California and Great Britain Place Four Each in Net Play

liy United Press FORREST HILLS, N. Y., Aug. 21. —California and Great Britain shared the eight places in the quarter-final round matches of the forty-fourth annual national women’ tennis singles championship today, each holding four. Third place in the 1931 ■ United States rankings likely will decided by the performances of Mrs. Lawrence A. Harper and Miss Dorothy Weisel, Californians, today. It is almost certain that Mrs. Helen Wills Moody and Miss Helen Jacobs will be awarded the No. 1 and No. 2 spots, respectively. They already have proved themselves to be the class of American women’s tennis. It is up to Miss Weisel to make a creditable stand against Mrs. Moody today if she hopes to retain her No. 3 berth. And it is just as important to Mrs. Harper, present ranking No. 1 player, that she makes a strong showing against Miss Phyllis Mudford, Great Britain’s No. 2 player, if she wants to remain among the first three. The other two quarter-final matches call for Miss Jacobs to oppose Mrs. Eileen Bennett Whittingstall of Great Britain, and Miss Betty Nuthall, Great Britain’s No. 1 player, and the defending champion, to engage Mrs. D. C. Shep-

herd-Barron, captain of the 1931 British Wightman cup team.

This is the story of 3500 miles of grueling automobile travel through the sandy coastal region of Southwest Africa, across the Kalahari Desert and through N’Gamiland. Five naturalists, representing the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences, three South Africans and three native boys were in the de Schauensee expedition. Seldom do white men visit this country. Seldom do w r hite men penetrate to the last remote stronghold of the fast disappearing African Bushman. The trip was made in a Ford car and three Ford trucks. Traveling over rough, irregular trails—leaving those trails to crash through tangled, thorny underbrush—traversing dry, parched areas that had not seen rain in years—the Fords made a remarkable record for stamina and reliable mechanical operation. Through days of summer heat and

McLarnin Gains Rank With Fistic ‘Greats’ Clever Welter Crushes Billy Petrolle in Thrilling 10-Round Battle; Small Crowd Pays $35,000 to See Classic Struggle at New York. BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Corresnondent NEW YORK. Aug. 21.—Jimmy McLarnin may never win the world's welterweight championship—an honor he has deserved for several years —but he promises to go down in history as one of the greatest welterweight fighters of all time. McLarnin reasserted his right to ranking as the best welterweight in the ring today and to a place with that select group of stars recognized as the best fighters in ring history, with a decisive ten-round triumph over Billy Petrolle at Yankee Stadium Thursday night.

It 'was unfortunate that the smallest crowd ever to witness a major outdoor boxing show in the metropolitan area was on hand to see the contest, for McLarnin gave the most impressive performance of his entire career. Petrolle, a real gamester, extended-his heavier opponent to the limit and the 12,000 spectators who paid an estimated $35,000 for the bout, witnessed a brilliantly contester battle. McLarnin failed to score the knockout he desired to avenge a terrific drubbing from Petrolle last December, but he won far more decisively than in the second match between the two last spring. H t e dealt Petrolle a sound thrashing and several times had the westerner on the verge of a knockout. None but a Petrolle could stand up under such a pounding. Billy .not only stood up, but he kept marching forward to press the attack. McLarnin's showing was especially impressive because of the manner in which he combined his boxing and punching talents to win.

nights of freezing cold, on occasions when the water supply was almost gone and delay would have been fatal, the Fords went steadily on and on. And, finally, when the long trip was over, they were sold at good prices in the little village of Maun. Never w ere sales made under similar conditions. The purchasers knew what the Fords had been through and sought proof of good condition after so many miles of strenuous travel.

So they were driven along the river trail, turned abruptly off into deep sand-beds—extricated without need of help —and subjected to other tests in this land of difficult transportation. Sales were quickly made after such a demonstration. This is but one of many interesting stories about the ability of the Ford to stand up under the severest driving conditions. The extra demands of long, hard travel reveal the high quality of its materials and

extraordinary care in manufacturing. Whether you buy a Ford for a scientific expedition along rough African trails, or for every-day motoring in a busy city, you will develop a Very real and definite pride in its stamina and dependability. For here is a car that needs no coddling—no sparing from the rough places and the hard jobs. An important consideration in its designing was the realization that it would be used by millions of people, in different ways, in every section of the world. So it is made with a reserve of strength and power beyond the needs of the average day. That is the Ford policy. That is the secret of the long-lived satisfactory performance of the Ford. Every part is built to endure to give you many thousands of miles of economical, care-free motoring.
