JACOBS, PALFREY WILL DECIDE U. s.
 TENNIS HONORS
BrOOkIine Girl Wants to Win Title as Wedding
 Present to Fiance

Boston, Aug 12-(UP)-Galleries championships al New York this week will see a definitely improved forehand in the stroking reper- toire of defending champion Helen Hull Jacobs of Berkeley. Calf, ac- cording to Ralph Chambers, young Longwood club professional.
 Miss Jacobs. you may recall, lived with friends at Melrose dur ing the fall, winter. and early spring, and for more than five months she worked out three or four times weekly with chambers at the Longwood covered courts. From his observations of the champions game during that pe- riod. Chambers is picking Helen to retain her title, although he con- cedes Sarah Palfrey of Brookline chance of breaking through.
 Front Runner?
 Chambers said Miss Jacobs inn pressed him ''as a girl who, if she didn't. get the jump at the start, didn't seem to try her best" But, of course" he added. that was practice and it probably would he different in real match" The pro- fesSional said Miss Palfrey had all the strokes needed to win the championship, but that in his opin- ion Miss Jacobs greater strength would prevail. It would be inter- esting, he felt, to see how the two fared, since they had taken differ ent means of preparing for the na- tionals. Miss Jacobs hasn't com peted since returning from Europe but Miss Palfrey used last weeks Longwood tournament as warm up for the title play-winning the women's singles over good field
 The professional also pointed out that Miss Palfrey to be married in September, to Marshall FabYan a Harvard graduate, and that it is the Brookline girls fondest hope to win the national championship as a sort of advance wedding pres ent for her fiance.

The Tanks are now four and half games behind. The Tigers, rid ing the tail of a twelve-game streak, are setting a pace that no team-not even the surprising De- troiters-can keep for long. But with less than three weeks at home and the finish on the road, the Yankees will not only have to chop off that lead but build one for themselves if they expect to be within hailing distance in Septem- Der.
 Yanks Founder
 The Detroit streak has been hard to match, but the Tanks, far from meeting the challenge, have slump ed below championship stride, dropping five games and winning seven since the end of July when they came roaring home at the top of the league Their only chance at present app . to be in checking the Tiger ri.. , in the four game series this week.
 Yesterday, with Cochrane bat ting out two doubles, Detroit swept it's series with Clevelapd, again coming from behind to win, 6-5, Marvin owen was most of the works, with single and a homer: | in addition he scored the winning run and started a triple play in the seventh which pulled Luke Ham, lin out of hole.
 One Apiece New York, celebrating Babe Ruth's last appearance as regular | in Fenway Park. Boston, where he | got his start twenty years ago, could get no better than an even split, losing the first game, GA and | winning the nightcap, 7-1, which | lost a half game to the Tigers. Big George EarnshaW gave t. e | Chicago White Sox their only game of the St Louis series, winning the nightcap S-2 after the Browns had won the opener, Az. Earnshaw hit double to help his cause. Philadelphia and Washington were washed out by rain in the | eighth inning of the first game of a | double header, with the score tied, Il.
 Deans Drubbed Chicagos Cubs got long-awaited revenge on the Dean brothers of St Louis, winning both ends of a twin bill and running Paul and Dizzy off the field. Babe Herman with two homers, led the assault on Brother Paul in the opener as the Cubs, chased the younger Dean in the fifth with a three-run spree The Cubs won, 7-2. They took the nightcap, Cd, at the expense oi Jerome, boosting him off the humI in the eighth.

ROBERTS TO BOX
 BRIDGEPORT FOE
Local Amateur Meets TOnl- my Smith Tomorrow
 on New Haven Card

New Haven, Aug 13-Joe Rob- erts, hard-hitting Waterbury lad. and Tommy Smith, clever Bridge. port boxer, will clash in one of the feature fights on Matchmaker Dick Gray's program of al-star amateur bouts in White City Stadium to- morrow night.
 Both of these boys have been consistent winners on the Rock shows this season and their battle is bound to be one of the high lights of Gray starlight presenta- tions. Roberts last week was the victim of an unpopular decision in his third fight with Frankie Angelo while Smith. on the same card. handed Jimmy Cans, of New Hav- en, a neat boxing lesson.
 At least four other star bouts will trot out on the b"''', boards before the fist firing is over The special pairings include: Georgi. Peck. of New Haven, vs B,ilv Scr. gin, of Waterbury: Johnny Wayn;s Windsor Locks vs Billy Jones' New Haven: Buddy Parnes. Bridgeport vs Vincent Gullo. Meriden: and Bill Carter. Windsor Locks, vs Bud Shivick. Waterbury.
 Carter and Shivick are light heavyweights whose punches are | of the variety that put man down for keeps when they land. Bergin, who faves Peck, hooked off a local | prospects last week when he 1 stopped Charlie Killman. Jones will be on the spot against Waynis but if his performance last card is any criterion Billy should be able to keep the seeking situation well in hand.
 Barnes and Gullo obliged with a free-swinging draw battle on the last program and the fans may look for 8 carbon copy in the Rock ring tomorrow night, with one of the boys putting on enough steam to carry the verdict. Gray will put on spaghetti-eating con- test as an added attraction and an- other large crowd is expected.

Recently asked an important cosmetician what he considered the most important thing to remember when applying makeup. ITO be in the right light" he said. In other words, you should be in front of a window when you put on daytime cosmetics and under an electric light when you make up your face for evening. If your dressing table never is flodded with daylight, hang a hand mirror near window. ad make up there. See that the lamps on your dress ing table are so placed as to throw light on your face and not on the mirror.
 If you know your lighting ef- fects are conductive to perfect makeup, there's no sense in dis trusting your mirror. If it tells you that you have put on enough rouge to look natural and healthy. don't add an extra coat. There's no use in trying to get on enough color to last all evening. Be sure you look right when you start out

Mac crossed to the telephone. 9"I'll find out where Tony is," he said. q went by for him but he was busy and said he'd be here in plenty of time for dinner. When Tony's busy. the sky could fall"
 He gave the operator the num- ber, waited. but there was no answer.
 "You should have brought him along" Sarah said responsibility.
 Ann's face burned at the impli- cation in Sarah's words. "Why Tony doesn't need nurse."
 Mac said. uncomfortably, Shall dash out and look about little ?"
 No" said Ann sharply. "Please, I'd rather you wouldn't"
 Mac returned to his chair. He looked sober, troubled.
 Ann said, with an effort at brightness, Let's dish up, Sarah. We won't wait on Tony. He doesn't deserve a hot dinner, being more than an hour late.'
 They sat down at the table, keep ing up the pretense of gayety. Keeping up the pretense of believ- ing Tony would come struggling in at the end. All through the long meal they were pretending, Mac doing his best, his booming bass filling the unhappy lapses.
 Afterward they stacked the dishes and put them in hot suds. Sarah and Ann would do" them later.
 Come along with us to movie, Ann, Sarah suggested. Ut will serve Tony right to find nobody home. Do you suppose he could be i'll? Maybe you should phone, Ann.'
 Presently they were gone, giving Ann the chance to crawl miserably to her room and let tears, held back so long, have their way-to weep her heart out.
 She was still awake, hours later, when Sarah returned. Still awake when Christmas chimes began to ring, heralding the advent of a glad day. And then at last Ann elept-slept until the telephone aroused her. She heard Sarah's voice, calm and cool.
 Sure, Ann's here. No, won't, She isn't awake and she didn't sleep any last night and"
 I'm awake" Ann called. She was desperately relieved. Suppose something had happened to Tony. Suppose he really was ill"

"Oh!" Then he hadn't been i'll or hurt.
 "1'm coming right over. We're having Christmas dinner together. At the swellest joint in town. Ann can you ever forgive me?" Well, thought Ann. it was best 1 to make the most of this fast waning holiday. Tony had been drinking. That hoarse note in his voice told the story. He. had prob ably stopped for a drink some | where on his way over last night. It didn't take many drinks to knock Tony out.
 "Ill get ready" she said duly. She went back to her room. Sarah fairly flung the morning newspaper at her.

 I'm glad that double-crossing
  Sarah said. If I don't miss my guess, she's lost more than her reputation"
 The story ran that a party had been in progress at Van Balen's apartment at an early hour of the morning when an inebriated and jealous husband-Marvin Walters had joined the group unexpect- edly, brandishing pistol.
 Guests had wisely barricaded themselves in, but not before the invader |, had shot at Van Balen slightly wounding him. In the ex- citement someone called the police.
 Well" said Ann, maybe it won't make any difference to Peter Kendall about his fiancee being there. Nothing seems to make any difference any more."
 Presently, she thought unhappily Tony would be explaining. And not long after that he would be kissing her-and so the hurt and disap- pointment of last night would be tucked away. Perhaps after awhile it would be forgotten.
 
 On Christmas Eve. Peter had driven Valeria out to Kendallwood to see mammoth Christmas tree which had been decorated for the children of the community. It was a brilliant spectacle, loaded with

 After the others had gone he and Valeria had driven to the park. The trees and shrubs were fam tastic shapes, covered with snow. Last night he had thought it sweet of Valeria to remember.
 The door opened and she en- tered the room. Valeria's face was white, her eyes frightened. She came to him, raising her lips to his. But Peter did not kiss her. He grasped her wrists, held her away from him and gazed coldly down at her. Valeria. whispered, Surely you don't believe those dreadful things in the newspaper! If you'll only not get excited.

 "If you don't mind, I'll wait for you here," she said. "It's terribly cold and these thin shoes are hard ly the thing for all that snow." Back in a moment" Peter said. Valeria watched, her lips curling a little. as his long strides carried him to the crowded area about the tree. People crowded about him. Shook his hand. Peter looked as though he were actually enjoying it all. How could he, with all those kids shrieking and yelling about him!
 AS the minutes passed, Valeria's irritation increased. Sometimes Peter was impossible. Letting her sit there freezing while he milled about with factory workers.
 He came up just then, two big red aples in his hand. Have one?"
 NO, thanks" Valeria replied coldly.
 Peter said, you couldn't get the picture off here in the car, Val"
 1T saw quite enough" She tried to keep the irritation out, of her voice.
 "Bored?" queried Peter quietly.
 Valeria's intuition came to her rescue, Sorry, l was such a wretch. But have a headache, I've had one all night"
 Why didn't you tell me?" He was all concern in an instant. wen stop somewhere and get something for it.
 No. I have a tablet at home that gives quick relief. And be- sides, Darling, I've just realized I haven't wrapped your present-or anybody's-and it's getting late." Surely you won't bother with wrapping when you're feeling ill" Peter said.
 "Ill be all right after I take the tablet" She seemed quite cheerful now. Suddenly her voice dropped to a soberer note. "What4 worries me is cutting our evening short. I had planned that we'd have cozy little supper some place. Just you and I, Peter" He scarcely heard her low voice. He was thinking of the way that crippled kid had grabbed at those skates. The boy couldn't use them, yet he wouldn't have exchanged them for anything on the tree. Valeria was saying, wen go riding in the park tomorrow, Peter. Remember last Christmas Ehow pretty it looked? The snow was deeper than this, wasn't it? And the trees were marvellous. Come early-about nine will be all right. Wei go to the park. It will be white and beautiful. - Peter was having breakfast alone when Don came into the dining room next morning We'll" Peter asked, lis the world coming to an end? Think of meeting you before noon." Don answered the Affectionate railery with a low growl. "Beastly head. l rang for the papers," He opened a folded newspaper. A moment later he glanced up. You haven't seen this yet, Peter?'
 NO. Anything startling ?" Don said, Well, you'll have to see it.! It's that Valeria-' Peter reached for the newspaper After a while, reading mechani- cally, scarcely taking in the details of what he read, he heard Don's voice.
