' She Is accompanying her husband on a tour of the French colonies along tho southwest coast of the Mediterranean. The young hostess of the American embassy In Paris, daughter of a Maine shipbuilder, is going to collect Mor occan ship figureheads and models to complete her marine collection, one of the most extensive private ones In existence. To Ambassador Edge the tour means a study of French colonial de velopment In Tunis, Algiers and Mor occo. To his wife, descendant of a line of shipbuilders whose vessels have girdled the globe, it represents a chance to study the picturesque craft of the Barbarry coast, a dream since her debutante day3. Her collection of souvenirs of the sea, now housed In her mother's home In Bath. Me., was acquired on travels through Europe and the United States. It contains a variety which ranges from models of Guinea vessels to whaling ships. Mrs. Edge has maintained a lively interest in both maritime and politi cal affairs since her girlhood, when her father. Loyal 1 Sewall, a shipbuild er of Bath, was United States minis ter to Hawaii. She spent her debu tante days in Washington, D. C. There she met Edge, then Republican sena- 7 tor from New Jersey. Although she is tne youngest wiie of any ambassador in the United States diplomatic corps she Is only j 28 she Is credited with many a sound i nlofa rf nrHtlrai rmincal Tlio nn en Tpfprtf nrVkTlYfrftt i antl tranquillity with which she pre LCACilL JLUilliiLlal sides have given her social affairs a l flair. j mf ' , I "You can't compare her to anyone: NEW JORK, March 25 (ff) With else." say attaches of the embassy, tennis history repeating Itself and She has too much personality to be I the United states losing the doubles, , nkc anybody.

Borotra and Boussus defeated George Lott Jr., and John Van Ryn In the doubles match of tho interna tional competition last night to give France what may prove to be the margin of vlcory. The Americans' defeat was achieved In straight sets, 7-5, 0-4, 6-4, with the happy-go- lucky Borotra playing the major part. , A similar situation prevailed last i summer at the end of the second day's play for the historic Davis cup with America trailing one match to two. American Tennis Forces Facing we can hear tho echoes from Cata lina Island : What about Elwood Eng lish of tho Cubs? For the time being they can t be compared on the spot by this ob server, but tho records and the testi mony are strong enough to enable English to dispute Gclbert's claim to top rank, confining the debato for the moment to the National league. English outhlt Gelbert by a sub stantial margin last year, posting an average of .335, tho best of his career. The Cub star Is 24. but this is his fifth major league campaign, where as Gelbert Is Just starting his third. English also came along like a house afire last year and no less an authority and neutral observer than Col. Dan Howley of the Beds thinks that Elwood's batting gives him the edge over Gelbert. up to the present. HI T JOB HIT .3W So far as the American league Is concerned, the boys can argue all evening about the respective merits of English and Gelbert, then look over the ace of the shortstoppers, Joseph Crouln, who batted .340 and had as much to do as any Individual with the sensational rise of the Wash ington Senators last season. Cronln, also 24, Is rangier, heavier and more of a slugger than either English or Gelbert. He played spec tacularly afield and was voted tho American league's most valuable player In 1930. All three of the youngsters. In a year, have leaped away up toward the front and become stars In a position that seemed to be shy of Its old class. All three will be very much in the limelight this year. 1)11) VOU KNOW THAT The late Christy Mathewson was a great checker player ... he drew a $500 fine from McGrew for letting a checker game make him miss a traim . . .
