RUFFING, DERRINGER MAY DO IT

ED RUFFING of the Yankees gain looks the part of a 20-game winner this season, possibly the only 20game winner in the American League. . .. The way . things shape up now, Big Red and Paul {Derringer of the ¢Cincinnati Reds are the only major league pitchers who are even money bets to annex 20 before the end of the trail on Oct. 1. Derringer has 17 to his credit. Last year there were a half a dozen 20-game winners in the majors, Ruffing and Vernon Gomez of the Yankees; Carl Hubbell and Cliff Melton of the Giants, and Jim Turner and Lou Fette of the Boston Bees. Speaking of pitchers, Fred Fitzsimmons of the Dodgers holds a remarkable record against the Bees. . . . “He has tossed shutout ball against the Hub pastimers in -the last 28 rounds he has faced them, and has allowed only one earned run in the last 38 innings against Casey Sten-

/INS PUBLIC LINKS MATCH

Little surprise to tennis fans is the selection of

NRA

the American championships and now finding it undesirable, the grand dame of the courts sought to make practical atonement by turning back monies in the sum of $1309.45 advanced her for a recent European invasion.

By now even your small infant son must know that the big names of amateur tennis do not spend their own money when they cross the oceap—and that very few of them tap their personal purses even when they cross from one state into another, : Some of the amateurs even have business representatives and the gossip is the reason there were cer-

| tain pointea objections to naming

Bobby Riggs to the current Davis Cup team is that his financial agent manifested an exaggerated-sense of values.

For years the boys and girls have indicated a haughty repugnance for any forthright discussions involving expense monies. They have preferred to maintain a glossy illusion of independence in consistency with the quasi-social tone of the forty love abstraction, and the country club set in general. The Moody check is historic because, I believe, it is the first time publicity has been given to actual figures in any expense account. And anyone who has spent any time in

Europe must admit the figures are

modest enough. If the amount isi

typical, then the name players do not exactly wax wealthy as wards of the U.S. L. T. A. I understand Mrs. Moody has tossed the tennis lords on the antlers of a disturbing dilemma. They don’t know whether to accept the check or not. The situation is admittedly unique. There is no precedent. No amateur ever tried to return money nefore. What has Roosevelt done to the country anyway! The tennis people, of course, should refuse to accept the check. They paid Mrs. Moody’s way to England to play in the Wightman Cup matches. She fulfilled her obligation. If she doesn’t want to or can't play in the American championships, that’s her business. Some point is being made of the fact the lady promised to play here when she accepted the association’s money to go abroad. It seems fo me no such provision should have been written into the agreement in the first place. Personally, 1 think the lady did a pretty sporting thing in returning the check. Certainly she wasn't obligated to return it. And by doing so she proved the good faith of her original promise. At the very least nobody can accuse her of taking a free ride.

Californians Rule Tennis

NEW YORK, Aug. 24 (U. P)— The first All-California team in history will defend the Davis Cup next week-end at Germantown, Pa., against Australia. 3 It will be a four-man team powered by -Donald Budge of Oakland, the world’s No. 1 amateur player, bulwarked by his doubles partner, Gene Mako, and Bobby Riggs and supported by Joe Hunt, all of Los Angeles. ; Although teams composed exclusively of players from California have been sent in quest of the cup in the past, never before has one been called upon to defend it. - It also will be one of the youngest teams ever to represent the United States. Budge. and Mako are 22; Hunt and Riggs, 20. ! The squad was announced last night by the U. S. Lawn Tennis Association Davis#Cup committee. The only surprise nomination was Hunt, who will serve as a spare. Walter S. Pate again will be nonplaying captain. He had that job last year when Budge, Frankie Parker, and Mako wrested the cup from England, Budge most certainly will hold down what is known as the No. 1 singles post. Riggs will be the No. 2 singles player. Actually, there is no difference because each must play the same two men. Mako and Budge, twice winners of the All-England doubles title, will pair up for the tandem play. If Mako, or Budge, should go stale, Hunt probably will get into the doubles.

National League Race Loses Its Usual Heat; Red Sox Pass Cleveland.

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Aug. 24—The National League pennant race, usually raging at white heat at this stage of the campaign, is gradually disintegrating into one of those “what-of-it and who-cares” affairs. Pittsburgh is definitely backing into the pennant, and the other three first division clubs are drifting along with the backwash. Even without any heat on them from the rear the Pirates are playing like a team frantically close to a complete collapse. A threatening gesture from any one of the three runners-up might result in panic in their ranks. But so far the Giants, Reds and Cubs have given no serious indication of challenging. .Not Hot Enough 5 During %the past moath the Reds have played the best ball among the four clubs but haven't been hot enough to gain any ground in the pennant race. The records since July 25 follow: Won Lost

Johnny Lanning held the Pirates to six hits for a 6-0 victory in the opener. An error by relief pitcher Dick Errickson enabled the Pirates to salvage the second game, 4-3, in 14 innings. Scoring six runs in the first inning off Larry French and Jack Russell, the Giants triumphed over the Cubs, 6-2. The Cubs had 10 men left on base. ; Lloyd Moore's five-hit pitching featured Cincinnati’s 3-0 victory over the Phillies and strengthened

the Reds hold on third place, six |%

and one-half games behind the Pirates. In the other National League game, the Cardinals won from Brooklyn, 9-7. Terry Moore hit a homer with the bases loaded. ! Come From Behind The Boston Red Sox moved into second place in the American League by taking a twin bill from the Cleveland Indians, 13-3 and 14-12. Jimmy ¥oxx’s ninth inning homer with the bases loaded enabled the Red Sox to come from behind in the nightcap. The Yankees divided a doubleheader with the White Sox and held their 11%2-game lead. Thornton Lee, Yankee nemesis, pitched the White Sox to a 11-3 win in the opener, Lee, Radcliff, Owen and Rensa walloped homers for the Sox. Lou Gehrig’s 25th homer with a mate on base featured the Yanks’ 3-1 victory in the second game. Hank Greenberg clouted homer No. 43 in his 113th game to keep 10 days ahead of Babe Ruth’s 1927 record-breaking pace as the Tigers won two games from the Athletics, 13-5 and 8-3. The twin triumph moved Detroit into a. fourth-place tie with the Senators, who edged out the Browns, 6-5, in a 12-inning battle.

Tribe Drops Close One at St. Paul; Umpire Ousts Seven Redskins.

Times Special ST. PAUL, Aug. 24—The Indianapolis Indians wind up their last visit in St. Paul tonight and the boys from the Hoosier State will glad to get away from Lexington Park. ’ The Redskins dropped the second of the series to the league leaders last night and skidded to seven and a half games behind first place. The Schalkmen will move to Minneapolis tomorrow for a two-day stand to battle the fourth-place Millers. St. Paul edged out the Hoosiers last night, 4 to 3, when catcher Bill Baker made a wild throw over third and McCulloch tallied the winning run. He drew a pass to open the St. Paul ninth, Anton sacrificed and Silvestri was purposely passed. On a short passed ball McCulloch headed for third and continued home as Baker’s throw sailed over Fausett.

No. 15 For Herring

Paul Epperly worked on the Tribe mound and he was opposed by Art Herring who chalked up his 15th victory of the season. In the eighth inning Umpire Bill Guthrie cleared the Tribe bench of players and six received walking orders. The Indians had been critical of Guthrie's decisions from the start of the game. Manager Ray Schalk also was banished in the wholesale “purge.” Epperly held the Apostles to six hits but dished out four walks, which damaged his chances against the effective work of Herring. Bill Baker smashed a homer off Herring in the fifth with the bases unoccupied.
