I ffIEST HILLS I TOURNEY OPENS I Miss Helen Wills Begins I 'Fight To Win Baek Amer--1 ican Tennis Title H By Henry L. Farrell, ■ (f. p. Staff Correspondent) 1 yvw York. Aug. 22. — Miss Helen | wills, who was the first of the inI creasing number of “unofficial AmerI jean ambassadors to Europe,” will beH g ia on the turf courts at Forest Hills I today her fight to win back the AnierI ican national tennis championship. ■ Before Hobby Jones and the transI Atlantic fliers had been extolled as ■ agents groping the hands across the I sf 3, Helen Wills started selling the United States to Europe and she is [ j„ st back from another selling trip which won for her the Wimbledon championship in which were entered the greatest amateur players in the world. If she wins at Forest Hills this week she will be the undisputed amateur champion of the world—and a 1 most popular one. Mlle. Suzanne Lenglen is no longer a member of the amateur family and some good authorities such as Mary f K. Browne believe the young American girl could beat the French star with the game she is now playing. So well is she playing that she is a prohibitive favorite to regain the title tha: is now held by the veteran Mrs. Molla Mallory. In the field of entries are several British women, captained by Mrs. Kitty McKane Godfree, one of the greatest players in the game; Miss Kea Bournan, the Dutch champion, and such good American players like Miss Helen Jacobs and Miss Eleanor Goss. The foreign players, however, are notin the best of condition as result of the terrible weather of recent weeks and their game naturally cannot be at its best. Miss Bouman is in such bad condition she may be unable to statr. Mrs. Godfree has been suffering from a severe cold. Her teammates Betty Nuthall, the child of Wimbledon, and Gwendolyn Sterry are formidable players, but they lack the experience and the "feel” of the west side club courts to make them dangerous. o ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ WATCHING THE SCOREBOARD ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ (By United Press) The Pittsburgh Pirates 2 to 1 vcii tory over the Brooklyn Dodgers ad- | vanced them within three games of the league-leading Chicago Cubs who were idle because of Massachusetts’ blue laws. The victory gave the ! Buccaneers a clean sweep of the two game series. The game was a pitchers' battle between Carmen Hill and Bill Doak. Wrights' single in the ninth, scoring Cuyler, decided the affair. The New York Giants advanced within a game of the third place Cardinals, who were idle, by taking a double-header from Cincinnati, 9 to 8 and 6 to 1. Leslie Mann’s pinch hit double in the ninth, scoring three runs, decided the first contest. Mann’s home run with a man on third also featured the second game. Hornsby hit his 22nd homer of the season. The winning streak of the St. Louis Browns was run to six straight by virtue of their double defeat of the Boston Red Sox, 5 to 0 and 4 to 3. Glider’s fine pitching in the first game was the high spot of the day. Willis Hudlin's great relief pitching enabled the Cleveland Indians to defeat, the New York Yankees, 7 to 4. Hudlin relieved Buckeye with the bases full and none out. The Yankees succeeded in scoring but one run before he retired the side, after which he allowed but two hits. Babe Ruth was forced out of the game in the first inning when he injured his back in swinging at a pitched ball. Willie Karam's error on Cochrane’s Top fly in the first inning permitted the Philadelphia Athletics to score four runs, after which they were sever headed in their 8 to G victory over the Chicago White Sox.- Extra base hitting by both the Sox and Athletics kept a constant stream of Pitchers coming into the game. Seven in alt were used. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Johnson and fammotored to Markle Sunday and s Pent the day with relatives.

' AMATEUR GOLF TOURNEY OPENS 163 Os Best Amateur Golfers In America Tee Off At Minneapolis By Clark B. Kelsey, United Press Staff Correspondent Minikahda Country Club, Minneapolis, Minn., Aug 22—(UP)One hundred and sixty-three of the best tunatuer golfers on the continent were ready to tee oft over the Minikanda Club course today in the qualifying round of the 31st National Amateur championships began. Rain which hail started shortly after midnight had soaked the course and despelled practically all hope of sensational scores. John Ridick of Omaha and Raymond Daly of Chicago were the first to leave the first teeThe player who makes his tee shot whistle straight down the fairway and who can make his putts behave on on marcelled greens, is destined to emerge champion, for the fairways are narrow, guarded by spiky rough, and many of the greens are undulating slopes. George Von Elm, defending champion, who hails from Los Angeles, and Bobby JoJnes, of Atlanta, twice amateur titleholder and present British open champion, were the favorites as play opened, with George Voigt, of Washington, given- a very good chance. For half a dozen years, Jones has shown the greatest consistency of any living player. Von Elm may be his superior in the use of iron clubs but the Minikahda Club course offers little opportunity for those. Wooden club shots should predominate, and with his timber sticks Jones is pretty . much every Golfer’s master. Because of his sure putting touch, Voigt is given an excellent chance to finish well up. His 71 for the practice round yesterday was the best score turned in for the day. Next came Von Elm's 72. The Pacific coast golfer sank a 12-foot putt on the home green to square a foursome match in which he and Bob Gardner were opposed by Bobby Jones and Max Marston. Jones’ 73, however, elated the large following Itobby always has, as there was talk here Bobby was over-golfed. The 73 was remarkable considering that Bobby spent quite a bit of his time visiting sand traps. There were those as always, who maintained' Bobby’s frequent visits to the traps was due to a desire to become, accustomed to themo — Billy Evans’ Brother To Enter Ring Game Van Wert, Ohio, Aug. 22.— Glenn Black, former manager of Billy Evans, light weight boxer, announced that he will introduce Dude Evans, colored, Billy’s brother, to the ring fans in September, when the local Elks will give a boxing smoker in their hall. Dude has never been in a match affair but has worked with the mits for a long time. Black says he appears to be very promising in ability. His opponent for the September debut has not been selected. — —o Junior Band Notice Members of the Junior Band are requested to meet on the court house square at 12:15 o'clock and at Bellmont Park at 1:15 o’clock, prompt, Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.

Trappers Os Frozen Nort Reception Os Rad By William J. Fagan, (U. P. Staff Correspondent) New York, Aug. 22. —(UP) North of "53", in Hie frozen stretches of Hudson's Bay and Labrador, It seems, the Inhabitants get just as excited over a championship prizefight as do their less hardy brethren sitting at the ringside or In an easy chair beside a radio loudspeaker. At least, this is the conclusion to he drawn from a report of radio reception made by W. A. Dinwoodie, radio log keeper of the Hudson's Bay Company post ut Richmond Gulf, made to George A. Wendt of the Canadian Westingiiouse company, who for years has arranged broadcasts of news, personal messages and musical programs for missionaries, trappers and others whose work carried them into the Far North. On December 3, 1926, after radio reception at Richmond Gulf had been practically nil for a week Dinwoodie stumbled upon WEHB. Chicago, broadcasting the middleweight championship bout between Tiger Flowers and Mickey Walker. Mere than a page of Dlnwoodie’s log is taken up with a description of the account of the bout and its preliminaries, ending with the amusing sentence, “We could hear distinctly a fellow going around selling ‘ice cold drinks.' It was ‘ice warm drinks' we were thinking about'." Dinwoodie again accidentally tuned in a championship fight, this time between Jack Delaney and Bud Gorman, although reception conditions were such that neither the station broadcasting the fight nor the result could be ascertained. Reports of reception recently by Wendt come from men in trading thqpughout northern Canada and from missionary stations of the Roman Catholic church. Each Saturday night throughout the winter season, the Westinghouse stations, KDKA, KYW and WBZ, broadcast special program for the dwellers of the section just below and beyond the Arctic Circle. Reception of KDKA throughout the winter of 1926-1927 was almost uniformly good throughout the Hudson Bay and Labrador teritories, according to the carefully kept logs. WBZ and KYW were reeceived with indifferent success on the occasions of their broadcasts. Personal messages to men and women of the north from friends and relatives “back home,” or from associates on leave or business in the United States or lower Canada, make up the bulk of the Saturday night broadcasting. Radio, when conditions are right, has succeeded in ’bringing cheer to those who are virtually removed from all contact with civilization. The supply boats every six months are their only other link to the world left behind. Typical conditions at a Hudson Bay company in Labrador are related in a letter written by W. A. Smith, company clerk at the Port Burwell post. “The population consists of a few families of Eskimos, two mounted policemen (of Royal Canadian Mounted), the post manager and his wife and the clerk (myself),” Smith writes. “The valley where our houses are located is known as ‘Happy Valley’ and all around are bare hills, absolutely devoid of any foliage, the nearest trees being situated about 300 miles from here.” Smith apologizes for not having kept a log of reception. "I’m unable to give any account of what's going on, because all our valves burst sometime ago,” he says ("Valves” is the English equivalent for American “tubes.”) “This is where the mail starts for the long trek through the country,” he continues. "It goes first to Fort Chimo, thence to Fort Mackenzie and from there right down to Seven Islands on the St. Lawrence. This is 5c LETS YOU IN Puts You in on the Ground Floor of a Real Smoke Treat Buffaloes are bringing joy nowadays. Real smoke enjoyment! For all you need is a nickel to get more downright smoking pleasure than was ever bought before at anywhere near the price. All you need to get a real Havana Ribbon cigar—fresh and mellow from the box—is five cents! You’ve heard a lot about 5c cigars that are “really worth more.” But here’s one that actually sold at more—and sold big—for years. Sheer popularity and volume sales, alone, have made possible this new low price of a nickel. Havana Ribbon is a real smoke. The kind you’d pick regardless of price! Just packed with mellow fragrance and satisfaction—made of ripe tobacco. Now—sc! • But, after all, a smoke’s the thing that counts. Try Havana Ribbon. Drop in at a nearby cigar store and invest a lucky nickel. You won’t be disappointed.

th Tell About ciio Programs From U. S. all done by dogs mid, In all, takes throe months from here.” The complete logs received from the Richmond Gulf post are remarkable some nights, six to eight stations being tuned in with ease, while on other nights not a whistle is reported. The special Far North broadcasts of the Westinghouse stations are reported rather completely, but musical programs, news and the descriptions of sports events also were heard. Stations logged include WJZ, Now York, WRC. Washington, WGHP, Detroit, CHIC, Toronto, CFCF, Montreal, WGY, Schenectady, WBBM, Chicago, CKY, Winnipeg. CNKW, Winnipeg, WCBD, Zion, WHO. Des Moines, WGN, Chicago, WIOD, Miami, Fla., WEBH. Chicago, \VJAZ, Chicago, WSAI, Cincinnati, and WTAM, Cleveland. The logs of the Oblate Mission Fathers at Chesterfield Inlet, an arm of Hudson's Bay near the northwest extremity, more than 1,600 air miles from New York, cover the period from September of last year to February of -this year.
