PERRY REGA|NS
NET T|TLEFOR
ENGLAND
BY CHARLES A. SMITH

WIMBLEDON, England, July 6.
Fred Perry of England today won
the all-England tennis champion
ship by eliminating the defending
champion, Jack Crawford, of Aus"
tralia, in straight sets, 6-3, 60,
IS.
Perry is the first Englishman to
win the English title in Is years.
AS he left the court the crowd
rose in a thunderous ovation to
him.
Perry won because he outgen-
eraled the veteran Australian. He
never permitted Crawford to play
his norm al, leisurely rythmic
game.
Terrific Attack
Perry launched terrific attack
from the start and when Craw-
ford tried to play q nice, friendly
game at long range the English
man insisted on dashing to the
net for kills to the corners or
lobS just over the net which were
equally effective.
Jack gave everything he had
in the last set, but he seemed to
have lost much Of the speed
which he displayed in winning
the Wimbledon, French and Au-
stralian titles last year.
Jean Borotra and Jacques
Brugnon, the veteran French
pair, eliminated Frank Wilde
and 7. G. Collins in the mems
doubles, IS, 3-6, 60, Ga.
The Englishmen put up a splen-
did fight against their more ex-
perienced rivals, but in the end
it was this experience which
swung the tide in the older
mems favor.
In the mixed doubles Bunny
Austin and Mrs. D. C. Shepherd
Barron defeated John Olliff and
Jean Ingram, Ga, 6-1. All are
British.
George Lott, Of Chicago, and

fen will meet Borotra and Brug-

But strange as it might seem,
the majority of this pitching has
come from the rookie group of
manager Joe McCarthy's staff and
not from the supposed veterans,
who in other years have carried
the brunt Of the work.
Johnny Broaca, recruit from
Yale University, has been the
biggest aid from the youngster
crop now with the Yankees, while
Johnny Murphy, former Newark
luminary, and Johnny De Shong,
who couldn't quite make the grade
with the Philadelphia AS couple
of years ago, have been others.
Having the rockies come
through for them has been a graf
flying event for the YankS in the
last two or three seasons. For ex-
ample, two campaigns ago when
the team was winning its first
pennant under the guiding hand
of Mccarthy, Lefty Gomez and
Johnny Allen, rockies. then, un-
corked triumphant Streaks that
were sensational to say the least.
Another YOungster
Last year they had a youngster
by the name Of Russell Van Alta
deliver in excellent style, even
though in this case. the flag
wasn't grabbed because the Griffs
happened to experience their best
season in moons.
Now this year, Murphy was the
first to get started on the right
track. He was given relief roles at
first and his efforts were so good
that later manager Mccarthy sent
him into action as o starting
pitcher. Success Immediately FOL
lowed.
Broaca was the next to reach
the limelight. Among his early
starting efforts was q one-hit
game against the st. Louis
Browns while the Yanks were en-
tertaining the western team fol
the first time this season. Needless
to say this encouraged the lad
to greater heights, which heights
he's kept bettering as his assign
ments have rolled around.
It's been only recently that
Johnny de Shong has entered
the "hall of fame" for Yankee
rockies.
Used In Relief Rolls
Quite as in Murphy'S case, this
youngster had been used in relief
roles mostly, but the other day
when Manager Mccarthy was
hard pressed for starting pitchers,
he was sent to the mound against
the Boston Red Sox, and as for
tune, tradition and what-have'
you would have it, his effort
turned out to be O complete suc-
cess as he won a 10-to-4 victory
while the Yanks hit the offerings
The Washington times., 1934-07-06

Of the Red Sox hurlers to all
corners of the lot.
Now, the efforts of these three
rockies haven't been the reasons
for the entire success Of the Nc
Carthymen this year as lefty
Gomez and Charlie Ruffing have
experienced splendid campaigns.
But they've aided in no small way
and at the end of the year, the
American League will be able to
look back and say that the Yanks
couldn't have come near the sue
cess which appears near them had
it not been for MeSsrs. Johnny
Murphy. Johnny Broaca and
Johnny de Shong.
