ENGLISH GIRL WINS LAURELS New York, Aug. 25. — (U.R) — A blonde, buxom young woman, who la English to the core, both in appearance and hi characteristic reserve, la the new national women’s tennis champion of the United States. Miss Hetty Nuthall, whose tennis career abroad has somewhat par nl- lied that of Miss Wills Moody, save for Helen's incident of matrimony. which gave the English girl: b'r chance at Forest Hills this year, easily won the undefended title at the west side stadium Sunday, defeating Mrs L. A. Harper of Oakland In the finals, 6-1, 6-4. As an added fillip to her cleancut triumph in the singles, Miss Nuthall paired with. Miss Sarah Palfrey, 17-year-old Boston girl, to win the doubles championship. They defeated Mrs. Harper and Miss Edith Cross of San Francisco, 3 6, 6-3, 7-6, It is the first time in 43 years of women's tennis championships that the title has been taken abroad. No one who witnessed the play at Forest Hills last week doubts that Mrs. Moody could have kept the cup here had she chosen to compete, but in the absence of ”our Helen." Miss Uuthall was far and away the best. In the final round, played between showers Sunday. Mrs. Harper, the slim graceful California star, never had a chance with the hard-hitting British gill. Betty banged her way to speedy victory in the first set, and after trailing 2-4 in the second, spurted and ran out the match. Miss Nuthall hit entirely too hard and too accurately for her opponent. Miss Nuthall's victory was a popular one. Although she began playing tournament tennis, as did Mrs. Moody, when her hair still hung down in pigtails, Betty is quite simple-mannered, quite unaffected by th? adulation of the gal lery. , The new champion is, by her own unassuming protestation, an old-fashioned girl. She has no interest in alcohol or tobacco, and not an undue amount in the gay life afforded a traveling tennis star these days. When a pretty youngster like Miss Nuthall professes a preference for bed by 10 p. m., and sewing and reading to more exciting things, it is a novelty. But that's Betty. She makes some of her clothes, embroiders, and her greatest dissipation is a frequent change of blazing bandeaux with which she wraps her blonde curls. ” BASEBALL BRIEFS * After a breath-taking series, which sent record-breaking Chicago crowds into a delirium of delight, the Cubs and Giants are resting today. The Cubs, 1929 champions, struck three telling blows in defence of tneir title, and now lead

their rivals by five games. In the last of the ninth yesterday, with the bases filled, two out and two strikes on Guy Basil, Chicago s pitcher, Danny Taylor stole home with the winning run. The score was 3 to 2. The win made it three straight ■ tor the Cubs over the Giants and may have won the championship for Chicago. The Brooklyn Robins, who sustained a similar set back at the hands of the Cubs a short time ago, were idle yesterday and are only a game ami a half behind the Giants. The Pittsburgh Pirates and the Cincinnati Reds divided a double header Sunday, Ray Kolp letting , the Bucaneers down with four hits in the nightcap after they had gone on a batting spree in the fl ret gamb. The scores were 9-6, and 2 to 0. The St. Louis Cardinals moved up to within a game of third place by taking a double header from the lowly Phillies, 9-4 and 6-4. Earl Whitehill, who had won 11 straight games for the Detroit Tigers, fell before the Browns, who batted him from the box to win. 7-5. The White Sox divided a double b'll with the Red Sox, Milt Gaston allowing Chicago only three hits to win. 2-0 in the opener. Caraway outpitched Durham in a hard fought night-cap, Jolley driving the winning run in the eleventh Inning, and the visitors copping, 5-4. Washington cut a notch from the Philadelphia Athletics’ lead in the American League race, Sammy West triping to score two runs tn the eighth and sew up the game which the Senators won 7-3. Wes Ferrell won his 22nd game of the season for Cleveland in beating the Yankees. 4 to 2, after Dusty Cooke's homer in the eleventh gave the New York club the opener, 5 to 3.

CHICAGO TAKES 5-GAME LEAD Chicago, Aug. 25. —(U.R) -A new spirit of confidence —a confidence that was in reality a firm conviction that they are already ’'in” — was appaient in the Chicago Cubs camp today as the National league leaders took a holiday and girded for the final month of the 1930 pennant race. "We have accomplished the goal we set for our horn? stand—the building up of a five-game lead to carry us through the final road trip — and in doing it we proved our superiority over our chief rivals. They can't stop us from winning a second pnnant,” manager Joe McCarthy told his players. "We have an opportunity to gain mo.e ground this week when we play Pittsburgh and St. Louis while the Giants and Robins are cutting each others throats in their series at New York and every game gained will make it just that much easier when we take the road Labor Day." McCarthy was especially jubilant regarding the Cubs' 3 to 2 victory over New York yesterday and believer! the game would prove the turning point of the race. The triumph gave the Cubs their largest lead of the season and climaxed afoitnight of play in which the Cubs have advanced from second place, games behind Brooklyn, and taken command of th- race. ' With Brooklyn in a bad slump and the Giants’ flag challenge repulsed by three consecutive losses to the Cubs, the Chicagoans’ are■ in a favorable position despite the handicap of a scheduh which calls for them to p ay 21 of th ir re-1 maining 32 games away from home,! and now appear certain to have a part in the 1930 world series. Yesterday’s victory over the Giants was a personal triumph for Manager McCarthy and provided a capacity crowd of 43 000 fans with the most thrilling finish seen at | Cubs park in years—a clean theft of home by Danny Taylor in the ninth inning with the score tied, the bases filled, two out and a count of two strikes and no balls on pitcher Guy Bush. The Cubs had taken a 2 to 1 lead early in the game and brilliant defensive play, including three doubleplays, two a’most miraculous onebanded catches bv Kiki Cuyler and

I a great catch by Hack Wilson, enabled Bush to hold the Giants in check until the ninth. I The,Giants ti d the count in the | ninth and were on the way to ! victory when a fourth Cubs' double ■ play checked their rally. Hack , | Wilson opened the Cuhs' ninth with a pop fly, but Taylor came through with a single, stole second as Kellv fanned and went on to third as O’Farrtll’s thrown to second rolled to the outfield. I Dave Bancroft, "master-minding" ( for the Giants in the absence of Manager John McGraw, ordered I pitcher Heving to pass Hartnett ~ and Bell, loading the bases and ap- , i parently forcing McCarthy to I r move Bush for a pinch hitter. I McCarthy decided on a daring ■ strategism. He sent Bush to bat, ■ with orders to keep his bat on his • shoulder, and when Heving put the I! first two pitches across for strikes the stage was set for McCarthy's i trick. The Cubs' manager was con1 vine d that Hoving's next offering I would be wide of plate in an ‘, attempt to trick Bush into swing- ; ing at a bad ball. As Heving wound up, McCarthy sent Taylor 11 charging for home. An older and ■j cooler pitcher might have realized : that a third strike to Bush would end the inning but Heving’s only i i thought was to catch Taylor and jhe thr w the delivery McCarthy j was gambling on —a high outside ■ l ball. Bash had jumped away from the' ‘ plate to clear the path for Taylor and the fleet outfielder slid home [ with t e winning run before Catch , er O'Farrel had a chance to try for th putout. o Home Runs Ruth, Yankees 44 Wilson, Cubs 43 Gehrig, Yankees 37 Foxx.

The internal revenue report showed collections tn July decreas d $1,611,713 as compared with July,, 1929. Income tax decreases aggregated $5,033,823 for the month and gave the moat I striking evidence of the effect of | industrial depression on f|..|ral .eccipts. Increases in other taxes partly ovetcame this reduction. Income tax is the greatest single ! source of internal revenue. The I collection in July was about 4 per •ent less than the sum obtained in July, 1929. A 14 per cent reduction of income tax receipts this year would reduce that source of I revenue more than $125,000,000,' which is more than twice the stir-! plus of the last fiscal year. A paitial offset to this possible! reduction is seen in the expecta-I tion that about $186,000,000 will be received from foreign governments this year as interest pay-; ments on debt. Heretofore these' payments usually have been made in the form of securities which have been destroyed, thereby reducing the national debt. If paid in cash, however, the funds would be available for current expenditures. This would decrease debt reduction but would not reduce the sum of $400,000,000 which the tr.asury must set aside annually in a sinking fund.
