American Hopes for U. S. Singles Title Brighten Up as Stars Win George Lott Favored to Go to Finals of Tennis Event to Oppose Henri Cochet.

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent FOREST HILLS, N. Y., Sept. 13. —America’s hope of winning back the national singles tennis title, held by France for the last two years, was brighter today than at any time since the forty-seventh annual championships got under way. The tournament entered the quarter-finals today, with five Americans, and one Australian still in the running. All chance of an all-foreign final was eliminated Wednesday when three Frenchmen and one Englishman succumbed to the superior stroking of the Americans. Henri Cochet, the frozen-faced Frenchman who regarded as unbeatable in this tournament, lingered on the border line of defeat Wednesday before he was able to triumph over Fritz Mercur, the Bethlehem (Pa.) boy. After almost two hours of gruelling play, Cochet won. 4-6, 11-9, 6-4, 6-4. Three Americans have a chance to meet Cochet in the final, taking for granted that the former Lyons Bay boy will survive his next two

Bobby Jones Faces Easy Route to Finals of National Amateur

Max Bishop Gets Honors in Last Tilt Wins for As. With Homer in Windup of Big Series. Bn United Press NEW YORK. Sept. 13.—For the third time in the important fourgame series between the New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Athletics a home run decided the game, Wednesday. It was Max Bishop, squatty second baseman of the Athletics, who drove out the run that decided the final battle and gave the Athletics one of the four games, 4 to 3. On Sunday Bob Meusel, Yankee outfielder, smote the home run that

decided the game and Tuesday Babe Ruth slammed out his fortyninth of the season to give the Yankees their third straight victory. Today the As. were one and onehalf games behind the Yankees, a bad let down from the half-game lead that Conriie Mack’s men held

when they blew into the Yankee Stadium, Sunday. Huggins went into the series without the services of Herb Pennock, his best pitcher and one of the greatest southpaws who ever pulled on a glove. Despite that handicap, he manipulated his pitchers like the little wizard he is and a large share of the Yanks’ glory must go to him. The loss of three games does not mean that Philadelphia is out of the pennant chase, for Mack’s team has been traveling at a .750 clip lately and is well-nigh invincible against any team in the leauge except the Yankees. If Miller Huggins’ club cannot improve on the road, it may find Itself wallowing in second place. It is estimated that 175,000 persons paid $195,000 to see the four games.

Hunter, who perhaps is the strongest five-set player in the tournament, scored a notable victory in eliminating Jean Borotra, 0-6. 5-7, 6-0, 6-4, 6-2. Hunter was paired wtih young Jack Crawford, the Australian, in today’s quarter finals. Crawford defeated John Van Ryn in a five-set struggle, 4-6, 6-4, 1-6, 6-2, 63.

Defending Titlist Noses Way Into Quarter-Finals of Meet. UPSETS FEATURE PLAY Galaxy of Seeded Stars Are Defeated. By FRANK GETTY United Press Sports Editor BRAE BURN COUNTRY CLUB, WEST NEWTON, Mass., Sept. 13. After the upsetting storm which swept through the field at Brae Burn during the first two rounds of match play, carrying down to defeat five former amateur champions, one Canadian title holder and no fewer than six of the eight star golfers seeded in the draw by the U. S. G. A., the quarter final matches of the thirty-second national championship started today in an atmosphere of comparative calm. There was dynamite, however, in one of the day’s engagement-5, which brought together Dr. O. F Willing of Waverly, Oregon, and George Voight, the slender young medalist from Long Island. The other survivors of the devastation which was visited upon the favorites Wednesday paired off as follows for today’s 36-hole matches: Bobby Jones, Atlanta, vs. John D. Berk. Groat Britain. Phillips Finlay. Sandy Burr, vs. Jimmy Johnston, Minneapolis. T. Phillip Perkins. Great Britain, vs. John Dawson. Chicago. ... , The spectacle of Bobby Jones being carried to an extra hole to save himself from elimination at the hands of an unknown Massachusetts amateur Wednesday was diverting. Not once during his second round match with Ray Gorton of Brae Burn was Jones up on his opponent unt4l the spectacular finish at the nineteenth hole. Bobby survived, thanks to his opponent’s cracking at the extra hole, and from now on the titlist has comparatively easy sailing into the finals. The elimination of the American ex-champions, four of whom were seeded, was accomplished with neatness and dispatch in the opening matches. Phillips Finlay put out Francis Quimet, “Ducky” Yates of Rochester, beat George Von Elm, Eustace Storey disposed of Max Marston, while Chick Evans had to bow to his fellow townsman Johnny Dawson. Joe Sweetser lost to Voigt in the second round.

INDIANS AGAIN STEP UP WITHIN GAME OF A. A. TOP; SWETONIC IN FINE FORM Steve Relieves Schupp Wednesday, Baffles Senators and Drives in Three Runs; Warstler and Connolly Other Tribe Stars; Fancy Fielding Helps Betzelites.

BY EDDIE ASH While the Indians prepared to do battle with the Senators in the fourth jam of the series at Washington Park today, the league-lead-ing Millers and third-place Brewers were occupying prominent parts in the day's possibilities. Avery important double-header was carded at Minneapolis as a result of rain washing out the tilt there Wednesday. If the Brewers took two today and the Tribe won here, the Betzelites will gain first place and Milwaukee will be back in the pennant fight. If the Indians win and Millers and Brewers split even, Indianapolis will step up to within one-half game of the top. Tribe Gets 20 Hits The Hoosiers slaughtered Columbus in the third conflict of the local series Wednesday, 11 to 4, by accumulating twenty hits, and the victory put the Bezelites within one game of the pace-setting Minneapolis outfit. Including contests this afternoon the three top clubs each has twelve games to play before the season closes Sept. 23. Indianapolis ends its session with Columbus here Friday and then goes to Toledo for five tilts, after which the Hens invade Indianapolis for five. The Indians have won ten of fourteen battles with Toledo, but do not figure to do as well in the ten remaining contests. The Miller Schedule Minneapolis ends its series with Milwaukee today, and then visits Kansas City. Later the Brewers will be met again in a series at Milwaukee. Much depends on the success of Blues and Brewers. Fred Schupp started on the Tribe mound Wdnesday and lack of control forced him to retire in the fifth, and Swetonic was called in to check the Senator attack. And Steve stopped the visitors in their tracks and held them nmless the remainder of the setto, allowing only two hits in four and one-third innings. Hits in Pir.ch “Sweet” also won fame as a swatter by getting two timely singles that drove in three runs. Manager Betzel certainly made a good guess when he picked “Steve” to relieve Schupp. Harris and Zumbro hurled for Columbus and each was solved for ten safe blows. Bud Connolly combed the sphere for four singles and Warstler had a perfect day with two triples, a single and a walk. The Indians had a great day in the field with Warstler, Connolly and Haney contributing fine stops and throws. And Burrus turned in a neat job of first basing. McNulty of Columbus kept up bis good bitting Wednesday and poled two safe, both off Schupp. Horn smacked a triple in the fourth, drove in two runs with it and scored himself on a wild pitch. Christensen doubled after one out In the ninth and was left. The Indians got five runs on five hits and two walks in the eighth and put the game far beyond reach.

Warstler pulled the fans out of their seats In the third when he snared Ferrell's drive with his bare hand, spun around and delivered the sphere to Burrus by a perfect throw to retire the runner. Warstler's other assist was on a ball hit into deep short that required a long, accurate heave. Cuccinello was the victim. Warstler’s three hits, two triples and a single, were real smacks—right on the nose. The little fellow scored three times. Koenecke got a double and a single. The rookie filed to Christensen on nis other two trips.

He will remain with the Kelleyltes the remainder of the season. Manager Kelley denies Washington owns Shortstop Gillls, as a report out of Washington stated Wednesday. Yoter is the third Miller performer sold to Washington. Pitcher Liska and Catcher Kenna being the others. Kenna was sold about two months ago. Liska will finish the season with the Kels. Van Alstyne and Lisenbee, pitchers, and Hayes, second sacker, owned by Washington, will be recalled and given Senator tryouts next spring.
