~ AN FRANCISCO, August 49,
Helen Wills Moody today branded
: as perfectly absurd" the sug-
gestion she would jeopardize her
amateur tennis standing by accepting
a 10000 legacy bequeathed to her IN
the will of the late James d. Phelan,
former United States Senator.
The legacy was one of numerous be-
quests revealed when the former Sena-
tors will was filed yesterday, disposing
of an estate estimated at $10,000,OOO.
Immediately the question arose in
tennis circles whether Mrs. Moody,
women's national champion, would en-
danger her amateur status by accepting
the gift, which, the will said, was in
appreciation of her winning the tennis
championship for California"
"It couldn't possibly have anything
to do with my amateur standing, ana
I think the suggestion Is in extremely
bad TASTE" said Mrs. Moody.
II am very sorry that any such con-
troVersy should arise. There should be
nothing said about it whatever. do

Phelan would not have liked 1t.

STOCK IN THE GIANTS

NEW YORK, August Is (P).--Charles
A. Stoneham, president of the New
York Giants, has announced that in
stead of preparing to dispose of his
stock in the National League club he
had increased his holdings.
Following upon announcement. that
]. Henry Mentally had purchased the
stock of William F. Kenny, amounting
to 20 per cent and by other purchases
increased his holdings to approximately
80 per cent. stories persisted that Nc
Nally would seek to gain control.
In a joint statement by Stoneham
and John J. McGraw, manager, de-
clared Mentally could not have pur-
chased the 20 per cent held by Kenny
since Stoneham had purchased from
Francis X. McQuade approximately 10
per cent of the Kenny stock.

CUBS HAVE GREAT
CHANCE FOR GAIN
Two Games Ahead, They
Meet PhiIS as Robins 0p-
pose Tougher Pirates.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON. JR..
Associated Press Sports Writer.

IF the Chicago Cubs are going to win
the National League pennant again
this season, the time is at hand
for them to strike the deciding
blows of the battle. The Cubs are in
a fine position today to settle the mat
ter for once and for all, having scored
a thorough triumph over their closest
rivals, the Brooklyn Robins, by winning
three of the four games of the series
which ended yesterday.
BY virtue of their 4-to-3 victory in
yesterdays 10-inning struggle, which
closed the series, the Cubs are out
ahead by two full games. Today they
open a series with the comparatively
easy PhillieS, with five games ahead
before they tackle the New York Giants
in a series which may become as i'm
portant as the one just ended.
BROOKLYN, meanwhile, moves on to
tackle the somewhat tougher Pitts
burgh Pirates with comparatively few
hopes of regaining the lead in the near
future.
While the two leading contenders
were mauling each other about in Chi
cago, the New York Giants came up
into a position menacing to either one
of them by trouncing the Cincinnati
Reds, to 0, for their fifth victory in
six games. This triumph, made easy
by Carl Hubbell's four-hit pitching and
Bill Terry's timely clouting. left the
Giants only a game and one-hah be-
hind Brooklyn and only ga games be-
hind the Cubs.
With the entire American League
schedule washed out by the rain, it re-
manned for the elder circuit to supply
all the days base ball.
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh divided
a hard-fought double-header. The
Phillies took the first clash, 2 to 5.
Pittsburgh went 10 innings for a 3-to-2
triumph in the second.
The st. Louis Cardinals picked up
their winning streak where Boston
broke it Thursday. defeating the Braves,

TOSCRAMBLEDEGG
Withdrawal of TiIden From
National Would Climax
Many Surprises.
BY J. P. ALLEN.

n Jew YORK, August Is. - As
M the present lawn tennis
y season progresses it re-
Sembles more and more
scrambled-egg orgy. Startling up
sets besprinkle the tournaments
like morning dew upon the turf.
Anything is liable to happen. or
course some of the competitions
are not to be too seriously regard
ed. Such a peerless performer as
Big Bill Tilden is not giving any
thing away, just like candy TO the
babies, in order to encourage
young and budding talent.
Now here is Tilden, right with the
national championships in sight, hav-
ing his old trick knee cut up again.
That was the way it was doing, 1t
NAV be remembered, when he went
against the famous Frenchmen, to lose
his own national championship crown,
as we'll as defeat in the Davis Cup
matches.
Bill linked at Home.
Last week at Southampton, where
Tilden was "chucked in" in manner
which is receiving considerable amount
of attention from the officials of the q.
S. L. T. A., it was Francis X. Shields
who lowered his colors. When one thinks
1t all over it appears inconceivable. TIL
den had won Is out of IA tournaments
upon the Riviera. He had fought his
way throU>% to victory at Wimbledon,
glorious triumph, after nine years of
defeat.
Then the great player returns to his
native land, to be toppled over by one
outside the realms of the top 10. Right
on top of that Clifford Suffer, the 20
year-old boy from Tulane University,
gives Big Bill another surprise at Rye.
1t may be argued that the competition
on the turf courts up in Westchester
has been somewhat messy. Reports fail
to class 1t as a model tournament. For
all that, Tilden had leg on the cup,
and no doubt was ready to score an
other one-when his own leg begins do
ing fancy things.
Suffer No Flash.
1t is impossible to attach any blame
to Suffer for some of the happenings at
Westminster. Suffer has been demon
strating in no uncertain way that he Is
one of the great outstanding discoveries
of the present season. He won the ma
tional intercollegiate title. Then he took
the classic Longwood Bowl In the final,
conquering no less g. conner" than Sid
ney S. Wood, jr, who Is another of the
gay little upsetters.
What officials are wondering is
whether or not Tilden is getting ready
to do the vanishing act on the national
championship tournament. That would,
indeed, be a startling climax to a sea-
son filed to the brim with amazing re-
suits Perhaps that is the explanation
OF what has happened at Rye.
Tilden's attack Of trick knee" coming
so closely upon the sudden withdrawal
of Mrs. Helen Wills Moody from ma
tional championship competition causes
more than mere bewilderment
Throughout the realms of lawn tennis
there has been the expectation for some
time that Tilden would suddenly crack"
and go to pieces. Now it appears that
Tilden's legs, actually one of the great
est assets OF his game, are beginning TO
prove unreliable.
