TRY TO BOLSTER LEAGUE CROWDS Cinch of Pennant in Both Leagues Hurts Baseball Attendance New York. Aug. 22. —(U.R? -With 1 one-sided pennant races detracting from interest in major league baseball, club owners are resorting to the expedient of "synthetic" double headers to bolster attendance. Philadelphia's 13 game lead in the American league and St. Louis' 9V4 game margin in the National have convinced owners of rival ) dubs that there is no prospect of' breaking into the world series, in addition the fans are no longer In-1 terested in the race and the attea I-1 ance is showing the effect. The magnates’ desire to increase ' attendance was demonstrated yes-1 terday when National league games I between Chicago and Brooklyn and | New York and Cincinnati were post-1 poned because of "threatening weather" —a new departure in major league ball. The postponements : enabled the scheduling of double-’ headers between the clubs today. l a proceedure calculated to aid Sat- ’ urday gate receipts. Another National league game between St. Louis and Philadelphia was rained out, leaving the Pitts-burgh-Boston tilt as the only contest played. Boston won, 2 to 1. with Ben Cantwell besting Ervin I Brame in a mound duel. American league competition saw i Boston and Chicago joining Detroit in the ranks of mathematically | eliminated clubs. The Red Sox and j Whtie Sox now are 37 games behind the Athletics and could do no i better than tie for first if they won | all of their remaining 37 games, while Philadelphia was losing its 40) remaining contests. Philadelphia strengthened its po- i sition with a 15 to 12 victory over Chicago. The A's made only 10; hits but were aided by 10 walks' and 3 Chicago errors. Detroit scored seven runs in the i seventh and eighth innings to de-) feat Boston. 11 to 5. Home runs by Babe Ruth and I Lou Gehrig aided the New York ) Yankees in defeating St. Louis, 11 ‘ to 7. Ruth's 35th homer of the year and the 6410th of his major league 1 career, and Gehrig's 34th homer of I the season, featured the Yanks' ' five run rally in the third. Washington defeated Cleveland, I 6 to 3, with Lloyd Brown holding the Indians to six hits. Yesterday's hero: Ben Cantwell,

QUEEN HELEN IS THE FAVORITE Mrs. Helen Wills Moody Only American Survivor In Tennis Match Forest Hills, N. Y., Aug. 22.—(U.PJ -American tennis today owed Mis. Helen Wills Moody a rising vote of thanks for returning to the courts i this season. For had not the great Californian decided to come hack after a years absence the national singl s champ icnship most certainly would h ive remained in England for another year at least. If you doubt this, take a look at the semi final bracket of the tournament and be convinced. Mrs. Moody is th only American survivor, the other three semifinals berths belonging to Miss Betty Nuthall, Miss 1 iiyllis Mudfc.,l and Mrs. Eileen Bennett Wi.ittlngstall, all of Great i Britain. Mrs. M khl.v is, of course, a heavy favorite to win. She meets Miss Mudford today ami whil? the hardhitting English girl may extend her I for a while. Queen Helen is a sure' bet to triumph. In the recent Wightman cup matches Mis. Moody turn ) ed back the English girl with the loss of but five gam s. Miss Mudford, however, is likely to make a better showing today. She proved in eliminating Mrs. Inrwrence A. Harper of Oakland. ! Calif., yesterday tha t she is noi body's set-up when her tremendous | forehand drive is staying inside, i Miss Nutliall is favored to defeat Mrs. Whittingstall, despite the lat- < i’s amazing victory over Miss Helen Jacobs in the quarter-final round vest rday.
