ELIMINATION OF
 HELEN JACOBS IS SHOCK OF TOURNEY
Mrs Moody Will Probably Meet and Beat Betty NuthaIl in Tennis Finals Tomorrow
BY HENRY MCLENlORE United Press Staff COrrcspOndcnt)

United Press Stan CorrcspOndcnt)
 Forest Hills, N. Y., Aug 22- (UP)-American tennis to-day owed Mrs Helen Wills Moody a rising vote of thanks for returning to the courts this season.
 For had not the great Califor- nian decided to come back after a years absence the national singles championship most certainly would have remained in England for an other year at least.
 If you doubt this, take a look at the semi final bracket of the tour nament and be convinced. Mrs Moody Is the only American sur vivor. the other three semi-finals berths belonging to Miss Betty Nuthall, Miss Phyllis Mudford and Mrs Eileen Bennett Whittingstall. all of Great Britain.
 Helen Is the Choice
 Mrs Moody is, of course, q heavy favorite to win. Mrs Moody meets Miss Mudford to-day and while the hard hitting English girl may extend her for while, Queer Helen is a sure bet to triumph. In the recent Wightman cup matches Mrs Moody turned back the Eng fish girl with the loss of but five games.
 Miss Mudford, however, is like ly to make a better showing to- day. She proved in eliminating Mrs Lawrence A. Harper of Oak land, Calf, yesterday that she is nobody's set-up when her tremen- dous forehand drive is staying in- side.
 Betty in Finals
 Miss Nuthall is favored to defeat Mrs Whittingstall, despite the lat ter's amazing victory over Miss Helen Jacobs in the quarter-fin round yesterday. Mrs Whiting stall was completely exhausted when she finished her match with Miss Jacobs and Is likely to lack the stamina to withstand the tire less attack of buxom Betty.

 New York, Aug 22.-(CP)- They're running the Travers Mid Summer Derby up at Saratoga to- day and come nightfall, we ex- pect to be sitting In Rolls Royce eating caviar with a !adle, and with nothing more pressing on our minds than whether to buy that yacht with the gold tunnels or that cute little trick with ruby trimmed portholes and platinum yardarm.
 Confidentially, we would have all these luxuries a year ago but for one littie mistake. That little mistake, if you are interested, was our inability to take one look at that scraggy, moth eaten beetle of q Jim Dandy and realize that he was a better hoss than Gallant Fox or Whichone and was going to take the 1880 Travers in q walk, and, what is more important, at 100 to
 But, it's live and learn, and boy. have we learned. To-day every thing but the old homestead (yor know, the one with the mint Julep bed) Is going to ride behind the ears of the ugliest hay-burner in the race. None of this Twenty Grand stuff for us We wouldn't like him if he had an outboard motor attached. Give us some bee tie who hasn't won d race in year and looks like a museum piece.
 Recall Jim Dandyr
 If at post time there's a muddy track we'll let the old homestead ride. too. For it was in heavy Go- ing that the Travers saw it's two most sensational upsets. Jim Dandy's heart-stopplng drive down the hOmestrctch last year was one of these. The other came in 1928 when Petee Wrack said Here 5 mud in yer eye 10 the mighty Reign Count and the thoroughly capable Victorian.
 Petee Wrack's win. by the way, was hardly less amazing than Jim Dandy's. For, unless our memory is up to some knavery, they were calling the count second Man O War back in dear old '26, just az they did the Fox last year. Don't get the idea that Petee and Tim were the only horses ever to Score upsets in the Travers. The thing has been running since 1864 and if all the horses who have scored upsets in that time were laid and 10 end they not only would get a good rest, but would reach from here to Waterbury.

Next day the presidential party
journeyed to Springfield, ILL.,. for the
dedication Of the remodeled tomb Of
Abraham Lincoln. Mr.. Hoover was
the guest of Governor Emmerson and
again delivered the main speech at
the imposing ceremonies.
The POLITICAL implications of Presi-
dent Hoover's trip to the Middle West
were evident and not denied. The
three states he visited have all caused
alarm among the Republican leaders
by their votes in recent elections.
Only last November Illinois replaced
a Republican senator with Demo
crat and sent FIVE more Democrats to
the house in place of Republicans;
Ohio elected Democratic governor
and sent six Democrats to congress
in place of Republicans. and Indiana
replaced six Republican congressman
with Democrats. The Republican man.
ayers hoped the presidential tour
would have effect in bringing these
states back into the fold, and there
was also the expectation that it would
help in promoting Mr.. Hoover's pros
poets for denomination and re-elec-
ton. That he is a candidate Is no
longer in doubt. If it ever was The
recent conference of young Repub-
licans in Washington. under the guild
ance of Senator Fess, national Re
publican chairman, made that certain.
