ONLY NET MIRACLE 'TOKEEP WICHTMAN
 CUP IN AM ERICA
Even Scores in TOday's Matches Will Remove
 WOmen's Trophy
BY HENRY McLEMORE Limited Press Staff Correspondent

,(Unitcd Press Stan Correspondent l Forest Hills, N. r., Aug. 16.-- | UP) The Wightman cup, that l massive trophy emblematic of
 women's amateur tennis suprem-
 acy, seemed headed for England
 and a reunion with Its big brother, the Davis up, when the girls of the United States and England
 met today in hte concluding four
 matches of the international con-
 petition.
 Leading two matches to one as
 b result of clean sweep by Dor othy Round and Kay Stam-
 mers in yesterdays opening sngles brushes, the English need but an even break today to gain the four 1 points necessary for removal of l the cup. The U. S. team has tri- umphed the last four years, but
 only a miraculous reversal of form ! will extend the winning streak to l five.
 Schedule
 Three singles and one doubles engagement will be played today. In the opening encountre Mrs. Sarah Palfrey FaFbyan meets Mrs. lPhyllis Mudford King. Mrs. Fab van, q distince in-and-outer, has | the game to level the score at Itwo-an, but she has been badly off Horn all season and only her top
 game is good enough ta vanquish the powerful hitting Phyllis.
 Mrs. Fabyan, however, has
 knack of rising to the occasion.
 She saved the cup last year when
 she turned in two surprising vic tories over Miss Round and Miss Etammers.
 The second match will pit Helen
 Jacobs against Miss Round. Nor mally this would be a toss-up, but
 Miss Jacobs looked none too good | in losing to Miss Summers yester- day, while Miss Round was m ag- nificent in routing Mrs. Ethel Burkhardt Arnold of Los Angeles. | Scared?
 Tn the third singles match Mrs. l Arnold meets Miss Stammers and lunless she recovers from the at- tack of stage fright which sspoiled her game yesterday, will lose in SetSs II sllS CetI oFOkSOlhS her nervousness, however, and play the game with which she won at Seabright, she has an equal Ichance. Miss Summers can be beaten by speed, and the stocky Californian, in form, has more pace than any woman player in the world.
 The British are favored in the doubles match which brings the eompetition to a close. Nancy Lyle and Evelyn Deerman, while only second rate singles players, form perhaps the most formidable dou- ibles team Britain has produced in yeags. They will oppose Carolin Babcock of California and Dorothy Andrus Burke of Stamford, Conn. Officials hope for an improved hrowd today. Despite perfect weather. fewer than 2,000 paid customers were in the stands for the opening day.

A bit of deliberation on tomor- rows schedule makes 1t appear as If the Sacred Heart and Tribune A. c. tilt at 1:45 o'clock is the most important game of the day. Man. ager Harry Melvin feels that the coast is clear after tomorrow if he can get past the Tribunes, who will put a team on the field that will be. strong enough to win the tough- est kind of a struggle. Run1or has and "Fay" Vincent will be in Tri- bune uniforms tomorrow in an ef- fort to knock the Hearts out of the running, which will take form should the Tribes win tomorrow and the Hills take over the Recre. ations, which they are expecetd to do, without too much trouble. At- wood quit the Tribes two weeks ago but is back to work.
 Warm.Up Today
 As a tightener, the Hearts go to Torrington this afternoon to meet the c. c. c. team, an outfit which shut out the Hills last week, 1.0, in great game, "Cider" Maxwell losing tough contest. Ray Hol- den and Vic Radevich, first base man and left fielder for the Hearts will work out against their Wa terbury teammates today, for no particular reason. Speed" Conway will hurl for Torrington. i..
 Three Games More
 Myles ,Kelley's Brooklyn A. c. which also figures in the picture though quite dimly, meets the North End Thomas club tomorrow at 1:45 o'clock, though they can do no better than tie for the lead if the Hearts and Hills drop dead. Three more games of league com petition remain for the teams, the championship outfit leaving for Cleveland, September 5th.
 Tn their first meeting of the sea- son, the Tribunes shut out the Hearts 80 for the only blank against the east end outfit. In. the second game, the Hearts won 2 to l. Tomorrow's third game should be a hummer.

Six Teams Resume Post poned Action in Sun-
 day Circuit

Having been forced to postpone its scheduled games last Sunday, six teams in the Public Parks league will endeavor to resume play with weather permitting, to- morrow afternoon.
 : The feature game of the day will be between the North End Hillies and Waterbury A. c. An- other good contest Is carded for Waterville where the Hamiltons and Wilson's will engage in a friendly combat.

 :. Waterbury A. c. and the North End Hililes meet in the feature attraction at Fulton park Ralph Santopietro and his charges have pointed to- this game with great importance, as his team went through several hard workouts. Ed Koslosky and Bob wookey are expected to be rival hurlers. A defeat for. either tean, means their elimination from the title chase. With 8 determination of winning both teams are looked upon by, the fans to put on a great battle. Such players as Fusco, Rinaldi, Romeo, Whitaker, Tough1in. R. West arc on1v a few of the players who will be seen in this contest. %"
 The c. & C.. team after a two weeks layoff, meet Steve Meleski's St. Stanislaus nine in the opener. The defending champions ar anx- ious to get back into the win col- umna but the Saints who have had a rather bad season, hope to make it a fairly. successful one with a victory over the Italian champions. Cappola may start for the c. & c. with Kociezowski.
 Up at Waterville park, the league leading Wilson's will be faced with the task of defeating the ever dangerous Hamiltons. In orfder to maintain their clean slate the Brooklyn team must win, as defeat will put them back in a tie with the winner of the Hillie and Waterbury A. c. game. Man ager Bernier of the Hamiltons in a last minute statement to-day said, his team will be on top in tomorrow's battle. Ray Dunn and Overton are to be rival pitchers.
