TIGERS TOUGH FOR YANKEES Detroit Bea t s League Leaders Twice to Delay Pennant Clinching New' York. Sept. 10.—OJ.R)—The New York Yankees need only four) victories in their remaining sixteen 1 games to clinch the American lea-; gue pennant but darkness and a fighting Detroit team are doing, their best to postpone those victories. Yesterday the Yanks and Tigers battled for 14 innings before the Detroit nine won. 14-13, and then, with the Tigers leading 4-1, the second game was called in the fifth inning because of darkness. The Chicago White Sox and Boston Red Sox went an extra Inning j before the Reds won the game with three runs in the tenth. 9-6. Washington deleated St. Louis, 6-4 Each team used three pitchers, Philadelphia and Cleveland were, not scheduled. In the National league the Cubs increased their lead to six games over the idle Pittsburgh Pirates by j a virtue of a 5 to 2 victory over the Biston Braves. Lon Warneke hurled fine ba’l to chalk up his 21st victory of the season. GabbyHartnett’s homer in the seventh inning helped. Meanwhile, in the cellar, the]

Little helen’- has her title at last. After eight years of effort, characterized chiefly by discouragement, the Jacobs member of the California Helens holds the National Women's Singles Trophy. The admirers of Helen Jacobs are ready to forget that the title, in her case. does not mean that she is the best woman tennis player in the United States. "Little Helen's” accession to the throne might be compared to an eclipse of the sun. Admittedly, the other California Helen, Mrs. VVills-Moody, is the “sun” of the tennis firmament. But on occasion. as everyone knows, the moon, a lesser planet, does obscure the brilliance of the sun, and in this year 1932 that is just what Helen Jacobs has done. She has eclipsed Mrs. Moody -even though the latter was three thousand miles away In Paris when the other Helen defeated Carolin Babcock in the finals at Forest Hills. Now for eight years, Helen Jacobs has ranked as one of the greatest

• woman tennis players in the world. By this time, had it not been for Helen Wills Moody, her name would undoubtedly have been well emblazoned among the net immortals. As it is, until this year, she has been , chiefly famous as a dependable run-ner-up. The almost superhuman tennis wizardry of Mrs. Moody is the answer. Helen Jacobs is a fine competitor i —and no mistake. The manner in i which she breezed through the field at Forest Hills thrilled and thoroughly convinced ail her critics. Observers said that Helen Wills . Moody probably could have taken ' her over, but everyone else who tried • failed. The most famous Helen of , the tennis world has reigned now • for many years. The end of her I reign will come some time. Those i close to the courts concede Helen I Jacobs no chance of beating her this year or next. After that—perhaps. It was said during the matches at Forest Hills that the younger i Helen, playing a.’ she did against Miss Babcock in the finals, could i have given Helen the First a stiff battle. Even the crown of victory

Fort Wayne got away to a good ' ( start, taking a four-run lead in the] l second inning, but Dayton came back with runs in the next four in- , nings to take the lead. The Chiefs threatened to tie the score in the , ninth but a fast double play chok-' , led off the rally. The fourth game of the series i will be played here tonight.

At Seabright last year she went down to humiliating defeat. Earlier this year she could do nothing at Wim ; bledon with the tennis queen of the entire world. Miss Jacob’s inferiority in her matches with Mrs. Moody has been largely psychological. but mental attitude is just as much a part of the game of tennis as skilful handling of the racquet. Perhaps when Mrs. Moody is ready to be defeated, Miss Jacobs too will have passed the peak of her game.

GUS MORELAND IS DARK HORSE Walker Cup Star Has Several Brilliant Practice Rounds Baltimore, Sept. 10.—(U.R) —Boyish Gus Moreland, to Texas, was established today as the dark horse lot the national amateur golf championship starting here Monday. Moreland was overlooked by the [towers of the Vnited States Golf Association when the original U. S. Walker cup lists were prepared. ; ! but omission of his name brought a thunder of protest from golfing [writers. Later. Francis Ouimet, cup team [captain, became ill and Jess Sweetser came down with a heavy co'd. [ So they sent for Moreland. Ouimet i named him for the team. The young southwesterner won his [ singles match over England's great I Rex Hartley, and. partnered with Charley Seaver, crushed Tommy Torrance and John De Forest, in the Scotch foursome play. Now Moreland is out at the five | farms course, his game in prechampionship practices fully as formidable as it was in the cup matches at Brookline. ( Brilliant medalist, More'and is conceded an excellent chance to w u first honors in Monday’s and Tuesday's 18 hole qualifying rounds. And his sparkling play at Brook line has made veteran golfing observers regard him as a possible successor to the title now held for a secox' time by veteran be spectacled Ouimet. Yesterday, while opening his golf bag here, Moreland cut several fingers of his hand, but it was expected the injuries would heal in time to permit him to play Mon-

Never has this been more clearly I emphasized than in the recent Olympics and in the recent Davis Cup , tennis matches between the United States and France. The winners | in these various events in which “breaks” figured prominently deserve their laurels, but there should also be a sprig for the man who might have won but for a perverse turn of fortune. In the Olympics there was that glorious finish sprint of Ralph Hill’s in the 5,000-meter event, which was turned to naught by the desperate J tactics of Lauri Lehtinen, of Finland. Hill had beaten Lehtinen two days previously and was coming down the stretch in the final with hia famous finish drive. Forty yards from the tape he closed up a gap between himself and Lehtinen, i w .? leading and running at the rail. Hill turned out in the attempt ■ | to pass the Finn and the latter iml mediately stepped into the outer

It was a tough break for Hill and it created one of the hottest > controversies of Olympic history. I Big Ralph Metcalfe also appeared to be the victim of a “tough break’’ in the Olympics. Photographs, i checked after the games, seem to ■ show that Metcalfe’s starting mark I was a yard or more back of where ► it should have been in the 200-me-s ter finals. He finished third to Tolan and Simpson, losing by about two yards, but who can tell what ' difference those few extra feet made ’ in his running? Ralph also lost the 100-meter dash by an eyelash, breaking the tape almost simulta- • neously with little Eddie Tolan, new King of Sprinters. Joe McCluskey, “Shuffling Joe” of New York, lost i a chance to finish second in the 3,000-meter steeplechase through . an official’s error.
