SOCCER FAVORlTE
 SPORT IN PARIS
By THOMAS COPE Tfnifaf1 PrCcs Star Cnrra. ,SOr

NShttu IrcsS Sotdu correspondent
 Paris (UP)-Striking out vio- lently with the foot remains one of mans great pleasures.
 The art of. Kicking, which has been developed in both sexes to an amazingly high degree, is looked upon with constant delight in all civilized countries and in the realm of sport constitutes a show hard to rival.
 In six out of 13 leading nations, in fact. soccer football is the fa- vorite sport, according to a world wide symposium just completed by LAuto, leading Paris sports daily.
 Britain and Germany head the list. France is not included in the symposium.
 The other four nations which voted soccer football the favorite sport are Holland. Hungary, Tur- key and Egypt. Rugby is known more or less in all these countries, but never. draws the crowds that soccer does. American football is seldom, if ever played.
 The symposium tells French readers that baseball is still the predilection of the public in the United States, that Norway still sticks to skiing for its chief amuse- ment, that the italians look on au- tomobile racing as the high point of the sporting year and that Swift zerland and Rumania favor no one particular event but look upon mixed sports with increasing fa- vOr
 airminded, take part in almost all known sports, but particularly favor the physical culture festi- vals which occur every four years.
 In Bucharest an "Ohnisports" festival is held every year on June &. anniversary of the return of King Carol, who has ayways been in the lead in promoting sports and gymnastics in Rumania. B..
 The. Italians look. upon the an- nual thousand mile automobile race of Brescia as the greatest sport event of the year. This event, which is the worlds most ambitious highway speed test, carries the contestants from the city near Lake Garda down the Mediterranean coast to Rome, then across to the Adriatic, up to the foothills of the Venetian Alps and back to Brescia. The winner of last years race. driving an AL fla Romeo. established a record by maintaining an average speed of 83 miles per hour on an unbrok- en run of 15 hours.

 CLEANSWEEP OF
 WICHTMAN GAMES
Sarah. Palfrey, Subbing for Mrs Helen Wills Moody, Features Win Over British
By HENRY McLEMORE

United Press StaR Correspondent.
 New York, Aug 5-UP)-A few years ago someone asked Mrs Hell en Wills Moody who she thought would succeed her as America's greatest woman tennis player and the reply was: Little Sarah Pal frey."'
 This prediction looked bad for d long time but in the past two weeks the pert New England girl with the pug nose and freckled face has shown Q game which in- dicates she is on her way to the top.
 Miss Palfrey's play reached crescendo yesterday, when, sub ping for the i'll Mrs Moody, she teamed with Helen Jacobs to give America a clean sweep of the first three macthes of the Wightman cup competition with England. Miss Jacobs defeat of Dorothy Round, Miss Palfrey's rout of Mar garet Scriven, and their joint de- feat of Miss Round and Mary Heeley made it necessary for the United States to win but one of to- days four concluding matches to retain the cup for the third succes- sive year. t
 In to-day's program Alice Mar ble of. San Francisco is scheduled to open play against Betty Nut hall. Next. Mrs Moody is listed to meet Miss Round in a re-en- actment of their Wimbledon final. Miss Jacobs and Miss Scriven will go on. third and in the wind-up Mrs Moody and Miss Marble are paired against Miss Nuthall and Freda James.
 It is doubtful. however, if this progrm will be carried out as planned. Mrs Moody, who with drew yesterday because of a lame back, still is far from fit and may not see service. Miss Marble, too. is in poor condition from the effects of her four matches at Easthamp- ton last Tuesday and may remain idle. Carolin Babcock, runner up to Mrs Moody in the nationals last year, and Mrs Johnny Van Ryn, will be pressed into service If Mrs Moody and: Miss Marble are not available.

DID YOU KNOW THAT

Rogers Hornsby made the sev- enth place Cardinals world Qham- pions in 1926, a year and a half after he took charge of the team and he faces the same op- portunity with the Browns. :. It was John McGraw's way of ex- pressing contempt for Frankie Frisch when he traded Frisch and pitcher Jimmy Ring to the Car dinals for Hornsby seven years ago. "A pitcher for good measure" Frisch had taken umbrage at McGraw and snapped back at him. When Rajah was traded to the Giants. there was the matter of stock he owned in the Cards to be strengthened out after Hornsby had been called into conference and agreed to sell for $100,000 Sam Breadon uttered his famous remark: I'd rather argue with a sroomful of tigers than Hornsby."
