 The "hoodoo." held by the Yankees over the hapless St. Louis Browns seems to be one of the most effective on record. The Tanks and Browns have played r games this year and the St. Louis team has failed to break into the victory col umn once, The Hugman took off the heavy side of a 10-6 game score at Sportsman's park yesterday. It was a free-swinging game and Babe Ruth lashed out his 42nd home run of the season to become two up on Lou Gehrig. The Bambino parked the ball out of the lot in the first inning with Koenig on base. It was Ruths second homer in successive days. Ruether and Wingard were ineffective and were replaced with shocker and Van Glider, respective ,ly. Washington continued in the slump that has jolted the team from second to fourth place.

STARS BATTLE IN
 TENNIS TOURNEY
Semi-Finahsts Hope to Break Standstil in Championships

Forest Hills, N. Y. Aug. 2a Pl- Semifinalists in the national women's S tennis championships hoped today to break the standstill that has pre- vailed here for the last two days. Two star attractions were set for the singles division, with Mrs. A. H.. Chapin, Jr., of Springfield, Mass, op- posing Miss Betty Nuthall of Eng land, and Miss Helen Wills drawn against her fellow Californian, Miss Helen Jacobs.
 Few were daring enough to predict the outcome of the Nuthall- -Chapin encounter, although the English girl. despite her lack of tournament ex- perience, has perhaps the better re- cord for the season. Mrs. Chapin while somewhat cratic earlier in the year, has come into full com- man dof her game. She was eim- mated early in the Seabright tour nament but started quickly in the national championship and provided its biggest upset in the elimination of Mrs. Molla Mallory, eight times champion and defending titleholder.
 The only weakness to show in the game of Miss Nuthall has been her underhand service, but her forehand and backhand driving and her abil- ity to anticipate her opponents strat- egy has won her a large following.
 The California Helens have met frequently since Miss Jacobs came into prominence four years ago. but Little Poker Face" has yet to lose a match to her friendly rival. With Miss Wills playing at the top of her game there appears to be little likeli- hood of an upset in the semi-finals.
 While England has only one of the four contenders in the singles that nation will have seven competitors in the doubles. Miss Eileen Bennett and Miss Joan Fry oppose Miss Gwynneth Sterry and Mrs. John Hill, also of England. in the fourth round, and Miss Ermyntrude Harvey and Miss Kitty Mckane Godfree clash with the winner of the Jacobs Bennett and Mrs. Chapin Miss Eleanor Goss match.
 Today's program.
 2 D. m. - Miss Nuthall vs Mrs. Chapin
 3 p. m. - Miss Wills vs Miss Jacobs.

 Although the schedule works a. severe hardship on Mrs. Chapin, who must play two and possibly three matches, 1t was made necessary by the third weather postponement since the tournament started a week ago today

peak of her game and her game at its best is not as good as the Ameri- can girls. The Spanish champion and the Dutch champion haven't improved much in recent years while Miss Wills has consistently developed her game.
 There remain as two bright pros- poets for the future, the little Eng fish miss. Betty Nuthall and Helen Jacobs, of Berkeley.
 Miss Nuthall never will get any place as long as she sticks to her underhand service and apparently she is going to stick to it. Members of the American teams that visited England last year advised her to cultivate an overland service and it is understood that she has been talk ing lessons to develop it but the results haven't shown in her game.
 It is a good guess that Helen Jacobs, for a number of years at least. will not be serious rival of Miss Wills because she has too much respect for the game of the champion and she is not old enough to shake off the inferiority complex.
 The first match of the semi-final round today is scheduled for two o'clock between Miss Nuthall and Mrs. Charlotte Hosmer Chapin and the second match at three o'clock between Miss Wills and Miss Jacobs.

HELEN HAS EDGE
 ON ALL RIVALS
Miss Wills Seems Destined to Win Championship

West Side Tennis Club, Forest Hills, N. Y, Aug, 29 (UP)-With Helen Wills dominating information al tennis by a number of generous miles, the question offered by the national championship tournament this year is not-"Who will win ?" But-"How long will it be before Miss Wills loses?"
 As far as speculation is concern ed, the concluding rounds of the championship which were to be re- sumed here today after a second postponement were like several of those track features this season in which only one horse started.
 There always are possibilities. Miss Wills might lose her semi final round match today to Helen Jacobs and she might be defeated in the final match by either little Betty Nuthall, the English miss, or Mrs. Charlotte Hosmer Chapin, an- other of the distinguished California school.
 But those possibilities aren't worth a dime. It isn't customary for appendicitis to pay second visit and it was only an appendix operation that kept Miss Wills from retaining her national championship last year.
 The results of the big tourna- mnets this year prove the margin of class that Miss Wills has on the entire field
 Mrs. Mallory. one of the most re- liable of the old relia bles, apparent ly is through. This may sound like an annual requiem but the fact and the figures remain that the seven- time national champion is no longer a serious rival of the young Cali fornia girl. Mrs. Mallory still may be able to beat lot of them but she has passed beyond the cham pionship class.
 Miss Wills has beaten Mrs. Kath- leen McKane Godfree, the British champion: Senorita De Alvarez, the Spanish champion and Miss Kea Bouman, the Dutch champion and that completes the list of interna- tional leaders.
 Mrs. Godfree has reached the

|ESTELLE WATCHES 1 JACK IN TRAINING
Apparently Enjoys Spectacle
 Until Men Get Rough

Crete, H., Aug. 29 UP)-The pro- cess of preparing Jack Dempsey for his attempt to temper Gene Tunney's widely advertised egotism on Sept p was fully under way today with all corners who possessed S1.10 en- titled to witness a double attraction. They could not only see the man who may prove to be the greatest boxer in the world go through his paces, but they could observe his wife looking on, apparently enjoying the performance until the men in the ring got extraordinarily rough. Estelle Taylor, the actress, other wise Mrs. Jack Dempsey, sat on the top of the grand stand at Lincoln fields race track yesterday . and watched her husband go through seven rounds of relatively hard box ing.
 Miss Taylor was only recently re- covered from an illness which kept her confined for several weeks and her nurse went to the training camp with her. Although Estelle turned away from the ring when Jack open d a gash over the eye of Benny Krueger. the husky German, and both fighters became spattered with blood she looked on and smiled when Jack battered 200-pound Homawood, III. policeman uncon- scious
 The victim was Bill Marshall and his craving to show his ability to the former champion was satisfied in something under three minutes.
 More than 1,5Q5 spectators saw the workout yesterday and seemed satisfied they had obtained their dol lars worth,

TOO WET TO BOX
More Than 1.5OO Persons Wait in Rain to See Champion Gene Tun- ney Work Out.

Speculator, N. Y, Aug 20 LP- While more than 1.500 persons per sons waited in the rain for Gene Tunney 10 resume his sparring ses-
 sions on the last leg of his mountain training fo the Jack Dempsey fight, the champion yesterday decid- cd it was too damp and the ring too slippery for safety. Instead of box ing Tunney hit out for the open road on a Is mile hike. It was the

New York, Aug. 29.-This Roberto
 Roberti, who up to few weeks ago | crushed stone daily in some small
 hamlet in Italy, seems to have the l ear-smashing fraternity in Gotham
 evincing an unusual amount of in- terest in him.
 l Pauline Uzcudum was the heavy i weight sensation last season, and, as
 one of those things must be had to
 feed the gullible public every sea son, Roberti has been imported this
 year. Perhaps to do as Pauline did
 work himself into big dough.
 This seasons new heavyweight sensation is not the common garden
 variety of caulif1ower. He is the
 biggest and fastest palooka yet im- I ported.
 His name Is Roberto Roberti. He is 22 years old and weighs 218 pounds in frst-class fighting trim. He measures feet inches in height and his reach is 72 inches.
 There's quite a colorful back ground to this Italian youth who stalks about Humbert Fugazys office with all the 1.-the grace of a Nubian leopard.
 Back in the sunny stone quarry of his native Luca in far off Italy. Roberti perspired earning his daily bread and vino shot breaking huge chunks of marble. An aged priest and friend of the Roberti family, Father Del Ficorentino, watched the young giant use crowbar for a toothpick or something one noon hour while resting in the shade of the spaghetti trees. Suddenly the big idea struck him.
 Why not ship this consignment of biceps or medulla oblongato on the hoof direct to Madison Square Gar den, N. Y, and horn in on some of the easy dough lesser mastodons were picking up?
 At first the good padre thought of shipping his beef collect, but then visions of Tex Rickard refusing the young freight car arose and nasty collection was taken.
 FODeTll dTTlNeQ ana llnNleQldCelV the sports writers went daffy over him. They say he is the best pros- pect since the day Luis Angel Firpo showed his bushy black head over the horizon.
 Roberto is training at Pompton Lakes, N. J., for a series of winter engagements. He was fed one Joni- dis, Greek champion, for his first setup and smashed him to the can- Va sin jig time.
 Tn like manner he disposed of one Celt named O'Connell bit later. But those were preliminary vic i tories. No one yet knows why they called Jonidis the Greek heavyweight champion-it was all Greek to him. And where did O'Connell hail from :? Anyway, Roberto Roberti is on the tongue of every ravioli merchant ! in this and neighboring states Drop into your local barber shop or viii lage shine emporium and find out i for yourself. His countrymen are going to give him plenty of time. They believe he has a sweet chance
 of getting somewhere and the funny part of this story is-so do lot of unsolf1sh promoters.
 At least, they argue. the publicity
 won't hurt nobody nohow.

 Joe sclocker vs. Freddy Ullman 6 rounds).
 Al Schooner vs. Irish Dan Cronin (4 rounds).
 Hartford, Aug. 29-Maxie Rosen- bloom of New York and Jimmy slattery of Buffalo clash at the Hartford Velodrome tonight in a bout on which turns the light heavy weight championship Of the world. New York will not recognize the winner as the worlds champion, having already designated Mike Nc Tigue a successor to Jack Delaney. but practically every other state in the union will as the National Box ing Federation, which embraces more than twenty-five states, has sanctioned the bout as a champion ship affair.
 Both Slattery and Rosenbloom are on the battle ground and in fine shape for the bout. Rosenbloom has been working out in Hartford all week at the Charter Oak gym while Slattery arrived here yesterday from Holyoke where he has been training for several days. Both boys are few pounds under the light heavy limit and are sure of being at the right weight when they weigh in before State Athletic Commissioner Thomas E. Donohue this afternoon.
 Rosenbloom. with victories over Dave Shade, Tiger Flowers, George Courtney and many other good boys, is confident of beating Slattery, but Jimmy points to two previous wins over Rosenbloom an adds that he is back in old-time form, in the form that he was when he scored vic tories over Jack Delaney and many  other ring notables.
 The advance sale indicates big gallery for this bout which bids fair to be the only championship bout in New England this summer. Hol- yoke and Springfield, both strong Slattery towns, will send big delega- tions' to root for the Buffalo boy.
 The semi-final of ten rounds finds Homer Robertson, negro middle weight and persistent challenger of Tiger Flowers, meeting Vic Me Laughlin of Brooklyn.
 There are two eight-rounders on the card: Tommy Dunn of Holyoke vs. Sammy Offerman, winner over Steve Smith and several other good boys; and Joe Schlocker, Pacific Coast welter vs. Freddy Ullman of the Rosenbloom stables.
 The opener of four rounds Is apt to be rugged and exciting, if not too scientific. In this bout, Al Schooner of East Hampton will battle Irish Dan" Cronin of Boston. They are heayyweights.
 The first bout is set for s.15.

Rain Saturday which lasted through the entire morning, wet the ground so at Walnut Hill park that the City league baseball games scheduled for the afternoon had to be called off at noon. The three con- tests which were scheduled will be played off this coming Saturday. No arrangements have yet been made for playing off the rained-out games of July 23.
