COAST PHENOM IN MATCH FOR JUNIOR TITLE Little Helen Wills Gets Big Court Chance Against Virginia Carpenter. FEATURES FOR SENIORS FOREST HIl-LS, N. Y.. Aug. 18— Little Helen Wills, the tennis marvel of Berkeley, Calif, who still parts h-er hair In the middle and wears pig tails down her back, was to get her first chance at a national title this afternoon. The rangy Pacific coast child was to meet Miss Virginia Carpenter in the- final round Tor the national junior crown if the courts of the West Side Tennis Club were not too water soaked to prevent play. Helen catne Fiast with a great record on the coast and at Seabrlgbt last W'eok she made good all the nice things that have been said about her by taking a set from Miss Eleanor Goa, who ranks fifth among the senior stars. Critics who have watched her game in the East say that she is good enough now to be placed in the elite circle of the first ten and she is heading in rapid strides toward a real marvel rating. With the senior play down to the *ourth round if looks as if the Pnoitie coast were going to have quite a lot to say about the national championship. Mrs Molia Bjnrstodt Mallory probably will have nothing but practice until she meets Mrs May Sutton Bundy and Miss Mary K. Browne, who came out of retirement on the coast, to help set back the invasion of Mile Snssane Lenglen. It looks now as if Mrs. Mallory will have to defeat Mrs Bundy lu the fifth round and then fight for the title with Miss Browne lr< the final Mile. Lenglen, who was forced to re tire in her first match with the American champion, is much improved and she may be able to play seme exhibition matches Friday or Saturday.
( OAST LEAGUE HAS HOT RACE Pacific Fans Enjoying Interesting Struggle for Western A. A. Loop. By TOM LAIRD, Sport* Niter, Ssui Francisco Daily New*. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug IS—With the season nineteen weeks old and the element of uncertainty existing as strongly as when the umpire* shouted "play ball,’’ the Pacific Coast League's pennant race promises to d> velop into the closest struggle ever witnessed in the esreuit. Oco month ago the San Francisco Seals appeared to have the gonfalon copped. They were out In front by eleven games and going strong. Since then their pitoheis hav> faltered and their lead has been reduced to five games. Barring the pit hers, the Seals have the team in the league. Asa mattor off i t visitiug major league scouts credit them with having the best minor league club In the country. Their strongest rivals—l.os Angeles and Seattle —are stroug where they are weak The Angels have the classiest moundsrnen in the league and the Seattle staff run* them a close second. However, Sau Francisco continues to rule the favorite In the rsce.

Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By RAYMOND G. CARROLL. NEW YORK. Aug. 18.—“ When Broadway was a pasture” is no longer a jest pinned upon the past. It is a living, growing actuality of now, for located at the lower end of Union Square, the very site of the famous Splngler market garden farm of 10S years ago. Is a tiny farm enclosed and cultivated for the growth of fruit, flowers and vegetables —the city demonstration garden of tbe department of parks. “Shall I show you into the blueroom or the pinkruoin of this ‘hanging garden of Babylon?” asked John McCarthy, the sun-browned, coatless, limerick man, who is the current exhibit of the familiar quotation about a generation between shirt sleeves. He went on: “I say b'.ueroom and pink room for the reason that the ground we have used was taken from the excavations of nearby cellars and filled with lots of blue and pink plaster. If you don't believe we are ‘hanging' wait until the next Brooklyn express train passes along the subway below and upon the roof of which we are standing." Sure enough there was a violent vibration in a few moments, a trembling accompanied by a dull, deep down roar. “We bad to bend the roots of our hedge so they would take hold." explained this Apollodorus of Union Square "The edges of the plot are directly upon the top of the subway. Elsewhere there is from nine inches to two feet of soil. If you can think of anything that we have not growing here I will speak to my boss Edward J. Miller, and he will get the seed"
Such a garden a* it is a farm in miniature planted and flourishing in the shadows of the tali left buildings in tbe metropolis of the world. Bushes of the roses of Sharon, named in the Bible, are growing there for the people of the East Side from far away Palestine. “We have ‘Jobs tears' from the gray berries of which the beads of rosaries are made,'' said McCarthy, who himself has bee nconnected with the city park system for twenty-seven years, “and yonder we have growing the real hop* and often its pairs of sad watery eyes that looks ut them and sighs. Poppies? Sure and that* them with the hemp and the wormwood plants for the ‘dope* fiends to see before they bench them stives in the park It Is hard to make so much harm come from such pretty plants" A large sign rends “Poison Ivy— Know it when you see it—Don't Touch.” the dead plant of the picnicker was ob served growing flanked upon one side by Virginia creeper and the other by a trio of strawberry plants with a baby apple tree In the center The gardner said most of the visitors had to be told which was which.

pital,” he said. “See, we hare all the varieties of vegetables—beans. corn, boots, oyster plants, celery, pumpkins, lettuce and endive. Not such a lot of It but enough now and then to make a tasty meal from the hospital kitchen for some poor sick patient.” Green popcorn in one corner of the “farm’’ was being Inspected by a pair of youngsters munching from a bag of white kernels that they had purchased over in Sixth avenue. Then there were sample hills of cotton, a few peanut and tobacco plants, a spread of sweet potato vines, gooseberry and currant bushes and a mint bed filled with sage, thyme, spearmint aud rue (shades of mint julep). An elderly woman came up and examining the rue said that she had been on a farm and always fed it to her cows and horses. “We used to have catnipj," said the caretaker, “but I suspect that the cats have eaten it up.’’ MOST EVERY KIND OF FLO AVER. And the flowers, most every kind. The edges of the walks are bordered with the white flowered sweet alyssum and towering over all like t.te sunflowers they resemble are the yellow blooms of sylvlas- Then, there is golden glow, four o’clock, sweet William, asters, battlls geraniums, yellow and King Humbert cannas and partulaccas with their varicolored ephemeral flowers opening only in the sunshine. Arbor entrances are guarded by climbing Japanese beans, ever which hover butterflies. “We have everylbing from the country, but the birds,” explained the gardener, who made a wry face as he added, “plenty of English sparrows and plenty of wire netting to keep them from the growing things in the frames.’’
I asked him as to what sort of people come to visit the garden. He said chiefly persons who had once lived on farms or wanted some day to own them. One regular morning and evening visitor is a wealthy man who walks to his office from his apartment near Columbus Circle. “He tells me that he has a ranch out West where he would like to be but for business.” said the gardener, "and he says coming here sort of cheers him up. He never misses aud has his favorites in the garden." School children from the teeming tenements and their tired parents Just before nightfall, brokers and bankers, foreigners who call the plants by the names under which they are known overseas, strangers in the city and chefs and waiters are among the patrons of the little farm. It ail suggested the old philosophy: "You may take the boy (or the girl for that matter) out of the country, but you can not tak the country out of the boy.” McCarthy and his garden ernstitute the brightest spot on Manhattan Island and they have friends who would rise up and fight for that gem in what remains of a once beaut fuj and historic park.

Without occasioning much comment a revolutionary change has come in the vacationing methods of a great number ot the American people. An illustration is furnished by a Philadelphian's experience. Ordinarily he and his family went to mountain or seaside resort each year by train and found commodation in a summer hotel. This year he bought in a department store side tents made to fit on to an automobile. Also he purchased three cots which fold up and fit into a bag. In addition be gets a dufflebag. With this equiment he started from town with his wife and four children. Three of the children are girls, aged, respectively, 14, 12 and 10. His youngest ehtid is a boy, 6. He journeyed across Pennsylvania and New Jersey to New Y’ork State and went north along the west shore of the Hudson to the Adirondack*. To his great surprise, he found hundreds of other automobile parties traveling in the same manner as himself. They hail tents and cots. Along the route, particularly In New York State he found signs reading “Campers Welcome.” Farmers whose property adjoined the highways had put un stands for the sale of fruits and vegetables, honey and butter, milk, eggs nnd poultry. Practically all the foods necessary for his family were easily obtainable. At various places open space* or weeded groves had been allotted to the automobile parties for camping. There was water nearby and some of the campgrounds had ovens or fireplaces for the campers' convenience. IMPOSSIBLE TO LOSE THE WAY. Little public camping grounds were plentiful in the Adirondack*. Some of them had log lean to shelters for thosa who eared to occupy them. These usually were close to cold mountain streams. All through New York he found tho roads wonderfully good. There were so many signposts it whs impossible for an automohilist to get lost. Everywhere he found the people hospitable and helpful. "We never had a more enjoyable outing," be said. "Palisade Park was a picture of loveliness. At Lake ') amsqfia we found 2.500 Boy Scouts from New York in camp. They had log cabins and were living a glorious iife. Some of them were students of natural history and had collected everything in the way of animals the country provided. “You never know the beauty and the charm of the mountains unless you travel as we did. We went up some mountain roads and had view's that will be treasured In our memories so long as wa live. We had no inconvenience*. It required only ten minutes for me to put up both teata, adjusting them to either side

of the automobile. They were of duck and shed rain beautifully. “We suffered no trouble. The country people have sensed the opportunity the new method of vacationing has afforded them and are utilizing it to their own profit and the profit of the travelers. Their prices are reasonable. They have considered every need of the visitors and have made provision for all requirements. This development of wayside camps 1* of sudden growth, but Ls conducted so well I believe it is going to spread the whole country over, w herever you find attractive waterways, weeded stretches, hill country or picturesque valleys. “I think it would be moderate to say we saw on an average three hundred automobile camping parties a day. They were all equipped more or less as we were. There were some parties, evidently wealthy, who rode in one car and had another following them carrying servants, supplies and elaborate camping equipment. But the vast majority traveled in modest style, as we did. "Y'ou don't need a guide book. Y'ou don’t need anything but a love of nature:. We met parties from Ilinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Ohio. District, of Columbia—all the eastern and southern and middle western States in fact. And we saw lots of Pennsylvanians. We saw waterfalls, lakes, innumerable. views entrancing. We knew no discomfort. YY’e went as far into the Adirondack® as Lake Clear. Then we turned back. "On our northern trip we journeyed 1,040 miles. Thou we went south as far as YY'ashington. There we found a public camping ground, too. But we went to a hotel for one night in YYashington. Then we came home. TRIP DID NOT COST MUCH. “How much diil it cost? Our northern trip cost, all told. $72. This Included gasoline and oil. food for the six of us. $3.50 for washing and ironing our linens, etc., our side tents cost $22 apiece. Our duffle bag cost $3.50. AC Washington we paid $8 for hotel accommodations. We had no trouble with our car. We paid $1.50 on one occasion to tighten up some screws that only a mechanician could reach. “YY'e never had a better vacation or a more delightful one. The southern trip ( increased our total mileage to 1.400. YVe came home knowing more of our country than we would learn through many years of ordinary vacationing. “We lived anew life. It is a form of summer living that, is going to spread throughout America. It is made possible by the automobile. But there is one business that this development will effect. adversely. That is the summer traffic, of the railroads." —Copyright, 1921, by the Public Ledger Cos.
