stole second. He scored from there on Boyds single to left center. It was Boyd's third successive hit. Andy flied out to Little Mac in right for the third hand down.
 Manning held the Bills scora- less and to a lone hit in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. In the first of the sixth, Boyd went out, Garn to Haines. An drews blasted one of Erskine's groove balls into the tall timber beyond the score board back Of center and trotted around the bases to home, tying the count.
 Error Paves Way
 After being the hero, the big Vet first sacker promptly tumbled off his pedestal into the goat class. Big Mac led off with a turf-skimmer over first base An dy camped in front of the ball and then let it get past him and Mac didn't stop until he got to second base. Jernberg singled to right. Rustad beat Worth to the ball and threw Jernberg out at second when he tried to stretch the hit. Mac roasted on third. Haines singled to right to score him and end the game.

IT'S HIS RACKET

Lacoste was at the peak when the French won in 1927 for the first time Cochet was the next to become Q world champion. After Lacoste's health failed and he was forced to quit, Borotra staged a great comeback and alone can be credited with enabling France to score six straight victories before losing the trophy.
 Controversy and even some ami mosities have clustered about Til- den's tennis career, but I still think he knows more about inter national tennis and is perhaps best equipped, from the competitive standpoint, of any American to reform our Davis cup ranks and guide the challengers in 1884.
 Big Bill knows the complexities of competition on both sides of the Atlantic He's yet to be surpassed as a strategist on the courts. He may not be a business man or a traffic manager, but I think he could get better results with our player resources than anyone else has achieved so far.

 GETS ANOTHER TITLE

DALLAS Tex, Aug. 26.-Fran- ciS McGonagill, last of Dallas "big three" youthful golf stars to win recognition, has come into his own by capturing the Texas Profession al Golfers Association title
 A few years ago McGonagill, Gus Moreland and Ralph Guldahl star red in high school golf circles here. Moreland remained in the amateur ranks to win Trans-Miss- issippi titles, Western crown and place on American Walker cup teams. Guldahl, now profess sional at the St. Louis country club, finished second in the 1883 National open, one stroke behind Johnny Goodman.

The Davis Cup tennis wars are over for another year, with their dramatics and exciting moments, their master -minding and second- guessing, but the words of the old campaigner still point the way for the future, though they were first uttered to me two years ago when the British made their first charge into the Challenge Round, and repeated this spring.
 Experience" said William T. Tilden IT., lis more than half the battle in playing abroad. Look at the records. Of the example of the French themselves They pick ed their men, Borotra, Lacoste, Co., chet and Bruggon. Then they sent them over here every year until they finally crashed through at Germantown. They kept at it for six years before they beat up and then sticking to the same policy, look how long they held on to the big bowl and platter before slip ping.
 ''The British were smart enough to use similar methods. They haven't shifted around the way the United States has, trying out one group of players for one or two years, then discarding them for another set of young and mex perienced fellows. Perry and Aus tin carried on, benefited by ex- perience, and were given every chance to come through without changes in policies and tactics.
 The only way in which the United States ever will win back the Davis cup is by selecting three or four men to concentrate on the job If one or more of the play CTS selected fail to measure up af- ter sufficient trial, then substitu tions should, of course, be made"

to the top, but he feels that, re- garless of the results this year, the same group of players should be kept together and tossed right back into the battle in 1884, ra- ther than being hauled over the coals and discarded simply because they were licked
 Tilden can look back on his personal exploits in Davis cup competition in company with Little Bill Johnston, with the satiSfac- tion of realizing no other com bination has ever been so success full over so prolonged a stretch of competition.
 The two Bills took care of all five matches when they brought the Davis cup back from Australia in 1920 They kept it at home for seven years in row, with a little help from Vincent Richards Dick Williams and Watson Wash burn. In only one year, when Richards substituted for Johnston in the singles, was there any change in the individual responsi- bility placed on the two aces of American tennis.
 More fortunate in respect to their top ranking group, the French were able to rotate Rene Lacoste, Jean Borotra and Henri Cochet in the singles, with Jacques Brugnon doing doubles duty, ac- cording to their circumstances and condition.

ELKS WIN FROM VETS AND KNOT
 SERIES C0UN I
Bills Nose Out , to 4 in Final Frame, Tying BIB.
 Series at One Game All

Scoring the winning run in the seventh and final frame, the Elks last night won from the Ameri- can Legion, 5 to 4, and evened the Little Worlds Series, each team having won one game each. Man ming and Erskine both hurled good ball and with better support the former would have won.
 Five errors behind him figured extensively in the Elks' scoring, as but two of their five tallies were earned. First Baseman Andrews of the Vets, after tying the score in the sixth with a home run into the tall timber, was the goat in the seventh. letting a grounder get through him that paved the way for the winning score.
 Both pitchers were hit rather freely. The Vets collected 10 safe ties eff Erskine, including An drews' homer, and the Bills nick ed Manning for nine, all singles. Each walked one batter. Man ming famed four and Erskine five. So hurling honors were al- most even.
 The Elks showed two runs across in the first two innings to get a two-run lead, only to have it wiped out in the third when the Warriors chalked up two counters. The Bills came back in their half of the same inning to score twice and regain their two-run margin. The Vets sliced one run off that in the fourth and tied the count in the sixth only to see it popped away in the seventh with only one man down.
 How It Happened
 M. MacSpadden, leadoff man for the Bills, drew pass to start the game and advanced to second while Manning threw Big Mac out at first. He scored on Haines long single to left.
 In the second frame, slow field ing gave the Bills another tally Garn beat out slow roller down third-base line After Manning set down Erskine and Nello on strikes, Garn stole second. Blake singled to right and while Worth held the ball Garn rounded third and beat the delayed throw to the plate to score standing up.
 The Vets tied the count in the third. Rustad opened it with a clean single to left. He was forced at second by Aliens roller to short, but Cecil was safe at first. Boyd smashed a hard shot past short to left center. Nello booted the ball and Allen raced to third and Bob to second. Andy famed. Manning singled to right to score both Allen and Boyd. Roller walked, but Niemi's best effort was n pop foul into Livingston's hands.
 The Bills promptly forged ahead apain in their half by scoring two more runs. Big Mac went out, Rustad to Andrews and Jernberg famed. Haines hopped one to Junge who missed the bill. Roller took it right behind him and heaved the ball to the fence over Andrews head, making two errors on the same hit. Livingston SCOT ed Haines with a single to right. Garn duplicated and Curley raced to third from where he scored on Erskine's drive to short left. Nel- 10 popped out to Roller to end the inning.

The Pirates had won the first
game of a double-header in the
tenth inning, 6 to S, but when
this left-handed Birkhofer opened
the second game the New York
ers climbed all over him with a.
barrage that netted five runs.
The sad affair finally ended in a
9-to-1 victory for the Giants.
So today Pittsburgh simply had
to join the Boston Braves as a
team good but not god enough,
with the Giants still six and a
half games in the lead.
Hits to Center
Swift, Pirate hurler, ended the
first battle with hit to center,
scoring Vaughan, who opened the
tenth with his third blow of the
fray. In the finale Hal Schu-
macher was as good for the Giants
as Birkhofer, Chagnon, Harris and
Swift were bad for the Pirates.
Chicago's Cabs defeated Boston
4 to 3 with Bud Thinning blanking
the Braves until the ninth inning.
The Bostonians had the tying run
on second base, but Hal Lee fouled
out.
st. Louis downed the Phillies
twice, 3 to / and 8 to 7. Chuck
Klein smacked homer No. 26 off
Hallahan in the opener to take the
lead in the National League home

Phils were powerless. The Caro-
,, nails came from the rear in the
yesper in a four-run rally in the
ninth, featured by Martins
homer.
Brooklyn and Cincinnati con-
tinued nowhere in particular oy
splitting a twin bill. Mungo was
effective in the first game and re-
turned the Dodgers a 7-to-3 trl-
umph, but Benge and three other
Brooklyn hurlers were the victims
of a terrific bombardment in the
nightcap, as the Reds grabbed Il
hits and pushed it off, 1S to 8.

CRON|N GAMBLE
On NJ COLL
JUSTIFIED

Two interesting events occurred
out at Mr.. Clark Griffith's bali
wick yesterday which happened
to result in the most pleasant of
surprises.
First Manager Cronin gam
bled with his rookie-veteran, Alec
McColl, and won with plenty to
spare, while. second, the Griffs
knocked out an old jinx-Walter
Miller-to defeat the White Sox,
3 to /, in a game which ushered
in their final home stand of the
season with hey, nonay nonnay
and a hot cha-cha
McColl's success was, of course,
the highlight of the day. And
especially after the records reveal
the veteran held the SoX to not
only one run in nine innings, but
just four hts!
Wild at Times
Alec, all told, had the Sox eat
ing out his hand yesterday. Al
though wild at times, he always
had enough in reserve to halt
his foes when they became too
dangerous with their fails up
there at the plate.
In the sixth, for example, he
showed his best mettle. The
Sox scored their only run of the
contest in this frame, and .all
because they were able to bunch
their hits for the first time
during the afternoon.
The marker was pushed across
after Dykes had opened the in
ming with a groundQr to Cronin.
Simmons singled, Kress walked
and Hayes singled-sharply to
center. Here, the Fonseca team
had a chance to put the finish
ing act on McColl, but he
wouldn't give in as he pitched so
smartly to Berry that the catcher
let third strike pass by him
for what turned out to be the
third out.
From this time on, McColl was
quite all right-that is until the
ninth. In this frame he was
helped out of what could have
been a dangerous hole, by fast
double-play, Cronin to Myer to
Kuhel, on Berry'S grounder'
which retired the side. kreSS
opened the inning with a single,
only to be forced a moment later
on Pinch Hitter Webb's bounder
to Cronin.
Griffs Fill Bases
Well, so much for McColl. The
Griffs filled the bases off Lefty
walter Miller as early as the first
inning after Myer had famed,
but Miller got out of the hole
when Schultz drove into a double
play, Appling to Hayes to KreSs:
Mr.. Miller was chased and chased
plenty in the next frame, how
ever, when Kuhel and Bluege
singled, McColl doubled and Man
ush did the same thing.
Three runs were totaled-all
the Griffs were able to gather for
the day-but they proved enough
as McColl's excellent effort tells.
Red Faber relieved Miller in this
fatal second inning and pro-
ceeded to pitch shut-out ball until
the seventh when he was with
drawn for pinch batsman.
Whitley Wyatt finished out the
string and he also held the Griffs
scoreless during the lone inning
in which he figured on the mound
the eighth.
The victory for McColl was his
first as a big Lacquer. 1t marked
his third appearance on the
mound as a Griffman. His other
efforts were against the Indians
in Cleveland, when he acted as a
rescue man

You're bound to see a good

East-West Series
It. will be Washington against
the West, a little EaSt-West series
of our own, with Shore and Stau-
bly, upholding the honor of Wash.
ington against the Colorado and
California stars.
This will be in the nature Of a
swan song for Frank Shore, the
lanky Justice Department player,
aS he will soon pack up his rae
quets and go to the University OF
North Carolina.
Shore successfully hurdled a
real obstacle yesterday in the per-
son of Bill Seidel (Treasury), who
had taken the first set from him
Tuesday and was leading in the
second 80 when darkness over
took them. Bill and Frank had
agreed beforehand to replay any
sets which had to be called be-
cause of darkness. With fresh
start yesterday, Shore won the
match, TO, 60, GO, and will
meet McElvenny, who beat him at
Washington Grove, Md, earlier in
the week.
Staubly Rallies
Staubly seemed stronger at the
conclusion of his match with
Harry Goldsmith (Patents) than
at the start.
He took the match 8-6, 6-8.
60, and is all set for Blade,
who earned his reputation in
1881, when he captained the
University of California net team.
Crowley and Allen are to fin
1Sh their match with Goldsmith
and Wallenstein, in which they
were leading 81, 6-3, 5-3,

McElvenny Sunday at $3.50 p. m.
In the Women's Tennis League
tournament yesterday Bobsy
Turney defeated Margaret Gra-
ham in the second round, 8-6,
11-9.
The Washington times., 1933-09-07

Yesterday they made it just
that much more of certainty by
getting off to a winning start
against the Chicago White Sox-
their first Western foe in the line
up of Western clubs to appear
here. The Sox gave Cronin and
his gang quite battle, but
through the fine efforts of Alec
McColl, rookie-veteran, the Windy
City team was Subdued in a game
which ended with 3-to-1 score.
Now the Griffs are figuring
again just how many more games
they must win to clinch honors.
Fifteen is the total today, this
arithmetic picturing the Yanks'
chances of playing that 300 per
cent ball they must play in order
to overhaul Cronin and his gang
for the top rung.
Sox Smoother
The White Sox presented a
much smoother front than when
the GriffS met them in Chicago
last month. The team has been
getting a much improved brand
of pitching lately (eXcluding Mil
ler's poor effort yesterday and
it has reacted wonderfully wit I
the remainder of the players, who
will play an entirely different style
of baseball, y'know, when the hurl-
ing is "just right"
But even though the Sox
pitchers have been going a little
stronger Of late, the Griffs are
not worrying too much about the
outcome of the games during the
remainder Of the current series,
especially with Weaver, Crowder.
Whitehill and Stewart ready to
take their regular turns again. The
first named was expected to get
the call today.
McColl took the SoX in order
in the first, tossing out Swanson
himself and watching Haas and
Dykes ground 70 Myer and Bluege,
respectively.
Cronin made a sensational stop
and throw to retire Simmons,
starting the second. The youth
full manager went to deep short
for AIs grasser, stopped it with
his glove back to the ball, then
threw in time for close putout
at first. It was one of those plays
you seldom see.
Get Miller in Second
The Griffs really jumped on
Miller in the second, in fact, drove
him out of the box in favor of the
veteran Red Faber. Bluege and
Kuhel singled, McColl doubled
and Manush doubled for three
runs. Faber quickly retired the
side.
McColl got himself out of a
precarious hole in the Sox third.
He walked Berry, struck out Fa-
ber, gave up a single to Swanson,
threw that player out on Haas
grounder to the box, then walked
Dykes to fill the bases. But the
best Simmons could do was to lift
a high fly to Harris, which, of
course, got Alec out of the most
embarrassing situation he's been
in since joining the Griffmen.
The game developed into a bat
tie between real veterans after
Faber's entrance into the picture.
Faber was pitching with plenty of
big league experience behind him,
while McColl was throwing 'em
with years and years of minor
league background to stand him
in good stead. This made it quite
interesting to say the least.
