Mis- Babcock proved she has the weapons of a champion by reach ing the finals on her second sortie into bigtime tennis. And don't let that collapse of hers against Miss Jacobs yesterday make you think any less highly of her bone. The importance of the whole thing sim ply overwhelmed the youngster. Against Miss Ridley in the semi finals she had been a whirlwind with her sizzling drives and volleys. but she was just a scared-stiff little kid against Miss Jacobs in the title round.
 Gone was her daring, her confi- dence, her sure touch. Miss Bab- cocks game was flaws, yes, but what she lacks more than anything else is experience. The biggest fault with the Los Angeles girls game is her refusal to take a full swing on her forehand. She argues, and rightly so, that the abbreviated swing while it robs her drives of severity, gives her greater accuracy and enables her to mask her shots.
 It Is our opinion that Miss Mar ble will go further than Miss Bab- cock. Right now she Is not 'Alice's equal, for her forehand is little weak. But when that deficiency. is corrected, the San Francisco girl is going to the top. Earlier in the week, we said that Mrs, Johnny Van Ryn was the finest vollyer in women's tennis. We were wrong. Miss Marble is. At the net and in the short court she handles her self exactly like a man. And her overland smashes-well, she is the only woman player in this country who can put the ball away with one shot.
 Miss Marbles service, and Ameri- can twist, is far and away the most severe in the business. When that first ball of hers smacks home, nine out of ten women players can't hit 1t with butterfly net. This booming delivery works in beauti- fully with Miss Marbles ability at the net. affording her as ft does. an opportunity to storm the webb ing for sharply-angled volley or an outright kill.
 And one of the better things about the rise of Alice and Carolin (she really spells it that way is that they both have color. some- thing women's tennis in this coun- try has lacked for several years.

FATHER KELLY'S

By NEA Service
 Bourbonnaid, III Aug 22--Coach- es come and go in the Little l9 of Illinois colleges, but Father E. M. Kelly nearing his 50th birthday. stays on at St Viator college and keeps sending his boys into professional baseball.
 It has been nearly 30 years since Father Kelly himself starred on the diamond where he now coaches. In the Is years since he became athletic director and baseball coach he has developed dozens of boys who took up the game as-a busi- ness
 Eddie Stack went from St Viator to the Cubs in 1909 before Father Kelly stepped in. He made good, retired once to go into business and then returned to the game as an umpire.
 Bernard Coss, one of Father Kel- lys better southpaw pitchers, was with Brooklyn. Alex Mccarthy hopped from the campus to Pitts burg and later played several years in the American association.
 Bud Clancy, Babe Ruth of the Little 19 loop 10 years ago. held down first base several seasons for the White Sox and Is now caVort- ing at the initial corner for Brook lyn, following turn in the Ameri- can association. Mike Delaney, Via tor pitcher who graduated in 1929, is with Washington.
 The Boston Braves own Lefty Laenhardt, first baseman of prom ise. He is at Birmingham, along with Gus Dundon, another Viator left t-hander.
 Jimmy Dalrymple, ono of the best shortstops in Illinois collegiate circles. joined Reading after grad uating. He's with Fort Worth this season. Pat Sweeney went into the American association via the Three Eye league, while Iggy Waters, another first baseman who left St Viator during the winter, seems headed for stradom with Decatur.

Chicago, Aug 22-The score Is to 0, favoring the Giants over Brooklyn, with two out in the ninth inning of great pitching duel be- tween Carl Hubbell and Van Nun go. The announcer steps to home plate and bellows: Frederick bat ting for Mungo."
 Down through the middle, Hub bell fires a southpaw shoot. Fred erick swings. The ball sails off in- to the right field stands, a home run in the pinch to tie the score. Then again
 The score Is 13 to 0, in favor of the Tigers over Washington, with two out in the ninth round of a perfectly pitched game by Tommy Bridges. The announcer cries: Harris batting for Burke" Pitcher Bridges lets one go. Har- ris raps it to left field for clean single. He dies on first, for the next man is an easy out, but his single in the pinch wrecks perfect game.
 Good pinch -hitters don't get the credit for winning as many games as a Grove or Terrell, but they're nightly valuable to a club with pennant ideas. There is spot in almost every close game for u Dave Harris or a Johnny Frederick. What makes a good pinch hitter :? Ihe qualifications are two. First is cool head in the crisis. The sec ond is plain hitting ability. As- suming the batter has these quali- hcations. and has established his reputation as a "hitter in the

 Frederick and Harris are as cool as icebergs when the going is hot test. And when the ball comes in there. they know what to do with it.
 Frederick's pinch home run on Aug IA, his fourth blow of the kind this season and a major league record, gave the Robins a chance to win in the 10th frame. They did.
 The Brooklyn slugger has ma jor league batting average of about .310, compiled in three and two- thirds seasons. He hit 1928 in 1929 and 1884 in 1880, but slumped early this season, necessitating the deal which brought Danny Taylor to Brooklyn from the Cubs. With Taylor. Wilson.

 New York, Aug 22-It is high time, now, that the AZ other states which have been seeking so long to end California's domination of women's tennis, got wise to them- selves, gave up, ana turned to pro- ducing a rope climbing, hoop roll ing or jackstraw champion. For in women's tennis they aren't going to get to first base for many years to come.
 Those who sat in the 46th annual women's national tennis singles championship (there's a title for you) know the reason why. Rea- son No 1 is Miss Alice Marble Of San Francisco. Reason No is Miss Carolin Babcock of Los Angeles. Many experts will argue that we have placed the reasons in the wrong order; that Carolin should come before Alice. But that doesn't matter. The important thing is that these two girls, are sure things to carry on when the two Helens- Mrs Helen Wills Moody and Miss Helen Jacobs-lay aside their rac- quets.

KACEYS SMOTHER CUBS TO GO BACK
 INTO PARKS LEAD

With one exception, there was no question about winners in the Public Parks League yesterday Thomaston's Kaceys took full ad- vantage of any layoff by the here toiore leading Recreations to trounce the Brooklyn Cubs. IT to 4, and ease right back into tie for the lead with Bob Kiersted's lads of the diamond. Right from the second linning on, 1t was all Kacey, six runs counting as q started and subsequently, followed up by punches of three, four and two runs. The Cubs were out of it entirely until the fifth and sixth when they got their bingles to- gether and scored four runs. Eb- ner, Parsons, Ruggie, Anderson and Brammer hit steadily for the winners with Detelle the only Cub to get more than one of the six hits allowed by Anderson.
 Elks Top Squares :.
 A strictly north end baseball controversy ended in an 8 to win for the Colored Elks over the North Squares. and though Dorsey Jenkins allowed but four hits, his opponents counted six runs, due to miscues galore. Graves, Garner and Jankins were the hard-hit- ters for the Elks, while none of the Squares got more than one hit.
 Colts Tanned
 Off with the first crack of the bat, the Riversides scored in each of the first four innings to take a 2 to lead at that point and fin- ally wound up with II to 6 win over the Colts at Waterville. The losers took the lead in the second inning with a three run score, but lost 1t soon afterwards and from then on were lost. Nine hits apiece were scored by the teams, but Ed die DiNapoli kept his gifts well distributee;, :. ..,,,,. ,y,,,s
 ington Park, the Crescents of Mooreville. were kept well in hand until the seventh inning when they began to get to Cusack for enough hits followed by errors that gave them a net profit of six runs, all scored in the last three innings. Hopeville grabbed a run in the first canto and another in the fifth which looked plenty good enough to take the ball game. as Cusack held the Cresccnts scoreless until the seventh. However, hits began and the Waterville boys made themselves 3 to 1 shot when 1t was all over. Meyer and Blair did we'll with the willow and so did Blanchione and Cusack for Hopeville.

Able Returns
 The crux of her determination to win, coupled with her recently per-. fected ability was flashed in the very first set. On the short end of a 1-5 set, Miss Moran suddenly out pointed Miss Dewell so strongly that her attack completely demoral ized the Thomaston girl who was stopped in her tracks. losing the set 8-6. The second and deciding set was comparatively easy for the Waterbury girl, inasmuch as the previous contest was deuced three times before the drives launched at Miss Dewell forced her to net the ball and lose the set.
 Hard Work
 , The first set, going 14 games was necessarily tiring to both contest ants, though Miss Dewell wilted more rapidly than her rival who was borne up on the crest of a sen- sational comeback, after trading earlier in the match by four games It was a conclusive and well-earn- ed victory.
