Sheriff Tom Cant, James Dugan, former deputy, reported early to- day that he saw several members of the mob force him into, an au- tomobile late yesterday when the
 mob's anger against the sheriff was at its height. He has not been seen since. Feared the Mob
 Even the small detachment of National guardsmen, that staged yesterdays battle, although heavily armed with machine guns, rifles, and side arms did not wish to cope with the mob. Camped two miles outside the city, the troops awaited the reinforcement of 500 ad- ditional guardsmen ordered out last night by Governor Hill Mo- Allister.
 The extent of the mob, still formed at a. m. (4 a. m. est) today could not be determined ex- actly, but IA to 16 cars were seen
 repeatedly racing through the streets in procession and each was believed to contain from six to 10 men. Their intention of dynamiting the jail had been announced and the 24 prisoners held there had been removed.
 A United Press correspondent made a tour of the negro section, several square blocks of cabins and shacks. All doors were barracaded. Attempting to arouse someone, the correspondent pounded on doors. Several times he heard means and once a prayer for mercy. Military authorities planned to take over the town when the re- Inducements arrive. The troops
 were coming by trucks from neigh
 boring counties.
 Negro In Nashville E. K. Harris, 22-year-oid negro, accused of criminal assault on a 14-year-old white girl, object of | the mob's wrath, was safe in the Nashville county jail. His trial was beginning with a jury already se- | lected when the mob, forming all
 morning around the courthouse,
 rushed the building. A mistrial was declared. The National guard escort of 100, which brought Har- ris here from Nashville where he
 had been held since his arrest,
 went into action.
 Thereafter, events followed rap idly.
 The mob rushed the courthouse
 four separate times. Each time
 tear gas bombs and bursts of ma
 chine gun and rifle fire, justly di-
 rected over it's head, drove 1t back. But several times. soldiers and rioters locked in hand-to-hand fighting. Harris was put into a National Guard uniform. His hands were
 gloved and a gas mask put over
 his face. In this way he was spir- ited from the building and taken
 to Nashville.

 "I do not fish with ordinary worms, I train them. I keep them in box behind the house and feed them well with coffee grounds. thus gaining their affection. This makes them willing workers. After a while they know my footsteps and stick their heads up to greet me when I feed them.

Experts cast back into historic fields for comparisons-bac to the days of Steinfeldt, Tinker, Evers and Chance of the old Chicago Cubs, or to the great athletic in field, Stuffy McInnis, Eddie Col lins, John Barry and Home Run Baker. It is not at all unlikely that Foreman Cochrane's infield, dug like rabbit out of hat-Green- berg, Gehringer, Rogell and owen may rank with the immortals.
 Of the four, Charlie Gehringer is the only veteran. There is no standout performer in the group. They average .340 in batting, Rog- ell being the weakest at about 300, while Gehringer leads at .371. But they are holding Detroit at the top of the list in club batting, at .S01; and they are second only to New York in defense, with a fielding average of .974.
 What Foursome!
 Cochrane brought this infield from nowhere. Greenberg, a lanky lad from New York city, came up from Beaumont in the Texas league two years ago. Freck Owen halls from san Jose, Calif., and was talk en over from the Newark Bears of the International League. Bill Rog- ell. the buckeye bomber, is slightly older; he was with Boston until four years ago when he joined the Tigers =
 Detroit ventures away from home after a months stop today holding a brief series with Cleve- land, then returns to entertain Chi cago. St. Louis and the Indians in order, while the Tanks are enjoy ing a home stand. It is possible the pennant chances of both teams may be determined after that when the Tigers roar eastward for their last road trip.
 Slick Work
 Yesterday the Washington Sen ators were driven back into sixth place when Yves Terrell pitched a shutout for Boston, so. A tive-run rally in the seventh sewed up the game.
 St. Louis moved back into the spot vacated by the Senators, de- feating the White Sox, 4-3. Gifts triple and Sam Vests homer tied the score in the eighth, and oscar Melillo drove ball at Luke Ap- bling which he found too hot to handle, shunting in the winning run in the last of the ninth.

BRITONS EXPECTED
 TO TAKE DAVIS. NET CUP TO-DAY

Wimbledon, England, July 31- (UP)-The 24-hour reprieve grant ed America's tennis forces through the influence of George Martin Lott and Lester Rollo Stoefen, Yankee doubles team, ends this afternoon.
 First on the program will be Frank Shields, Americas No 2 player, opposing Fred Perry, Eng lands and the forld's No l.
 After that, Sidney Wood, slender New Yorker, will play H. Wilfred Austin of England, but this may be regarded as posthumous af- fair unless predictions go very much awry, the Davis cup will be on it's way to the British locker before that match starts.
 The British hold two-one edge over America, following the spec tacular victory of Lott and Stoefcn over H. G. N. Lee and Pat Hughes of England yesterday. The Yankees won, 7-5, GO, 4-6, 9-7, and once more proved they are without peers in doubles play.
