 to Be Played Today

Forest Hills, l.. l.. Sept. l tCP)- The United States tennis team will meet England in the first of the in ternatjonal matches at Forest Hiils this afternoon without the services of George Lott, IT,, and John Hem nesSey.
 The American doubles combina- ton were in Chestnut Hill, Mass, eetjng the Australian team of Ger ald l.. Patterson and Jack Hawkes. in the finals of the national doubles championship. Since Lott and Hen- nessey cannot participate at Forest Hills, the United States Lawn Ten his association announces the fol- lowing resarranged schedule:

 In w. H. Austin England will present to the tennis public a young player who will likely reach the ten- his heights formerly occupied by the Doherty brothers. Pim. the Renshaw brothers, and others of worlds ten- his history. In many respects he compares to Wilbur F. Coen. Jr.. Kansas City who has already had his Davis cup baptism. Austin. while still under sixteen on the public school boys championship of England in 1921. He also won the Cambridge university singles title in 1926. Austin has won over Lott and Hennessey. having beaten them in the international team match at E.astbourne last June. In the third round of the English championship he defeated Wilbur F. Coen. IT,. in five set match. He was defeated by the brilliant Rene Lacoste in the fourth round after five set match The doubles match between Doeg and coen and Higgs and Collins should prove of interest.

HORNSbY FAT7ENS
 BATTING AVERAGE
Braves Manager Puts Little
 Pressure On His Work

New York, Sept. LP-Just when it began to seem as if Paul Waner's drive to overhaul Rogers Hornsby in the race for the National league bat ting championship might be success full. the Boston manager applied a little pressure on his own account and soon widened the margin be- tween himself and his challenger. Hornshy leads by .3S2 to .373, ac- cording to averages issued today and including games of last Wednesday. While Hornsby's margin is not great, he has this satisfaction-his average is some ten points higher than the greatest total the elder Waner has been able to reach at any time this season, and for that reason probably will hold good through the remaining four weeks of the cam paign.
 The Pirate flash has other laurels and seems to have little need to wor- ry over the batting crown. He leads in total hits with 1S7; in runs with 191: in doubles with A and in triples with IT. This is greater monopoly even than Jim Bottomley Of St. Louis was able to set up earlier in the campaign. Bottomley now excels in runs batted in--with 106.
 Cuyler and Wilson of the Cubs are the two remaining individual leaders in offense-Cuyler in stolen bases with 26. and Wilson in home runs with 30. Bottomley is second to hack in homers with 26. and Del Bissonette of Brooklyn, third with 20. Don Hurst of the Phils and Chic Hafey of St. Louis share fourth place. each having 19.

The last of the regularly sched- uled games in the City Baseball league will be played at Walnut Hill park this afternoon although there remain on the slate number of postponed games which will have to bs played off before the season can be ended.
 This afternoon the Burritts and Tabs will batter away at each other on Diamond No. at 2 o'clock. These two teams appear to be out of the race for the championship but one is fighting to keep out of the cellar and the other wants to retain its standing as near the top as is possible.
 At the same time. o'clock, the Pirates will be facing one of the hardest tests of the entire season when they meet the Rangers on Diamond No. 2. With a chance re- maining to beat out the West Ends for the championship of the league, the Corsairs are going into today's game determined to win. The Rang- CTS however, form a big obstacle and the Pirates will have to be at their best to win.
 At o'clock on Diamond No. i, the West Ends and the Cardinals will battle it out. The West enda stand slightly ahead ol the Rangers in the league because of the fact that the team has won one more game than the Pirates though los- ing just as many. A loss for the West Ends could be calamity pro- vided the Pirates win their contest.

 With both clubs confident of vic. tory. tho fans who plan to attend are anticipating one of the stiffest diamond battles seen here in recent yearA. Those who can remember back in the old days can recall then other games which attracted the interest of this coming battle but memory is dim on any case where the rivalry between any two teams has been so hot.

 Strange as it may seem, the Bur. rltts stand today as the favorjtes in the battle tomorrow. More than two-thirds of the Polish people of the city are with the team and against the Falcons which is an old-line and long established Polish society. This is probably due to tho fact that the Burritts are essential. ly and strictly local team while the Falcons is an aggregation If stars selected from various points about the state.
