By Joe Williams m m a ‘Davis Cup Comes and Goes’ So Says Helen Wills Moody 9mm We Must He Philosophical!

YORK, Aug. 17.—1 quote from an article by Helen Wills Moody:— “A certain feeling of dreariness is bound to assail American tennis followers as they realize that again our players have failed in the quest of the Davis cup. But we should remind ourselves, philosophically if we can, that, as it were, the Davis cup comes and goes in regards to countries. ’ I thir.k this is sage counsel in a dark, desperate hour. To be sure, It is asking a great deal. But these are times when it is necessary to emulate the fortitude? and sacrifices of our forefathers. a a a a a a IT is alwavs for the nest, of course, to view such things as an earthquake, an r r the loss of an international sports contest philosophically, and it s v *ry comforting to know that one of our distinguished sports exponents subscribes to this point of view. Still it would be a mistake to expect too much progress along these lines right away Unfortunately the American sports mood is not attuned to calm deliberations in moments of great stress, and this is no doubt true of the sporl I have heard Mr. Babe Ruth booed wrh > r after missir.e a third strike, when plainly the | should have been. “Oh. well, he isn t expected to knock the ball out of the lot every time he comes to bat.” a a a a a a BY reason of its cultural background there should be more philosophy per capita in Boston than any other American city, yet the baseball diamonds and the football fields of Modem Athens have known more than one free-for-all. Perhap the movement to bring philosophy to the people wall meet its most determ.ned resistance in St. Louis, where the thoroughly Ametican sport known as heaving the ten-ounce pop bottle has been developed to the apogee of artistry. It was in this citv. you mav recall, that a petulant i>op bottle leaped off the cround and dug a deep gash in the forehead of Mr Whitey Witt, of the Yankees The bottle, heaved by a rank amateur, had missed its mark, but out there even the bottle are trained. They always get their man. a a a a a a SEVERAL years ago a fine little colt named Scapa Flow broke down in ij the running of a race and refused to quit; he had broken one of his legs, but he came hobbling down the stretch, a pathetic figure, tijing gallantly to finish. He was an odds-on favorite, and naturally, heavily played Instead of sympathy the incident provoked resentment against the , cd the colt. The sure-thing bettors yelped—- “ What did they want to start that dog for anyway?” When the favorite is knocked off the sure-thing bettor can use no oart of philosophy. By tradition tennis is supposed to be the last note in courtesy, restraint and sportsmanship, but there is much evidence at hand to show that these refinements are somewhat exaggerated. a a a a a a THERE was the time, for instance when the Americans were lasing the Davis cup to the Frenchmen at Germantown. This was rather unexpected The Americans had held the cup so long it had come to be looked upon as strictly a national property, like the Liberty Bell and the colloquialism. “Oh. yeah!” The gallery gave very audible testimony to this effect. ~ . _ Whenever Borotra or Laeoste missed a shot there would be fierce applause from the gallery—applause of much the same intensive timbre that was heard soni n weeks ago when Max Baer, the Californian, was knocking Camera, the Italian, down every time he got up. The demonstration became so intolerable that a gentleman in white pants do not cheer the errors.” The gallery was not altogether unreasonable. It was willing to meet the gentleman in w -h: talf way. So from then on the gallery cheered only the errors of the French. | We weren’t very philosophical about losing the cup that day, but it is much easier now. because it begins to look as if we ll never win it back anyway.

TIGERS. YANKS STAGE ANOTHER ‘BARGAIN

Leaders Face New York in Double Scrap

Cards Down Phils Twice and Braves and Cubs Split Even. BY THEON WRIGHT United Pre*s Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—Rained out yesterday, the league-leading Detnot Tigers and the challenging New York Yankees squared off at Yankee stadium here this afternoon for the second double-header bargain attraction of the “crucial” serifs. The Bengals annexed both ends of the twin bill on Tuesday and the Yankees copped the single tilt oti Thursday. The Tigers are leading the second-place Yanks by five and one-haif games. Grief is being spread among youthful batters of the National League by the soupbones of some of the most venerable elbowers in baseball. Old Burleigh Grimes, fading relic of elm-juice days, is of course the outstanding example of antiquity. The veteran was w-agging an elbow as far back as 1913, and since then has seen service with every club in the National League but Cincinnati and Philadelphia, and was recently discharged by the Yankees. Old Burleigh’s latest feat was to out-wag Carl Hubbcll, the New' York southside specialist in a six-hit performance for Pittsburgh—where he saw service, incidentally, in 1916. Others of the old guard have been dazzling the adolescents, however. These include old Tom Zachary, the tar heel southpaw', cast off by Boston and picked up by Brooklyn; Flint Rhem, who goes in and out of the big leagues like a man in a revolving door; Fish Hooks Stout, who became an old man in the minors before he hit the big loop, and the venerable Jess Haines of St. Louis. Stout Hurls Wins Yesterday Fish Hooks, who was shunted to Cincinnati by the St. Louis Cards, flagged down the Brooklyn Dodgers with an eighthit exhibition, winning 8-1 for the Redlegs. Mr. Rhem, who comes from a | wide spot in the road called Rhems. | down in South Carolina, is probably the most successful of the old timers, having won eight and lost only three for the Boston Braves. Flint has been around since 1924, but has had two trips back to the minors. He is noted for his moral influence as w r ell as his pitching arm. having supervised the personal conduct of Grover Cleveland Alexander when old Pete was touring the Memphis beer halls as a member of the St. Louis pitching staff. Yesterday Rhem bowled an eighthit game against the Chicago Cubs, trouncing them 6-1 in the second game, after Chicago had beaten Boston 3-2 in a ten-inning opener. Another Vet Produces Jess Haines, another venerable member of the ancient battalion who has been doing business since 1914, received credit for beating Philadelphia. 4-3, in an eleven-in-ning affair, although Jess pitched only three innings for St. Louis. He held the Phils hitless, after relieving Tex Carleton in the eighth. Bill Walker, who has seen thirteen years of service—eight with the Giants and Cards—bowled the nightcap for the Cards, also winning. 7-2. Jimmy Collins hit his twenty-seventh homer off Fidgety Phil Collins in the first inning, sending tw’o in ahead of him. to give Walker a winning edge. LOOP LEADERS SWAMP M'CLURE WATER TEAM The fast-stepping Riviera Club water polo squad smothered the McClure beach watermen at the Riviera pool last night. 16 to 0. It was the highest score of the season. A. Hook piled up a total of ten goals for game point laurels of the league tilts to date. Riviera now boasts I eleven straight victories.

Tris Thinks Tigers and Giants Won’t be Passed

Speaker Says Player Managers of Cochrane and Terry Type Keep Athletes in Winning Mood. BY HARRY GRAYSON NEA Service Sports Editor NEW YORK. Aug. 17. —Tristram Speaker picks a winner at this stage of the campaign for the first time in his life. He does a good job while about it, and picks two. “But I no longer consider naming the Tigers and Giants a prediction,” explained Speaker, now in the wholesale liquor business in Cleveland, to which city his Indian’s brought the west's last American League

pennant in 1920. “Only one kind of manager could build a team like that,” mused Speaker, “the emotional, dynamic type of player manager like Mickey Cochrane. “That’s an advantage both the Tigers and Giants have over the opposition— remarkable players having big years directing and inspiring them. “Bill Terry has all of Cochrane’s fire in a different way. He long ago learned how to make up his mind, and the Giants have as much faith in him as the Tigers have in Cochrane. “It is easy to see w'hy a club headed by a Terry or a Cochrane is more alert and has more drive than one managed from the dugout. “The feats of their leaders keep the Giants and Tigers on their toes. There is no loafing where the boss does more than his share of the work. There is a tremendous difference in the bench manager’s, ‘Go out and do it the way I used to do it.’ and the player pilot's, ’Come out and do it with me!’ “Clubs with their get up and go that have hovered around the top all season as they have, lead now, and which are to play the impor-

tant month of September at home, rarely miss.” Speaker had been reading where Ty Cobb, upon his return to Detroit for an exhibition game the other day, had watched a team that carries on the tradition that he estab-lished-speed, flaming competitive spirit, determination and doggedness, flashing courage and daring of battle where the Georgia Peach left them, an outfit molded in his fashion, and patterned after his standards. “A player-manager has the game in the palm of his hand, particularly when he is a catcher or an infielder. And Rogers Hornsby was right w'hen he said that becoming a manager should improve a player's game. “The records of Fred Clarke, Frank Chance, Fielder Jones, Napoleon Lajoie, Bill Carrigan, a fellow named Speaker, Eddie Collins, Bucky Harris, Hornsby, Terry, Charlie Grimm, the Joe Cronin of last year. Frank Frisch, Jimmy Wilson and some more prove this.”

Judge Landis Hears Dizzy’s ‘Strike’ Story

High Commissioner Refuses to Comment Until Second Confab. By United Pri ss CHICAGO. Aug. 17. Jerome (Dizzy) Dean, the elder of the St. Louis Cardinals striking Dean brothers, appeared at the offices of Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis this morning, presumably to lay his case before baseball’s high commissioner. Judge Landis said he had talked with Dizzy but would make no announcements until after they had held another conference. The Deans, who have registered enough victories to call themselves the better half of the Cardinal's pitching staff, stayed at St. Louis la.< Monday when the Cards wete playing an exhibition game at Detroit. Manager Frankie Frisch informed his two pitching prima donnas that they were fined for their failure to appear at Detroit. Dizzy proceeded to stage a one-man riot in the clubhouse, while Paul remained in the background offering only his moral support. Dizzy announced that he was going "to Florida to do a little fishing, and Paul is leaving, too.” Dizzy then became penitent, only to learn that he was being given an added ten days of suspension simply because Paul was sour on the Cards. Now. negotiations between Owner Sam Breadon. Frisch and the Deans are stalemated. Frisch says “bot h will come back together or both will stay out.” The Deans, meanwhile, can't seem to get together on the subject —when one feels like returning to the club’s roster, the ether doesn’t. Dizzy thinks that Judge Landis can solve the dilemma. Terre Haute Team to Play Longacre Longacre pool’s water polo team will meet a team of Terre Haute stars in a special game here this week-end, it was announced today. The western Indiana team will be picked from squads in the Terre Haute water polo league. The game will be played at Longacre pool at 2:30 p. m. Sunday. CITY BOWLING LEAGUE HOLDS FIRST SESSION The City Bowling League will hold its annual meeting at the Hotel Antlers alleys tonight.
