Farreil, United Press Staff Correspondent) New York, Aug. 17 —With Helen Wills badly off her game and apparently not in the best physical condition, a new national tennis champion may be crowned in the tournament starting today at Forest Hills. Even with her best game and her regular equipment, the young California girl would be in danger against such a game as Miss Elizabeth Ryan, the former California star, and Miss Kathleen McKane, the ace of the Biitish Wightman cup team have been playing. The virile game of the California girl demands a lot of power amfj strength as she depends chiefly upon! hard driving and a fast pace. She lias not been covering court like she did last season and she has to keep strictly cn the offensive for selfpi otection. Sixty-fcur lf.aiyprs, Onfluding the best in England, Canada and the United States wP.I start play this afternoon in the championship tournament. AH of the visiting British players were scheduled iin the draw and the Americans who were scheduled were Miss Wills, Miss Ryan, Miss Molla Mallory, Miss Eleanor Goss, Miss] Mary K. Browne and Mrs, Marion Jessup. 0 Tennis Tournament To Be Held At Dunkirk There will be an Eastern Indiana Open Double Tennis Tournament held at Dunkirk, Indiana, on September 6 and 7.

MOTOR POLICE j DECLARE WAR State Cops Determined To -j Round Up Violators Os Automobile Laws : ’j Indianapolis, Aug- 17 — Imposing of the maximum penalties for auto drivers violating tne state motor vehicle laws was recommended today by William Hamilton, assistant chief of the state motor police ns a certain means of cutting down the number of auto accidents. i ] Hamilton announced the state polio" are starting a new campaign lo round up speeders and reckless drivers and motorists who blind oilier drivers w ith bright lights. - The number of arrests made by th? I state police is already far in excess of the number made up to the present time in any previous year. | "We are going to hear down and enforce the law to the letter", Hamilton said. “We want to make accidents so infrequent that when one Coes happen it will be real news. "The state police will recommend that no leniency he shown offenderbrought into court. Second and thiro offenders should be given a few days in jail wherever possible under the law”. The new campaign to make state highways safe for motorists in spite of themselves is aimed at: Speeders who forget the state law prohibits driving more than 35 miles hour. Reckless drivers who take needless chances at the peril of their own lives and those of other motorists. The driver who finds it too much trouble to switch o nhis dimmers when another car approaches. Drivers who think they can see the ropd with one light. Cars operating without license (dates or with only one license. Cars without registration cards or cases. The new state law, Hamilton pofrted out, requires that dimmers he swit. cited on when another car approaches. Failure to obey this section of the law is responsible for more accidents than any other one single cause. Hamilton said. "The minimum fine for failure to use dimmers is $lO and the maximum is $100,” Hamilton said, "i want to see them get the maximum and it will he’p them remember bettor next time.
