CHICAGO CUBS WHIP PIRATES IN TWIN BILL >1 Pittsburgh Lead Cut To • Four Gaines After Double Defeat ' New York, Sept. 6. (U.RJl —Pitts--1 burgh's pennant craft, taking water | at all seams, was tossing around in the stormy National league wat-1 1 , ters today like a ship without a , 1 rudder or sails. ' | Bravely from the bridge skipper Pie Traynor was trying to rally ‘ his panicky crew. But four de-1 ' feats in their last five games have ' tossed the Pirates so badly off their J course that nothing will save them ' unless they plug up the leaky defense. * After their most disastrous day since they stormed into the lead ’ I July 13 the Pirates' margin in the I National league race yesterday, dwindled to four games. The Chi-j I cago Cubs punctured them twice, | 3-0 and 4 3, before a throng of 43.- ■ 000 fans, packed nine and 10 deep ’ around the playing field. Errors ■ l by Arky Vaughan and Lee Hand- | | ley gave the Cubs three unearned I runs in the third inning which | | were enough to give Bill Lee his : ’ 17th triumph in the opener. I Lee Bryant stopped the Corsairs I > wish six hits in the nightcap. Carl ’ j Reynolds' double and Ken O'Dea's single drove in the Cubs' winning I run in the ninth. Stanley Hack had a perfect day at bat with two i doubles and a single in the Cubs' 12-hit attack on Lucas and Tobini. | The twin triumph left the Cubs j only five games from the top. one behind the Cincinnati Reds. Cincinnati roared into the thick ! of the scrap wiTTi a double victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. 4-3 I I and 4-2. Jim Weaver and Paul|

Derringer let the Cards down with five hits in the opener and Charley j (Red> Barrett, the singing pitch- | er, won his second straight for the Reds since his recall from Syracuse in the nightcap. Harry Craft's homer decided the opener. After Cliff Melton had pitched a , 3-hitter to glTtve the New York lies, the Terymen squandered 13; Giants a 7-0 shutout ove rthe Philhits in the second game and lost 'to the cellarites. 4-3. The Boston Bees kept up their drive for a first division berth by takXng a double header from Brooklyn. 5-4 and 5-3. Tot Pressnell was the losing pitchler in both games. Tony Cuccinjello had “a for 4” in the opener I and Joe Stripp had “3 for 3” in I the nightcap. With all three leaders sweeping I double headers in the American I league, the New York Yankees held their 13% game lead over the I Boston Red Sox. with the Cleve- ! land Indians marking time a game ' out of second place. Spud Chandler and Monte PearI son each won game No. 14 -as the ' Yanks triumphed over the Aethietics. 5-2 and 6-3. Selkirk hit hTs I Dickey hit his 26th in the nightcap. ! The Red Sox slugged out 29 hits to beat Washington twice, 14-4 and 8-6. Boston laid down a 19 hit barrage in the pener and combined 10 hits with three Senator errors in ! the second game. Cleveland took over the Chicago White Sox twice, 6-4. and 4-2. Al Milnar won the opener and Willis Hudlin copped the nightcap. Odel Hale hit a homer in the first game. Howard Mills pitched and batted the St. Louis Browns to a 3-2 victory over Detroit. He allowed four hits and drove in the winning run himself. In then ightcap, called at the end of the sixth because of darkness, the Tigers won, 9-3. Pitcher Elden Auker was struck on the left leg by a liner from I Beau Bell’s bat and had to be carried off the field. Y’esterday s heroes: Bill Lee and Clay Bryant, Cub pitchers, who stupffed the league-leading Pirates in a doubleheader with two bril- ' I liant performances. I’

Donald Budge, the fellow with the five-alarm hair, will abandon his position as the No. 1 tennis player of the world this fall to turn professional and make more money than he has as an amateur. Not a great deal more, perhaps), but some more. when a sports king abdicates there is always a mad rush for the throne room, and Budge's departure won’t be an exception. All the ranking players of the world will visualize themselves as his successor and start a flannel-panted stampede. But only one will get there and If you will promise not to tell a soul, I'll give you his name. It is John Bromwich, a big, gangling. 19-year-old youngster with an unruly mop of hair and a 1 smile as wide as a doubles court,

who operates out of Sydney, Aus-' ! tralia. He can"t miss taking charge when Budge turns from glory to gold, from cups to cash, and goes : barnstorming about the country j with Elly J'ines in another of those ; "for the championship of the I world" tours. Bromwich proved that he was the crown prince in the final match of what probably will be remembered as the "Harold Le Bair Davis ertp challenge round." In this match he beat the only man who was a serious rival for the No. 2 slot in world rankings. I refer to Bobby Riggs of Chicago via California. and the man who walks like Charlie Chaplin. The cup already was safe for this country when Bromwich and ! Riggs took the court, but the rivalry between them made it more than a mere exhibition. Both fought with all the skill at their command, and at the finisih there was no question as to which one had the most. Bromwich, who is the one and ’”•* right-handed, left handed atm every other kind of handed, was superior to Riggs in every department of play. In baseline -duels he repeatedly out-steadied and out-last-ed Bobby. His service was sharper. surer, and more accurate. Over-! head he hit harder and with fewer errors, and his volleying was crisp- > er and more angled. Even tn stamina and court covering, at which Riggs was supposed to be paramount now that Bitsy Grant has developed the miseries, Bromwich had to yield nothing. Bromwich’s ascension to the cnampionship will not be pleasing I to the tennis fathers. Not one bit. - Because the tennis fathers, the American ones in particular, ate : fanatical worshippers of form.

Bromwich will give them the 10ply, self-cocking, hand-turned jitters, because he not only violates form—he annihilates it every time he swings his bat.

AMERICANS WIN TENNIS TROPHY Budge Defeats Quist For Deciding Point In Davis Cup Match Germantown. Pa., Sept. 6—(U.R) —The United States still has the Davis cup today but there is a touch of tarnish on it. No amount of polishing will reI store the lustre it lost yesterday In tlie match that saw Don Budge of California humble Adrian Quist 1 of Australia. 8-6, 6-1. 6-2 for the point needed to make the cup safe for the land of its donor. Bluntly. thousands left the stands convinced that an American offic’al had contributed as much, if not more, to Quist's downfall as Budge. And there was hardly a spectator who did ! not feel that the official—a foot fault judge—had dept iv.-d (Juist "SO »Wi«<m — . □t whatever chance lie nan <>t winning. Quist was not the only loser, either. The action of the official —Harold Le Bair of New York — upset Budge's game, placed him in a thoroughly uncomfortable position, and made it impossible for him to score a clean, satisfying victory. Today, there was agitation to rid the books of a rule which

| made It possible for n minor offi- ’ | einl to spoil completely a fine i International match, both from’ | the standpoint of the players nn.l I the spectators That is exactly what Le Bair did when, holding ! rigidly to the printed word of the | rule he culled three foot faults! on Quist in the loth game of bls first set with Budge, and two’ ' more In the crucial 14ih game These drastic penalties, which, brought such booing and whist ! ling from the stands that the! ! umpire repeatedly had to ask for • silence, broke Quist's morale, nnd ‘ made him easy prey, even for a i ’ badly upset Budge. Up until j these faults were called. Quist was outplaying the Californian and seemed to have a sound: chance of winning. Had he won. the 6-4. 6-0. 6 2 victory of Jack Bromwich over Bobby Riggs of Chicago in the concluding match of the tie would ‘have given Australia the cup for I the first time since 1919. As It I was. the U. 8. won. 3-2. Three former American Davis j cup players were bitter in their j | condemnation of the incident.
