Governor Hoey said, both want

want to fight, we should certainly
be willing to sell our goods to those

IT is safer to sell supplies than

France can win this war, that is
our best security for peace"
To refuse to adopt a policy of

The governor spoke at exercises

congratulated the school on its "dis-

Turning then to world affairs, he

Maidstone Final
To Marble After
Losing Start
Jacobs Wins Opening
Set, Then Fades in
Errotic Struggle
By the Associated Press.

| By the Associated Press.
EAST HAMPTON, N. Y, Aug. S.
Alice Marble, American and VIM
bledon champion, kept her 1889
| tournament record unblemished
when she defeated plucky Helen
Jacobs. 7-9, Ga, 60, today to win
the coveted Maidstone Club invita-
ton tennis tourney.
| For the second time in the tourna-
ment, however, Alice suffered the
embarrassment of dropping a set.
Miss Pauline Betz of Los Angeles
achieved the feat first in a quarter
final engagement.
Miss Jacobs, her trap shots func-
| tlonlng in impressive fashion, had
| things her own way for most of the
first set. She built up 5-3 advan-
tage and with her own service COM
ing up, it appeared she might wrest
the set from Miss Marble in regu-
lation time.
Alice Is Inconsistent.
Here, however blond Alice in
| augurated rally that swept Miss
Jacobs aside easily. Miss Marble,
driving deep to the corners, gave
her veteran adversary no opportu-
nifty to chop the ball. When Helen
at last held her own service to lead
once again, 6-5. it was due mainly
to Miss Marbles loss of control on
her forehand.
With the score 81, Miss Jacobs
cracked Alice's service as Alice ran
into an erratic streak, netting twice,
allowing herself to be passed at the
net and then double faulting at set
point.
Neither of the following sets car
ried any of the appeal or excite
ment generated in the first. In the
second session, there were seven
service breaks in all, plus much err
ratio stroking by both players. Miss
Jacobs offered her chop strokes too
close to back court and Miss Marble
was able to return them fiat on the
run.
Change of Pace UpSets Helen.
Alice forced Helen into straight
away hitting game in the final set,
and Helen. deprived of her valued
subtlety, was an easy victim. The
change of pace so upset her that
she drove her returns far over the
baseline or else smacked them into
| the center of the net
Miss Jacobs could try no angle
shots in this set. She played strictly
on the defensive and seemed to have
lost all her form during intern1is-
sion. The entire set consumed only
10 minutes.
The champion team of Miss Mar
BILE and Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fabyan
of Brookline, Mass, defeated Miss
Jacobs and her partner, Nine Rene
