BETTY JACOB IS
EASILY BEATEN
|NBUTTWOSETS
Pair Opposes Again
In Doubles Play
BY HARRY COSTELLO

CHEVY CHASE PLAY
GROUND, Aug. II. - Molly
Thompson, sturdy 13.year-old
Chevy Chase Playground net star,
today won the Junior girls singles
championship by scoring a sur.
prisingly easy straight set victory
over Betty Jacob, Of Montrose,
81, 6-3.
Miss Thompson today was at
her very best. She volleyed beau
tifully. scored placement and
placement, and her forehand fore
ing shots caused her blonde OPP
ponent to net the ball frequently.
Betty's forehand smashes were
wild and in only three games
third, fifth and sixth Of the Sec
ond set-did she show any sta
bility with her favorite stroke.
Miss Jacob, who collapsed yes
terday at the conclusion Of a long
second set, today showed no Iii
effects from her illness Of yester-
Gay and Molly's victory was 50
clearcut as to leave no doubt
whatsoever as to the superior
player today.
Replay of Last
Today's final match of the De-
partment Of Playground tourna-
ment was a replay OF yesterdays
match which was vitiated when
Betty collapsed after Betty had
taken the first set Ga, and Molly
had taken the second set, 81.
In today'S match, Molly repeated
Betty's achievement Of yesterday
by winning the first four games
of the first set. In these four
games Molly ran Betty ragged,
sending her from one side of the
court to the other in vain efforts
to retrieve Molly'S nicely executed
shots.
In the fifth game Of the first
set Molly seemed to go to pieces.
She was wild with her forehand
drives and Betty won this game
on Molly's errors rather than on
her own strength.
Clever Passing
Molly took the sixth and seventh
games after each had gone to
deuce by executing clever passing
shots as she drew Betty to the
net. In the second set Molly won
the first two games as Betty went
wild with her powerful forehand
drives.
Betty played excellent tennis in
the third game Of the second set
and Molly was unable to handle
Betty'S terrific forehand smasheS.
After Molly had won the fourth
game Of the second set-a love
game - Betty offered her best
tennis Of the day to take the fifth
and sixth games, allowing Molly
only three points for the two
games.
Won Three Games
Molly then played her best
tennis OF the match and won the
next three games, set and match,
as she again ran Betty ragged by
clever placementS-most of them
executed when Betty came to the
net in aggressive fashion.
A good-Sized gallery. including
Molly ThompSon's parents, wit.
messed the match. A number Of
Department OF Playground off
Gals were in the gallery, among
them Dick Tennyson, head of
the Department of Fairgrounds.
Molly and Betty will oppose
each other again tomorrow,
when Betty, paired with Harriet
Gordon and representing Mon
troSe, meets Molly paired with
Margot Mink, representing Chevy
Chase.
Molly and Margot have been
installed favorites to win tomor-
rows doubles championships be.

LUXURY EQUIPMENT
BANNED BY ARMY
Soldiers in Field Must Learn to
Rough It Without Home
Comforts.

Officers of the National Guard who
have formed the practice of fixing up
their field training stations with lux
urious equipment in the field, where
they are supposed to learn how to
rough it in preparation for rigid field
operations, will have to forego them in
the future. The War Department has
sent out memorandum putting its
foot down hard on the practice, point
ing out it affects the mobility Of or
eanizations which must be increased
and not impeded
This unauthorized equipment, it was
said, includes such items as chairs,
tables. lighting equipment, special mo-
tor maintenance equipment, special
trailers, kitchen equipment, extra
tentage, special command post equip
ment and mobile post exchanges.
The War Department added the re-
suits of this practice are harmful in
many respects. Transportation, which
can be provided to meet necessities
only. is overburdened with cargo;
maintenance funds are diverted to
the maintenance of unauthorized
equipment: field efficiency of units suf-
fers from decreased mobility and one
of the basic purposes OF field duty
to train officers and men to live with
the minimum of equipment, is de-
feated The mobility of troops, it
said, must not only be preserved, but
increased 1t is patent, the depart
ment said, that the loading down of
organizations with Luxurious conven-
fences produces exactly the opposite
result.
The harmful practices, it was as
serted, have in many cases been given
impetus by the commendation Of unit
commanders by higher commanders
and inspectors for the improvisation
Of elaborate unauthorized equipment
and for changes in and additions to
prescribed equipment.
Commanding officers have been di-
rected' to take immediate steps to as
certain that this practice is not con-
tinued. and senior commanders at
tactical and other inspections have
been directed to check these practices.
