of the
best Americans in turn, Mrs. Jessup in
the quarter-f1nals and Mrs. Moody in
the semi-finals of her half. In the
light of the Wightman Cup matches
such q victory appears improbable

eIen Moody Pinned Regain United Tennis Title She Forfeited
Sun Beau's Owner
To Shun Caliente

DMGHAMToN, N. Y, August Is
ID AP)-The Binghamton Press yes
terday printed a signed state
ment by its publisher, Willis Sharpe
Kilmer, breeder and owner Of Sun
Beau, world champion money
winning horse, declaring that "for
no inducement and under no condi-
lions" will Sun Beau ever start at
Aqua Caliente again.
The statement resulted from a
story that Sun Beau and Phar Lap,
the Australian champion, might meet
at the Mexican track next Winter.
Sun Beau, a heavy favorite in the
Winter book and at the peak of con-
dition, lost the Aqua Caliente handi-
cap last Winter to Mike Hall, owned
by r. M. Eastman. In the recent
Arlington meet he defeated Mike
Hall in three consecutive starts.

NEUTRAL zONE PLAN
 IN MANCHuR|A |S
 ACCEPTED BY CHINA
JAPAN DENIED RIGHT PURSUE BANDITS IN MANCHURIA
 BY LEAGUE COUNCIL

PARIS, Dec. T. (P)-China an nounced herself ready to abandon her key position in the Manchuria dispute which was a determined stand against acceptance of non- partisan committee of inquiry un- til Japan agreed to withdraw her troops completely from the occu- pied area.
 Acting upon official orders from Ranking, A. SZe, Chinese delegate, issued a statement that China will take a draft of the League Council as it stands without specifying time limit for complete evacuation providing neutral observers con- firm reports that Japanese have withdrawn from the Chin Chow region to the east bank of the Liao River.
 Decision in the case is now up to the Investigating committee to be appointed by the League Council, but it cannot possibly complete inquiry before next spring.
 The Japanese are demanding the right to pursue bandits in Man churia, but the League Council and China have rejected this demand and this point now stands as the sole remaining obstacle to settle ment.
