By Joe Williams Fans Hail Terry as Giants Keep Top nun Club Plays for Him—Didn't for McGraw nun All-Star Game Destroyed Illusions
YORK, July 17.—The spectacle of the not greatly improved Giants on top under Bill Terry, the new manager, whereas a year ago they were fluctuating between sixth, seventh and eight places under John J. McGraw, has got the sorority sisters buzzing. Doesn't this prove, they demand to know, that the manager makes the team? If it does, then it is the first time any such proof has been written into the records of the game for more than fifty years. What it probably does prove is that the Giants are playing for Terry and that they weren’t playing for McGraw. Get- any baseball manager to take his hair down and he must admit there is no such thing as a ipagic formula in the dugout, and that if he isn't equipped with Grade A material, his chances of winning a championship are less than optimistic. Napoleon had the correct slant. God is usually on the side of the heaviest battalions. aaa* a a a call Connie Mack the master strategist. Yet he spent so many years in the cellar that he began to resemble a washing machine. Tris Speaker was hailed as a miracle man when he brought Cleveland its only American League pennant in 1920. But in subsequent years, Speaker couldn't even win in the minors. Clarence Rowland came out of a tap room in Peoria, 111., to lead the White Sox to a championship. Gabby Street was hanging out the Monday wash in his back yard down home in Missouri when a phone call from St. Louis made him manager of the Cardinals —the last National League team to win a world series. Any well-grounded baseball man can won if he has the players. True, some can get more out of players than others, and when the issue is close this can become the deciding factor. Out in Chicago. Frank Chance was rhapsodized as the peerless leader. He had the men then. In New York he didn't and he was a failure. ana a a a rpuE list is long and conclusive. McGraw and Mack were rival mana--I gers in the all-star game last week. They had at their disposal the cream of the crop, the pick of their respective leagues. You or I could have managed those teams into championships. They would have made us look like master minds, plus. Incidentally, that game destroyed some of the romantic illusions that have grown up around the managerial guild. Principally the one about machine play, co-ordination and delicacy of balance—virtues which supposedly spring from the masterful planning and divine perspicacity of the “Stalins of the sidelines.” The only place these virtues can show is in defensive play. There is a theory that to be effective on defense infielders and outfielders must work together as a unit for a certain length of time, become accustomed to each other's style of play, familiarize themselves w r ith all the twists and turns that may develop in the course of a game. This theory was completely blasted in the all-star game. Neither team had more than the customary fifteen minutes fielding practice. A few of the players were from the same team, but for the most part they were, in the manner of speaking, total strangers. But they all had one thing in common. They knew their trade.
Yank Netters Face England; France May Draft Borotra *
By I nihil Press PARIS, July 17.—International tennis interest shifted from Wimbledon to Paris today, stimulated by announcement of the American Davis cup team that will compete against England in the interzone final, and by indications that France will draft Jean Borotra to play the singles later in the challenge round.

Two errors were mixed with six hits to give the Saints seven runs before the side was retired. Jeffries, Saints second sacker, led the winners’ attack in the first game with a homer, two doubles and single in four trips. Doubles by Jeffries, Radcliff and Paschal in the first inning sent the Saints off to a two-run lead in the nightcap, but Burwell tightened and although he allowed nine hits during the game, three more than the Tribe got off Munns, he kept them scattered. In the second frame, Wingard tripled, Bedore walked, Riddle and Burwell singled and Layne rolled out to shove two markers across the rubber and knot the count. The winning run was chalked up in the third when Callaghan walked, Sigafoos singled, Wingard forced Sigafoos, Callaghan going to third and Marty scored on the double steal with Wingard.

Three-Year-Old Turf Title Still Muddled Inlander Splashes Through Arlington Mud for Classic Triumph, Leaving Favorites Far Behind; Eight Winners Recorded in as Many Big Races. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Pre* Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. July 17.—The turf's 3-vear-old championship today was complicated beyond solution. The $35,000 Arlington Classic, which was expected to settle the championship, did nothing more than further involve matters when Inlander, a rank outsider, galloped through the black, sticky mud to victory Saturday at Arlington. Inlander won $32,775 and paid $21.52 to win for $2. Inlander, a bay colt, owned by Mrs. Dodge Sloane of New York, wasn't even regarded as the best horse in the Brookmeade's two horse entry before the race. Okapi, Inlander s stablemate which was expected to do most of the running for the Brookmeade stable, finished fifth.
Tire 3-year-olds this year haven't been, able to hold their form from one race to the next, which in a horseman's book is pretty good sign that the whole crop is decidedly inferior. In the eight big 3-year-old races held thus far. we find eight separate winners, as follows: Kentucky Derby—Broker's Tip. Preakness—Head Play. Withers Mile—The Darb. Dwyer Stakes—War Glorv. Belmont Stakes—Hurry Off. American Derby—Mr. Khayyam. I.atonia Derby—Gold Basis. Arlington Classic—lnlander. Six of these eight winners, all except Broker’s Tip. out of training. and Hurry Off were named to start in the Arlington classic, and it seemed that one would gallop right on into the title. Rain the night before classic day made the track heavy and Mr. Khayyam, which probably would have gone to the post the favorite on a fast track, dodged the issue entirely. The rest of the championship pretenders showed their dislike for the heavy going and refused to run. Golden Way, which had run second to The Darb in the Withers, had the lead momentarily in the stretch, but couldn’t hold it and finished a length and a half behind Inlander, which was timed in the slow time of 2:12 for the mile and a quarter. War Glory, son of Man o’ War, finished third, four lengths behind Golden Way. Head Play quit entirely and finished next to last. The Darb wound up in tenth place, after one brief flash of speed early in the race. Gold Basis was never in the running and finished seventh. Okapi, the favorite, landed in sixth place. Kerry Patch, Belmont Futurity winner last year, was nosed out of show money by War Glory. There just aren't any 3-year-olds of the caliber of Zev. Reigh Count, Gallant Fox and Twenty Grand around this season.

In the 'mile of the ages” at secluded Princeton university, this curly-headed chap with the ear-to-ea r grin was clocked in 4 minutes 7.6 seconds, almost unbelievable figures that broke Jules Ladoumegue's world mark of 4:09.2 by nearly two seconds. The most amazing feature of this 23-year-oid Oxford student's run was the apparent ease with which he shattered the record. Instead of toppling over the finish line exhausted, he jogged more than halfway around the track after finishing seven yards ahead of deep-chested Bill Bonthron of Princeton, who also broke Ladoumegue’s record with 4:08.7.
