JOCKEY FLEES
HAWTHORNE

CHICAGO, Aug. 18.-Haw
thorne Race Track officials today
investigated reports that David
Bryant, jockey, had been
beaten and threatened by hood
lums trying to put over a betting
coup.
Bryant had eight mounts in
the first two weeks racing here
and won twice, both of them on
Givanna. a 2-year-old filly owned
by j. w. Marchbank, California
breeder. Yesterday when Civ
anna, the favorite, was left at
the post, another jockey was rid
ing her and Bryant was said to
have fled to his Kentucky home.
A week ago today, Givanna
won at odds of Z to l, after
gangsters had wagered a large
sum on At Sunrise. After the
race, its was reported, Bryant
was slugged in his hotel and
told to get out of town.
Joseph A. Murphy, presiding
steward at Hawthorne, said they
had learned that Jockey Bryant
had tipped his friends to get on
At Sunrise and they might have
been angered when the horse he
was riding came on to beat the
horse he had told them to sup
port.
At Louisville, KY, relatives of
Bryant said he told them his
victory on Givanna had smashed
a 100000 betting coup planned on

MAY EXTEND
HELEN

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Aug. 18
Old Man Opportunity will have
to get himself a new set of
knuckles after this week's ma
tional women's championships at
Forest Hills are compelled.
The Old Man is working over.
time at the ladies' tournament,
knocking at the doors Of humble
and proud alike. Obscure players
who have never even ,een their
names in the headlines are being
offered chances to climb into the
charmed circle of the stars whom
the U. S. L. T. A. annually honors
with ranking. And veterans
who have basked long in the lime
light are being afforded opportu-
mites to boost their high rank
ings still higher.
Among the latter is Mary Greet
grim-visaged Kansas City star.
There isn't a chance in a hun.
dred of anybody's beating Mrs.
Helen Wills Moody for the cham
pionship, but a good showing
against the great Moody would
count heavily in favor of the
fortunate player who could ex-
tend Queen Helen. Hnd just
such an opportunity is presented
Miss Greet this afternoon, when
she opposes the champion in the
second round.
II No. 9 Now
The Kansas City sirl is es-
conced on the No. 9 rung of the
national tennis ladder right now.
Like Caeser, she is ambitious. A
post two or three places. higher
is Miss Greef's 1881 goal, and she
is determined to win her way up
at the expense of the great
Moody.
No American player has been
able to force more than two or
three games from Queen Helen
in several years, with the lone
exception of Mrs. Marion Tin
derStein JeSSup, who jimmied
seven games from the worlds
champion at Seabright recently.
If Miss Greet duplicates Mrs.
Jessup's feat, you can look for
the name of the, Kansas City
girl at least two notches higher
among the first ten.
Miss Greet can extend Mrs.
Moody. She has the game to
do it. Whether she will or not,
and give Old Man Opportunity
some slight reward for all that
skin lost off his knuckles, re-
mains to be seen.
Dot Andrus. Stamford's hard
heiress, who ranks only
% now, but whose clean sweep
at Longwood has already as
sured her of a much higher
listing for 1881, is another vet
eran who can do some climbing.
Miss Andrus battles Mrs. Elsie
Goldsack Pittman, of England,
the recently crowned Eastern
champion, in the second round.

Sailor Landers, Norfolk slugger
pounded out a decision over him
in the main go at Fort Washing
ton last night.
Landers' only thought through
out the bout was a desire to
drive his fists into Frankie'S face
and body.
De Angelo tried bravely to box
the Norfolk tar, but the seaman's
persistent punch-slinging from all
angles forced Frankie to slug
with him, game at which
Landers' stiffer wallops gave him
the edge.
De Angelo kept coming in for
more no matter how hard and
fast they came. but Landers'
continuous drum.fire earned
him a clear decision.
Harry Grove made it all-even
between Washington and Norfolk
when he scored a decision over
Pepper Young, after a Snappy

AGAINST
BROWNS
By GARRETT WATERS,
Times staff Correspondent

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 1s.-The
Griffmen are a hitting team at
times. This st. Louis series for
instance brings out the fact, as
in the three games to date
Manager Johnson's men have
bingled to the tune of 325-a
nice average from any angle.
All told Uncle Clark Griffith's
collection of paid performers
have collected 80 hits here in
100 trips to the plate in this
series, which figured out in the
usual way, brings out the 1926
average.
The Griffs began to smote the
apple in the first game here last
Saturday as the Browns will
testify. They collected IL hits in
the nine-inning battle which en-
sued, and which saw Bobby Burke
and Bump Hadley outpitch Lefty
Stewart, of the Brown, for the
3-to-2 victory.
Then came Sundays double
header. In the first encounter
said Griffmen banged out IL
safeties for their 5-tO-3 triumph,
while in the second contest, NO
less than 16 singles went hither
and yOn in the compilation Of
an S.tO-6 victory.
Hitting like this brings out an
old contention of Uncle Clark
Griffith, who has said many times,
~Give my team the pitching, and
there'd be no other team in first
place today but Washington, as
they can hit"
To those of you who might not
find that statement so clear,
Griff means that his team has
been strong enough all year in
the hitting and fielding depart
ment, but it has been the weak
pitching that has kept his boys
out of first place.
There's an odd thing about the
Griffmen. When the pitchers
pitch, the hitters hit. And when
the pitchers fail. the hitting fails.
The work of the team in the
recent Chicago series offers an
illustration. Against the White
Sox the hitting was very weak
because the pitching was the
same. But here against the
Browns. both have Travelled hand
in hand, and the three victories
are to show as result.
The Griffmen, incidentally,
play the Browns in the final
game of the current series today.
Yesterday the boys enjoyed day
Of respite and are all popped UP
over leaving this city with
series sweep under their belts.
Manager Johnson has decided
to give Sad Sam Jones another
chance to get into the win
ming column today. Sad Sam
was in fine fettle his last time
out, which was against the
SOx, and because of this, Man
ager Johnson is ready to
gamble on him again.
Sam. incidentally, has not won
a game since July %, when he
defeated the Cleveland Indians at
Griffith Stadium. But he has
nursed himself along since that
time. and in reality, is feeling in
the best fettle now than at any
other time this season. He opines
that he'll not fail Manager john
son in that individuals aim to
make it four straight over the
Browns.
The Griffs have won more
games than they have lost on this
trip, by the way. Their record
reads four won against three lost,
for an average of .57l. They
hope to make their average for
the trip soar over the 600 mark
after today. A win will do just
that.

The Washington, D. C. Typos

ST. Paul, 5-3, in the first round
Of play.
Simons. pitching for Washing
ton, allowed the Twin Cities
team three runs in the first in

His own team, meanwhile,
taIlying twice in the second

fourth, and finally came
through in the eighth with q

and gave the Washington team
the winning edge.
Both pitchers twirled excellent

But is ne?
How many localities have cast
a critical glim on the work of one
Travis Jackson, the chap who
patrols the short pasture for the
Giants?
It won't be a poor piece of rea-
soning to thoroughly examine
that gentleman's record, before
you give our Joe the duke. Joe is
great, make no. mistake about
that, and the Bambino will think
long and earnestly when it comes
to picking somebody else. But
Jackson is no Slouch,
Currently the Giant has an
edge on Jumping Joe by virtue
of a slightly better fielding
record, while he is batting toe
to toe with good, old Joe.
But in runs batted in, Cronin
has big edge, 1O2 to Travis 81
Also Joe has driven in 81 extra
base hits, while Jackson has been
able to lift the ball for plural
bases only 90 times.
Joes fielding leaves something
to be desired, when compared
with McGraw's veteran ace. Some
