...Dalla Torre of the Papal newsorgan Osservatore Romano thought he had news nearly as big. Just arrived was a communication from Jean Cardinal Verdier, new Archbishop of Paris (TIME, Dec. 2). Joyously the prelate reported that he had just had audience with the President of France, M. Gaston ("Gastou-net") Doumergue, stanch Protestant, who said (said the Cardinal): "Your Eminence is a representative among us of that immense moral force, the Catholic Church.

But Doeg, nerveless at all times, continued to chop and drive, scoring well with his net and ground shots. The fourth set was the longest ever played in the final of a U. S. singles title match. Doeg won 16-14, bringing California her first singles championship since 1919 when small William Johnston, who three months ago entered a sanitarium to cure a lung ailment, beat...
