Inside Dope on Yanks

The Yankees seldom waste a basehit or gum up a rally. Very rarely does a pitcher who shows any sign of wildness come through with a victory against them.

HE handicap division in race circles, without a champion since the great Discovery was retired last fall, holds two potential successors to Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt’s ace winner in C. S. Howard's Seabiscuit and John A. Manfuso’s Aneroid, which finished noses apart in the Brooklyn Handicap at Aqueduct last Saturday. . ." Both performers advanced to the top rung of the older (uine group as a result of outdistancing seven others in a close duel that thrilled a throng of 15,000. Victory went to Seabiscuit, but only after the track judges examined a picture of the finish. . . . Many race observers believe these two chargers clearly stand out as the best handicap horses in training. . . . They are scheduled to meet in the Butler Stakes at the Empire City strip on July 10.

8 ” N the Brooklyn classic, Seabiscuit met at equal weights of 122 pounds. . . . It was Seabiscuit’s first start in New York this year after a successful campaign in California ... Owner Howard paid only $6500 for the star and then pushed him rapidly to the fore. . . . Aneroid was purchased as a yearling for $350, and, like Seabiscuit, his rise to prominence has been spectacular and adds an interesting chapter to the records of turfdom. . .. Seabiscuit set his own pace in the Brooklyn, and when Aneroid challenged, it was an'exciting show for the railbirds right down to the wire. :

HE Yankees love their home grounds . . . They have won 21 out of 28 games there this year . .. And 17 of 31 road games . .. Cleveland and the Athletics have yet to win a 1937 game in Yankee Stadium . .. It is doubtful if Steve O'Neill will last the campaign out as Cleveland pilot . . . Somebody will be forced to take the rap for the Bob Feller debacle and naturally the manager will be the No. 1 goat whether he’s at fauit or not . . . His club dropped 10 out of 12 on the last road trip. ... It is said the Feller’s arm is in such shape that surgeons hesitate to pass an opinion at this time ... As a matter of fact some American League managers believe the boy is through . .. And his trouble has been traced to the strain of pitching spring exhibition games.

RADUATES of the American Association filled star roles in the.

majors yesterday . .. Lou Fette pitched the Boston Bees to a 12inning 1-to-0 victory over Brooklyn and Monty Stratton of the White Sox let the Tigers down with three blows, winning, 3 to 2 . . . All seats have been sold for the big league All-Star game at Washington July 7 . . . Even the bleacher space has been disposed of in advance to the eager customers . .. Griffith Stadium seats 32,000 . . . The prices are out on Chicago's $10,000 open golf tourney to be played at the Medinah Club July 23, 24, 25 . . . The “book” is laying 40, 20 and 10 against Tommy Armour, home club professional . ... Sam Snead is favored at 12, 6 and 3, and Ralph Guldahl, new National Open champion, is listed at 14, 7 and 4. 3 un 2 » zn o ILL. TERRY'S Giants probably will shatter all of their previous attendance records this year . . . Including all games they are over 835,000 and the team has averaged better than 13,000 a game . Thirty-four home games drew more than 480,000 and 28 road games . 355,500 . .. Last year Joe Di Maggio of the Yankees was the first rookie to play in the big league ‘All-Star game as a regular . . . This season the American League picked no freshies . . . The National League has honored one—Lee Grissom, Cincy Reds’ ace southpaw . . . Looks like Manager Terry of the Nationals booted one when he failed to name Freshman Fette of the Bees as one of his reserve pitchers.

Henry Picard, the smiling pro from Hershey, Pa., turned the outcome into. a rout by beating Arthur Lacey, 2 and 1, This made the final score of the series 8 to 4. The Americans today won five of the eight singles matches, halved one and lost two. Sarazen, former British ‘and U. S. Open champion, was a major factor in his team’s triumph. The show hole of the day was the final one in the Sarazen-Alliss match. Each was hone in two, Alliss 15 feet away and Sarazen a comfortable four feet short. . Gene had left the 18th tee leading by one hole and as they neared the final green they discovered that Alliss had to drop a long one to halve even if Gene should miss his putt. Alliss sighted the downhill putt with utmost care and barely

Donald Budge Beats Parker And Moves Up

Californian Extended by His Davis Cup Teammate at Wimbledon. By United Press

WIMBLEDON, England, June 30. —Don Budge, Oakland, Cal, came

from behind today and defeated his.

young United States Davis Cup teammate, Frankie Parker of Spring

‘Lake, N. J, to gain the final round |of the all-England Tennis Cham-

pionship. Scores were 2-6, 6-4, 5-4, 6-1.

Parker won the first set lost by’

Budge in the tournament. Budge was off form in this set, continually netting his backhands and his forehand service returns. He was unable to penetrate Parker's amazing defense, the latter calmly returning Budge’s most terrific smashes and services. Parker drove off to a 2-0 lead in the second set, but soon Don began going to the net and forced the Jersey youngster back to the baseline. Budge began to hit his forehands and backhands with his usual skill and gradually took the upper hand. Parker battled gamely in the third set, often scoring dazzling passes and occasionally catching Budge on the wrong foot. Budge, however, gradually wore down the less experienced player. Gene Mako of Los Angeles and

Jadwiga Jedrzejowska of Poland reached the mixed doubles quarterfinal round by beating Karl Schroeder of Sweden and Jean Saunders of England, 4-6, 8-6, 6-1. Earlier Helen Jacobs of Berkeley, Cal.,, who was defeated by Dorothy Round of England in yesterday's singles play, was eliminated from the all-England Tennis championship Women’s Doubles when Mrs. Dorothy Andrus of New York and Mme. Sylvia Henrotin of France beat Miss Jacobs and Mrs. Hilde Krahwinkel Sperling of Denmark, 7-5, 6-8, 6-2. : The unseeded Franco-American pair, who have played as a team here and in the United States for several years, played truly superb tennis. They displayed superior courtcraft, and Mme. Henrotin’s deft work at the net was a chief factor in defeating the third seeded women’s team. Mrs. Sperling, who was runner-up to Miss Jacobs for t=e singles title in 1936, was weak in all departments. The lanky former German star was often out of posi-

tion, forcing “Jake” to do all the work. :
