MONDAY, AUGUST 26, 1929 PAGE THREE FORMER .TEMmS-mmFIOH-mVlEWS-HIGHy LIGHTS THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON SARAH PALFREY NOMINATED AS A REAL COMER By Mary R. Browne Former national women's tennis champion New York (IP) In reviewing the women's tennis season of 139, and with due respect to its many sur prises and Its interesting person alities, we are thrilled with the game as a spectacle. We view with solemn wonder the perfection of her Ugh minded high ness, Miss Helen Wills, undisputed champion of the world, who stands pre-eminent among high spirited, high strung but not so highly de veloped opponents. - Helen Wills, lacking nothing In the mechanical perfection of her game, does, however, lack show per sonality. She leaves her gallery cold. An Englishman described Helen "the diva of pure song, the queen with the snow bound heart whom love might melt and passion poll." Helen's art is lost in her personality. Helen Wills has set a very high standard which keeps to a con sistent level. There is no athlete I know of, except Bobby Jones, who u so consistently good as Helen Wills, and I. believe it is due to their flawless style. The high lights as I see them In the tennis world during 1929 were uiese: The greatest upset the elimina tion of Senorlta D'Alvarez, Spanish champion, by Mrs. Mcllquham of England in the early rounds at Wimbledon. For three vears Sen. orlta D'Alvarez has been considered second only to Helen Wills in the world. The tennis wise discount her poor showing and still consider tne Spanish girl second best The greatest sensation the sud - den rise of Mrs. Phoebe Watson of England from comparative obscur ity to the exalted position of fin alist in the American championship wnere sne maae a wonderful show ing against Helen Wills, losing 6-4 6-2. on Saturday. The most sensational tennis and the bitterest disappointments sumisnea Dy Betty Nuthall, 18 year eld British girl. The greatest ten nis in the Wightman Cup matches which took Helen Wills to two duece sets, and the bitterest dis appointments when In the United States championships she fell a vic tim to Molla Mallory whom Helen in tne next round defeated without the loss of a same The steadiest improvement seen tn the game of Helen Jacobs, who went to me unais of the Wimble, don champlonshio. The rising champion Sarah Pal- wi iwsion, wno displayed a. bwiic su wen grounaed, so cleverly executed as to leave no doubt she is destined for the top. Bill Til den, master, mind of tennis, picks Sarah as the real comer and gives her three years more to mature. The dark horse Mary Greet of Kansas City, who went four rounds In the national championship and sprung a surprise by defeating Sar ah Palfrey, yet does not show as great potential possibilities as Sar ah. NORWAY IS SET FOR WHALING EXPEDITION Olso (IP) Norwegian shipyards and and docks are feverishly preparing lor the annual exodus of whaling expeditions for the Antartic, said to be the most Important on record. This year It is estimated that 40 million kroner will be paid out in wages to over 6000 hands which will man the various expeditions sched uled to leave Norwegian ports for tne whaling grounds. This is said to represent an Increase of three thou sand over last year's total men em ployed and represents twice the number required two years ago. The total fleet consists of 190 mall steam whalers, 37 "boiling" vessels and seven transports. Five of the latter are scheduled to oper ate in conjunction with 37 whalers .L I,, Twenty-five whal ers will operate from five land bes at South Georgia. GUESTS AT BETROTHAL PARTY GO TO HOSPITAL El Paso, Tex. (IPKJangsters In XI Paso do not even respect betrothal Parties. As the engagement of Miss Mar ino Castanero and Lucia Reyes was being announced at the latter's home, enemies of Reyes entered. Ten members of both factions became embroiled in a melee that police had difficulty In quieting. Knives flashed, guns roared and vehement curses pierced the night air. Six were sent to hospitals, Dresden OP) Viola tors of railway rules, such as that against cross ing the tracks, have become so numerous that the divisional man agement of the roads has had special receipts printed for two marks, or fifty cents.

Wilson, selves once more within tne even so roomy a battleground as" Redland field, 35,432 clients ap. peared before the turnstiles with cash in hand. They settled into their seats, or standing spaces, expecting at least a 10 round bout but really hoping for a battle of the Marne. Alter all they had been led to hope for, they saw nothing but two very business like ball games played by peaceful young men who apparently did not even know how to make a hostile gesture. Red Lucas won the open er for the home, team by six to three, his 17th triumph of the sea son, out uuy uusn turned me ta bles for Chicago in tne nigntcap, winning his 18th game by a score of 10 to 1 after being held 0 to 0 by Pete Donohue for seven rounds. The Athletics also lost Sunday when Al Thomas allowed Just four hits to win by three to 0. It was three out of tour for the White Sox over the leaders, who now nave dropped six of then- last eight. The Macklan lead remains fixed at 13 games because the Yankee record over the same period la identical. Scores National : Brooklyn 0; Philadelphia 4. . New York 10; Pittsburgh S.

"BILL" V7 ATKINS Jiwt Phot Ducks DEFEAT SEALS TWICE SUNDAY TO TAKE LEAD By the Associated Press The rejuvenated Portlan Ducks, who suddenly snapped out of a long dormant period in the cellar of the Pacific coast league, iinunea a highly successful week against the San Francisco Seals Sunday by win ning both games of a double-header to take the series seven games out of seven, and the league lead by the largest margin held by any top notcher in the last four weeks. The Ducks completed their bang- up series by downing the Seals in the morning by a 4-0 score and in the afternoon by 6 to 6. Both games were dramatic thrillers from start to finish, and were witnessed bv record sized crowds. In the first game Leroy Mahaffey blanked the San Franciscans in a beauti ful shut-out exhibition. He allow ed only four hits and held the bases empty except for three innings. In the second game the Seats did bet ter, batting Boy Chesterfield from the box in the first two innings. The Los Angeles Angels and the Seattle vidians split a doubleheader in the northern city, the Indians Using the first 6-1 and the visit, ors the second contest, a seven in- ning affair, 7 to. 3. Seattle took the series four out of seven games. The Mission Reds and the Sac ramento Senators traded even in their pair, the Reds winning 6-0 in the afternoon and the series by an odd game, while the Solons won the morning contest v to 8. Hollywood took It on the chin twice at Wrigley field, Los Angeles, at the hands of the Oakland Acorns. to 0 In the first battle, and 9-7 in the second..

(IP) When an automobile and a bull dispute the rignt-oi-way at a cross roads, the bull wins. At least Mrs. W. E. Hill- yer, prominent Longmont resident found It that way. Driving along a country road, Mrs. Hillyer endeavored to scare a bull Irom the road by tooting the horn. The bull, however, disputed the car's light to molest nun. The bull charged and the car was slow on the retreat- , One headlight, a fender and the bumper were the sufferers. FISHING PARTIES LEAVE Stayton Joseph Fisher. John Mlelke of Salem and E.

Pessimism In college football. pecially among the coaches, has gone out of style. When Oil Dobie was turning out undefeated teams at Cornell, his consistent pessimism always, furnished some good copy and comic relief. It seemed good physchology for Mr. Dobie to say he expected his undersized, if not actually under-nourished Phi Beta Kappa boys to be slaughtered by Dartmouth, Pennsylvania or Colum bia. If Kaw and Pfann happened to run a trifle wild, as they did most of the time, Gloomy Gil lifted astonished eyebrows. Other coaches quickly caught on, absorbing some of the Gildobian in fluence. But the consistent fail ures of Dobie's Cornell teams In recent years altered the situation. The ballyhoo now is in favor of optimism. Even Cornelllans, who enjoyed the general laugh over Dobie's pessimism a few ears ago, have swung around to thinking that it la not so good, after -all. At any moment the veteran coach of the ithacans may sally forth himself between all O. E. Ry points i Slants b with something approaching optim ism over the prospects for 1929. In the gym one afternoon I ask ed Babe Ruth about some of the reports, current then as now, that he was near the stage of retire ment. "Blankety-blank," be replied, In effect, "I wish these birds would lay off that stuff. Say, kid, when I am through or ready to quit, everybody will know it." This seems lair enougn.
