 United Press Staff Correspondent.
 New York, Aug 16.-UP)-The United States Lawn Tennis asso- ciation, or rather, certain ma jor of- ficials of that august body, are rapidly, and with much gusto, souring on Mrs Helen Wills Moody | and what they consider her rather high handed tactics.
 Tn fact, your alert correspondent learned at Forest Hills that there is a good chance that the U. s. L.. T. A. will refuse to send Queen Helen abroad again. This, of course, depends upon whether or not the aggrieved officials gain enough support.
 Tho grudge against Mrs Moody is based, it seems, on her apparent indifference toward the national championships. She wins the title, and then refuses to defend it.. She passed up the. tournament in |1930, and right now, with the thing in full swing, is not closer than the Rue De La Paix.
 Such business, certain officials argue, is nothing more than down. right ingratitude. If the associa- ton is nice enough to dig down into its pocket for the money to send Mrs Moody to Europe, they argue, why shouldn't she be nice enough to come back and take part in the blue-ribbon American event ? If the officials in question have their way. the association, in the future, will send Mrs Moody to Eu- rope only on the provision that she get back in time to join the field at Forest Hills.
 And if you had seen the gallery that watched the opening day of the 45th annual tournament yester- day, you would understand why Mrs Moody's presence is so earn estly desired. When Miss Mar jorie Lemming of Vancouver. and Miss Anne Page of Pennsylvania, took the center court for the open ing match, you could have placed all the customers in the rumble seat of a kiddie kar and still nave i, plenty of room for two fair-sized suitcases.
 By 4:3O in the afternoon the crowd had swelled to the magni- ficent number of 137. We say l31 because we counted them. And that included the ushers. Why. the stadium, which was built for fourteen or fifteen thousand, was so deserted the players had to talk to themselves toNkeep from getting lonesome.
 Now, with Mrs Moody in the field, there would have been a couple of thousand customers. at least. Maybe more. For the Cali fornian Is the champion. and how the boys and girls of this and all all other sections of these United States go for the champion. The fact that Mrs Moody would breeze through the tournament. slaugh- tering 'em right and. left without the loss of a set, would make no difference. They'd much rather see her dust off Miss Gussle High- tower from Little Falls. Minn, GO.
 GO. than see Miss Jonn Ridley of Great Britain and Miss sarah Pal
 frey of Boston. say. fight it out to n 1i-D. i5-f7. 43-4i decision.
 In short. they'd rnther see Q
 name than q game.

EARLY SCORING
 ENABLES DODGERS BEAT PITTSBURGH
Careymen Score II too Victory Registering All Tallies in First Two Inn- ings Cutting Pirates Lead

Pittsburg, Aug. Jeff the Dodg1 6rs finish this present western trip as we'll as they started 1t yesterday afternoon. they can start preparing for a world series in Flatbush di- rectly. Expecting tough tussle with the Pirates. the Dodgers tos- sed a surprise into the fans here 'and perhaps themselves by assault ing Heinie Meine for nine runs in the first innin.-, and winning as easy a game as they have bagged all season.
 This II to G victory over the Buccaneers, when the rest of the teams in the league were enjoying a day off, produced some interest ing figures. The effervescent Dod- gers gained a half game on the Cubs and are now only game and a half behind the lead. They also picked up a full game on Pittsburg and last evening were resting oD their arms half game out of second place. Moreover, 1t was their twentieth triumph in their last ewenty-five games, and repre- sented what they fondly hope will be the start of a fresh winning streak. The score:

Advance Ideas

Down at little Temple University in Philly, the graduate manager of athletics is trying to put through a two sport" .icea which may or may not turn out to be real im- portant. That is, he is trying to have the athletic council limit ''star" athletes to two sports, to make room for others who would have a chance to develop under such conditions rather than hayinB to compete with a star in another sport whose reputation keeps him on the varsity when he plays one game far less efficiently than ne does another, yet manage to get his letter in both. It's along the ''athletics for aii' plan at Yale, and Is commendable, besides con- tainlng the possibility of develop ing many more indivEiual stars than under present conditions.

Irresistible Forces vs
 |InlmOvable Objects

Thursday night ofithis week, the City Amateur league and the Wa terbury Baseball Federation will stage rival games at Hamilton and Fulton Parks. With the objective in mind of securing a little money to help them finish out the season. it seems too bad that the officials of both organizations could not get together 50 that the games would not conflict. At a meeting of City League managers Hast night, q playoff game was wscheduled for Thursday, despite the fact that one Of the City League teams was to play the Meriden Tabs the same night for the benefit of the Water bury Federation. The only result of such arrangement is loss of what little revenue could be expect ed. dissatisfied fans and bad feel ing in general. It's kid stuff.

When Danny Taylor wore Wrigley uniform and chewcd Wriglcy gum, he made q strong bid for the Chicago Cub Outfic.d, but was eventually cascd out to the International league by ROg- CTS HOrnsby, and immediately thereafter grabbed by Brooklyn. That he has justified himself as a big league bali player has been proven ever since he began play ing steadily in FIatbush, his bat ting yesterday being in line with what Inc has been doing for some time. His release from the Cubs was a break for Johnny Moore, yet both seemed to have prOfitcd by the change in TaylQr's status.

 Six of the eight games on Tenn p1e's 1882 schedule will be played at night. The Owls like their frolics at night.

RumbIes From lROckledge
8, JOHN A. ycLuNEE

 at that for people who can't seer. to get any of that fatty tissue away from them, despite saltine pro- grams, handball, or what have you. After galloping, from one hole to another, in order to see a partcu- larly brought star of the golf world shine at s o'clock in the afternoon one is more than ready for that big potato upon arrival at the fam. ily hearth. So 1t was yesterday al West Hartford, as Gene Sarazen and Bobby Grant teamed against Dave Campbell and Dom Soccoh.
 The match was about as even as Bunker Hill. Saraxcn, Ameri- can and British tltlchO.der this season had as his partner, tho young, good-IoOking and very able Wcthcrsflcld amateur star. holder of the New England and Connecticut gOlf championships. MT Robert would easily pass for movie celebrity in pinch. And did the girls get thrill follow ing him around? I'll say they did. As far as they were concerned Sarazcn might just as well have been a jai alai player.
 Not only the girls, but most of those present who understand any thing about the game gave Grant a great big hand time and again As he wound up with par 72r young Robert took Sarazen and the rest of the foursome like his illus trious ancestor took Richmond! Ali the end of the first five holes, Grant had three birdies to his credit. while the great Gene, who recently failed to qualify for the P. G. A. meet next month at St Paul was missing butts that even you would have made.
 At the end of the first seven holes, SaraZen and Grant had Campbell and SoccOli six down! steadily, hut had hard luck on the greens, while SOccOllk the New Britain champ, had all sorts of trouble, chiefly tbat of keep. ing his ball to the direction he played it. Sarazcn played matter of fact, and got quite little kick out of his partners putting, while playing moro or less list. lcssIy himself. Those exhibitions seem tiring, even though he must make them on the strength of a $25O, 900 contract for two year period which he signed a month or so ago.
 Campbell Arriving off the fourth tee. almost scored hole in one Cow. His ball hooked over low fence where a few cows were con- tentedly grazing and just missed pretty black and white spotted Jersey. After which he hit his next one straight down the middle.
 Coming down the 538 yard ninth hole, Grant was almost ruined with big round eight. Sarazen and Campbell took fves and SoccOli n six. Net, with that 48, Grant wound up with par 72, showing that birdies do come in handy, especially when one gets four or five of them in a single round.
 Sarazen and Socoli against Grant and Campbell would have made a much better match, for Grant real ly 'stole the show' from start to finish, and had the crowd with him from the go. Even physically, the match would have been perfect, for Sarazen and Soccoli two swarthy, short stock men would be playing couple of tall, angular lads. Such a match would give long and short spectators a chance to see how good players of their stature do 1t. But why fuss? It's all over. including the shoutings.
