HELEN SPARKLES

w YEYBRIDGE, England, June
AA| S.-Helen wills Moody ap-
v Y parentiy proposes to re-
sume her old habit Of
walking on with tennis titles.
The former American champion,
in competition for the first time since
she defaulted to Helen Jacobs In the
American championship In 1888, TO-
day faced Mrs. Elsie Goldsack Pitt
man, defending titlist, in the st.
Georges Hill tournament.
The comely Helen gained the final
round yesterday. when she gave an
exhibition that obviated further
queries about the condition Of her
back in defeating Billy Yorke, Eng
lish chop stroke artist, 6-1, ".
Mrs. Moody's play had been more
or less uninspiring until yesterday
and the galleries were wondering
whether she still favored the injury
which caused her to default to Miss
Jacobs. Against Miss Yorke. how
ever, she unleashed the power that
formerly featured her game and swept
the English miss before her as ap-
plause broke from the astonished gal
lery. It was evident that she still
was favorite with English tennis
fans.
Meanwhile, at Wimbledon, polish
ing her game for the coming all
England championships, Helen Jacobs
was apprised of the progress of her old
rival. They were expected to meet
In that tournament.
Mrs. Moody hit only one streak OF
wildness In vanquishing Miss Yorke
yesterday. That was In the second
set, when she permitted her English
rival to take q 81 lead.
Mrs. Pittman gave q skillful exhi-
bition in defeating Mrs. Eileen Ben
nett Whittingstall. 6-3, Ga, to gain
the final round.

who stood at l53 or better.
This list included Thomson, Kruger,
Espinoza. Also Horton Smith, Olin
Dutra, Paul Runyan and Walter

But the man to beat remained the
same-Gene Sarazen. Gene had q
round Friday that might have been
Sc or Is. That Is Sarazen. He
opened fire with three brides. He
holed three good puts in q row.
Then he slipped into his first in
many rounds-the first 6 ne had

green with for 80. He blew
up here when he missed his tee shot
and later some individual, who had
overindulged in alcoholic brew,
called out just as he started to putt.
As q result, Sarazen took three
puts from IL feet for 7. Yet even
with a 2 and q 6 on his card he was
out In 50. one under par. Only q
Sarazen could have done this. A Z
and q at Oakmont on that first
nine usually mean 40 or Al. But
Sarazen had four brides to match
this breakdown.
II was keyed up to spread-eagle the
field" he told me later, when that
souse threw me out Of stride. 1t took
me some time to get started again.
But I know I am hitting the ball as
well as I ever did. and I'll take my
chance on the stretch running"
After this three-putt upset on the
ninth, Sarazen three-putted three
green's coming home. but he finished
only three shots back of Thomson. the
leader. and only one shot out Of Sec

ONE Of the big features Of Jimmy

give you some idea of the broad

His tee shot travelled more than 800
yards over soft fairways, and his spoon

As o result of an afternoon that

MAYOR WARNED

Council Bluffs, Ia.. July 20- (UP)-Mayor Hugh Finerty threat ened today to ask martial law for Council Bluffs unless striking street car employees cooperate to end rioting which drove trans from streets last night.
 The mayor invaded an open air meeting of strikers, angered by shooting of two of their number, to deliver his ultimatum.
 Finerty also warned officials of the Omaha & Council Bluffs Street Railway company thatp office pro- lection for their cars will be with held if they do not abide by an agreement under which a tenta- tive settlement of the three months old strike recently was reached at Omaha.
 The company ordered all street cars out of the Council Bluffs area after a violent demonstration by strike sympathizers in which Dick Stephenson and James Dawson were injured. Stephenson was shot by W. R. Inman, a strike breaker. Daws on was cut by a flying staple. Inman fired when rioters stoned his automobile as hedrove to the car barn. The crowd subsequently, overturned and burned the car. Police escorted Inman to safety.
