 Scores of workmen will start im- mediately grooming the half mile track in preparation for the races. Determined to make sage Park one of the geratest speed plants in the United States, Dick Dunn stated:
 since taking over Sage Park for auto races for August and September l expect to draw the largest crowds of spectators ever to witness an automobile race in New England. I will show them the best entertainment the people have ever seen and they will all come back for the netx race" !.

DEFEAT OF VAN RYN AND MANCIN
 PROVED SURPRISE
Trusoff and Grant New FavOrites in Sea-
 bright Play

Seabright, N. J., July 26-(UP) A blond giant from the Pacific northwest and a pint sized young gent with a high powered racquet from Georgia dominated the Sea- bright invitational tennis play as it moved into the en1i-final rounds today.
 Henry Prusoff, bespectacled Se- attle youth whose terrific service and deadly chops drove Greg Man gin, fifth ranking player of the country, out of the singles play scored the biggest upset of the play to date.
 Bryan (Bitsy) Grant, the mighty atom from Atlanta, Ga, furnished the rest of the fireworks, wearing down Johnny Van Ryn, Davis cup veteran, for the right to meet Berkeley Bell of New York in the lower bracket of the semi-finals today. Prusoff meets Winner Alli- son, Texas, in the other half. AL lison, top seeded player, defeated Wilmer Hines of Columbus, s. C., while Bell turned back John Me- Diarmid of Fort Worth, Texas.

TODANS .SPORTHPAEApE,. :. bAA%Ht4D
By HENRY McLEMORE

United Press Stan COrrespondent)
 Wimbledon, England. July 26.-- (UP)--For 364 days of the year John Jennings goes about the little town of Maison Lafltte on the out skirts of Paris comforting the sick, advising the troubled and aiding the needy. Maison Lafitte is rac- ing town.
 Pitched almost in the center of town racing Is the premier indus try, with lavish two-mile track. It is matter of record that wherever ponies run you will al- ways find plenty to share sadness and distress.
 John Jennings parishoners are nearly always turf men. When he looks out over his congregation Sunday mornings he sees for the most part owners, jockeys. train- CTS. stable hands-men. women and children who. when a race is on. crowd the rail with tpari-mutuel
 But John Jennings is not satis- fled with only knowing the un- happy side of his parishoners lives. As their counsellor, he believes 1t is duty to share their joys as well. So that is why one day each year John Jennings steps down and away from the pulpit. discarding the church's sober cloth, dons the bright silks of jockey and goes to the post on the back of thor oughbred.
 John Jennings once-a-year ride is not the act of a publicity seek ing evangelist. He isn't grand standing. He has been doing 1t for twenty years and a glance at the records shows that during that time he has won many of Frances most important stake races. John Jennings rode this year and al- though in his middle fifties, a stranger would have found 1t diff1- cult to distinguish the minister among the jockeys as the horses paraded to the post. His figure in bright red silks was as trim as ever, his seat as sure.
 He finished second this year, los- Ing by length or two in the rusA down the stretch. When entries for the next race came out. John Jennings had hung up his tack and gone from the noise of the track. More than that DO one will ever tell you in Maison Lafitte.
 More than one owner will tell you in Maison Lafitte that he has attempted to persuade John Jen- nings to foresake the church and train a string of horses. so sound is his knowledge of horseflesh. But he is to ride in his annual trip to the post.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-07-26

The schedule favors the Giants, for they finish at home-an ad- vantage always in a close race.
 But, on the other hand, the Cubs have a long stay at Wrigley field during the hot dog days of August, That is when we'll have to do our real driving. The Giants are apt to find the going particularly rough on the road at that time, and if we can keep within hailing distance during the present road trip, feel that we will take the lead before Labor Day.
 Once we get out in front, the Giants will find it exceedingly diff ficult to head us off.
 I. anticipate a hard battle right up to the wire. Four clubs must be considered, but the dope points to the Cubs and Giants fighting it out, with the one getting the best breaks most likely to cop.
 All Set
 Until the other day, the Cubs biggest problem was getting injured players back into the regular line up. Now that Charley Klein and myself again are available, we soon should be making the Giants pant.
 SHiCo6O Stlll ldlluISapPCu dN that, without Shortstop Bill Jur- ges, who may be out for some time. While the Cubs are fortunate in having q substitute of the caliber of Woody English, urges absence hurts lot.
 Our pitching, believe, is set for the remainder of the campaign. Guy Bush. Warneke, Bill Lee, and big Jim Weaver constitute our first line staff. All save Bush are in good condition, strong and ready to go. Bush hasn't been feeling well, following an ear infection, but it is nothing serious, and the Mississip- pi Mudcat will be his same old fast and screw ball self within a few days.
 Pat Malone, Root and Timing make up our first line pitching re- serves. and they, too, are in tip-top shape.
 Looks Good
 Our position at this stage of the scramble is a favorable one. Chi cago puts fine defensive machine on the field daily, with eight regu- lars hitting moro than 300. includ- ing drivers like Klein, Gabby Hart nett, Hazen Cuyler, and Babe Her. man.
 cuyler, whose failure to smack the sphere with men on bases, dur ing the present invasion Of the east should shake his slump any day. Although his mark for the jaunt fell to .15S, his seasonal average still is 1928. I'm not worried about Kissi. He's too natural a hitter to remain in rut. TAe Cubs are pulling together, and none of our boys concde the Giants, or any other club, any, thing.

 SQUAD PREPARES
 TO FACE ENGLISH
Wood and Shields Hailed By All for Great Up-
 hill Battle

wimbledon, England. July 2s.--- (UP)--Hailed by British and Tan. kees alike for the most spectacular uphill battle in the annals of Davis Cup play, the grim quartet of Americans who yesterday eliminate ed Australia in the interzone finals, prepared today for the challenge round with England this week end.
 With hope of victory go slim, after Saturdays double defeat, that only die hards conceded even a sentimental chance, the four Americans fought back to even terms and then won out on the final day of play.
 Frank Shields, whose blessing srtaight-set victory over Vivian McGrath scored a Twenty Grand finish. was given unstinted praise yet the major share of glory un- questionably goes to slender but wiry Sidney Wood, the blond New Yorker who played probably the best tennis of his life to defeat the man who a year ago was rank. ed No. 1 world amateur, Jack Crawford of Australia.
 some V1CtOry
 Wood led two sets to none 6-3 and 9-7, ct resumption of play. And for two narrowing sets 1t seemed that all the paens of vic- tory were premature. Gone was Woods backhand mastery, .. his splendid baseline tactics, his devas. tating accuracy at the net.
 And then while his mates sat grimly silent on the sideline, Wood found his game again.
 He played like man possessed, holding his own service at five games to two and breaking Craw. ford's delivery on a passing shot that sent the stands into an hye- tericai uproar. The last set was won at 6-2.
 Shields scarcely allowed Nc. Grath breathing time as he raced through in straight sets 6.4, 6-2 6-4. His last point was a blister. ing forehand shot that nearly knocked McGrath's racquet from hia hand.
