CAN FRANCISCO, March IA
The comeback trail loomed TO-
~ day for Mrs. Helen Wills
Moody, as the former Amer
lean and world champion woman
tennis player laid plans for daily
practice with the hope of again be-
coming an international competitor.
On a private court here yesterday
the former queen of the courts swung
her racket in practice for the first
time since 1888, when a back injury
forced her out of the national cham
pionships.
Only Howard Kinsey, former inter-

court. She returned to her home
afterward and made little comment.
Kinsey Is Impressed.

Kinsey said. Il was impressed
with her technique, and she did
everything in proper balance"
So went the return TO the courts Of

title and forging to victory in the

Mrs. Moody was forced TO default TO
Helen Jacobs during the 1888 matches
because of displaced vertebra.
She said then she would play again,
and yesterdays workout, which in
cluded blackboard practice and service
topped by a run around the courts,
proved her determination.
IRIS. MOODY, who took up SWIM

strengthen her back, has fol-
lowed the fortunes of others in her
favorite sport during her absence from

She frequently stops to watch 9TH

panied by one Of her prize Sealyham

may give trouble on that count.
The only basis Of comparison be-

by william Muldoon as "dreadnaughtS'

their meetings with the comparatively

toppled from the champion
ship last year by Max Baer, was a
3-to-1 favorite today to conquer Ray
Impellitiere in the battle Of the Behe-

An overnight shift in the odds IA
vored the Italians first step toward
another shot at the title. Indications
were that the margin might increase
before the giants enter the ring.
Primo, despite the doubts that have
been raised at various times about his
power to deliver real punches, has a
big edge in experience and has de-
veloped into a fine boxer for a man
of his size.
The real attraction which was ex-
pected to draw the seasons biggest
fight crowd to the Garden, however
was the bulk Of the two contestants.
Camera weighs 260 pounds in fight
ing trim. Impellitiere carries pounds
less, but the Imp's 6 feet tx inches
hoist him a half-inch above Primo.
That alone should provide plenty Of
action if they fight up to their size.

FRANCE SUFFERS

Paris, Aug.

In its economy campaign, the government has brought the maritime workers in- to open revolt against the wage cuts enforced on them, as we'll as on other groups directly or indi- rectly under government control.
 Brest, Cherbourg, Le Havre, Toulon and St. Nazaire were among the ports affected by the strikes. Violent demonstrations broke out at Cherbourg.t Brest was smonl- dering ominously after two days of rioting in which one man was killed and many injured.
 St. Nazaire seamen threatened to follow the lead of the others and tie up liners at that port. The only hopeful sign, of the day was an agreement by seamen of the French line to call off their strike and permit the steamer Champlain to sail, more than "A hours late.

 Bullitt has been watching devel- opments at the congress ever since it started.

$8, 3O5 Compensation Giuen Alfred Boucher
Award is Made By Com. Lynch Against Railway Ex- press Agency nc-Doctors About Evenly
 Divided in Regard to Injuries

Alfred Boucher of 14S Elliott avenue, may possibly receive com pensation amounting to $8,305 from the Railway Express Agency Inc. according to an award handed down today by Compensation Com missioner James M. Lynch. The award states Boucher is to have hospital, doctors and nursing bills paid and that he is to receive weekly compensation of $14.22 un- til his incapacity shall have dim- finished or ceases, not exceeding, however, the period of 520 weeks.
 The case was a hard one to de- termine, chiefly because six doc- tors who testified, offered di- versity of opinion on the mans injury. The injury. is described in simple language as a ruptured stomach ulcer. In referring to the case, Commissioner Lynch states: There appears to be great di- versity of opinion among members of the medical profession as to whether or not strain or exertion may rupture a duodenal ulcer. Each case must stand or fall on the evidence offered and the facts found in each particular instance.
 Doctors Disagree
 "In this matter three doctors testified very convincingly that the claimant suffered a disability as result of an injury which arose out of and in the course of his em- ployment. Three other medical
