A mans suit worn to business
every day will last only half as
long as it would if changed daily.
Hanging a suit a day between
wearings gives the cloth a chance
to breathe, rest, spring back into
shape. Pressing won't be needed
as often-and that prolongs gar
ment life, too, for frequent sharp
creases weaken the fabric. Reduce
the "shine" of worn serge fabrics
by sponging lightly with vinegar
before pressing.

Women Tennis Stars

In the game Of tennis, we might
move in Bill Tilden against Helen
Wills and Suzanne Lenglen. ! Know
that Bill Tilden has always felt that
he could beat either go, go, go.
He has played against both often
enough to feel that his judgment in
this respect was sound. Idoubt that
either Helen Wills or Suzanne Leng-
len could ever have gotten game
from Tilden when all were at the
main peak.
Certainly no woman sprinter has
ever been within 10 yards Of Pad
dock, Wykof, Jesse Owen or the
faster males, In hundred yard or
100 meter dash. They would all be
still farther back from the 220 to
the mile.
They would be outclassed in the
high Jump, the hurdles, the broad
jump, I'm baseball, football or basket
ball. The women have continued to
break swimming records, month by
month and year by year. But they
are still well back Of every mascu-
line mark from the 100 yards 10
longer races, no matter what the
swimming style may be.
The facts are that so far the wom-
en- can't yet play games on par
with the best Of the men. In their
ranks they have nothing to COM
pare with the she-bear, the tigress,
the lioness. the female cobra, or
Twilight Tear.
But here is a peculiar slant In
the jungle the female Of the species
is even tougher than the male. But
1t is different along the highway of
civilization, If there is any such high
way left.
Montgomery County sentinel., 1944-08-17

the top three-year old of 1914, q
thoroughbred who could have won
the Derby, the Preakness and the
Belmont going away. AS 1t is she
has only won II straight races, In
cluding the $50, 900 arlington Classic.
All Of this, however, doesn't prove
that the ''female Of the species" ID
even close to dominating sport. 1
still believe Babe Didrikson, who IL
at least first class In IA major sports
including basketball, golf, tennis,
swimming, diving, football, base
ball, boxing, running, high jumping,
javelin throwing, etc., might be too
strong q combination for any male.
At least she was 10 or IL years ago.
But it Is sad news to report that
the ladies are still behind the best
of the males when It comes to rank
ing them, game by game. For one
example we might take UP golf,
game that lacks any form Of body
contact.
don't believe the best woman
golfer that ever lived could come
within 10 or IS strokes Of Byron
Nelson, jug McSpaden or Ben Ho-
gan in a 72-hole medal test over a
championship course. Joyce Weth-
cred has been the best. But / doubt
that even Joyce Wethered could
break 300 under such conditions,
where the best pros are anywhere
from 275 to 280.
Certainly such stars as Babe Did
rikson, Patty Berg, Helen Hicks,
ETC., could never meet this pro pace.
