AT any time, in any sport, there is allrays a shadow of greatness which falls on the “potentials.” One finds these near stars skirting the fringe of fame, knocking at. the door of elite ranking, but still outside. Some of them never arrive. They are just every-day jobbies throughout their career, and fade from the limelight when their usefulness is ended. Some of them, however, accomplish the transition from the darkness to light with a steady, sure step. That is why the potential greats are so interesting. For all the spectator knows when he watches them in action, he may bf looking at future sports immortals. One of the most typical athletes in this class of “potential greats” is Helen Jacobs, the dashing, slashing California princess of the tennis courts. Undoubtedly, in the opinion of observers in America at least, aha i» the greatest woman

WHITE SOX IN 4TH VICTORY Chicago May 25 (UP) The Chicago White sox still we e in seventh place t day but they had been transformed into a hustling, winning ball club in the last ten days and may be expected to climb higher in the American League any day now. Knocking Wesley Ferrell, Cleveland a.e who has jinxed them for three years, out of the box yesterfourth straight game and their seventh out of the last ten. Trailing 6 to 1 in the fourth. Bob Seeds started the Sox rally with a home run. In the sth inning they scared four runs, routed Fe.rell and tied up the score. Tommy Thoma-, who lias been elected to relief duty by manager Lew Fonseca, did an admirable piece ( f rescue wo k after relieving Vie Fraisier in the fourth inning, b .Iding the Indians to 4 hits in 5 2-3 innings. Caey Se'.ph, Bob Seeds and Luke Appling led the Sox attack with three single hits each, all figuring in the ■ coring except Selph’s last single. After today’s game with the Indi ins the White Sox will take to the road for 7 days. Playing at Detroit and Cleveland before returning home for a long home stand beginning June 2 and ending June 27. The white sox hitting had improved vastly during the past ten days, but the team average still if down to .238, largely because of the low overages of center field Elias Funk who is batting .152. left fielder [Johnny Hodapp with .196 and

tennis player in the world—barring J Helen Wills Moody. But she hasn’t caught up with la Moody. When 1 she has played the more famous Helen, as recently as last year, she - has been roundly beaten. Therefore she cannot mount the throne. She is still only a princess. This year, however, she is out to score an upset. All last Winter, on the California courts, she played 1 fast tennis. She played most of her tennis with Howard Kinsey, who drew out every bit of ability she possessed. Since she has been in the East, she has been working out at Forest Hills with the professional George Agutter. And Agutter is firm in his conviction that 1932 is going to be Miss Jacob’s greatest year. “Her accuracy is splendid,” he said recently. “Her second ball is > a trifle softer than is best. For all ! that Miss Jacobs is a greatly improved player.” , If Helen Wills has begun to slip which she may have, after ten I ,

Catcher Frank Grube, with .187. Selph, playing his first year in the mapors, is loading the sox in I batting with .312. Blue is next with .302, f Bowed by Appling with .300 Kress with .275 and Seeds with .258. . | o Cow Knew Negro’s Whistle In Field Fort Worth, Texas. —(UP)—She '; was his c w. she knew his whistle, a negio told Deputy Sheriff Galloi way. * Two negroes wore disputing the ’ .ownership of the cow.

years at the top—Helen Jacobs intends to make the most of it. They will meet, undoubtedly, on both American and foreign courts, and the younger Helen is prepared t* ] force the elder Helen to be strictly i on her game. If the experts are looking for an upset, this is one that would be interesting. Another upset may be looked for from a young fellow named Sidney Wood, whom all tennis fans know for his ability. A sterling chap, this fellow, and a magnificent player. He won at Wimbledon in 1931, but was left off the 1932 Davis Cup team. He hasn’t complained about it, but he will find no small degree of satisfaction in showing up the judgment of the U. S. L. T. A. officials. If he’s as good this year as last, he’ll probably do some punning as this: “Mr, Tennis Moguls—you Wood Wood you?” Excuse it, please! Cbpyrtfht. 1932. King Peatur** Syndicate fne.

NEW RECORDS ARE PREDICTED Indianapolis, May 35. —<U.R) —The ! dazzling speed which drivers are showing in time trials for the 500 I mile race Memorial Day, averages I approximately five miles an hour f ister than in qualifications for the 1931 event, a United Press tabulat ion showed today. With 28 racing autos having com- ] pleted their four laps of the two and one-half mile track to qualify, the slowest pace recorded was 1108.008 miles an hour. The average for the 28 is nearly 113 miles !an hour. Ten of the 28 turned in ] speeds ranging upward from 113 'to Lou Moore's pole-winning record of more than 117 miles an hour. Last year the slowest qualifying speed was 99 miles an hour. Since then the minimum has been adI vanced to 100. The fastest speed last year was recorded by Billy , Arnold. 116.080. Besides Arnold, I only Louis Meyer last year quali-

I tied at a speed equal to the averI age for the first 28 this year. In 1931 only 12 autos were able i to do more than 110 miles an hour tor the 10 miles. This year, with 12 yet to qualify, 24 already have done better than 110. According to E. I). Edenburn, A. A. A. representative in charge of the race, at least 10 more autos in ! the 1932 He'd of 72 entries can equal or better tlTe 100 mark. Track veterans, who have witnessed racing on the giant oval since it was contracted in 1909, regard tills unprecedented increase in qualifying average as a threat of a successful assault on the record of Peter de Paolo, 101.13 miles an hour. De Paolo established that mark in 1925. “The racers look faster to me than ever before,” commented Barney Oldfield, who for a decade was America's premier race driver. "If the retord doesn't fall this year, it will be because of a wet track or an unusually large number of mishaps forcing the leaders from the race.” Two additional autos qualified yesterday. Fred Frame, of Los Angeles, who was second to Ixmis Schneider last year, average 113.856 miles an hour in his MillerHartz Special. Gus Schraeder, Ce- , dar Rapid*, la., in a Miller Special, four-wheel drive, was clocked at i
