STAR
WINS IN
4 SETS
BY MICHAEL WILSON

ROLAND GARROs STADIUM,
France. July 24.-Henri Cochet,
veteran French tennis star, drew
first blood for France today in
her defense of the Davis Cup,
emblem of world tennis su-
premacy. by defeating H. w.
Bunny Austin, of Great Britain,
in a hard-fought. four-set macth.
The score: 3-6, 1l-9, 60,
Ga.
Cochet, the conqueror of Til
den, appeared to have trouble
getting started. Cochet opened
the service with a double fault,
but captured the first game.
Austin Takes Set
Austin hit his stride in the
fifth when he began to show
superiority with ground shots and
placements. Cochet frequently
netted his shots. or hit out.
Austin took the set, 6-3.
1He SeCOHu SCI was d uAlS-
dong affair, game going with
service until Austin finally tired
of the long struggle and lost
some of his fine control, per-
mitting Cochet to take the set,
11-9.
The Frenchman romped off
with the last two sets despite
Austin's desperate attempts to
rally. Cochet had found his
stride and functioned as tire
lessly as a machine.
Jean Borotra, the Bounding
BASQUE started the second
singles match we'll for France by
taking the first set from Fred
Perry. England, "a.
Borotra's play was featured by
brilliant placement shots, while
Perry frequently hit out.

"It was not only up in the
stands near the press box that
you could hear, Same old
Goose but right near the
writer-by wOuld-be fans who
come out every day.
"When Goose came here this
year on June IA, he had made
an excellent record against the
Philadelphia pitchers, getting
10 hits out of IA times at bat,
and he practically had been
responsible for beating the AS
two games single-handed.
"The treatment given him
during the first St. Louis series
here was disgraceful and un-
called for.
"The year that "GOOse" did
not hit 800 1929, Lou Gehrig,
for New York, sIumped over
80 points in his batting average
and am confident when / say
that New YOrk's fans did not
treat Gehrig as Goose" was
treated here.
Being a great admirer of
"GOose" Goslin may 1 again
congratulate your courage in
writing in his defense"
Thank you dear lady, and
we make a low, sweeping bow.

NEW YORK. July 24.-With
the smiling Betty Nuthall in the
van, England's Wightman Cup
team, starting it's biennial inva-
sion Of the United States, was to
arrive on board the steamship
Aquitania today.
Mrs. Shepherd-Barro who gave
Helen Wills Moody such battle
in the national championships

British invaders. Mrs. Eileen

The English women will go
Immediately to Forest Hills,
where they will start practice
tomorrow on the grass courts
of the West Side Tennis Club
in preparation for the intcrna-
tiOnal matches at Forest Hills
on August and 8.
Mrs. Shepherd-Barror has not
decided upon the lineup which
England will use against the
United States. 1t is probable that
Miss Nuthall and Mrs. Whiting
stall will be the first two singles
players, with either Miss Round
or Miss Mudford occupying third
place. Mrs. Shepherd-Barron will
confine her activities to playing
in the doubles.

The Washington times., 1931-07-24

That young man is Sammy
West, rated by many experts as
the peer of center fielders of the
present big league decade.
Sam Is All Smiles
Sammy was made to smile be-
fore yesterdays second game with
the st. Louis Browns when Man
ager Johnson had this to say to
him:
Sam, you're back in the fifth
hole today. Let's see some hits"
This little statement meant that
West had been shifted from
lead-off man in the batting order,
back to his accustomed position
as fifth man in the order.
Helps His Hitting
Recently Manager johnson
nominated West as the lead-off
man when he benched Buddy
Myer. second baseman, because of
his light hitting.
But Myer was back in the game
yesterday. which meant change
in the hitting order of things.
Thus, Johnson's statement to
West.
West likes the fifth hole"
better than the first. It helps
him to become a better hitter
because it gives him the Op-
portunity to slug more often
where he would have to "wait
out" the pitchers as the lead
off man, in accordance with
the usual custom.
West, for several seasons, has
worked hard to become a real hit
ter. Much of his success has
come from being in the slugging
, end of the batting order-the sec
ton where the performers hits
make their presence when men
are on the bases.
More At Ease
Sammy didn't mind tackling
the lead-off job when handed it
by Manager Johnson, but his
smiles were ever explanatory
when his boss told him before
yesterdays game that he was
back in the fifth hole"
I'm glad Walter shifted me
back to fifth place in the or
der" is what Sammy had 90
say about it yesterday. l really
don't mind the Iead-Off post. but
I've gotten so adjusted to fifth
place that I'm more at ease
there"

A bitter legal struggle involving

The State will attempt to prove
that Hathaway strangled Miss
