"FENNIS clubs in the United States have struck it lucky. . . . There's a new gate attraction visiting from overSas, one Jadwiga Jedrzejowska, a typist from Poland who at2d i is doing all right in the women's net sport. ... She has defeated Alice Marble, American champion, four matches out of five in important tournaments this year and will try for the United States crown in the national singles at Forest Hills before invading California, stronghold of the racquet game. There's nothing streamlined about Jadwiga and the hub of her game is a forehand drive hit with the power of a man. . .. She's of the muscular type with wrestler underpinning and hefty shoulders and arms. . . . Color and personality put her over with the gallery. . . . She has a lot .to learn about slick-stroking and back-hand, but is gradually picking up the finer points. - ® ” n ” un 5 TENNIS was just another game in Poland when Jadwiga started playing it eight years ago and she was more or less on her own due to the scarcity of coaches. ... Her record at Wimbledon, which is tops in women’s competition, gives an idea of the progress made by the Polish queen. . Six years ago Jadwiga was eliminated in the first round, five years ago she reached the second round, four vears ago she advanced to the third, three vears ago found her in the quarterfinals, two vears ago in the semifinals— and this year she reached the finals, losing to Dorothy Round, the English ace. ... And, of course, Mlle. Jadwiga thinks 1938 will find her outlasting the Wimbledon field. = » n u n 5

OB KAHLE, Buck Fausett and Bill Lewis picked up a few points during the series at Louisville, but other Indians lost ground as the Tribesters dropped two out of three. bringing the road trip slump to 16 defeats in 22 starts . Kahle, the voung third sacker, pulled his average above .300. but Vic Mettler, the young outfielder, found opposition pitching too tough and his percentage took a sharp drop. ~ Johnny Riddle continues to set the Tribe batting pace. George Archie leads in stolen bases. Danny Taylor in doubles and runs batted in, Fausett in sacrifice hits. Archie and Fred Berger are home run leaders and Archie and Oscar Eckhardt share three-base hit honors. . Eckhardt is ahead in total hits. . . .

CLEVELAND MILLIONS

Bill McKechnie 77: -v Whistling, Steve! . . .

And Sothoron Other Choices

‘0’Neill Through, Giant Boss |

Shops for Big Deal in N. Y., Is Claim.

By HARRY GRAYSON Sports Editor, NEA Service.

CLEVELAND, Aug. 17.—Steve O'Neill definitely is through as manager of the Indians and Cleveland millions bid high for his successor. The man the big snots behind the Tribe want is none other than the cherubic William Harold Terry of the New York Giants. Failing to land him, they will take anybody recommended by the head man of the Polo Grounds. Next to Terry they would prefer William Boyd McKechnie of the Boston Bees, and Allan Sutton Sothoron, former spitball slinger | of the Browns who has met with great success as a pilot in Louisville and Milwaukee. But Terry is the Cleveland owners’ target now, and they make him a mighty attractive proposition. This is why Terry got so mad when a New York sports columnist prematurely announced that he had signed a new two-year contract with the Giants at $42,500, which would be the most money paid to a baseball man on the field since Babe Ruth was in full stride. Memphis Bill's present paper runs until Jan, 1, 1939.

! I suspect that what young Horace Stoneham, president of the Giants,

told the New York sports columnist was that he had made Terry an offer and believed that the Cheerless Leader would remain on the job he has held since the late John McGraw stepped back into the shadows five years ago. The lowdown is that Terry, with [the highly remunerative and solid | Cleveland proposition staring him | in the face, simply has been shop- | ping for all he can get in Manhattan.
