 New York. Aug 29--Being noth- ing more important than a few unimportant personal opinions:
 Mrs Helen Wills Moody will not retire from competition until she has one more. crack at Helen Ja- cops. and a 60, 60 victory would please her more than having one of her paintings hung in the Louvre.
 Polo playes, with the possible ex- ception of the men of hockey, are the toughest and gamest of ath- letes.
 Gene Sarazen has the greatest prominent sports figure. He has a things that arouse controversies, with himself as the head man.
 Sidney B. Wood and Frank Shields, the youngsters who failed so completely in 1919, stand good chance forming the. backbone of the 1884 U. s. Davis cup team.
 Fordham's football team, with Jimmy Crowley in charge, will be- the class of the east this fall.
 Bill Terry's success with the New York Giants makes John McGraw's master-nninding' look as silly as Q bufflo robe in nudist colony.
 If I, like the Chicago Cubs off, cials were anxious to pay small fortune for an outfelder, I'd rath- CT have Joe Medwick of the Cards, than any fy-chasers in the sbusi- ness. @ <
 Alice Marble, the blonde slug ger form San Francisco. and Doro- thy Round, England's demure Sunday school teacher, will be the class of the women's tennis world within two years.
 Primo Camera is the worst man. aged heavyweight champion of all time.
 { Mercer Beasley has been the tar get for more half-baked criticism in the past month than most sports figures have to take in lifetime. z That Beasley must be the best in his business or the boys wouldn't have noticed him.
 The average firize fight is next to nothing to watch.
 Ellsworth Vines made a; tremen- dous mistake by not turning pro- fessional last year.
 Women athletes are powerfully unattractive, with the gal golfers at the foot of the class.
 There is no such thing as yell low prize fighter. A guy wounldn't be in there between the ropes If he was a coward.
 That the New York Boxing com missions recent ruling whereby the referee is barred from voting un- less the two judges disagree is absurd. Judges usuually are select ed because Of political pull and not because they know anything about boxing. Besides. the referee. being the man in the best position to see. should be allowed to have his say.

McKECHNIE, FUCHS
 IN CONTRACT CONFAB

Boston, Aug 29-(UP)-Despite denials from both parties, rumors persisted that a meeting was scheduled for the near future, pos sibly today. between Judge Emil Fuchs, president of the Boston Braves, and Manager Bill Me- Kechnie, to discuss a renewal of the latter's four-year contract which terminates at the close of the present season.
 The meeting, it was believed, would be just a matter of form since it is well known that Fuchs is well pleased with McKechnie's success in making the Braves pennant contender, as he prom 1sed when he signed his contract four-years ago. and Mckechnie has many times expressed his warm re- gard for the judge.
 Pressed for comment, McKech- nie stated fiatly that he had no scheduled conference with Fuchs. and Fuchs said the thought had never entered his mind.
 While talk of new agreement between Fuchs and McKechnie might be somewhat premature, it was regarded as certain that the canny Scotchman would return to pilot the team he raised from an aggregation of misfits that had widowed in the secnod division for years, to pennant contenders, dur ing his four year term.

Marshfield, Mass Aug 2s-(UP) True to his sobriquet, "the iron major" Frank ". Cayanaugh clung to life at 8 a. m. today 24 hours after doctors said his death might be expected momen- tarily.
 That the veteran football coach, who saw service at Fordham, Dartmouth, Holy Cross, and Bos- ton college during a 35-year career, would succumb to a cerebral hem orrhage and bronchial pneumonia during the day. seemed certain. however.
 He had taken no nourishment since Saturday, when he swallowed a small quantity of orange juice. and no more stiinulants were to be administered. He remained in the coma which physicians said he never would emerge, while his wife and nine children waited at the bedside.
 Once during the night pr Don- aid s. Peggs, the majors personal physician, called. He was aston- ished to find his patient still alive, for all hope had been abandoned as early as Sunday night.

By JACK CUDDY

(United Press Stan Correspondent)
 New York. Aug 29.-(UP)-If the Boston Braves hope to win the National league pennant. tsis week is their magnificent opportunity.
 Six games behind the first-place New York Giants today, the Braves are riding a winning streak while the league-leaders apparently are beginning to slump.
 In 27 games, the Braves have won 21 times; the Giants in their last four contests have lost three and tied one.
 The<Giants held first place today by six games only because the Braves ran into Red" Lucas of Cincinnati when he was "red hot" Lucas turned the Braves back with two hits, beating them 20.
 Stacked alongside the Giants 12-S defeat by the St Louis Car dinals this didn't look so bad. Leading in the ninth inning, the Giant pitchers folded up and the Cards scored seven runs off Par melee, Schumacher and Clark.
 Two-Time Win
 Meanwhile, Pittsburg advanced to fourth place tie with the Cards by scoring two victories over the Phillies, 9-5 and 9-1. Larry French blanked the Phillies for eight innings in the second game, yielding but six scattered hits throughout.
 The Chicago-Brooklyn game was washed out.
 In the American league, the Senators, although idle, picked up half a game and increased their first-pIace lead to eight and half games over the New York Yankees.
 With Vic Sorrell hurling a four hit rame, the Yankees bowed to De- troit 6-1. The first hit off Sorrell came in the seventh inning when Lou Gehrig doubled.
 Philadelphia's Athletics scored four runs each in the seventh and ninth inning to defeat Chicago 9-5. Cain and Peterson gave the White Sox ten hits while the winners reached James and Lyons for Four teen.
 The Boston-St Louis and Wash ington-C Cleveland games were rained out.

National Doubles Champs Beaten By Two Franks Australians Able

Chestnut Hill, Mass, Aug 29- (UP)-The national doubles ten- his championship resumes its much interrupted course today, with the defending champions relegated to the sidelines, and with two Amer ican teams and an Australian duo still in the running.
 Hard-hitting Frank Shields of New York, playing the best tennis of his career, and young Frankie Parker of Milwaukee reached the final by defeating Ellsworth Vines and Keith Gledhill of California, 1882 titleholders, 6-3. GA, 3-6, 3-6, 6-2. Shields and Parker enjoy a day of rest today while the other semi-final match, halted by dark ness, is completed.
 In the unfinished match George Lott of Chicago and Lester Stoe- fen of Los Angeles won the first set from Don Turnbull and Adrian Quist of Australia. The Australians led, 2-1. on service when time was called in the second set, and the match was to be resumed at that point. Despite their one-set deficit, the Australians were expected to put up a stiff battle, already fav- ing put out the veterans Winner Allison and John Van Ryn.
