ALL-FRENCH FINAL
 IS IN PROSPECT
Foreign Tennis Stars Appear
 Strongest

New York Sept. ? P,-An all French final was in prospect as more than 60 tennis stars set out for the national championships at For est Hills this week, first matches in which were scheduled today.
 Rene Lacoste. defending champion and conqueror of both William T Tilden and William NJ Johnston in the Davis cup matches at Philadel- phia. is the r"iEDing favorite and may come to the final round against another French star, Henri Cochot.
 + the French do carry off the national championship they will hay" every major title of 1927 in their posse Ssion. Tilden and John ston, Americas hopes, are in oppo- site halves of the draw. Tilden is drawn with Cochct, John Docg, Francis T. Hunter. Jean Washer of Belgium, Richard \, Williams, Fritz Nercur and Jean Borotra, among others, and his path to tho final is considered more difficult than that Of Johnston, who is arrayed against Lacostc, Manuel Alonso. Wallace F. Johnson, Takeichi Harada and Jacquos BruSuon.
 Even thouEh Tilden should reach the semi final round and clash with rcch"t, whom ho defeated at Phil advlphia. it is doubtful if he would have the stamina to pull out an other victory. Tilden was rested for his opening match, but in the event Of another Cochet meeting he will have several days of strenuous paying behind him.
 The possibility of Little Bill John ston holding up through the siege is considered slight for he too, tir- ,f rapidly last week.
 Tilden's fighting spirit is set on record. nevertheless. His hope is that of eq,IalinE the record for yic- tories gained hy 2 single player in the national championships Rich $.

YANKEES AMONG
 GREATEST TEAMS
Connie Mack Ranks Them With
 Best Of All Time

New York Sept. 12 P>-Thc , Yankees not only are in d class by homselyes this year, so far as the American league is concerned but they rank unquestionahly among the greatest teams of all time, in the estimation Of Connie Mack.
 The veteran chief of the Athletics was sitting in his office al Shibe Park, where he has controlled the destinies of many a great ball club of his own. as he discussed this years pennant race" with the As soriated Press correspondent It has been another big disap- pointmcnt to the Tall Tutor as his own team failed 10 meet eXpec- tations this season. but he showed no hesitation in handing the palm to the walloping men Of Miller Hug gins.
 ''The Yankees have everything said Connie. People perhaps think Of them most as great bunch or hit trrs. or course they are. probably 'll' i'h A''Tl that was 'Nfi gut. IT together. But they have good pitch CTS, too. and reserve strength of such calihre that there is no appar- ont slackening in the teams pace when regulars are forced out or pitchers show signs Of weakening. They are a smart club. 100, They can play any type Of game. They can slug team into submission or beat 'em by one run in a tight game. They can run the bases and they have q great defense. What more conl1 they have"
 There seemed no adequate answer 10 this, other than q nod Of acqui- essence. Offhand. i' wouldn't seem anything more wa. necessary
 "Whcn We started out this season. counted pretty heavily on our pitchers" COnui" went on. T thought We would get just about the hest pitching in the league. based on what my men had shown the sea son before. But it didn't measure up to my hopes.
 That is chiefly the reason why We didn't make a closer race of t. But granting even that my pitch ing had come through or that every thing else had gone well. am frank 10 admit that l do not think We. or any other club, could have stopped tho Yankees. They would have won under any circumstances.
 "Inst"ad of it being runaway. however, the race would have been closer now and granting us more Of the breaks. but that's all As if is, the race has been virtually over since June. The Yankees. instead of showing any signs Of weakening, have gotten better. When their pitchers slumped little, Wiley Moore stepped in 10 bolster mp the staff. His relief pitching has been q tower of strength"
 Of the two Yankee Bls Bcrthas. Lou Gchrig is now more dangerous hatsmau than Babe Ruth, in Macks cstir1ation.
 "ff I was pitcher would rath- CT taco itulh than ti"Erlg. ! he Ba h" is the harder hitter of the two, that is, he gcts greater distance, greater than anybody the game has over known. but Gchrig is more con- sistent He is liable 10 hit anything anywhere. But there isn't much 10 choose, Either one can break up I ball Game.'
