Important Series Between Giants and Leading Pirates Starts Thursday

Young Tennis Stars Carry Hopes of U. S. Hennessey Listed Among Those to Replace Tilden and Johnston. Hi/ United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—Successful invasion of the United States by France’s Davis cup forces has brought two facts home to the Lawn Tennis Association. 1. “Big Bill” Tilden and “Little Bill” Johnston no longer are able to carry the burden of American tennis. 2. America must challenge with players from the younger group. Tilden may carry on for a few more years, but he is through as a dominant factor in United States tennis. He submitted himself to the most vigorous preparation the past season any player ever has in an effort to come back, and failed. He still is able to defeat most of the leading stars of the world, but the time has come when the United States must carry the battle to the French with its young army. Host of Stars Luckily. America is equipped with a host of young players who have shown promise of developing into stars of the first magnitude. The most prominent of the young group are George Lott, Jr., Chicago; John Doeg, Santa Monica, Qfl.; Lewis White, Austin, Texas; John Hennessey, Indianapolis; John Van Ryn, East Orange, N. J.; Cranston Holman, San Francisco; Wilbur Allison. Ft. Worth, Texas; Jerome Lang, New York, and Edward G. Chandler, San Francisco. Experts do not know how to c’ issify John Hennessey, who eliminated Henri Cochet from the national championship last week in a bitter five-set match. Hennessey is 27 and has been playing tennis long enough to be closer to the top. When he is on his game, Hennessey is among the first ten players in the United tSates, but when he is off, he is not among the first twenty-five. Lott Surprised 1 Lott and Doeg, the two Davis cup alternates, are perhaps the outstanding developments, of the past season. Lott surprised the tennis world with a victory over La Coste at Southampton. Granted La Coste was not in the best of shape after his trip across the ocean and that he was not pressing his game. Lott’s victory established him as a coming star.

Grid Committee Alters New Rule Hit Timet Special NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—The national football rules committee has voted to make a change in the rules to avoid the “joker” touchdown possibility on a backward pass. The new ruling provides that in case a backward pass is touched without a player gaining control of it and the ball then strikes the ground or goes out of bounds in advance of the spot it first was touched, the ball shall belong to the team which made the pass and the ball must be returned to the spot where it was touched. The provision is to apply whether the ball strikes the ground ki the field of play or behind the goal line. The rule is in conjunction with Rule 17, Section B and C. MUST SAVE STRENGTH Ted Lyons, Chicago pitcher, says a hurler must conserve his strength to pitch a ball game. Look over the ads tonight anu over the places tomorrow! See want ads.

New York, Fighting Desperately, Gains Full Game i on Bushmen.

DAZZY BLANKS CORSAIRS

Cards Stay on Heels of McGraw Clan.

The approaching four-game series between the Pirates and the Giants which starts at Pittsburgh Thursday bids fair to develop into one of the most important clashes of the 1927 National League race. Fighting desperately in the face of the. Pirates’ long lead, the Giants gained a full game Monday and narrowed the gap to three and a half games. The New Yorkers’ series with the Reds closed and the McGraw clan has two days rest. With the winning streak of the Pirates broken, thanks to the Dodgers and Dazzy Vance, the New York and St. Louis teams took new hope today of overtaking the Corsairs before the rapidly approaching end of the season.

Vance was invincible against the Pirates Monday. He limited them to six hits, and although Carmen Hill and Cvengros allowed Brooklyn only seven, they were good for three runs and the final score was 3 to 0. All of the Brooklyn runs were made in the sixth. Herman doubled with two on base and two out to start the scoring. A wild fourth inning, in which New York scored six runs oft Kolp, started the Giants on a 10-to-6 victory over Cincinnati. The Giant defense was not too solid and the Reds made their six runs on a total of nine hits off Grimes, who turned in his eighteenth victory and incidentally his ninth in a row, with only two days’ rest. Fred Frankhouse, the sensational rookie hurler from Houston of thi Texas League, won his fourth straight game since he was called to the Cardinals. He gave up nine hits to the Phillies and won his game 12 to 5. Cy Williams and “Sunny Jim” Bottomley hit home runs.

Frankie Frisch established anew National League record for assists for second basemen during a season’s play when he got his 589th assist Monday. Art Nehf, who was supposed to have been “through” when he was released by Cincinnati a few weeks ago, shut out the Braves. The score was 6 to 0. Nehf allowed six hits. He also was responsible for knocking in three of the Cubs’ runs. /

OBSERVER AT GENE’S CAMP MAKES GLOWING REPORT Tunney in Greatest Condition of Career, Kelsey Says; Champion Radiates Supreme Confidence.

BY CLARK KELSEY United Press Staff Correspondent LAKE VILLA, HI., Sept. 20. Having completed his training for the Dempsey fight Thursday night, Gene Tunney Is in the greatest condition of his fighting career. For weeks Tunney has gone along easily, and finds himself ready* to enter the ring against Dempsey in superb condition. Tunney ended his boxing for the fight with two days of flashy boxing. He showed more than he had in the entire time he worked out in the Chicago area. In his final boxing before a group of newspaper men Tunney achieved a pace he had not shown before. He gave the laugh to those who criticised him for not training sufficiently by showing the best offensive he ever has in a five-round test against his sparring partners. His left was as effective as ever, and he produced anew right hand with a hook and a cross as the medium which, while held In reserve, is apt to prove effective in the Dempsey battle. Following the workout, Tunney said he is satisfied with his condition and his boxing.
