ness economics.
To devote himself to his favorite
study, Mr.. Clark found it necessary to
retire from all active connection with
business affairs. Accordingly he re-
signed the presidency of the Midwest
Refining Co, the vice presidency of the
Pan American Eastern Petroleum Co.

Co, of Indiana. The Job which he ex-
poets to begin. after completing his
graduate work at Hopkins, is relative

the rest of his life to do whatever he
likes. he has chosen to return to that

the study of philosophy and economics.

HUNTER IS Alone
IN Tennis PLAY
Veteran Davis Cup Star Meets
Henry Cochet in Finals Today

Forest Hills. N. Y. Sept. II ~
Only Francis r. Hunter stands be-
tween France and her third straight
victory in the United States, national
singles tennis championship.
The Davis cup veteran and No. ::
In the national ranking meets Henri
Cochet, ace of the invading French
forces, in the final round today. 1t
is the first time either has been a
finalist in this tournament
In Paris odds Of two and three to
one are being offered that the ball
boy Of Lyons will succeed Rene La
coste as American champion. Over
here the odds are shorter, but Cochet
none the less is decided favorite.
Against the Frenchman's brilliant
all-round game. Hunter must de-
pend largely on his tremendously
powerful forchand drive. backed up
by the adequate, but far from per-
feet forecourt game he displayed
during the past week. Hunter al
ready has played the part of a giant
killer in the current tournament. de-
feating Jean Borotra and George
Lott, Undertaking players of
France and America, and his sup
porters are hoping he will repeat
the role today. But even the op-
timists are doubtful whether a player
of Hunters somewhat limited stroke
equipment can defeat Cochet whose
mastery Of strokes and court gen.
eralship approaches perfection.
Against Lott in the semi-f1nals on
Saturday, Hunter won by combining
his regular game with his new-found
ability to volley and play the center
court. The New Rochelle star COW
cred the court well and sent over his
sizzling placements from the net as
we'll as the baseline. He forced his
opponent into errors at the driving
game and held him in check when
Lott tried to draw him away from
his favorite position.
Cochet. however. has the steadi-
ness and sustained ability that is
lacking in the young Chicagoan.
Able to beat the worlds best play
ers on one of his good days, Lott is
subject to lapses when he can be cut
down by players lacking his capabili-
ties. and the steady Hunter never
failed to take ADVANTAGES nf thaSe

After trailing the Burritt nine at

team suddenly rallied and two hits
coupled with three walks gave them
two runs and 3 to 2 verdict in
the third game of the city elimina-

The game was the fastest battle of
the series SO far and was witnessed
by one of the largest crowds OF
the season.
Lefty" Atwood was on the mound
for the Falcons and the old re-
liable was In great form. Atwood
held the Burritts to four hits and
outside of the second inning when
the losers scored their only two

The Burritt twirler pitched a steady
game until the disastrous seventh
and had the Falcons we'll in hand.
As usual. the feeling between the
rooters OF the two teams ran high
and during parts Of the game the
players on both mines became bitter
in their talk concerning the UNI
pire's decisions. In the sixth in

terrific liner into left field that
looked good for three bases but the
ball dropped foul by few feet.
The Burritt team ran out into the
field claiming that the ball had
landed fair and 4 lengthy argument
Of over hve minutes resulted. Bud
nick had reached third on the hit
and KAMA scored.
Both teams fielded In sensational
style only one error being made in
the whole contest. The work Of the
infield was wonderful to watch.
especially the work of Bucheri and
McCleary rival shortstops. These
two men put in a busy afternoon
handling hard hits. .''Starhead"

game in the second inning when he
went into right field and made 4
one hand stop of McCleary's drive.
81 Budnick came to the front in the
seventh when he made q fine catch
Of Klatka's terrific drive with the
bases loaded.
Atwood, besides pitching a great
game, was the batting hero of the
game. Lefty's terrific drive for 4
double in the NTH inning accounted
for the first run and his single in
the seventh tied the score at two all.
Both were hard hit balls. McCleary
continued his hitting streak, driving
