Fair Stars Meet Often, But Only at Net
At the University of California
Mrs. Moody. then Miss Wills. ioined

At the University of California
Mrs. Moody, then Miss Wills, joined
the Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority.
When Miss Jacobs entered the
University she was rushed" by
Kappa Kappa Gamma. But some
thing happened, SO gossip has it;
and that sorority did not elect her
to membership. Later, she became
affiliated with Kappa Alpha Theta.
OF the two at present, Miss Jacobs
probably is the happier. For years
the frank ambition of her life has
been to gain the world champion
ship by toppling Mrs. Moody. She
has accomplished her aim.
Moving in separate social circles,
belonging to different organizations.

Case of Sweetser
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

CHICAGO, August 29.-The de-
~ fault of Mrs. Helen Wills Moody
has started a warm argument
among the golfers and others pres
ent at the women's national golf
championship at Exmoor.
Under the same conditions Miss
Helen Hicks said. Il think would
have faxed a faint or a collapse
If absolutely unable to stand up any
longer"
The general opinion seems to sbe
that Mrs. Moody should have fln-
tshed the last set, losing every point
to give her rival clearer victory.
I am not so sure about this. It
would have been smarter not to have
started at all.
If Mrs. Moody felt that she was
injuring her health by continuing
play. she was wise to stop, despite
the injustice it might have done
to Helen Jacobs.
Amateur sport is not quite that
important. Jess Sweetser found
that out when he battled to victory
in spite of his doctors advice and
paid the penalty with a long siege
of illness that almost cost his life
and was soon forgotten by the public.

A stir of gossip resulted some
years ago from Helen Wills action
in leaving out Miss Jacobs when Sc
lecting a team of stars for cham

those selected were eligible to have
their expenses paid, and inasmuch
as Miss Jacobs ranked higher than

Repetition of Classic of 1924

BY JOHN b. FOSTER.

n YEW YORK, August With
M a fair chance that the
/ Y world series in October will
see the Giants and the
Senators at grips, it is interesting
to look back over a span of some
nine years, specifically to the early
Fall of 1924, wherein our question:
ing eye meets a picture of these
two clubs struggling for world
supremacy.
Maybe you recall that series, which
ended In a furry of extra innings, IL
in all, at the end Of which the great
Walter johnson won his game and es-
tablished his club as the greatest base
ball aggregation on the face Of the
globe. Score? Four to three.
Oddly enough, now that the picture
Of bygope action is developing addi-
tional details, we see that the first game
also went IL innings, Art Nehf requiring
just that length of time to win over
Walter johnson by the same score as
that of the last contest.
