ST. LOUIS, Sept. Is QP-The world
champion Cardinals divided their third
straight double header with the Giants
today and the two clubs continue in
q tie for second place, each dropping
half q game farther behind the
league leading Pirates, who trimmed
the Braves. The Giants won the first
game by knocking HaineS out of the
box in three innings, piling up g.
run lead and continued the assault
for final total of IL to 8. The Cards
took the closing battle by to 5, dark
ness halting the contest after the New
YOrkers had batted in the eighth.
ST. Louis used 20 players in the
opening encounter, being pitchers.
Terry hit two homersy his 18th and
18th of the season, one coming with
two on base. Taylor made two triples,
one with the bases full when Haines
had purposely passed Harper to get at
Taylor
In the second combat, the Cards
took advantage of New York errors
and hit Fitzsimmons and Walker
hard. Roush and Hafey hit home-5 y
this game in which Frankhouse, a
right handler from Houston, Texas,
won his third straight start for ST.

2-FRENCHMEN Z

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Sept. Is Up
Jean BorOtra and jacques Brugnon
two of the great French tennis players
who won the Davis cup, were cast out
of the national turf court champion
ships tournament today by William T.
Tilden and William NJ Johnston, beat
en- but unbowed veterans of the Unit
ed States cup defense team.
Tilden and Johnston needed but four
sets to win from the French today,

spectacular of the invaders by 6-1, 3-6,
1913, 6-1, and little Bill' coming'from

AS Henry Cochet was beaten in SEN
sational style yesterday by John Hen
nessey of, Indianapolis, only one of
the four French entries now remains
in the running for the championship.
The lone French survivor, Rene La
Coste, who won the title last year,
continued his onward march toward a
probable finals meeting with Tilden by
defeating Manuel Alfonso of Philadel-
phia, fiery Spaniard, 6-8, ga, 6-1, 6-2.
AS Francis IT. Hunter, United States
Davis cup doubles player, was the
fourth to reach the senni-finals, that

effect of his ardouous battle. the day
before, the slim young Hoosier lacked
the stamina for closing effort like
that which beat Cochet, and the stocky
Hunter wore him down by superior
staying power.
In the 1926 tournament it was Bor-
otra who eliminated Vincent Richards
and fought it out with LaCoste in
the final round after Tilden had been
put out by Cochet, so the victory today

1000 SEE TUNNEY
WORK 10 ROUNDS
PARTNERS

LAKE VILLA, Ills, Sept. Is (H9-
With but week to go before facing
Jack Dempsey in defense of the heavy
weight championship, Gene Tunney
today put in his busiest eight hours
since arriving here more than two
week ago.
t Opening the day with reception
of about SO newspapermen, Tunney
later was examined. by DR.. Joseph L.
Russell, representing the Illinois state
boxing commission before working out
ten rounds. More than 1000 spec
tatorS watched. Gene boxed three
sparring partners two rounds apiece
and punched both the light and heavy
bags another round
The workout, Tunhey.s first in three
days and the big inning of the final
drive for physical perfection, amounted
to little more than heavy exercise for
the big champion. Gene warmed up
slowly on the bags, apparently bit
soggy after the lengthy layoff, and
displayed little real energy until he
locked gloves with Chuck Virgins and
Billy Vidabeck In two rounds with
Jackie Williams, a Chicago heavy
weight, Gene clinched a great deal to
avoid the straight right hand Williams
landed on his face occasionally.
Tunney boxed with speed and deft-
ness, dancing lightly out of range
whenever Virgins or Vidabeck cut
loose with both hands to the head
The champions offense consists for
the most part of a ''one-two' attack,
a sharp left jab followed by right
cross to the chin, the two blows land
ing almost as one. Tunney missed fire.
quently with both hands and his tim
ing appeared bit rusty. Tunney
weighed 1913, five pounds more than
he intends to carry into the ring at
Soldiers field next Thursday night.
The insufferable heat that drove
Tunney to Lake Forest for three
day vacation was broken today by a
severe thunderstorm shortly before
the workout. Rain fell internationally
during the afternoon but failed to faze
the crowd that cheered the champion
throughout his training. Gene an
nounced that he would work in public
for the last time Sunday. He will box
tomorrow and rest Saturday Light
work in private probably will bring
the champions training seige to a
close Monday and Tuesday.

ACE DOES STUNTS

PARIS, May 2S. (P)-Captain Chas Lindberah, the "Ame1ican Eagle" stole a march on the French yester- day when he saw Paris alone But he gave them a chance to see how the Americans fly. Borrowing a Newport pursuit plane of the French army Lindbergh took to the air shortly af- ter dawn. He did every stunt on the program of the aviator and finally staged a sham air battle with one of the French fiers. It was so realistic that the commandante of the flying field signaled the Frenchman back to earth, fearful that the game would end in disaster. Lindbergh then went through a series of more stunts for the public, who were watching, finally realizing that it was "the Kid" as they have named him, in the air. After the flight Lindbergh again started a round of receptions in his honor It will be the last day of events for the young aviator because today Saturday. he will leave for Brussels in his own Ryan plane in which he flew across the Atlantic
