WEST FAVOR|NG
ROOSEVELT
BY COLE E. MORGAN

Governor Roosevelt's campaign
excursion into the West began
to show tangible results today
with the recording of new bal
lots from that section in the
nationwide presidential poll of
the Washington Times and other
Hearst papers.
Seven of the eight States of
the Middle West grain belt re-
turned substantial majoritieS for
the Democratic nominee. in
creased the majoritieS he already
had to his credit in those States.
Five of these States gave him
larger majoritieS on this weeks S
returns than he had obtained
through the returns of the pre-
ceding week. Likewise he cut into
President Hoover'S majority in
Kansas, the one Middle West
State leaning to the Republican
ticket.
Iowa gave Roosevelt a majority
for the week of 204 out of 1,442
new ballots: Minnesota, 285 out
of 1888; Missouri, SO out of
1865; Nebraska, 537 out of 1877;
North Dakota, 113 out of 321;
South Dakota, II out of 299;
and Wisconsin, 387 out of I'LL.
The 886 new Kansas votes gave
Hoover q AZ majority.
These Roosevelt gains in the
Middle West added 1854 to his
poll majority in the country as
a whole, bringing it up to 46,734,
with 279,212 ballots recorded. In
the total returns of the week he
has made a net gain of 1884
votes.

Like a court scene without the
queen, this is to be a champion
ship without the champion, Helen
Wills Moody, and under these
circumstances it can serve no
point beyond establishing who,
among the go or more entries, is
the second best woman player
on the American continent l
fear the second best, in this case,
is liable to be pretty ordinary.
That's no nice way to talk
about Helen the second, other
wise Miss Helen Jacobs. another
Californian of note, but while
the situation may present a great
chance for Miss Jacobs, she can
not and will not be other than
what now is, namely. not a greet
tennis player, even if she wins.
Her status. in fact, was twice
before established on occasions
when she should have won but
did not.
Failed Twice
These came in 1927 and again
in 1880 when Mrs. Moody was
not among those present but, on
the first occasion, Mrs. Mo!la
Mallory, a robust but dodderin2
soul. was the winner and, on the
second. Betty Nuthall. of Eng
land, survived as ranking bene-
fiCiary.
So, on the records, it must be
assumed that Miss Jacobs just
hasn't got what it takes-except
in field like this. 1t probably
is the weakest in modern cham
pionship play, with the American
entry hardly up to its best and
England represented only by
Elsie Pittman and Joan Ridley.
The two invaders are among the
seeded players. So are Mrs. L.. A.
Harper. No. 2 in the national
