DUSEK PL A n 8
FOR LONDOS

Rudy Dusek, the spunky wrest-
ler, has mapped his plan of bat
tie for the meeting with Cham
pion Jimmy Londos next Friday
night at the Clark Griffith sta
dium. 1t is the second encounter
between the pair here. LondoS hav'

miX-up.
Dusek learned a lot from that
first meeting and he also OBJ
served Londos in his bout with
Ray Steele in the Yankee Sta

the NebraSkan made mental notes
of Londos' style and is now better
qualified for his match with the
Greek here.
He made one mistake in his
last match with LOndOS, climb

BROOKLYN FANS
CHASE UNP

They take their baseball Seri-
ously in Brooklyn and it all
came about after the Robin fans,
$4,000 of them, said they saw
Umpire Ernest Quigley rob the
Flatbush team of a possible vic !
tory over Boston. The score was
4 to 3 in favor of Boston, when
Thurston, the pitcher, opened for
Brooklyn in the twelfth inning
with a single, got to second on q
sacrifice and came home with
the run that would have tied on
a single by Bressler. Catcher
Spohrer was lying on his back
right over the plate and Thurston
shot his legs under him. Quigley
called Thurston out and then
came the drama. How those old
fashioned Brooklyn fans did boo
and they chased Quigley right
out of the park.
Police at last had to see him
home, with those $4,000 fans
yapping at their heels.
But Brooklyn lost, despite all
the yelling, to 8. and the fact
that the Robins took the opener,
7 to 4, didn't seem to cheer up
anyone.
Two home runs by Hogan
paved the way for the GalntS
1876 first game triumph over the
Phillies and they took the second
9-to-4. with timely hitting behind
effective mound work from FttZ'

the Giants four games behind

MATCH
BY GINO SINH

A wellbalanced card is offered
In the Public Parks Tennis Tourn-
ament at the Rock Greek courts
today in both the mems and wo-
mems divisions.
The scuffle between hard-driv-
eng Clara Tabler and calmer-
etroking Frances Walker is the
headliner Of the day. Miss Tab
Ter, who learned her tennis on the
Pacific Coast, came to Washing
bon from Baltimore this spring.
She got to the semi-finals Of the
City Of Washington tournament.
Miss Walker reached the final
round of that tournament where
she lost to Ruth Martinez.

match.
Herman Is Tough
Among the men only Dooly
Mitchell, defending champion,
has q wide edge over his
opponent, Larry Phillips. Barney
welsh, the Rockville young
phenom, will find Gene Herman
plenty stubborn, and Hickey
Willis. runner-up for the District
Junior title, will make Hugh Trigg
step.
Pat Deck, lanky Public Parks
factOtum, will make plenty OF
trouble for Maurice O'Neill.
, Pat can play a pretty respect
able brand of tennis when pro-
perly inspired. He proved it
yesterday when he brushed Gill
bert Hunt, District boys cham
pior1, out of the way, 81, 60.
Hunt isn't any set-up for any
body.
Bill Seidel and Federico Sendel
should put up a pretty snappy
affray. These two are ideally
matched physically and in tenn
permanent and play almost
/. similar game.
Another close one is Frank
Shore, Muscoe Garnett melee.
Garnett jumped into the calcium
a week ago when he plastered
Deane Judd in the District event,
and Shore is none too steady this
year.

Eddie Yeomans is the forty

Yeomans won 90, IS, 81 by
