Aug. 27—(U.K)—The New York Gianta may be out of' JJie lead but they still are In the thick of the National league pennant fight. With the St. Louis Cardinals a half game ahead and the Chicago I tubs pounding on their heels ’ games below, two rays of hope yet glittered today for the New , Yorkers: 1. Manager Bill Terry may • work an improvement with threats nf a wholesale shakeup if his men I blow the pennant. 2. Freddie Fitzsimmons is back, on the pitching mound Terry, disgusted because his Bien lost a nine-game lead they | possessed on July 4. ie not taking ! the current nose dive as easily as he did the one last year which cost the Giants a pennant.

VETERANS TAKE! TENNIS TITLE Allison-Vanßyn Do w n Budge-M a k o For National Title (By Henry McLemore) Chesnut Hill, Mass.. Aug. 27 — , (U.R>— In all thh length and breadth I of the United States, I don't supI pose there's a sports writer with I the divine flair for making a monkey of himself such as I.have. Sometimes my gift for naming th ■ wrong team or individual reaches such heights of perfection that I 1 suspect a conspiracy among I those who play at games to make I tne ridiculous. As I have explainI ed before, none of my selections ; is made -In a hit-or-miss manner, but on past performances Even in minor events, where it doesn't matter much whether I'm right or wrong. I spend hours poring over charts before I final’y make up my mind This outburst was occasioned by the victory of Wilmer Allison of Texas and Johnny Van Ryn in the ; na.tional tennis double, final at I the Longwood Cricket Club here ] , yes'erda.v. I-ast month the Texan j and the Philadelphian showed definite signs of sipping when they > i were beaten in the Davis Cup , challenge round by the English-], ; men. Pat Hugh n and tie C. R. D. I Tuckey. Now Hughes and Tuckey do not ; ; form a great doubles >*eam. Past | his prime, Hughes has little or no I service and less of an overhead i game. And Tuckey Is just a big, ‘ ealthy animal who hits every ball , hard as he can and prays it'll land i somewhere on the premises. The defeat of Allison and Van Ryn by I this team, coupled with their near-1 licking by the Germans. Von Cram ' and Lund. In the interzone final. I motivated me to sound a long and ( loud death knell for them as ranking iniernaMonallsts. 1 urged, and very heated’y too. | that Wilmer and Johnny were def- j initely inferior to several other < American teanls a.nd /hat they should be pensioned off and re-,, placed by one of the up and com-1 > ing combination of youngsters. So what happens? Nothing, ex- I I cept that in the space of a week I i Allison and Van Ry n moved I through a field which included ajl 1 I the top doubles teams of the coun-, try to win the national title and ' yeserday they met one of the j ' young teams I had mentioned as ; their possible succesor. Donald Budge and Gene Mako of Califor- , nia, aaid proceeded to show the j young men how -the game of tennis doub’es should be played. My tennis knowledge doesn't date back so far (I think a mixed doubles match on the White House lawn featuring Andrew Jackson and Peggy O'Neill Eaton was my I firs: class tennis) but nobody'll ' convince me that a doubles team | ever played more brilliantly than did Johnny and Wilmer -*n the fifth I and final set yesterday. Licked to 1 1 a frazzle in the third and fourth sets, the veterans were definitely ion the run when they took the ' court for the “money” set. The crowd was with kids who. bo’ster-, ed by their sweep of the two pre-1 ceding sets, toed the mark for the I deciding chapter: overrunning with I confidence. Then Wilmer and Johnny turned on -the heat—turned it on so relentlessly that the California boys broke beneath It and the veterans piled over them and .through them for a 5-0 lead. The second game, of the set ended it all. Budge was serving and he led 4-0. But he lost I the game as first Allison, and then Van Ryn. went out for everything and got it; volleys down the mid-1 die.
