N E\V YORK. Aug. 13.—Attempts to purify amateur tennis still co!%*inue, but the newest slice of legislation intended to rid the game of petty commercialism merely promises to increase official bewilderment and further educate the players in the fine art of free loading. Soon after he rumbled down the gangplank of the S. S. Majestic yesterday, Walter Merrill Hall, president of the United States Lawn Tennis Association, announced that the eight-week ruling adopted by the International Tennis federation would be enforced in this country. The eight-week ruling, in brief, means that no player can compete more than eight weeks a year with his expenses paid. The only exceptions w ill be members of a team such as the Davis Cup gladiators. a a a mam EIGHT weeks! The first thought that comes to mind is one of pity ' for the poor tennis veterans who have been accustomed to living ten months out of twelve on their racquet reputations. What will happen to them? Unle> they leafti trades they'll probably starve. And what a novel spectacle a starving tennis player would be. especially if he were ranked within the first twenty! Bu T on second thought, the whole thing smacks of the ridiculous. When tennis clubs want players they get them. No ruling of the U. S L. T. A is going to stand in their way. Loopholes are plentiful when veteran minds go to work. Even President Hall admitted he wasn t “kidding himself about developments.” man man IF a player finds fifty bucks under his pillow and pays his own expenses . as a result what can be the kickback? If a tournament official bets him the price of a week room and board he can t count from one to ten how can the reform vodelers question a mere wager? For vrars Amenta: hiefs have endeavored to stamp out larceny among their breadwinners But it usually has been fairly simple. After all. it was no trick criticising Big Bill Tilden when he charged taxi fare for traveling two block: to mail a letter. Even U. S L. T. A. master minds deduced there was a mail chute in Tilden’s hotel. a a a ana r'OR a long time it has been a cute custom among racquet headliners to rolleet expenses at both ends That is to say, a player going to California tucks a wad of cash in his wallet before leaving and then grabs tlie same amount all over when he arrives at his destination. Many an imaginative young man has been pulled on the carpet for that reason. Tennis bo ses who long for a complete whitewashing of their favorite sport could learn a lesson from football. Gridiron reform elements long have sought to squelch proselyting and financial greasing for favored player They have discovered, and their tennis contemporaries eventually will the same hieroglyphics, that expert rule dodgers always are ten jump ahead of the badge wearers. a a a a a a AT an old-line eastern university, for example, it was the custom to -end 'he football team to a summer camp. The boys went there ostensibly to chop wood and handle various jobs in return for their tuition. The bov- went all right, and they chopped wood. They chopped for twenty minutes each day instead of indulging in setting-up exercises. | After that thev played football for hours, dined heartily and loafed. When thev returned to the higher halls of education they were gratified to learn their expanses for the year had been paid in advance.
Dean Brothers May Leave St. Louis and Go Fishing Both Suspended After Dizzy Protests Fines and Tears Up Suits: Due to Draw Pay Checks Today. BY FOSTER EATON I mtrd Pros Staff Correspondent ST LOUIS Mo.. Aug. 15.—The Deans were three strikes up on the St. Louis Cardinals today, but it looked paradoxically like their out, temporarily at least. Dizzy and Paul, thhe temperamental brothers who between them have hurled tiie Cardinals to thirty-six of their sixty-three victories this year, were fined and suspended yesterday and announced they were Florida bound —to fish.
They planned to go to the front office today—pay day—and draw their current salary checks, slashed by SIOO for Dizzy' and SSO for the younger member of the family. Refuse to Don Suits It was the third time this season that the Deans nad kicked over the traces, but nothing quite so spectacular has been recorded in, or against, their favor. They were fined for refusing to make a trip to Detroit for an exhibition game Monday, and suspended when they refused to don uniforms yesterday in protest against the fines. “You can t fine me.” Dizzy informed Manager Frank Frisch, when told of President Sam Bread-' on's mind in the matter, whereupon Frisch not only allowed as how it could be done, but had been done. “Come on out to the field and practice.” said Frisch. Dizzy leaped to his feet, shouting: “If that fine sticks for Paul and myself we re through.” Dizzy Has Tantrum He tore off his uniform and ripped it into pieces. He did the same to uniforms of other members of the club. He had a rippin* good time. He told Frisch it was •swell treatmenf to hand out to a man who had won twenty-one victories for the club, “just because I wouldn't gc to Detroit because I had a sore arm.” If the fine stuck, he was through, he said. With that he got into street clothes and started to leave the club house. Frisch wanted to know where he was going. “Don t stop me.” shot back Dizzy. “Well, that's all right with me,” said Frisch. “If you never come back it will be soon enough: and if you dont put on your uniform, you're suspended.” And so he w as. along w ith brother Paul.

lead by scoring twice in the first inning when Dudley Lee muffed a "double play” ball in the shortfleld. It brought Buzz Arlett up and the giant Miller rightfielder doubled to score two mates. Norris Cleans Bases The Indians tallied in the first and second to gain a tie, out in the fifth the Indian balloon ascended and in no time at all the Millers sent five runners over the plate, bringing the score to 7 to 2. Norris, Minneapolis shortstop, cleaned the sacks in this round with a triple after Arlett was given an intentional pass, filling the bases. Norris had struck out twice before, but Chamberlain let the count go to three and two, and when he put the sphere in there Norris whacked it against the wall in right center. The Bushmen added two more markers in the sixth and an eleventh run in the eighth. The Indians ; went from the second until the ninth without scoring.

Like two collegians (dying for dear old Siwash) the heavyweight mat stars wiggled in and .out of punishing holds, with the match almost entirely devoid of the usual fisticuffs, grunts and grimaces. This was Andy’s big chance and he knew it—and Big Jim, ranked among the first five in wrestling, was in no mood to let the youngster climb up the ladder at his expense. In defeat, Rascher enhanced his steadily growing record with a clever exhibition that won the plaudits of the crowd. Ropes Help McMillen McMillen's continual play of the ropes saved him many times, and his decided edge in strength kept his shoulders off the resin at other times when victory seemed near for the Hoosier pride. Using punishing leg splits and slams, Rascher three times had Big Jim pinned to the canvas only to find that his rival's legs w r ere dangling out of the ropes. After fifty-tw'o minutes of struggling, with both warriors weary from the rough going, McMillen nailed Andy with a back slam after twice tossing him out of the ring, and the first fall was over. Rascher came back strong for the second flip and, as usual, was forcing the melee. He rushed at Big Jim, resting on the ropes in a corner. McMillen’s feet came flying up from nowhere, caught Rascher squarely and dumped him in a heap to end the action in six minutes. Jim Passes Out Bouquets Maybe it was for the edification of the reporters present, and maybe it was serious, but in congratulating Rascher in the dressing room after the tussle, McMillen said: “Boy, that's one of the toughest jobs I’ve had in a long time. You’re good, kid —better than I was at your age.” For the fans who like their wrestling spiced with all the things not in the books, £1 Sparks, Little Rock giant, and Karl Davis, Columbus <O.) husky, gave ’em the works. The boys didn’t forget a thing, and after the Buckeye bruiser had pinned Sparks with an airplane spin in fifteen minutes, A1 decided to. continue the melee and they took off, using everything but the ring posts before officials could end the extra attraction. Orville Brown, a newcomer from Wichita, Kan., who appears to knowmore about the whys and vyherefores of the business than he let! the Hoosier i£ns discover last night, disposed of * George Tragos. the popular St. Louis veteran, in twen-ty-seven minutes in the other struggle.

Walker Defeated By Young Corbett Former Welter Champ After Middleweight Crown. Bp United Press SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 15. Young- Corbett 111, Fresno, Cal., left-hander who once held the welterweight title, today was established as a contender for the middleweight crown by a ten-round decision over Mickey Walker, fading New Jersey Bulldog, at Seal's stadium last night. In a fight that for the most part was dull, Corbett proved his superiority by hard clean punching that peppered Walker's jaw and stomach and drew blood in the closing rounds. Although Walker scored the only knockdown with an overhand right in the ninth round, Corbett speeded up to even the round and win an undisputed decision. The United Press score sheet credited Corbett with eight rounds, several of them close, and called the other two even. Corbett fought at 154 1 pounds and Walker came in at 157'z, his lightest weight in years. The 12.300 fans who paid $29,450 to see the outdoor fight voiced loud approval when Referee Toby Irwin raised Corbett's arm as a token of victory.

BASEBALL TONITE 8:15 INDIANAPOLIS MINNEAPOLIS LADIES* NIGHT
Two games of that precious fivegame series were snapped off by Detroit, leaving the Yankees six and a half games out of first place. The scores were 9 to 5 and 7 to 3, and were recorded before a crowd of more than 77.000 paid customers—the largest baseball throng this year—who had come to see Head Man and his hands pin back the Tigers' whiskers. Gomez Battered Instead they saw a snarling pack of pennant hungry Detroiters, who were able to bite off a five-run lead in a single inning, send the eminent Senor Vernor Gomez scuttling from the hump, and go on to score four more and win the ball game.
