Yanks a dozen games and catch them

1t is true that the Yankees have had

had so long a lead that half of their

~ PHILADELPHIA. September g.
William M. Johnston, the i'm
mortal Little Bill of tennis,
who is here for the Franco
American team matches. thinks
it may be five or six years before the
United States wins back the Davis Cup.
The former mighty atom" OF the
courts. now a San Francisco salesman
on a vacation, saw little ground for OPP
timism in the opening matches of the
two-day series yesterday, when the
French won three of the four played.
Henri Cochet defeated George Lott.

Hennessey Ga, 3-6. "a. and Chris

bles. 60, IS, while Johnny Van Ryn
won the only American victory by scores
of 6-3, 60, over Jacques Brugnon.
Cochet Is Praised.
Johnston was more inclined to talk
of the Improvement in Cochet's game
than of winning back the cup. What
impressed him most of all. he said, was
the greatly improved playing of Cochet.
There was no one on the courts,
French or American, who could come
up to the standard of Cochet or the
other great French star, Rene Lacoste, F"
Little Bin went on, land until America
develops some one who can beat them
the Davis Cup will stay in France.
These young French players are all
right, but they are not in the class with
those two. They're no better than our

Lacoste come only once in tennis gen.

We had our day and we're on top for

The Nationals yet may have a

The club prexy, who has agreed to

The old Heisnan shift, the Golden
Tornado of Georgia Tech that swept
through Southern foot ball from the
dawn of this century to within few
years ago like all cyclonic winds, is a
thing of the past. Instead, the
rambling wrecks from Georgia Tech"
adopted brand-new attack last Fall
that spilled the beans not only for
Wallace Wade's Crimson Tide from
Alabama hitherto one of the great
est teams of the country, but also
turned in one of the real surprises OF
the season at it's close when it beat
down the sturdy Georgia team,
hitherto undefeated and proudly
dangling the scalp of Yale as 1t
entered this battle This game was
played before many of the foot ball
experts of the country.
What stood out in Techs new at
tack-an attack it is to hold to this
year-was the odd position OF the
quarterback. He was not only UNI
orthodox but -clockwise, to say
the least. When the center got down
to snap the ball, Techs quarter
leaned over in the opposite direction,
with hands down through his legs
and in a position to take the ball
from the rear. From that position
he could fake or pass to any back, or
he could dig out before the ball was
snapped. which one player may do.
and thus become effective in the
interference or in taking. One such
play will suffice, play in which he
breaks to his right with the other
backs. while No. 2, squatting low,
drives through center after taking a
direct pass. Such play disconcerts
the defense.
What to eat, how to eat, overcom-
ing Indigestion, are some of the
questions answered in Sol MetZger's
leaf1et on "Diet and Training for
Foot Ball." Mr.. Metzger will send
this leafiet to any one sending

YANKS SIGN THOMAS,
OKLAHOMA TWIRLER
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 8.-The
Yankees have bought Fay Thomas
pitcher, from Oklahoma City of the
Western League.
John McGraw signed Thomas in 1925
upon the recommendation of Sam CraW
ford. He was farmed to Hartford and
Buffalo. and then Oklahoma City
claimed him.
Thomas, while still in college, had
earned bit of vacation money in the
Mississippi Valley League under an as
eumed name, and Oklahoma City had
drafted him under that name.
Base Ball Commissioner Lands ruled
favorably to Oklahoma City, made
Thomas ineligible for year and order
ed him to repay the Giants the money
they had advanced him for signing as
a free agent in California college.

n YEW YORK, September with
a fine record for their last
seven series back of them, the
4 Nationals will be at Griffith
Stadium tomorrow to start
their final home stand of the season.
The stand will consist of three-game
set with the Red Sox, an outfit that has
topplcd the Harris horde with astonlsh-
ing ease. even though in last place in
the American League standings. But
with the Nationals playing so much bet
ter base ball now than when they last
encountered the Carrigan crew-which,
by the way. happened at Boston in
June-they have a great chance to get
the better end of the argument conclud-
ing the season in Washington.
Jones Due to Pitch.
IT is fairly certain that Sam Jones.
who has registered six victories in a
row. will hurI one of the games for the
Nationals in the Sunday oouble-header
that will open the Red Sox series. The
left handed Lloyd Brown may swing
into action in the other. The Boston
nitching choices for the twin bill can
not be foretold very well. so busy are
Bill Carrigan's moundSmen being kept
by the Athletics in the Hub these days.
Monday the curtain will be rung down
on Washjngtons 1928 season, with the
Nationals and Red Sox mingllng IN
single engagement. To Milton CASTOR,
who pitched against the Boston cIuo III
the campaign started on April 10, may
fall the honor of facing the same club
in the Capital finale.
By taking both ENDS of the double bill
with the Yankees yesterday, the Ma
tionals not only pulled Miller HugglnS
club back to a flrst-place tie with the
aspiring Athletics, but also cllnched the
f1ve-pame series here. 1t was the tnlro
victory in four starts for Bucky Harris
band in Col Jake Rupperts stadium
this trip and made certain the winning
of six of the last seven series 1t has
played.
Playing Fine Ball.
Since ending a long road trip on
August IL, the. Nationals have bagged
Is of % games in which they have
participated In Washington sets were
grabbed from the Browns, Tigers, White
Sox, Yankees and Athletics, each by
two-to-one game count. The only series
not captured was the one with the
Indians and that was halved, each side
winning twice. And this morning the
Nationals were two games up on the
Yankees with only this afternoons con-
test to go to complete the visit to this
town. A record to be proud of.
Bob Reeves, who played at second
base in the double-header yesterday
may remain at that station during the
remainder of the Nationals stay in the
East. Bucky Harris is nursing an
abScess on knee and does not expect
to be ready for service before several
days have rolled by. Otherwise the
club will line up as it started in this
series.
