Talking It Over BY DANIEL M. DANIEL

Editor'* Not#—Boring th Hnr* f Jo* William*, on raratlon. tbi* rolamn I* hinr ronlrlbntrd hr f)anl*l M. Danlrl of the Now York-World Tolrtram. NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—Another national championship tennis tournament at Forest Hills! The 20-year-old "Slim" Vines of California, defending the title against the brilliant Henri Cochet and a field which is impressive with native strength and foreign threat. Somehow these annual carnivals on the courts bring back memories most vivid of Red McLoughlin. who came from beyond the Rockies to teach the world something new—something that was fiery and stirring—about this game they call tennis. Th* comet, we railed McLoughlin. No doubt, we. all overrated the red head. As I look back at. hi* Inrm I appreciate that a versatile, craftv, hard hitter like Bill Tilden perhaps would have riddled Maurv s name, particularly bv shooting for Red * backhand, which was the weak spot In his shining armor. But McLoughlin did more for tennis th even the amanng Tiiden. whom T ra’e the greatest of all time. Maury came into the game when the nationals were h and at Newport. The grand dame* and •he gay flappers of the time sat around the casino courts or in the dinky little stand and chatted about Harry Lehr's latest escapade or the wild champagne party of the night before and drove some of the more earnest tennis players nutty. Maurv changed tennis. He lifted it from its calm and easy demeanor, smashed it out, of its .stodginess, with a crash and a volley, which tore from tennis the am tent epithet, of "a sissy's game MrLougnlln popularised tennis. He made the American public conscious of the game and its thrill and power. McLoughlin built the Forest Hills stadium! a a a ANOTHER young Californian fighting the field in the national singles! I am reminded of McLoughlin's first big bid for the title at Newport in 1911. Bill Larned defeated Red in three sets, not one of which went to deuce. But, despite the seeming ease with which Larned took his seventh championship—his fifth straight—Bill saw thp handwriting on the wall. The Bailcv's Beach and Bellevue avenue crowd at. Newport—the "smart set’’ they were railed in the societv columns tittered audiblv a* McLoughlin.* pretensions. Maury’s led face grew redder still, and he made up his mind that if he ever got to the pinnacle and was in a position to dictate he would drag the tournament out of Newport. He did exactly that. Larned—calm, always collected—had become so habttually the winner of the title that, American tennis regarded him as a fixture comparable to Bill Bryan in the Democratic politics of the day. Larned was the last of the champions of the old school. His tennis was moulded along the orthodox English lines, with plenty of long court driving and subtle finessing for the openings McLoughlin substituted power for subtlety, fire for finesse. and forced Larned nut of the titular picture. Red won in 1312 and 1913. nan IN (hat, field at Forest Hills today there are big men and there are little men. But. big or small, native or foreign, none will excel little Billy Johnston, champion in 1915 and 1916, in gameness. Right now that grit and sand stand Billy in good stead as he completes his fight back to health. I think that of the outstanding figures I have seen in the nationals since the days of McLoughlin, .iohnston most of all captured the love of the crowd. You admired Tilden for his consummate skill You applauded Dick Williams for his meticulous hair-splitting game. You liked Lindlev Murray for his meteoric punch. You clapped hands for Cochet’s effervescence and for La Coste s steady, error-forcing pace. But you felt that, in little Johnston. 125 pounds of nerves, you had a friend fighting out there in the tennis arena Lit,tie Bill had no exaggerated idea of his importance. His hat size never swelled Most, of our tennis-starring young men of today take themselves too seriously. Little Bill was a true sportsman.

WOOD COMES FROM BEHIND TO WIN BOAT BATTLE

New \orkers Run String to 132; Bruins Seek 2 More Wins Today

•What of It?’ Queries Joe McCarthy, ‘We've Lost Two Games!’ By f nited /'rest NEW YORK. Sept. 3.—New Yorks Yankees of 1932 have joined baseball's immortals by playing 132 consecutive games this season without being shut out, but Manager Joe McCarthy wants to know "what of it?" "I'm trying to win the American League pennant, and we've dropped two games straight," he said. Ever-fretful Joe brooded over the second contest which the Yanks lost to Washington Friday, 7 to 1. Although Rupperts Rifles still have a heavy first place lead of nine and one-half games over the heavyhitting Philadelphia Athletics, the doleful tone of Joe's voice would indicate that the pennant was slipping right out of his hands. Ruth Walks, Gehrig Triples The New Yorkers’ lone tally in the ninth inning enabled them to become co-holders of the no-shut-out record, which was established jointly in 1894 by the Boston and Philadelphia clubs of the National , League. Firpo Marberry almost snapped I their long string of blankless games at the last minute by holding the Yanks scoreless for eight and onethircl innings. But, with one out, he walked Babe Ruth. Then Lou Gehrig lined out a triple, sending , the Babe scampering home. The Athletics blasted out seven home runs as they took two games from the tail end Red Sox, 7 to 3 and 15 to 0. Eric McNair led the As attack with three homers, one in the first and two in the second game. Dib Williams also made one in the first, A1 Simmons connected for two ih the nightcap, and Jimmy Foxx drove out his forty-ninth four-bagger in that tilt. Pirates W'in Sixlh The Browns downed the Chicago White Sox, 3 to 1, George Blaeholder outpitching Ted Lyons. Chicago's pennant-bound Cubs extended their winning streak to i thirteen straight games by trounc- | ing the Cardinals, 8 to 5. Kiki Cuvier and Mark Koenig made home runs for Chicago, while pinch hitter Coliins did likewise for St. I Louis. ! This victory enabled the Cubs to maintain their seven-and-one-half-I game National lead over the Pirates. who beat the Cincinnati Reds, 2 to 1. It was Pittsburgh's sixth straight victory. Red Lucas allowed 1 but six hits for the Reds, while Larry French was touched for nine. NEBRASKA SERIES OPEN ft H Times Special BEATRICE. Neb..

The big Castilian's qualifying round score was 140, four strokes below the field and par. Up to the start of today’s play he was 12 strokes under par lor 129 holes. He had made few mistakes. Dutra faced no cinch in meeting Dudley, however, for the Pennsyl-

Philadelphia, had to be content with halving their matches Friday. George Voigt of New York, another experienced competitor, was the victim of Great Britain's single winner, red-haired Leonard Crawley. Ouimet and Sweetser were matched against England's two best players. Tony Torrance and John Stout. Dunlap's play was the most spectacular of the day.

Previously he had been getting low scores despite long putts that died at the cup, but refused to go down Dudley gave warning that he was going to give somebody a battle for ihe title when he fought and won one of the hardest uphill fights of the tournament. At the thirty-fourth hole, he was two down in his match with A1 Collins of Kansas City, but he was far fiom beaten. He took the thirtyfourth when Collins three-putted. Collins was on the green of the thirty-fifth par five hole in two. Dudley, nearly 200 yards back on the fairway, needed an eagle three. His long iron struck ten feet from the pin and his putt was good. They halved the thirty-seventh and Dudley won on the thirtyeighth when Collins was unable to negotiate around a partial stymie.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Chicago Hop?s to Be First N. L. Team Since 1924 to Win 15. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Pres* Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. Sept. 3.—The Chicago Cubs have an opportunity to create a few records today, providing they can bowl over the world champion St. Louis Cardinals in both games of a double-header. If the Cubs win twice, they will extend their winning streak to fifteen straight, the longest ever achieved by any Chicago National League team. Back in 1906 the Cubs, under the peerless Frank Chance, won fourteen straight games, but not until 1928 did another Cub team come close to that mark. That was when Joe McCarthy’s team won thirteen In a row. Malone and Bush Ready Charlie Grimm’s inspiration boys easily won their thirteenth straight game Friday by pummeling the Cardinals, Bto 5. For today Grimm selected Pat Malone and Guy Bush to keep the Cubs’ winning streak intact. Dizzy Dean and Paul Derringer were the Cards’ pitching nominations. If the Cubs annex No. 14 and 15 today, they will hold one of the longest winning streaks in baseball history. Only twelve times in modern baseball annals has any team won fifteen or more games in a row. The longest winning streak in major league history is twenty-six straight, which the New York Giants set in 1916, and, strangely did not win the pennant. Since 1900, the twelve longest winning streaks follow: Team. Games. Year. Giants 2fi l!l White Sox 19 I9ol> Giants 18 |9t Washington 17 1912 / Giants 17 I91(i Athleties 17 1931 Pirates Mi 1 9119 Giants Ifi 1912 Yankees If! 1928 Pirates 15 1903 Athleties 15 1913 Brooklyn 15 1924 27 Yet to Play Since 1924. no National League team has been able to win more than thirteen consecutive games. The Cubs have twenty-seven more games to play, twelve at home and fifteen abroad. If they win fourteen of them, the Pirates will have to win twenty out of their remaining twenty-four games to tie the Cubs for the pennant. The Cubs have won sixteen out of seventeen games during the home stand which closes Sunday, and twenty-three out of twentyeight since Charlie Grimm succeeded Rogers Hornsby as manager.

• Chatter of the A. A. •

FOLLOWING three games in Louisville, one today and two Sunday, the Indians will return home Sunday night and on Monday will continue their struggles with Bruno Betzel’s Colonels at Perry stadium. The holiday double-head-er will be staged in two parts, one tilt in the afternoon at 3 o'clock and the other under the floodlights at night at 8:15. Due to the fact it will be a holiday, there will be no free gate for women as is customary on Mondays. tt u tt The Tribesmen are holding third place only by a slight margin over the Kansas City Blues and the Milwaukee Brewers, in fifth position, also are enjoying a late season spurt and threatening to move up during the waning days of the A. A. campaign. Moreover, second place has not been cinched by the Columbus Birds and it would please Tribe fans if their pastimers would cut loose with some steam to overhaul the Buckeye boys. non Only one game was played In the American Association Friday and the league-leading Millers thumped out a 15 to 2 walkaway over the last place Saints. The Bushmen collected twenty hits and Joe Mowry, left fielder, led the attack with, four blows, including two doubler. Jess Petty went the route for Minneapolis and kept eight Apostle hits scattered. Ray Fitzgerald, former Indian, weighed in with two safeties for the winners. The triumph extended the Miller lead to nine full games over Columbus. it n a RAY PHELPS, the big leaguer, was turned back to Brooklyn by Minneapolis Friday and Pete Donohue was released the day before by Manager Bush. These pitchers were a flop in the A. A. Pilot Bush is walking in with the league pennant, but he has to look forward to stopping the Newark Internationals in the “little world's series.” He signed Elam Van Gilder, big

at the Willard pool and the action supplied a lot of free entertainment for residents r' that section. Bill Lynch of Willard was selected on the all-city team as forward and John Egan, captain, was honored on the second “air squad.

right-handei. Friday, shortly after the hurler was released outright by Indianapolis. Elam won three and lost three for the Tribe. With a chance for some extra currency in sight the guess is that Van Gilder will extend himself to stay on the Miller pay roll. u n n The Indians lost ten out of seventeen games on their journey through the west and passed out as flag contenders, but the performance of two young Tribe players helped remove some of the sting of defeat. .Jack Kroner, third sacker, and Glenn Chapman, rookie outfielder, were impressive in more ways than one. Both hit the ball hard and often and Chanman's speed in the outfield and on the paths made him a standout prospect. Kroner has a great arm. and though handicapped by a shortage of leg speed, he has boosted his chances to retain a regular berth by pulverizing the sphere at the plate.

.SEPT. 3, 1932

Choppy water and rain before and during the last part of the race slowed the speed of both boats. Wood's average for the thirtyfive miles was 76.014 miles an hour, far below the record set last year by Don in Miss England 11, when he raced the distance at an average of eighty-nine miles an hour. Until midway the fourth lap the Miss America looked like a beaten boat. Don had brought Miss England over the starting line well in advance of Wood, and opened up a lead of more than a mile on the first lap. Thousands were expecting an English victory when in the fourth lap. Wood was seen to gain on the back three-mile straightaway. As he rounded the upper turn, he was a scant 30 yards behind the English boat, and as Wood came into the straightaway he swung wide and rapidly overhauled Don. He passed him just as the boats flashed past the timers’ barge and headed for the upper turn, two miles away. Wood Increases Lead The distance between Miss England 111 and Miss America was widpnpd until the flying red-ma-hogany hulled defender was a certain wanner. The rain held off until near the close of the race, and didn't figure in the outcome, although the lake swell figured in cutting down the speed. Several times both pilots eased off their power momentarily as their craft tossed. Wood's motors seemed to work perfectly, but boatmen on the officials’ barges noted that Miss England's seemed to be hitting raggedly as early as the start of the fourth lap. Second Heat Monday Don's time for thp final lap w r as but 49.661 miles an hour. The second heat will be held Monday morning. If Don wins, the third and deciding heat will be held Tuesday. Don blamed mechanical trouble for his defeat today. Wood's time for the thirty-five miles was 30 minute 48.72 seconds. Don finished 33 minutes 55.92 seconds after the starting gun.
