MANY NET ACES
IN ACTION TODAY
"a of 29 Ranking Players of
Country Slated in Ma
tionaI Singles.

BY the Associated Press.
CREST HILLS, N. Y, Septem-
* Der 3-Twenty-four of the
twenty-nine nationally ranked
American tennis stars were
booked for action today in the second
round of the fifty-third mems national
singles championship in pursuit of the
crown worn by Fred Perry, the black
haired Briton.
1t will be the first appearance for
the majority of them in the 1884
tournament, since many, with three
of the four seeded foreign players,
were accorded first-round byeS.
Perry encounters Martin Buxby of
Fort Worth as his second opponent.
The British titlist scored in a romp
over Carl Schweikhardt, the former
Columbia University player, on Sat-
urday, but Buxby, 1888 Middle States
champion, is figured to prove more
formidable.
Allison in Danger.
TRANK x. SHIELDS, ranking
American and top seeded in the
native list, draws as his first
opponent Edward T. Herndon of New
York, while Wilmer Allison of Austin,
Tex, who emerged with the victor in
a terrific three set struggle with young
Gil Hunt of Washington, D. c., in the
first round, takes on another threaten
ing foe in Dr. Eugene McCauliff of
Yonkers, N. Y.
None of the seeded stars appear in
real danger of elimination, barring
complete reversals in form, with the
exception Of John w. Van Ryn of East
Orange N. j., and Bryan M. CBitsy)
Grant, jr., of Atlanta.
Van Ryn tackles Henry Prusoff Of
Seattle, while the little Southern
giant killer" opposes Manuel Alfonso
of New York. .Prusof has made a
creditable record during the Summer
invitation campaign, and although
Alfonso has lost much of his speed in
the last few years, he is still a shrewd
tactician, even though his shots have
lost some of their former power.

first woman ever to swim to Boston

Charlotte L. Arne, daughter of DR..
James A. Arne, Medford physician,
yesterday performed the feat that
had been accomplished only once
previously-by Sam Richards in 1913.
The distance to Boston Light is
II miles by boat, but the girl was
forced to swim longer distance each
way due to the tides. Jumping into
the water at Charleston Bridge at
5:55 am, the same time Richards, a
famous swimmer of his day, began
the grind, Miss Arne reached the
Light at 1924 pm.
Her time was 13 hours IS minutes,

varsity squads toiling away in earnest
preparation for season which should

many opportunities to win places in

Maryland expected to have back

return, as well as big delegation from
the 1888 freshman team.
If Tom Webb, center, re-enters
school, only one member of the var
sity team of 1888 will not be available,
Bucky Buscher, quarterback, who has
graduated.
All the men who filled the other
places are slated to be on hand to-
day, Simpson and Bradley, guards;
Callahan and Minion, tackles; Bernie
Buscher and Ennis, ends; Sachs, full
back, and Widmyer and Nelson, half
backs. Besides these a large group
of second-string men are returning.

HOyaS' Material Scant.

COACH JACK HAGERTY is up
" against it for veteran material
at Georgetown. In fact the
Blue and Gray is starting with fewer
men from 1888 than any other local
school. 1t does have. though, several
really flrst-claSs players and some
exceptionally good material from the
undefeated freshman eleven.
Joe Savarine, halfback, is captain,
and he will have with him from last
year Charles PARCELS, Meglen and
Heron. Three excellent linemen are
left in Williamson, who can play
either tackle or center; Downer, tackle,
and Cohen, guard. 1t is understood
that Hagerty intends to use William
son at tackle.
Bob Fererra, quarterback on the
freshman squad last season. is an ex-
ceptional player and is looked upon
as almost certain to start in the sig
nal-calling job. Gibeau and Bodine,
other freshman backs. and Cy Cum
nings, son of the famous Cy of old
Georgetown fame, are said to have
outstanding possibilities as linemen.

Secino Likely C. U. Back.

4 MOTHER back who may make
n the team is AL Secino. He was

son, broke his leg and never was able
to play. However, in Spring practice
he did not seem to be affected much
by his regular seasons lay-off. Coach
Dutch Bergman expects great things
from him. Bob Jefferson, a back from
the freshman squad is another player
Bergman regards very highly.
Catholic University's major early
season objective again is Holy Cross.
After opening October 6 with La Sale
at Philadelphia, the Brooklanders
journey to Worcester on October i3
to meet the team they would rather
whip than any other on their
schedule
The next game, with Baltimore
University ought to be easy, but the
one with Manhattan which follows
that should provide plenty of thrills.
Western Maryland will be a tough
eleven, as should be Oglethorpe and
South Dakota, with Duquesne prob
ably among the strongest elevens that
any of the Southern teams met any
where.
There is not the least doubt about
Catholic University having had in
Spring practice last year one of tie
Notwithstanding elevens ever de-
veloped in this section at that time OF
the year. And it is better than an
even chance that a good deal more
precision and effectiveness will be
acquired before the beginning of Oc-

ANGELS SEEK
PAYMENT FOR
SPLIT SEASON

LOS ANGELES, June s. U.P)-
The Los Angeles Angels are willing
to split the Coast League schedule
provided the players find the ven-
ture financially profitable.
Some reward should be presented
the Angels for hopping so far out
in front of the other teams, Angel
officials feel, before they agree to
surrender their leadership and
start a new campaign in midsesaon.
The reward, it is felt, should come
from the league treasury.
1T will be all right with us if
they want to split the season." said
Business Manager Oscar Reichow.
But we think our boys deserve a
purse for their efforts so far this
year. We have assembled a fine
ball club and the boys have hustled
from the first day of the schedule.
That is why they are out in
front"
Reichow is wasting little sympathy
on hapless opponents who have
lost 25 consecutive series to the
fast-traveling Angels.
What would probably be better
than split season would be for
the other clubs to go out and
strengthen for the rest of the year.
Reichow said. Let them get some
ball players. That's what we did
and you can see the result by scam
ming the standing of the teams"
The Angels have won 10 of their
last 20 games and have four series
remaining before reaching the
midpoint in this years race.

PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE GAMES

The tenth week of the Pacific
Coast league season found the
principal competition in the race
the struggle of four teams to gain
a place in the lower half of the
first division, behind the pace

The San Francisco Seals, the

wood Stars and the Oakland nine
we're jammed tightly together in
the middle Of the league standings.
AS the tenth series opened, the
Seals and the Senators were tied
for third place with 81 games won
and 30 lost. On their heels were the
Hollywood club with % won and
"a lost. The Stars skidded into
fifth place by losing seven straight
last week to the Angels. Oakland
was full game behind Hollywood
and four games ahead of Seattle,
the seventh place club.
Some changes in the standing
are expected to follow this week S
play, in which the Seals, with a
crippled lineup, entertain the ram
pant Angels; the Mission Reds
battle at Hollywood; Oakland takes
on Sacramento; and Seattle and
Portland resume their cellar feud.
