HELEN WILLS STARTS DEFENSE OF NE T CRO WN American National Title Event Opens at Forest Hills — Girl Star Meets Canadian Woman First, * By lIENRY L. FARRELL United Press Staff Correspondent FOREST lIILLS, N. Y., Aug. 11.—Back on her home turf, after her Olympic victory at Paris, Miss Helen Wills, the *B- - California girl, was to start the defense of her American championship in the thirty-ninth annual championship tournament here this afternoo.

After her decisive victory over Mrs. Molla Mallory in the national championships last summer and her easy triumph over the former champion at the Olympic games, it might seem the Berkeley girl has little to do to retain her championship. The field against her, however, while it lacks the international color of last year's tournament, In a strong one, and if the young champion has had too much hard earlyseason tennis, she may be pressed to repeat her 1923 victory. Miss Wills rules the favorite in the dope, but Mrs. Mallory, the sixtime champion, and Miss Mary K. Browne, California, the champion of 1912, 1913 and 1914, are being given much consideration. The poor showing made by Mrs. Mallory in the tournaments in England and France caused some critics to believe her game finally had cracked and she had passed the stage of a dangerous contender. She has been playing well, however, since she returned from France and she has such a stout heart she will be dangerous even after her game slips. Miss Browne gave up tennis several years ago and took up golf, at which she became almost as skilled as she had been for years on the courts. Her attempted comeback will be one of the most interesting features of the tournament. Mrs. Marion Z. Jessup, another forrtler champion, is also in the field and there are other formidable players who have never reached the championship rating, Including Miss Eleanor Goss, Miss Martha Bayard, Mrs. Baker Sackett, Miss Mayrne MacDonald and Miss Edith Sigourney. Miss Wills was to make her first appearance today against Miss L. C. Beaupre, the good Canadian player. Miss Wills and Mrs. George Wightman, the Olympic doubles champions, rule the fleld| in the entries of the national doubles title. Big Leagueis JAZZY VANCE, the Brooklyn star pitcher, struck out nine Sunday and beat the Cardinals, 8-4, in the second game of a double header. Brooklyn won the first, 6-5, in ten innings. Lefty Mogridge came out of a losing streak of seven straight games and pitched the Washington Senators to a 4-2 victory over the White Sox. Babe Ruth failed to get a hit Sunday for the first time in nineteen games and the Yanks lost to the Cleveland Indians, 7-1, dropping into second place. Ty Cobb stole second once, third twice and home once Sunday and helped the Tigers regain the American League lead with a 13-7 victory over the Red Sox. Rixey and Donohue stopped the artillery of the Giants and the Reds won\a double bill, 4-2 and 5-1. Post-Season Series At a meeting of the directors of the Cotton States League, authorization was given President F\ A. Scott to negotiate vdth the Kitty League for a post-season series between the pennant of the two circuits.
