Stantial share of the title holders
who "took it on the chin literally
or otherwise, in 1926.
Here, for instance, are five of the
outstanding stars whose campaigns
are expected to carry them back to
the top, or at least in the neighbor-
hood of the pinnacle: Aa
big Bill Tilden, touring abroad
with Frank Hunter with his racquet
tuned especially for fresh duels with
the French riumvirate-Bor Co
chet and LaCoste.
Rogers Hornsby, already we'll in
front of the rest of the National
league pack in his bid to regain the
batting crown he wore for six
straight years until 1926.
Helen Wills, pronounced better
than ever" by experts on the eve of
her trip abroad to seek the worlds
championship honors relinquished by
Suzanne Lenglen.
Ty Cobb, batting over 400, besides
showing most of his old time speed
and dash, in a Campaign of virldi-
cation"
Jack Dempsey, on whose behalf the
tom-tom are already being beaten
by experts pronouncing him in rug
ged condition and fit to fight his
way back to return championship
tilt with Gene Tunney.

NATIONAL

NEW YORK, May IL R.-The New

the National league leadership today by
defeating the St. Louis Cardinals by
3 to in IL innings. The contest ended
abruptly when Terry opened the final
session with single and the next two
flied out. Devormer hit short fly
which Douthit muffed after hard run,
and Terry scored from first base.
Grimes and Henry pitched great ball
against the veteran Alexander, who got
himself out of a bad hole in the ninth
by retiring his opponents with the
bases filled and one out when pinch
hitter Reese hit into double play.
Douthit hit home run with none on
base in the fifth. Lester Bell, st. Louis
third baseman, struck out five times,
four of them being by Grimes. The
score:
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-05-13

If the st. Louis Cardinals don't
win the National league flag again,
it won't be because they have ac-
quired "swelled heads" in the opin-
ion of their manager, Bob O'FarrelI.
There was some kicking over sal
aries before the season started" said
O'Farrell, "but the whole team is
satisfied now, pulling together and
playing more smoothly than ever
before behind the greatest sort of
pitching could ask for"
Two youthful members of the 1926
Walker cup team may battle it out
this year for the intercollegiate golf
title-Watts Gum OF Georgia Tech
and Roland Mackenzie, Brown soph-
omore. The title holder for the past
two years, Fred Lamprecht of Tu-
lane and Cleveland, has graduated.
Gum was eligible last year, but
didn't compete. This will be the first
oportunity for Mackenzie, who is
only 10 years DID, but nevertheless
an experienced competitor
