Given Big Ovation.

MRS. ARNOLD was given the big
A'A gest ovation OF the series as she
emerged victorious over the girl who
is considered coming worlds cham
pion by many experts and who
achieved triumphs this year over
Americas two tennis queens-Helen
Wills Moody as well as Miss Jacobs.
Miss Stammers conquered Mrs. Moody
prior to the Wimbledon tournament
in England.
After Mrs. Fabyan disposed Of Mrs.
Mudford with a sparkling exhibition,
featured by the Boston girls sharply
angled placements, Miss Jacobs turned
the days heralded feature encounter
into a rout. The American champion
apparently has the Indian sign" on
Miss Round. She scored her fourth
consecutive straight-set victory over
the English No. player in Wightman
Cup competition with startling ease.
Miss Jacobs took the first five games
OF the opening set and thereafter
never was in danger, despite the Sc
verify with which Miss Round lashed
out on nearly every return. The Brit
ish girls powerful stroking was more
than offset by Helen's steadiness and
ability to capitalize advantages. Miss
Jacobs benefited from the breaks"
at the outset and rarely lost control
as she chopped and sliced her way
to triumph.

Griffs Keep Trying.

EVEN in the face of these discourage

in the end. Cecil Travis batted for
Petit in the ninth and Willis Hudlin,
who had succeeded Hildebrand, walked
him on four straight balls. Kuhel,
helpless all day, then socked single
to put Travis on third base, from
where he scored, while Miles was
forcing Kuhel.
With one down and the speedy Miles
on first, the Griffs still had a fighting
chance, but Buddy Myer ruined every
thing by hitting into double play.
The second game found Lloyd
Brown, the former National, winning

Mrs. Arnold Surprises All.

THE crowd of 5000 tennis fans con-
fidently expected Miss Stammers
to even the count again, sending the
series into the final doubles match for
decision. So did every one else, with
the exception of Mrs. Arnold. The
Californian lifted her game to superla-
tive heights, with the cup at stake,
and thoroughly justified the conf
dence placed in her by the United
States Selection Committee. which
named her to take Mrs. Fabyan's place
as No. 2 singles player.
Mrs. Arnold's steadiness of her un-
orthodox and seemingly awkward
backhand was the decisive factor as
she outplayed her young English rival
in the first set and came back bril-
liantly in the third after having her
advantage wiped out Miss Stammers
turned the tide with blistering drives
in the second set, playing with the
same dash that carried her to triumph
over Miss Jacobs yesterday, but she
failed to sustain the pace.
Coming back after brief rest for
the third set, Mrs. Arnold attacked
SO aggressively that she took three
games in a row. Miss Stammers rail-
lied to capture the next two. but she
could not keep the diminutive Cali
fornian on the defensive for long.
Covering court with remarkable sgil-
ity and making spectacular recoveries.
many Of them for placements that
left the English girl standing in won-
derment, Mrs Arnold battered her
way to victory by a decisive margin.
Miss Stammers wilted finally under
pressure, lost her service four times
in the final set and double -faulted
for the final losing point.

Takes OFF Pressure.

THE triumph for the diminutive Los
Angeles matron, unranked nation
ally since 1880, when she was No. 6
on the United States list and out Of
competition almost entirely for the
last two years, was the climax OF a
remarkable rally by the home forces.
The British entered the final half of
the series leading 2-1, the result Of
two stunning singles decisions yester-
day, only to have the cup defenders
settle the issue with three consecutive
victories.
It was Just as well, for the sake Of
this country's supremacy in womens
tennis, that Mrs. Arnold came through
in the clutch" The pressure was
of thereafter, but the British doubles
team of Evelyn Dearman and Nancy
Lyle nevertheless rallied to beat Caro-
lyn Babcock and Dorothy AndruS,
American pair, in the seventh and
final match, 3-6, 6-4, 6-1.
The final score thus was 4 to 3 as
the United States emerged triumphant
for the ninth time in l3 years Of
competition for the Wightman Cup.
Sarah Palfrey Fabyan of Boston and
Helen Jacobs, three-time American
singles champion, paved the way for
Mrs. Arnold's decisive conquest. To-
gethed they scored Americas first
point by winning the doubles yester-
day after Miss Jacobs had yielded to
the fiery strokes of Miss Stammers in
a singles upset. Today Mrs. Fabyan
returned to the courts to trounce
Phyllis Mudford King. 60, 6-3 and
square the count. after which Miss
Jacobs put the United States in front
with a brilliant 6-3, GO triumph
over Miss Round.

ID USSELL then reverted to his form
of this season in the Cleveland
sixth, when the Tribe rallied to
make it 6-3, but the Griffs were not
finished.
With one away in the seventh.
Thornton Lee, the wild southpaw,
walked Bolton, Russell and Joe Kuhel
in succession, filling the bases. This
brought up miles and the Chattanooga
rookie inserted double to clean the
bases and tie the score at 6-6. When
Berger threw wild to the plate trying
to catch Kuhel, the feet Miles moved
to third, and with Myer and Schultz
coming to bat it looked as though the
Nationals were -"in."
Miles double was the cue for Lee
to leave and Oral Hildebrand came
in to pitch to Myer. He did. Buddy's
best was a pop to Hale and then
Schultz followed suit, leaving Miles
stranded.
Again in the seventh Russell was
unequal to the task of checking the
Indians and once again they went
ahead, 8 to 6. Before the frame was
ended Leon Petit was pitching for
Washington.

Gas Made But Small
 Increase This Year
Sales Up Is Per Cent Customers Unchanged and Inc
 dustriaI Use off in Last Six Months Sterrett Finds

Although the manufactured gaA industry in Connecticut is looking to the future with confidence, the past year has brought no increase in customers and only a slight in- crease in gas sales, while indus trial use the gas has tapered off in the last six months in propor- tion to tho decline in manufactur- ing, indicating that the New Deal has failed to develop the necessary spirit of confidence, according to H. R. Sterrett, vice president and general manager of the New Ha- ven Gas Light company, in a state- ment reviewing 1894.
 Mir Sterrett's statement, in which he points to 50 per cent gain in house heating customers and in- creased sales of gas appliances, was as follows:
 The lack of new building dur ing the past few years has for the time halted the natural expansion of gas company distribution sys- tcms, while economic conditions have prevented any marked in- crease in the use of gas by rcsiden- tia1. commercial and industrial cuS- toners. In Connecticut compar- ing the first nine months of 1884 with the same period fo 1893, the number of gas customers showed no change, although the use of gas for all purposes increased slight ly (1.5%).
 "One of the bright spots in 1894 has been the marked increase in the use of gas for house eating. In spite of the generally unfavor- able economic conditions and the intense competition of other fuels.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-01-02

principally oil, gas heating custom CTS had increased almost 50% at the end of September as compared with the same date last year. More favorable rates and a growing real ization of the advantages of gas heat have stimulated this market and point to a bright future for the use of gas in this field.
 '"The use of gas by Connecticut factories is about in proportion to the volume of goods produced. During the latter part of 1893 and the first few months of 1934 fac- tory production, particularly among the metal trades, showed a very healthy increase. but this activity has tapered off steadily during the past six months indicating the fall ure of the New Deal to develop a feeling of confidence 50 necessary if the demand for goods is to be maintained. When general busi- ness improves. the gas industry may expect It's commercial and industrial load to increase propor- tionately.
 During the past year there has been a marked increase in the purchase of modern gas appliances for the home. The gas refrigera- tor in particular has attained a prominent position among the lead ing makes of mechanical refriger- tors and it's acceptance by the pub lie is rapidly expending. Master plumbers and hardware dealers have been important factors in promoting the sale of gas appli- ances in 1884.
 While the effect of various MIRA codes has appreciably increased the cost of producing the distribut- ing gas. and increased taxes have added a further burden, there Is a general feeling in the gas indus try that a determined effort based on better rates, a united front and an aggressive promotional policy will eventually result in the devel- opment of a substantially larger gas load. The gas industry in Con- necticut Is looking forward to the future with confidence"
