 With an entry list which in includes practically all of Amer ica's leading tennis stars the 44th annual SeabriSht invitation tour nament opening here to-day. promises the finest competition in recent years.
 The Seabright tourney, once a mecca for international stars, has suffered in recent years through the absence of stars who were in Europe attempting to regain the Davis cup but this year has suc- ceeded in securing an entry list reminiscent of the pro-French Da- wis cup prosperity.
 Frank x. Shields, star Davis cup singles player, has remained in Europe but his teammates, Sid ney B. Wood, George Lott and John Van Ryn now are enroute to this country and are expected to arrive in time to compete in at least the doubles.
 In their absence the mems sin gles list is headed by John Hope Doeg, 1880 United States amateur champion: Ellsworth Vines of Pasadena, Cal, who de- feated Doeg recently in the Long, wood Bowl tourney and Clifford Sutter of New Orleans, who played with the United States Davis cup team in its American zone match es.
 Mrs Helen Wills Moody tops the women entrants but may limit her competition to the doubles. Miss Betty Nuthall of England, 193O Seabright champion, is now in this country and may defend her title with Mrs l.. A. Harper of Oak land, Cal, 1880 ranking American player. and Miss Helen Jacobs ex- pected to be her chief rivals.

 Reached the Top.
 Cochet, who helped win the Da- wis cup from the United States in 1927 and has played an import ant part in maintaining France d, the top of the international ten his heap since that time, scored his greatest personal triumph yes- terday in giving France three match to two victory over Great Britain in the 1881 challenge round.
 The 1881 victory was made pos sible solely by Cochet, who wor both of his singles matches ana teamed with Jacques Brugnon in the doubles to score Frances third victory. Jean BorOtra. the bound. ing basque who has slipped badly in the past 12 months, lost both his singles matches and but foi Cochet, Britain's youthful team would have realized it's am mbition of gaining the prized information al trophy which was last won by Great Britain in 1912.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-07-27

Neither club has clinched hon. ors but with the season nearing the two-thirds mark, the Athletics enjoy an 11-game lead in the lmerican League and the Cardir als top the National league by s games and there appears to be lit- tie prospect of either team being headed.
 The two clubs played the best ball in their respective leagues during the week beginning Mon day, July 20 and ending Sunday July 26, with Philadelphia losing only one of eight starts and the Cardinals winning five of their six games.
 Mccarthy Crew Hitting
 Washington, Philadelphia chief rival in the American league showed signs of cracking under the strain of chasing the Athletics and won only two of it's six games The slump endangered the Sena- tors hold on second place with the New York Yankees, who batted in 68 runs to win six of their eight games advancing to within 2 12 games of the runner-up berth. The St Louis Browns were the only other American league team to finish the week on the winning side of the ledger with two victories and two defeats.
 In the National league the loWly Pittsburgh Pirates tied St Louis mark of five victories and one de- feat and the Chicago Cubs won five out of seven to advance from fourth to second place.
 The New York Giants anG Brooklyn Robins, after keeping pace with St Louis for the past si,. weeks. experienced bad slumps. New York broke even in six games with St Louis and Cincinnati while Brooklyn won only three of it's ten games with Chicago, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati and fell from sec ond to fourth place.
 Some of the Leaders
 New York had the best offensive record in the American league with 68 runs in eight games and Pittsburgh topped the National league with 45 runs in six contests, while the Philadelphia Phillies es tablished the unenviable record oi scoring only four runs in four games to close the week with no victories and four defeats. Amer ican League clubs batted in to- tai of 335 runs in 3 games while National league pitchers allowed only 206 runs in 26 games.
