PHILADELPHIA ATHLETICS
VERGE ON TOTAL COLLAPSE
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Beaten in
five successive games, the Philadel-
phia Athletics today are on the verge
of a total collapse such as wrecked
early season hopes for Connie Mack
in previous years.
Defeat of the youthful Quaker City
combination yesterday by the Chicago
White Sox, s to 2, bore unmistakable
signs of cracking on the part Of
Mack's entry. Pitchers were wild and
ineffective against Collins club, team
hitting continued weak, while the de-
tense was unsteady at crucial periods.
Shelley was the big gun in the Sox
attack, with three singles and a
double.
The tumble of Philadelphia, how
ever. lost the club no further ground
in the American League race. Wash
ington, one game in the lead, likewise
went down to defeat at the hands of
Detroit, as Stan Coveleskie lost an
thinning pitching duel to Earl White

The reverse earned double DloW
for the Senators, who also lost their
veteran first-baseman, Joe Judge, con-
cussion of the brain, resulting from a
blow on the head from a pitched ball,
put Judge in a hospital.
In spite Of the absence Of their
leader, Iris Speaker, who is out Of
the game as the result of a similar
accident in being struck on the arm by
a pitched ball, the Indians put over
2-to-1 victory against the Yankees
yesterday. Jameson scored both runs

JAPAN.
AUSTRALIANS
IN FINALS
By the Associated Press.

BROOKLINE, Mass, Aug. 22.-
1t will be Australia against France
in the final inter-zone Davis Cup play
TO decide the nation whose tennis
team will challenge the United States
this year for international hOnors.
This was decided on the Longwood
Cricket Club center court late Friday,
when Australia's doubles aces, John
B. Hawkes. and Gerald Patterson,
routed Zenzo Shimizu and Takeichi
Harada Of Japan in straight sets,
81, GO, 81.
II was decisive conclusion to the
work of Patterson and James o. An
derson who started Japan on the way
TO defeat in the finals of the Ameri-
can zone competition Thursday by vic
tories over Shimizu and Harada in
singles. The margin Of superiority
established in the singles was main
tanned by the Antipodean pair by
their overwhelming doubles victory.
L0BBING FAILS
In the first two sets the little
Nipponese pair strOYe desperately and
unsuccesfully TO stem the Australian
attack. They were driven into retreat
BY the barrsge laid down by their OPP
ponents, the booming service Of Pat
terson, Hawkes. deceptive, twisting
left hand serves, hard-hit drives by
both opponents and Hawkes. effective
volleying. Uselessly, they tried 10 lob
over the heads Of their opponents and
force the cYer-pre5ent menace OF both
Hawkes. and Patterson into the back
court. The Antipodeans ran over Jap
an roughshod, dropping only three
games in two sets-these chiefly
through errors.
The last set was different, but the
result was the same in the end. Play
ing their hardest, the japanese post
poned defeat through 10 games until a
final burst Of the Australians brought
victory in set, match and zone final
with a score Of 81.
HAWKES. STEADIEST
Patterson and Hawkes. earned AZ
points against % for the japanese.
The Australians were charged with
81 errors and Harada and Shimizu G2.
Throughout Hawkes. was the stend-
Ter and surer Of the Australians. Pat
terson was erratic. Harada was Jap
ans mainstay.
Today in the last two singles which
now amount 10 little more than ex-
hibitions Hawkes. will play Masano-
suke Fukuda, and Harada will meet
Patterson.

BOOZE AND GONZALES.

Booe's double, long fly by Watt
after which Booze took third, and
Gonzales customary hit make it 60
IN the fourth.
In the fifth, hits by Clark and
Rosenthal and a walk 10 Washburn
issued by Morgan filled the bases with
one away but Warwick grounded into
double play.
The Spudders got one in the fourth
ON a walk, an infield hit and a clean
single by Callagban; two more in
the sixth on a single, two doubles
and an error by Gonzales, and the
last in round seven on a single,
two-base wild pitch and an inficld
out.
In the seventh, Watt, trying 10
catch Alex Metzler off first base, hit
him in the head and Metzler had to
retire from the game. The injury
is not reported serious, although il
unnerved Watt for a moment and
the costly wild pitch followed. He
settled down, however, and finished
strong.

the Cats as virtually in" with their

Watt pitched against the Spuds,
who had won eight straight before
they bumped into big Frank, and be
hurled what is known as a nice ball
game.
He was given a six run lead and
held II through a couple Of lurid Spud-
der rallies. In all. the home ream
collected but eight hits off him.
Gonzales. who has been hitting 81
a rreat clip the last few weeks and
who poked his head over the 300
mark only the other afternoon, fat
tened the old average with four safe
blows. including a double.
Danny Clark, league leading batter,
pushed his average notch closer TO
400, which is just a jump or two
away. by hitting safely three times
in three official trials. One Of his
blows went for an extra sack.
And Watt hit home run.
Chief Mason. who has a quarter OF
a hundred stolen bases for the sea-
son since he started on his recent
wild career of thievery, added two
more steals.
