grab it before it crossed the line
Rice, jumping from his grandstand
chair, yelled ''let 1t roll" Bolton
did and threw out Berry, who
hadn't left the plate.
Unusual double play in the fourth
with McNair on first and Cole

that Bolton got in front of the stand
after hard run Clif skidded
about in the mud after making the

know this, and merely lobbed the ball
TO the pitchers box McColl
whipped it to Cronin, who relayed to
Myer, standing on second and
Coleman was waved "out."

n YEW YORK, August 14.-It's a
M pleasant thing this year to
" watch the girls trot out on
i the alleged turf at Forest
Hills to begin their forty
seventh annual scrimmage for the
national tennis title Most of them
are wearing shorts, the symbol Of mil
linery freedom, and most of them
seem to think they have at last a
Cherokee's chance of winning the
business.
There was none of this feeling Of
freedom in the days when Mrs. Helen
Wills Moody ruled the heap. OF
course, the girls were not ready for
millinery freedom then, and you can
not blame the old, medieval forms OF
haberdashery on Mrs. Moody.
She came out in favor of shorts
at Wimbledon this year, and she
probably would be the first to sport
them at Forest Hills, having, as
the boys say, a shapely pair of
gains.
But there always was a kind OF
feudal atmosphere about the courts In
the regime of the poker face. The
other girls didn't have their hearts in
the game. 1t wasn't simply that Mrs.
Moody could lay them out like bear
skin rugs in the matter Of tennis COM
petition. She controlled the old plan
tation in every way-physically, So
cially and artistically.
On Speaking Terms With King.
YRS. M. had a personal intro
VI duction TO the King Of Eng
land to her credit, and she was
said to be on speaking terms with the
Kings wife and family. She handled
the brush and easel with considerable
eclat, and conceded that she would
"be an artist long after I am through
being a tennis player" AS a mat
ter of fact, her sketches sold in
London for IL guineas. or go bucks,
apiece, which is art on solid and
sensible scale.
There is no denying that the Moody
spell was broken on that August aft
ernoon last year when she abandoned
the court to Helen Jacobs. It was
Just as complete a job Of spell
breaking as the one performed on
Suzanne Lenglen several years be-
fore by Molla Mallory. The reign
of Lenglen ended like the reign Of
Moody, by default, though Suzanne
came back to win few more scraps
before she folded, just as Mrs. Moody
will.
Some tough things, true or
not, have been said Of Mrs.
Moody since she Hmped of the

Side Tennis Club.

SluC 1cnulS SIuDs
A great many things have been
said about her working nemesis and
successor. Helen Jacobs. It's certain
that the Jake's authority will be
confined to tennis and that she never
will scare the rest of the girls into
complete submission, even though she
is the best bet Of the current tour
nament.
There's no mistaking the atmos-
phere of freedom at Forest Hills
these days. A dozen dolls have their
eyes cooked on that large piece of
hardware that goes with the title.
The path is clearer than it was in
the last year Of Moody absence. 1892,
when Miss Jacobs dominated the field.
Progress Among the Contenders.
THE chief American contenders of
that season, Carolin Babcock
and Sarah Palfrey. have come
a good distance in the meantime So
has Freda James of England. Betty
Nuthall, the bounding Basque of
Britain, always is tough on these
Forest Hills courts.
Naturally, it's more fun to play
when you have some marbles of your
own. That's probably the way Miss
Babcock feels as she lopes over the
club house courts to the scene of her
engagement with Josephine Cruick-
shank.
Looks like you've got chance this
year, Carolin," some one says to her
Yes, maybe" says Miss Babcock,
waving racket. "Therell be plenty
of trouble today though, for me. And
Helen's in my half"
In other words, this is
tournament you can get your
teeth into. You can see your
way, measure your chances, and
map your own campaign.
For some of the girls, it may have
considerable market value. The pro-
fessional scouts are examining Miss
Jacobs and Miss Nuthall, among
others, with view toward purchase.
The Jacobs commercial value declined
slightly with her failure to win the
Wimbledon title, but she's still the
best female buy on the exchange.
The tournament has suffered a bit
financially through the absence of
Mrs. Moody, but the contestants are
not complaining. They don't get
cut of the proceeds anyway. They
are satisfied to be knocking around
in their emancipated garments with
no prospect of meeting tough young
friend of Queen Mary's in the first
or second round.

Il ture Helen Jacobs painted

fense of the women's national
tennis championship.
"It's a funny thing with me-"
the Berkeley girl said as she pre-
pared to take on Jane Sharp of
Pasadena in second-round
match, but I'm never confident
before a match or a tournament,
for that matter. My practice is
to go on the court and do my
best and let the result depend
on the way play.
Naturally I would like to win
the championship again this year,
but there are plenty of stiff play
ers in the field. For example,
there are Carolin Babcock, Sarah

Nuthall."
Miss Jacobs dispelled some of
the fears about her game by the
decisive manner in which she
squelched Marjorie Sachs Of Cam
bridge, Mass, in the first round.
She won both sets at love in what
amounted to a complete reversal
of the form she showed in the
Seabright invitation tournament
final fortnight ago.
The Jacobs Sharp match shared
the spotlight of the second round
with the engagement between Miss
Nuthall and Baroness Maude Levi
Of Minden. New.
Little Sarah Palfrey of Brook
