Tennis World Eyes British-U. S. Meet
n n n
Britons Primed to Surprise Yanks Again
\n n n
Sentiment Favors America, However
NEW YORK, July 18.—All netdom focuses its attention
on Paris this week, where four British knights of the
racquet will strive to repeat their dramatic upset of 1931
that witnessed the downfall of the United States Davis cup
team in the interzone series.
Expert sentiment on this side of the Atlantic sides more solidly than
ever with Ellsworth Vines and company, now that the Australian menace
has been removed. Old cup campaigners weren’t at all certain that Vines
could reverse his Wimbledon fate and humble Jack Crawford in the Ro
land Garros stadium, but they feel reasonably confident he can trounce
both Fred Perry and Bunny Austin.
The remembrance of that interzone embarrassment two years ago is
too fragrant, however, to indulge in premature charring. On that occa
sion, John Bull’s young men fired a shot heard 'round the tennis world,
and it's just possible the gun is still loaded.
a a a ana
Ij'RANK SHIELDS and Sidney B. Wood, both youngsters, were the fair
haired singles hopes of that 1931 American team. To the utter con
fusion of all United States enthusiasts, Shields couldn’t capture one set
from Austin and Wood lost both his matches. That the Britishers tum
bled before the Frencn one week later in the challenge round didn’t
soften the concussion.
Champagne flowed by the gallon after the rout of Shields and Wood,
with Englishmen fighting to foot the bills. Henry Wilfred (Bunny) Aus
tin was their particular hero. Expected to wilt before the mighty wallops
of the New York husky, he qualified as a giant-killer in his own right.
The same four warriors who triumphed for England two Julys back
probably will take the battlefield this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Perry
no doubt will team with Pat Hughes in the doubles, to oppose George
Lott and John Van Ryn. Reports from the practice front indicate that
Lott and Van Ryn are at their peak. This may le regarded as auspicious,
as victory in the doubles may well determine France's opponent in the
challenge round.
a a a a a a
THIS country’s feminine tennis crusaders, now returning from their
competitive efforts in France and England, think highly of America’s
cup chances. Mrs. Helen Wills Moody doesn’t place too much importance
on Vines' defeat by Crawford.
In her opinion, Vines hadn’t attained top stride when he met the
Australian ace in the Wimbledon Anal. Helen Jacobs, national title
holder, also spoke optimistically anent United States Davis cup possi
bilities.
Assuming, Just for the sake of argument, that America conquers
England and qualifies to meet France in the challenge round, what is
likely to be the outcome? Can Henri Cochet and Jean Borotra, compara
tive old men of the court, rally their waning resources sufficiently to
frustrate youthful foemen once again? Can Cochet, twice routed by
Vines since last September, muster enough of his once all-conquering
prowess’to muzzle the thundering game of the United States champion?
All signs of the racquet zodiac point to a decided negative. Vines
and Wilmer Allison promise to win at least three of the four singles
matches should they retire England and tackle the Frenchmen. But
promises, especially in Paris tennis, can mean almost nothing when
veterans listen and thrill to the voice of a violently-partisan throng. It
has happened so before, and it can happen so again.
Shaw Captures 100-Mile

MILWAUKEE, July 18.—Wilbur

Maurie Rose, Dayton, 0., who held

Even anew individual course rec
ord failed to win first place for
Ralph Stonehouse in the weekly pro
amateur at Avalon Monday, but
Ralph is pleased to take the 66 and
the record after hearing that the
course pro, Roy Smith, had made
five 67s during the last four years,
but never was able to get under on
any one of them.
a tt tt
Ralph was playing with Bob Arnold of
Greenfield and their total gross came to
155 from which Arnold's handicap of
eighteen was subtracted to make a net
137 but. it was just one blow too many, as
H. R. Jones and Glen Fears put together
gross scores of 85 and 82 and then sub
tracted a handicap of thirty-one and had
a net 136 for first money.

Getting back lo Stonehouse’ rampage on
the perfect tlgures, one notes that nary
once did the young OotTin course pro slip
over par. All the pars added together
total 11, so birdies on five holes cut his
total to 66 and there is nothing else un
usual to talk about.
Ralph was hitting his shots. When
golfers hit their shots and get on to the
velvet in the required number each time,
they usually are close enough on numer
ous occasions during the eighteen holes to
be putting for birdies, and Stonehouse is
one of ihose putters who gets his shave.
He went out in 34. two under par. get

we must not forget to mention
that it is not always the duffer who
makes them, although it is true
they make most of them. Bill Hein

It is not too late to mention that our
tip last week that Jimmv Lawson, veteran
Scotch pro at the Indianapolis Country
Club, planned to give his proteges a last
minute locker room pep talk just before
they trottrd out on the links to battle their
ancient rivals. Highland, reaped results.
And the charges that dear old I. C. C.
is guilty of proselyting are untrue, too. we
are told, because veteran Rill Diddel is a
man of many clubs and while it is trne he
exercised his right to choose a week ago
and played with Meridian Hills against
the I. C. C. and aided in gaining a Hills
victory, ho likewise was within his rights
to Join with I. C. C. and battle the High

linquished his membership.

Bill teamed with his old rival. Eddie

NEW YORK, July 18.—A good time was had by all when Lyle (Bud)
Tinning reported at the training camp of the Cubs in spring. Base
ball writers called him the Fatty Fothergill of the National League.
Stories which pictured Tinning as a baby blimp, a ten-ton truck, an over
stuffed sausage were sent out to amuse the readers. One wrote that Bud
needed only some number like 486927 to complete the illusion of a box car.
Tinning ate and ate, and when through eating ate some more. Then
Manager Charlie Grimm, after scanning the grocery checks, ordered a
moratorium on mastication. Tinning was placed on a diet. He was given
a rubber shirt to be his constant companion.
Serious things began happening to the Cubs, and Tinning w ? as lost
to public scorn for a time. Cuyler snapped a bone, Grimm came up one
morning with a lame back that would not unwind itself, Babe Herman
went into a tailspin. There were many things to write about besides
Tinning's tonnage.

Tom Angley
TINNING took off the pounds, one by one, and as he shed the super
fluous flesh he began to pitch better ball. After he had won three
games in a row, the scorekeepers started to forget that he looked like
Falstaff.
He inspired his brother Cubs to a comeback as he won game after
game with airtight pitching. The Chicagoans, almost counted out of the
race, suddenly began to figure in the heat of the drive. Tinning won
eight games in a row. The Cubs regained the poise of champions.
Tinning came to the Cubs last year when Rogers Hornsby was man
ager. He had come up from Des Moines with a record as fat as himself,
twenty-four won and two lost. During most of the Rajah's regime, how
ever, he was kept in the bull pen. When Grimes became manager he
gave Tinning a starting assignment and was rewarded with the right
answer.
If the Cubs finally do reach the top when October comes, Tinning
may be one of Grimm's best bets to start a ball game.
Tribe Hammers Out 18
Hits to Sink Millers
Angley Gets Five for Five, Including Two Home Runs, as
Bolen Turns In Good Job on Slab; Joe Hauser
Clouts Forty-Third Over Fence.
By Time* Bpeeial
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., July 18.—Roly-poly Tom Angley stole the
show here Monday when Red Killefer’s Indians opened their five-game
stand against the Millers.
The big Georgian broke loose with five hits in as many trips to the
rubber, including a pair of home runs, to lead the Tribesmen to a 10 to 5
triumph.
Some fine pitching by Stew Bolen helped the Tribe along. The
chunky southpaw yielded only one hit in the first five innings, while his
mates hammered out an 8 to 0 lead. Then he eased up and coasted to
the finish, giving up ten hits.
All told, the Hoosiers found four Miller hurlers—Holsclaw, Hilcher,
Murray and Vandenberg—for a total of eighteen blows. Dudley Lee and
Frank Sigafoos contributed three each to the total, and Fred Bedore
played an important part with a single and home run.
The Millers and Tribe continued their series with a single encounter
today, with two tussles billed for Wednesday.
Old Rube Benton was to try his
southpaw slants on the Hoosiers to
day, with Lefty Logan scheduled for
Tribe action.
Up to the fifth inning Monday,
Bedore’s third round homer was the
only marker of the game. Then the
Killefer club jumped on Holsclaw
and Hilcher for a total of six mark
ers.
Bedore got the rally under way
with a single, and Angley punched
a single to center. The runners ad
vanced on a passed ball, and Bedore
scored on Bolen’s infield hit. Layne
was struck by a pitched ball and
the paths were filled. Lee drove in
two tallies with a hit to center and
Layne scored when Callaghan forced
Lee. Sigafoos’ single marked the
end for Holsclaw, and Wingard wel
comed Hilcher with a single that
scored Callaghan. Cooney’s sacri
fice bunt chased Siggie home and
Bedore ended the rally with a pop
fly to Cohen.
Joe Hauser sma.shed his forty
third home run of the season off
Bolen in the sixth inning with none
on, and a double and two singles
accounted for two more Miller
markers in this inning.
Angley’s home runs in the jsixth
and ninth innings, and three hits in
the seventh inning gave the Indians
a total of three more markers, and
the Millers wound up their scoring
with a two-run splurge in the sev
enth.
A total of twenty-one runners
was left stranded by the clubs,
eleven for the Kels and ten by the
Hoosiers.

Yankees, Senators Renew
Flag Drive; Pirates Gain
BY JACK CUDDY
United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, July 18.—Tied for
first place in the American League
race, the New York Yankees and
Washington Senators were expected
to launch determined drives today
for a lead that might pave the way
to the pennant.
Both clubs are playing at home,
with the Yanks again meeting the
fast-stepping Chicago White Sox.
and the Senators continuing their
series against their old jinx club, the
St. Louis Browns.
With New r York on the rebound,
and Washington in a slump, the
Yanks might appear favorites to
lead. The old guard—Ruth, Geh
rig, Lazzierie and Sewell—is rallying,
Yankee pitching is improving, and
eight straight victories have been
clicked off.
However, the pennant race may
not be so simple. The Yanks, one
of the poorest'New York road teams
in years, must play about one-third
of their remaining games aw’ay
from home.
Six passed from his peak they lost
the mold.
“In fact, I dislike comparisons be
tween Matty and any other pitcher,
Walter Johnson included. Matty
was in a class by himself. Easy
grace, studied technique, class all
over. But I am taking nothing
away from Schumacher.”

THERE is much in common be
tween Chapman and Schu
macher. They went into the ma
jor leagues from poor families.
Ben’s dad, once a minor league
pitcher, went back into the mines.

The only competition in the ma
jor leagues Monday w’as a National
League double-header between
Pittsburgh and Brooklyn, both ends
of which were won by the Pirates,
14 to 2 and 7 to 0. This advanced
the Pirates to within half a game
for the second-place Chicago Cubs.
Pittsburgh collected a total of
thirty-two hits off seven Brooklyn
I pitchers during the two contests.
Bill Sw’ift registered his tenth vic
tory in the opener, limiting the
Dodgers to seven hits.
Steve Swetonic blanked the Dodg
ers with seven scattered safeties in
the night cap. He also connected
for a triple and two singlesT account
ing for three runs.
Hal’s father is a farmer up at
Dolgeville, N. Y.
Schumacher was intent on a col
lege education and took his degree
from St. Lawrence. Ben tried cam
pus life for two weeks at Purdue,
and w’ent back to Ensley, near Bir
mingham. In those days Ben was
a football star. Few r believed he
had it in him to be a baseball
player.
It is small wonder that Schu
macher's pitching appeals to Cohan
and other old-timers, for this young
man, with six shutouts among ten
victories, is a throwback to the days
of the Mathewson prime.
In 133 innings Schumacher has
allowed only eighty-one hits, for an
earned run record better than two.
Unless the injury which Hal suf
fered in St. Louis proves serious he
is likely to be the first National
League pitcher since Adolf Luque of
1923 with an earned run average
under two. Luque finished with 1.93.
BURNS PINS ROY ALLEN
Taking the first and third falls,
Cyclone Burns defeated Roy Allen
