 SLANTS
] By ALAN GOULD ]

Few illusions about the box fight business,"" little worry about the "chiselers" in the racket and no false notions about the possible return of the million dollar heavy weight days beset the new execu- tive head of New York's Madison Square Garden.
 Colonel John Reed Fitzpatrick, AIl-America end at Yale when the gridiron spotlight was forcused brightly on the Ellis, all-around athlete. soldier and business man, steps into the spot once domin- ated by rex Rickard with the fistic side os the business pretty well bat red but not by any means hop loss.
 .It i5 my observation that the last fighter a champions manager wants to send his man against is the logical or popular contender" said Colonel Kirkpatrick. This is. of course, one of the strange fea- lures of boxing. We may not be able to cure it but the less sec recy and less bargaining we do un- der cover, the more likely we are

she won set from Helen Wills, when they both were youngsters out on the coast?
 T never won set from her in my life" Helen quickly corrected. She's beaten me seven times, and I believe the best I ever did was seven games"
 Was it true she never could beat Mrs. Moody, that she was licked" before she started?
 More nonsense" she laughed, and gave the matter careful thought. T think it's just because she's 50 psrfect and I'm so anX- ious to win a point before she wins it, ultimately, that I become reckless and make errors But I'm not beaten before 1 start, and if I'm lucky enough to reach the final against her this time you can bet I'll be in there doing my level best"
 Doesn't Lack Courage
 All of which. perhaps, gives some insight into the character of this countrys new net queen. She is friendly, totally without affecta- tion. As for courage, she was the first girl to play on the stadium courts at Forest Hills in shorts" She is feminine, because she was worried about how she would look in the then-daring apparel.
 I'm 25," she said without hes itation, and I think my game should improve until I'm 30 at least. I love tennis and intend to keep on playing it forever"

BOXING AT FAULT

There probably is no doubt tha the box-fight business has in many respects greased it's own skids.
 Champions have been moved around like the pieces on a check erboard, until the point has been reached during the past few years when the general public knew few of the professional titleholders by name, without being prompted, and still is not in the least concerned about it.
 In fact titles have been so cheapened by state or national diff ferences, causing conflicting claims by three or four boxers for the same championship, that they no longer mean much.
 A title mat5ii IS in itself no longer the gate attraction 1t once was, proof of which has been fur nished by the fact the Schmeling- Ba:r heavyweight match this sum- mer. with nothing but personal ri- valry at stake, outdrew by $40 GOO the Camera -Sharkev fight.
 In short, Colonel Kirkpatrick takes over an industry at a time when a worlds heavyweight championship match can draw but barely one fifteenth or less than seven per cent of the gate for the peak promotion achievement of Tex Richards career-the sec ond Dempsey-Tunney fight in Chicago.

W WRITERS KNOW NE W NET QUEEN AS GOOD SCOUT
Jake Comes Into Lime light After Years of
 Being Defeated
By GAYLE TALBOT Associated Press Sports Writer)

(AslCclat6d Press SpSrIS WTitSrJ
 NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-For girl who has been in the sports head lines for something like eight years Helen Jacobs is little known to the American sports public.
 For those eight years Jake" as her intimates like to call her, has been just the California girl who was always getting defeated in the finals of some tennis tourna- ment by the great Helen Wills, latterly Mrs. Helen Wills Moody.
 There wasn't enough room for the two of them at the top, so it was Mrs. Moody-Queen Helen, who was immortalized in song and story and on the weekend gravure papers. Miss Jacobs, ex- cept when she actually was en- gagged in competition, was more or less neglected.
 Even when she won the national title year ago, the victory was dismissed with complacent: "Yes, but Mrs. Moody didn't play"
 She's Worth Knowing
 Now, however, she has won an- other national crown, and she did it By playing through field of the worlds greatest women stars, including Mrs. Moody. It is high time the country became acquaint- ed with Helen Jacobs of Berkeley, Cal.
 Meet Helen, then, as she faced battery of sports writers in her suite at the Forest Hills Inn the day before the recent champion ships began. She's pretty, with a charm not entirely captured by the camera. Her 145 pounds are compactly distributed; blue eyes smile from a face tanned by a thousand tennis suns.
 Each visitor was supplied with cigarettes, ash trays placed at each elbow before Miss Jacobs curled in an easy chair and remarked: 50, what?"
 She found out. For fully an hour four intervieWers took turns trying to think up a question Helen could not-or would not an- swer. They failed. She sat and smiled and gave the answers. Some of the questions were, well, slight ly personal, but not one did she appear to resent. She said once: "Of course, you shouldn't print that" No one did.
 Calls Moody Charming"
 Was there anything to the re- port, current for years, that she and Mrs. Moody were not exactly fond of one another?
 What nonsense" said Helen. Of course we're friends. I don't know how such things get started. She's a charming girl and a mar velous tennis player"
 Would she tell about the time

 My idea would be to say, frank ly. that so-and-so makes the most desirable match, then make 1t clear to everyone exactly what ob- stacles, if any, arise to prevent making the fight on a reasonable basis. Of course I know there are all sorts of subterfuges, that the managers of fighters find ways and means to get around the rules and regulations. But by more di- rect dealing, the promoter at least can make his own position cleal and let the public's attitude takc care of the fighters

Touches.

The appearance Of home interiors can
be materially enhanced by remodeling
and repatnting outmoded pieces of fur
niture, according to official Of the
American paint and varnish industries.
Painted furniture in recent years has
been brought within the reach of peo-
pie Of moderate means, it Is pointed
out. and is steadily increasing in popu-
lartty because Of its combination of ar
tistic and practical assets.
ModerniZation of out-of-date pieces
often can be accomplished by a little
carpentry work before the furniture is
ref1nished in paint, lacquer, enamel,
varnish or stain. Old-fashioned bed
room pieces lend themselves particu-
larly well to modernization. Mid-Vic-
Gorian beds may have the high head
board cut down to the height of the
footboard or the headboard may be re-
moved entirely and the footboard used
as the head. Iron and brass beds with
little knobs may also be improved by re-
moving the knobs and filling the holes
with putty before painting.
Table, cabinet, chifonier and other
chests OF drawers are neater and easier
to keep clean If painted or vanished

ciaIly advisable for kitchen drawers,
which are apt TO become spotted and

A. Since enamel consists of what
painters term both vehicle and pigment,
it Is not necessary to use anything
except enamel on such job. Two or
three coats probably will be necessary,
and a glossy finish may be obtained by
rubbing down between coats. The pores
in the wood would be filed up by the

eSSary.
