SPORTS
ALTHOUGH the Davis tennis cup play has been called off for the duration of the war, the USLTA’s junior
Davis cup program is operating this season. At the close of the present summer junior competition, plans call for the selection of eight outstanding players on the basis of season’s play to be assembled in New York for intensive practice. Representing the junior Davis cup club they will be entered in the national men’s singles and doubles tourneys at Forest Hills, N. Y. ... The national junior and boys championship tournaments will be held as usual this summer and on the customary courts at Culver military academy, Culver, Ind. The dates are Aug. 3-8. Both tournaments were first held in 1916. . . , The program was inaugurated by the USLTA to stimulate interest in tennis. . .. . In 1928 under the leadership of USLTA officials, Julian Myrick, New York, and Jim Stewart and Harry Knox, of Chicago, it was decided to locate the championship tournaments more centrally in such a place where parents could have no qualms as to environment, associations, and supervision of their young hopefuls. . . . So the tournament was awarded to Culver military academy where it has been held annually ever since.
FOR THE first time in the history of the national juniors and boys tennis tournaments, the number of entrants this year will be
limited to 64 juniors and 48 boys,
« « . The new regulation was
adopted by the USLTA executive committee at the close of the
1941 season.
Each of the 13 sectional associations have been assigned specific quotas, giving the number of players who may represent the associ-
ation. .
. The quota assignment is based on size of the association,
number of qualifying tournaments, quality of play, and past partici
pations.
The new system provides that the 10 highest ranking juniors, still eligible for competition and who qualify, will be included over
and above the sectional quotas.
Jack Tuero Guns for Junior Crown
"ONE OF the most brilliant tennis players in the 1941 boys divie sion was Jack Tuero, of New Orleans. . . . His speed nearly upset Bob Falkenburg in the final contest. . . . The outcome of the game was not determined until the third and final deciding set In the hard-fought contest the ball was volleyed across the net from 30 to 40 times before a single point was scored. , . . Tuero has a wide assortment of shots and a veteran's stroke. , , . He will be a serious challenge in his first year as a junior
ss 8 # 8 8 TOP RANKING juniors who will undoubtedly qualify for the national tourney will include 1941 champion, Budge Patty, Los Angeles, the 1940 and 1941 boy champion; Bob Falkenburg, Hollywood; Harry Likas, San Francisco; Jim Brink, Seattle; Irvin Dorfman, New York; Benny Migdow, Chicago; Bruce Daniels, Worcester, 'Mass.; Jack Tuero, and Teddy Prior, West Palm Beach, Fla. pr
Chanute Field Backs Lieut. Moser
DERACE MOSER of Texas A. and M. has become Lieut. Robert D. Moser, but soldiers at Chanute fleld, Ill, believe the triple-threat halfback still is a great football player and they are backing him for a place on the College all-stars. The all-stars are now being selected ‘by nation-wide popular vote and when assembled will meet the Chicago Bears, professional grid champs, in Chicago the night of Aug. 28.
o ” o 2 = ” LIEUT. MOSER is the pass-throwing, kicking, ball-toting star who made fans down Texas-way forget some of the exploits of Jarrin’ John Kimbrough, his teammate of the 1940 season. . . . In 1941 Lieut. Moser threw 17 touchdown passes, was named the most valuable backfield man in the Southwest conference, and led A. and M. to a conference championship and into a Cotton bowl game lost to Alabama by a single touchdown margin.

Indians Bid Adieu Tonight Until Aug. 6
In a special “ladies’ night” contest and with Woodie Rich pitching for them, the Indianapolis Indians will say farewell to Victory field tonight until Aug. 6 in the series finale with the second-place Columbus Red Birds, who have annexed two out of three.
ing for first place, where they finished last year, and have advanced to within a game and a half of league-leading Kansas City. It’s a battle royal in the American association’s first division with just five games separating the contenders. Milwaukee, third, only trails by two games and fourth-place Minneapolis by five. ‘After tonight’s games around the loop, there will be a three-day interlude from regular competition on account of the annual all-star game in Kansas City Thursday night.
Trautman Fines
Gabby $25
KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 21 (U. P.).—George M. Trautman, president of the American association, today fined Manager Gabby Hartnett of the Indianapolis Indians $25.
Hartnett was fined for refusing to leave the park when ordered to do so by Umpire 1 Jim Boyer during last Friday night’s game at Indianapolis.
However, on Wednesday night, the Indians are to participate in an exhibition at Lafayette, Ind., against the semi-pro team there. Every member of the club will go to Lafayette. After the exhibition, players Johnny McCarthy, Joe Bestudik and Wayne Blackburn will hustle to Kansas City to play with the allstars against the Blues.
Pressure on in Ninth
The Columbus. Birds had a scare in the ninth inning here last night when the Indians suddenly came to life after being shut out for eight rounds. But the Birds changed pitchers twice in the ninth and won, 3 to 2. The Redskins furnished 4132 customers with a thrill right down to the last out and wo runs were in and two men on base when the side was retired. An unintentional Victory field occurred in the third inning. There was a power failure at 9:10, creating a dim-out, and later all lights were extinguished for a complete blackout of the park. The whole caused a 17-minute delay in play. In the fourth stanza the Birds got to George Gill for two runs on a safe roller, a walk and Ed Lukon’s| p triple to right center. In the seventh the visitors chalked another marker on three singles. Pitcher Bill Crouch batted in the Birds’ seventh-inning run and it proved the margin of victory.
Double Plays Hurt Tribe
Aided by three double plays, Crouch subdued the Tribesters for eight innings, although poor base| running by Gill in the third lost a run for the home team. In the last of the ninth Gil English, first up, singled and Bill Skelley drew a pass, his third of the game. Norman Schlueter singled, scoring English and sending Skel-
second on Right Fielder Myatt’s fumble of his single. Crouch was derricked and Francis Barrett relieved him and struck out Walter Tauscher, who took up the Tribe pitching in the eighth after Gabby Hartnett batted for Gill in the seventh. . Blackburn bounced out to first, Skelley scoring and Schlueter moving to third. Rabbit McDowell drew four wide ones and Manager Eddie Dyer of the Birds removed Barrett and sent in Harry Brecheen, stellar southpaw, to pitch to Jcde Moore, left-handed swinger. Then the Indians sent up Bob Seeds to bat for Moore.. Seeds bats right-hand. But it made no difference to Brecheen. Bob took three swings and fanned for the gameending out. Crouch was the winning pitcher and Gill the loser. Moore led the Tribe’s 10-hit attack with a triple and two singles. Gill helped beat himself by poor base running and erratic fielding in the seventh. On Chuck Aleno’s roller that went for a hit, Gill ap-
merely cuffed at it with one hand. It kept rolling and Aleno was safe.

Morey Among Leaders in Chi Golf Tourney
CHICAGO, July 21 (U. P).— insurance salesman who spent the best years of his golfing career chasing stars like Bobby Jones, “Sandy” Francis. Ouimet and Lawson Little, found himself in the role of pace-setter today in the all-America amateur tournament at the Tam O’Shanter course. As the bulky field of 210 com-
petittors went into the final half of the 36-hole qualifying test for this war-year successor of the Na-
| tional amateur meet, Lehman led
with a sub-par round of 71. Week-End Golfer
The prematurely gray Chicagoan was the only player in the big field able to crack par yesterday in the opening round. Lehman was out in a one under par 35 and back in regulation figures of 36. Lehman, a quarter-finalist in the 1930 National amateur at the Marion Cricket club, Ardmore, Pa., when -he made his greatest bid for a title, has been a “week-end golfer” for almost a decade. His recent competition has been limited, mostly to local events. On Lehman’s heels with even par cards of 72 were five players. They were Johnny Goodman, the former National open and amateur king of Omaha, Neb.; Billy Gilbert of Cincinnati, O., former Big Ten champion; Frankie Stranahan.of Toledo, O.; Bob Cochran cf St. Louis, and Henry Bowbeer of Chicago.
Goodman Bogeys
For Goodman the day was one of missed opportunities. He was out in 35 and then had birdies on the 10th, 11th and 13th holes to go four under regulation figures. However, his bid for the lead ended there. From the 14th tee on Goodman found nothing but trouble. He had four bogeys on the final five holes. ‘Ten players were in a tie for seventh place with 74's. They were Pvt. Pat Abbott of Denver, Colo.; Eddie Fry of Alameda, Cal.; Johnny Stoltz, captain-elect of the Northwestern university golf team; Dale Morey of Martinsville, Ind.; - Jim Frisis, Taylorville, Ill.; Darl Schoonover, Topeka, Kas.; Garth C. Tyrrell Jr, a 17-year-old Beaumont, Tex., boy; K. R. Heilman, St. Louis; Harold Mathison, Chicago, and Wilford Wehrle, Racine, Wis. Then came five players with 75's; fourteen with 76's and eight 77's.
