UP*—'The feeling at Forest Hills where the British and American Wightman cup teams are practicing for their matches on Friday and Saturday is that the British are going to make a real light this year. Helen Jacobs. America’s No. 1 player and three times national champion, was of the opinion that the chances were 50-50 that the United States would turn back the invaders. •’They are really good this time,” she said. On the other hand, Dorothy Round, the English star, refused to admit that England had no hopes. She parried questions with: *Tt doesn't do to discuss chances be fore a match. It might bring bad luck. The British team will present a lineup taken entirely from its first ten—Miss Round, No. 1; Katherine Stammers, No. 3, Mrs. Phyllis Mud ford King.

WALLY BERGER IS TOP R Playing With tha Braves, Hit Hits Meaning Little (By Ths Associated Frees) Playing with s hopelessly out classed ball club—the Boston Braves —has not dimmed the batting eye of Wally Berger cm- killed his spirit. Many a manager has watched his team take the Boston tail-enders over the hurdles, seen Wally follow the dribblers to the plate and mace one out of the park, and sighed, “if I only had him.” Berger has collected 25 home runs, 22 doubles and four triples. I'e leads the league In the number of runs driven In with 95. Berger had a field day against .he Brooklyn Dodgers Sunday, to tal ng 13 bases in nine times at bat. E'even bases came in the first game of the doubleheader when he hit a homer with the bases crowded, a triple and two doubles. The Braves lost both games. Casey Stengel, tha Dodgers pilot, sat In the dugout and mused aloud, lie was thinking of the fellow who ha£ hit more homers than all the Brooklyn outfielders put together. “A guy like that cm this ball team," sa'd Casey, “would make Mrs. Sten etl’s son very happy and the op ponent's v«7 sad. That’s our big trouble. We haven’t a fellow who can get up there in the pinches and hit one out of the lot.” Only one game was played in the major leagues Monday. The Pitts burgh Pirates cut the Braves’ run for bogey honors a bit when they defeated the seventh place Cincin nati Reds 7-4. The Pirates collected 14 hits from four Cincinnati hurl ere as they won the series, three games to two. The Weather East Texas (east of 100th meri dian): Partly cloudy Tuesday night and Wednesday.

Hornsby** Directing League Race From Position In Cellar CHICAGO, Aug. 13.—MP)— They i didn’t call Rogers Hornsby the “Rpjah" for nothing. All washed up as the Rajah of batsmen, he's the dictator supreme, so It seems, of the 1935 American league pennant race with his base of operations in the Cellar, a cellar loaded with dynamite. It Is doubtful whether any man ager of a last place club, excepting George Stallings of the Boston Braves of 1914. ever wielded as much Influence on s pennant race as has the Rajah, As pilot of the lowly Browns, he has: Paved the road to the i>p for Detroit, losing 13 out of 16 games to the pennant bound Tigers. Opened the door to first place for the same Tigers by whipping the Yankees (and his old enemy of Chi cago Cub days, Joe McCarthy) three out of four and softening them up for the on rushing Tigers. Traded plenty of players, but none of them to the Yankees or Tigers. Blasted the pennant dream of the1 Chicago White Sox by winning three and tying one In their last four game series when the White Sox were within striking distance of the lead. The defeats sent the men of Dykes on a losing streak that total ed 10 Tuesday. Halted the winning streak of John Whitehead. White Sox rookie pitch ing star, at eight and sent him off on a long Iodine: streak. And yet. the Browns. 294 games away from the top Tuesday and 74 games away from seventh place, held a winning edge over only one team—the Red Sox. whom they have defeated six times In 11 games. Thev have won only 35 games out of 100 played, yet they have done more damage to flag hopes than an army of chinch bugs on a good Iowa farm er's crops.
