BRITISH SQUAD CUT
IN TENNIS TOURNEY
Chance of an international
Women'S Final Fades as
Invaders Weaken.


FOREST HILLS, N. Y, August 90
The chances for an international sin
giles final in the women's national ten
mis- championship appeared consider
ably simmer today, as only four Of
the seven British entries were left in
the running and one Of the four has to
stake her chances Of survival on q sin
gle set.
A sudden storm late yesterday after
noon cut short the program after three
British stars had been eliminated and
when fourth, Mrs Dorothy c. Shop
erd-B2rron, captain of the British
Wightman Cup team, stood all square
with her opponent, Mrs. Marion Zin-
derstein Jessup. Each had won one
set. Mrs. Jessup taking the first, &c,
and Mrs. Shepherd-Barron the second,
60.
The completion of that match formed
one Of the few high spots en- today's
sch:dule. After the weather had ended
activities yesterday, washing out The
entire doubles program as we'll as three
singles matches, it was decided thst
only the third-round singles matches
would be completed today, leaving most
of the time for doubles.
The three matches which were to
decide the makeup of the rest of the
last eight brought together Sarah Pal
frey, young star from Sharon, Mass,
and Phyllis Mudford of the British
team; Betty Nuthall of England, the
defending champion, and Josephine
Cruickshank of Santa Ana, Calf.
Led by Mrs. Helen Wills Moody, four
California stars and one British in
vader already were in the quarter
finals Mrs. Eileen Bennett Whiting
stall carried the British colors a round
ahead OF her surviving countrywomen,
while Mrs L. A. Harper of Oakland
Helen Jacobs Of Berkeley and Dorothy
Weisel OF Sacramento formed the main
body of the California defense behind
Queen Helen.
Mrs. Moody had an easy triumph
yesterday downing Joan Ridley of Eng
land, IS, 80. Mrs. Harper, run
ner-uu last year, was carried to three
sets by Mrs. Elsie Goldsack Pittman
another of the English invaders before
winning. 60, ST, 81 Miss Whit
tingstall scored the lone British victory,
downing Alice Francis of Orange, N. j.,
6-1, 6-3. Miss weisel turned in the
third American victory in four inter-
national matches defeating Dorothy
Round, Ga SIS.

of challenges hurled back and forth

capacious locker room at Columbia
started of the series for the Cummings

golf played in the initial ioust was
nothing to brag about. STEVENSON and
woodward won by and 2, largely
because their opponents were in the
grip Of a strange malady known as

varied with other diseases known as

STEVENSON and Woodward now are open
TO challenge by any other pair in

played until September, under the
terms laid down by the donor of the
trophy. Red" Watkins, the Atlanta

~AN a golfer make five pars in
two holes?
V. Calvert Dickey Of the
Washington Golf and Country
Club. known ct the Virginia club as
"the man without a slice" now will
admit that job, difficult as it seems,
can be done. And it was done, to the
detriment Of Dickey's pocketbook by
none other than his golflng arch-enemy
Dore c. Gruver.
For several years Dickey and Gruver
have been playing together, and in
recent months they have started out,
each with a contract of 10 par holes
on the 10. Brides count two pars, and
earles-well. no one ever gave any
thought to eagles, for those rare birds
come so infrequently that they just
were not discussed.
Gruyer had been playing poorly yes
terday and at the end of the fourteenth
hole Dickey had accumulated nine pars,
while Gruver had been able to pile up
only five, leaving him needing five pars
in the next four holes to complete his
contract and collect the bonus that Is
paid the successful one who geas 10
While he was addressing his ball on
the fifteenth tee, Gruver bethought
himself of an old custom at Washing
ton and recalled it to Dickey in this
/ fashion Calvert, do we count eagles
as four pars?
And Dickey thinking an eagle was as
remote as the moon. said. Sure"
Gruver pounded out a lengthy tee
/ shot to the angle of the bend at the
/ fifteenth hole, knocked a spoon shot hole
/ high on the green and rolled in a 20
( foOter for the eagle. Now do we count
/ eagles as four parse" he asked Dickey,
and Dickeys only reply was broad grin
and a grunt.
I So Gruver, instead of being hopelessly
behind in his par count, had. picked up
/ four of them on one hole. He quickly
closed out his contract with par on
! the sixteenth and instead OF being on
! the losing end he broke even with
/ Dickey. who had won his par bet on
the fifteenth.
So you see it is possible to pick up five
pars in two holes All you have to do
is to get an eagle and a par. But try
and do it.

Fora. E. Howe, 65, was re-
manded to Jail by Justice Peyton
Gordon in Criminal Court to-
day after her conviction by a
jury on six counts of an indict-
ment charging false pretenses.
Mrs. Howe represented herself as
a widow of Henry M. Flagler,

tained $1,000 from Miss Jane
PlerSon, nurse.
Miss Pierson told the jury that
she was called to the Portland
Apartments last October 10 to
nurse Mrs. Howe during an ILL

was the widow of the millionaire
and borrowed the money from
her promising to give her $4,000

Rheem estate by Edmund D.
Rheem have been returned to the
trustees of the bankrupt mort
gage banking house none has yet
been returned to the owners who
left them with the company for
safekeeping, it was learned today.
It was originally planned by
the trustees that the notes would
be handled in the same manner
that other secured notes left in
the company's vaults have been
that they would be given to the
customers in accordance with pro-
cedure outlined by Justice Jesse
Adkins of the District Supreme
Court.
It is very probable that this
method of getting the valuable
papers back into the hands of
the owners will be observed but
the trustees today were consider

ment follows:
Beautifying Washington for
1882 is a matter to which
every resident of the Nations

learn that the writing of an
essay upon this subject is to
be made part of the work in

washington is by nature a
beautiful city and it is no secret
that the people who live in it
as well as the entire pOpula-
tiOn of the United States whose
home town Washington really
is, desire that it be kept SO.
School children, perhaps more
than any other class of resi-
dents, can be charged directly
with the responsibility of keep
