Suffers Concussion j By GEORGE KIRKSEY New York.. May 25.?<U.R>? Mickey Cochrane, stocky playing manager of the D?,.rort Tigers, j was knocked out with a pitched ball n the fifth inning of today's j game wi-lh the New York Yan- i kees. and was hurried to Si. Ehz- I abeth's hospital. He had partly recovered con- | sciousness tonight. but a physi cian attending him said he had j a brain concussion. After a consultation with Dr. j Alexander Nicholls at 9:15 p. nr.* Dr. Robert E. Walsh. Yankee club physic an .announced that "Coch- ] rane is holding his own nicely and we have decided to do nothing until morning and see how he fares through the night." The ball Uiat hit him was: thrown by pitcher Irving Hadley. It struck Cochrane over the tem ple and the sharp crack could be heard all over the field. The ball and Cochrane dropped to the ground almost together. He rolled over on his back. Hadley. running in from the pitcher's box. way the first man to stoop over him. The accident to Cochrane re called one of the mosv tragic hap pening in baseball?the pitch that killed Ray Chapman, Cleve land shortstop, in 1920. The ball hit Chapman in the vemple, and he dropped to the ground the same way Cochrane did. He died two days later. Dr. Walsh ordered Cochrane to remain quiet on '.he rubbing table for an hour before being removed to the St. Elizabeth's hospital for a complete examination and ob servation. Afver about 10 minutes delay the game was resumed, the Yanks won. 4-3. The score was tied 1-1 when Cochrane was hit.. Coch rane had hit a homer into the rightfield stands for "the only Tiger run up to that time. | Crowned Tennis Champions j ?'

An Enviable Record Chapel Hill, May 25.?For the j fifth time in the last seven years the University of North Carolina tennis team has gone through an undefeated season to establish I what is eonceded the strongest claim to the mythical national: collegiate championship. Besides retaining their State | and Southern conference singles j and doubles championships, the I 1937 Tar Heel netters also set a j new defensive record by allowing i opponents a total of only six points in 16 dual matches. The previous low mark was set in 1932 i when the team on which Bitsy i Grant, now member of the Davis Cup team, and Wilmer Hines had only seven points scored against it. The string of 16 victories this spring stepped up to 132 the num ber of triumphs made by a North j Carolina team since John Ken field took over the coaching reigns [ back in 1929. His teams have lost only three matches during the nine-year period, although there has been one tie. The 1937 team was composed of one senior, Archie Henderson. Jr.; five juniors; Ramsay Potts, Eddie Fuller, Frank Farrell, Johnny Foreman and Gordon Robinson; and three sophomores: Carl and Bill Rood and A1 Doyle, j Notable among the Tar Heel accomplishments this season were 10-0 and o-o victories ovui .L>un.c and 10-0, 10-0, 9-1 and 8-1 tri umph; over Yale. In both in stances against Duke the Tar Heel players wen every set. Ramsay Potts, playing the No. 1 spot, won 15 of 16 dual matches, gained the State and Southern Conference singles championships and paired with Eddie Fuller, no. 3 ranking man, to take both State and Conference doubles titles. Potts and Fuller as co-captains will lead the 1938 team. Potts partly succeeds himself for he I captained the 1937 outfit. Carl Rood, mo-t promising of the sophomores, is expected to prove a worthy successor to Archie Henderson, no. 2 man. who expects to be graduated in June. Coach Kenfield. who spends his summers coaching tennis at the fashionable Lakeshore Country Club near Chicago; believes the 1937 team is the best rounded club I he has ever tutored at North Car [ olina. He says, however, that Bitsy Grant and Wilmer Hines, members ! of the 1931 and 1932 teams, were the best individual performers. Coach Kenfield is being given much of the credit for the suc I cesses enjoyed by Tar Heel teams. ! Undoubtedly he has had excellent material with which to work, but i he has added that extra touch of j skill and finesce that distinguishes j a star player from just a fair per I former. By JACK CUDDY Democrat Springs, Calif., May v 25.?(U.R)?Bob Nts-Lell, the man I Tom Whiskey Flat, is more con- * lerned with the deer and ante- 1 ope that range the tawny slopes l )f Greenhorn mountain than wi'di s lis bout against Bob Pastor in L>os Angeles Friday n ght. s For the fair-skinned mountain 11 nan, a virtual replica of Gene j Tunney, this bous is the greatest , ane-fight chance in ring history. ? An impressive victory over the New York sprinter, who ran away 1 from Joe Louis for 10 rounds, will '? locket Nestell r ght into 'the big c time and big dough. * C But these things apparently ) mean little to the taciturn young- ' ster who loves tlie valley soiitude 1 of the foarming Kern river. All J that Nested asks of life is the 1 privilege of living among the live oak, willow and buckeye 'trees that dapple this valley, only 28 j1 miles from where he was born? the same Whiskey flat that Bret Hurte immortalized in his "ouv- j casts of poker flat" and other j1 stories. During a chat with' Nested at J his isolated mountain training camp, he revealed that a triumph ' over Pastor, and even a later world heavyweight championship, would mean for h m merely the certainty of building a log lodge J in Kern valley "bout half a mile J yonder up '.lie river." Nested looks almost exactly like j former champion Tunney, with j the same compact up-tapering torso, a man of light brown hair, and the same finely chiseled feav- . ures and unyielding chin. But Bob's legs are slimmer than were Tunney's he :'s far more fleet afoot .and he asks far less of life than did Shakesperean Gene. (Bowlinq Standings Team W L Pel.

It is a resort so isolated md sunken in solitude that one wonders who ever danced there. Nesteil, son of a mounta n gold miner, Bill Nested, is a potential world champion. He is fast, a fair boxer, a rugged fellow and a man who packs dynamite in his lists. He can punch. Watching him training, I saw ;hat he has a fair left, good posi ;ion in delivering his right and speed alcot. Like every fighter, he has his weaknesses. I noted that he is a jit inaccurate with his blows to he head ? possibly because he was pulling his punches with the jig gloves. And I noted that he ?ets ofT balance when pressed? leaving him susceptible to a tnockdown. He is a six-footer, who scales I.P4 pounds ? an ideal fighting weight at 22. FILM HISTORY BEING WRITTEN BY HAYS OFFICE New York, (U.R) ? A complete history of the motion picture in dustry and its produce is expected to bo complied soon. The Hays office, principal trade association in fiimdom ha-s a corps of research workers gathering and checking material in an effort to discover how many films have been made since the industry started. Rough ly, Hays workers estimate the total will be about 35,000 features and short subjects. The only method considered feasible in obtaining this data is that of checking pictures by their titles. Since the first of this year they have been coming in at the rate of 19 a day. Most of these of course, are for pictures that will be released during the sum mer and early fall. It would be a comparatively simple job for the historians if film producers would select one litle and stick to it. But too often, in fact almost every day a pro ducer will report ? The Years Are So Long" as the title and change it later 011 to "Make Way for To morriw." Some producers, how ever seldom, if ever change titles. Cecil B. De Mille is noted for his few title changes. Aside from its statistical value, the title bureau operated by Will Hays is designed to promote har mony and lessen confusion in the movie industry by filing a title for a new movie, Paramount, for in stance. may avoid conflict with Warners, or 20th Century-Fox may discover that United Artists has thought of the name first.

In the first game Sam Twiford led the Quinn bowlers with a score of 126. He was closely followed by Calvin Owens who bowled 117. Quinn won the first game 441-386. The second game also was tak en with slight effort by the Quinn representatives. Now the third game was an en tirely different story?both teams rolled a score of 419. Hard luck seemed to be the lot of the Ad vance boys because in the roll-off box the scores of Quinn totaled a few more than those knocked down by the Advance totaled. The high score for this week of 151 was rubbed out today when Sam Twiford sent the pins flying to capture the lead in this week's high score race with the excellent score of 172.

The govern ment's latest scheme for saving Great Britain's $50,000,000-a-year poultry industry from the ruinous effects of increasing foreign com petition is to make British eggs smaller. The scheme calls for alteration of the grading regulations to make the "standard" egg l7/s ounces instead of the present two ounces. By promoting "medium" grade eggs, and "standards" into "specials," it is calculated that British eggs will be able to com pete on fairer terms with foreign produce in the shops. This is to be the government's reply to the British poultry in dustry's urgent demand for higher tariffs? a demand which cannot be met because of the trade agree ments negotiated between Britain and Denmark and other foreign suppliers. The great importance of the part which poultry and egg pro-' duction plays in British agricul ture can be gauged from the fact that the annual value of its products?$150,000,000 a year exceeds the total value of home grown wheat, barley and oats by $15,000,000. Poultry farmers ac count for a seventh of the annual agricultural output. The existing tariff on foreign egg varies from 25 to 30 cents on 10 dozen eggs, while the actual price gap between British eggs and imported 'new laid" may be as much as 10 cents a dozen. Last year egg imports increased by 50, 000.000 dozen. [iunihrrt Goes the Entire Route; Mute* Get In Sixteen Hits The New York Giants took sec )nd place in the National league, going around the idle St. Louis Cardials, by downing the Cincin nati Reds, 9-3. Gumbert went the -oute for the league champions ind coasted to victory behind his1 mates 16 hit assault. He scattered 11 hits. The Giants blasted Wild Bill Hallahan from the mound Kith a six run burst in the first inning to win their fourth straight game. McCarthy paced the attack with a homer, double and single. The Brooklyn Dodgers handed the leading Pittsburgh Pirates their second straight loss, 2-1. It was the fifth win of the year for Van Mungo who turned the Bucs back with six hits. Both teams scored their first runs on outfield errors, and the Dodgers tallied the winner in the eighth when English dcubled, advanced on a sacrifice, and came home on Mungo's grounder. Bill Swift, giving up but six hits, was charged with his second loss of the year. Bill Lee scored his fourth win of the year, pitching the Chicago Cubs to a 5-3 victory over Phila delphia. The Cubs got away fast, reaching Passeau for three runs in the first inning. Their third inn ing tally, which turned out to be the winning one, came as a re sult of a scratch hit by Demaree who went to second on a fielder's choice and scored on Hartnett's single to center. Browne's homer with Scharein on board gave the Phils two of their runs. Boston at St. Louis was post poned because of wet grounds.
