When the bad news was re-
layed to Capt. TweddelI. of the

and said:

Tony I1azZer1 is now definitely out
of the regular lineup. taking his
lame wing and $50 batting average
with him. This is likely to prove
heavy blow to the Yankees.
Durocher is but a shadow of the
great Californian.
When the Yankees were last in
ST. Louis, LaZzeri's arm went back
on him and he was given a rest.
He has been played for the past
two weeks under handicap of
being unable to throw overland,
thus interfering with possible double
plays.
The strain of the pennant race
is telling ON the champions,
threatening to rob them of the
title. The entire team has been
la a batting slump for weeks
and this, with the cracking hurl-
ing corps, has had much to do
with the slipping OF the outfit.
That strain isn't likely to be eased
up any here. either. The Ganks

the doubles final.
1t is the second time that the
fair champion has been aired WITH
Mrs. Wightman to enter the finais
for the doubles title and there is
little reason to doubt that they
will cIinch this title just as readily
as they won when teamed together
for the first time in 1924. 1t is
worthy of additional note that MIS-
Wigbtman has already figured as
q national doubles champion five
times. while Miss Willis has played
that role three times, once less
than she has captured the singles
championship.
Miss Wills Is so far superior to
Miss Jacobs, her challenger liz
foday's finals, that the question is
not will she win, but by how much
will she win Despite the victory
OF Miss Jacobs in the semifinals
Saturday, when she overcame a
spirited rally by Mrs. Molla Blur
stedt Mallory and vanquished the
fighting Morse woman in straight
sets, there is nothing in the play OF
the Santa Barbara girl TO indicate
that she can match the champiOn,
In fact, when she met Miss Wills
only two weeks ago in the finals Of
the East Hampton singles, Miss
Jacobs was able to win only three
games and in the semifinals of the
1927 championships she was no
more successful.
Mrs. Charlotte Hosmer Chaplin
gave the champion a stiff fight in
the quarter finals on Friday, taking
total OF six games in the two
sets, two in the first and four in
the second. Only five times in the
course of the entire season has Miss
Wills lost as many as three games
in any one set, and until Mrs.
Chaplin met her last week, the greAs-
