w placed five men in the
last 16 of mems sin
giles in the all-England tennis
championships today, first time
in the history of the event that
any single nation has quail
fled so many for the round be-
fore the quarter finals.
All four members of the Davis Cup
team-Sidney Wood, Frank Shields,
Lester Stoefen and George Lott-as
well as the former Columbia Univer-
sity star, David N. Jones, still were in
the running for the title Jack Craw-
ford of Australia won a year ago.
AT least one of these, however, was
certain to go out before the quarter
finals were reached. The pairings for
the fourth round sent Wood against
Jones. Shields was to face Christian
Boussus of France next, Stoefen drew
H. G.. N. Lee of Great Britain and
Lott was to play Harry Hopman of
Australia.
In women's singles the American
contingent hid fallen off to three as
a result of the all-United States
match which Helen Jacobs won from
Dorothy AndruS, 60. 6-1, in the
second round yesterday. Miss Jacobs
was to play Joan Ingram of England
and Sarah Palfrey of Brookline. Mass,
came up against Mrs. Kitty McKane
Godfree, also of England, in third

COCHRANE'S CLUB
BIC ROAD WINNER
Yanks Hot, Too, but Pick Up
Only w Games in Long
Stretch at Home.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NJ ICKEY COCHRANE'S De-
M troit Tigers were back in
Vl the West today, no long
4 u er in first place, but,
paradoXically enough, more
feared than ever by the rest of
the American League.
The significant development of De-
troit's long road trip into the East was
not that the Tigers were forced to
surrender the lead to the New York
Yankees, but that they played so well
that today they were only half game
from the top.
PennantS are won on the road, and
there was none to cavil at the Tiger
record of 10 victories and 5 defeats
in the East. The Yankees, despite a
squirt that gave them II victories in
l6 games on their home grounds,
picked up only game and half on
the Tigers while Cochrane's Surpris-
ing club was on tour.
Playing a one-day stand at home
before leaving for another but shorter
road trip in the West, Detroit squeezed
out an 81 victory over the Chicago
White Sox yesterday in 10 innings,
and remained only half game away
from the Yankees, who won, 40,
from the Senators.

If he would cope successfully with

Broaca, fresh out of college, is in line

pitching great guns for the Yanks
the little time he has been with them
1t does not seem likely, though,
that Broaca could come through with
such a sterling performance as did
big Charley Rufing yesterday in the
series opener. This burly righthander
did all but stand the Nationals on
their dizzy heads with his fine slab
feat.
That more than the defiant hoist

is needed to knock off the Yankees
was impressed upon the Nationals in

LEFTY NOW RATED
BEST NAT FL|NCER
Broaca, Rookie Star, Likely
to 0ppose-Ruffing Shuts
Out Champs Easily.
BY JOHN b. KELLER.

~ ROPPED to six full games
below the league-leading
Yankees as they opened
- a series with that fast
moving outfit yesterday, the
Nationals had nothing more to
do today than consider ways
and means of getting back into
championship stride.
Mulling over the matter, Man
ager Joe Cronin concluded the
best he could do for his waver-
ing club would consist of firing
Walter Stewart at the New
Workers when the battling is re-
sumed tomorrow.
Right now, this lefty is looked upon
as the best bet of the Washington
curving corps. Victory in his last two
games should entitle Stewart to such
a rating even though he had little
else to recommend him. Taking two
in a row is an outstanding achieve
ment for a Capital chucker these
days.
But Stewart has more than such a
streak to make him loom an out
standing member of the Nationals
slab staff. In appearances since he
recovered from an attack of facial
paralysis, Lefty has displayed every
thing good a pitcher needs. A sneak
ing curve. pitch with string at
tached and above all, control.

They Don't Score for Monte.

EONTE WEAVER was unfortu-
.lVl nate to have such a pitcher
as opponent, for Monte, despite
one weak inning, went along in a way
that more often than not would win
He gave up seven hits in the seven
sessions he sweltered on the slab and
took his beating when five were clus-
tered in the fifth for three runs. The
other run off Weaver was due solely
to the rare muff of pop by Buddy
Myer
1t was but the fourth defeat of the
season for the Professor and his third
in succession after a string of eight
wins. Yet Monte has had poor luck
in two of the last three lickings. He
yielded the Indians only three runs
not so long ago, but the Nationals
then got him no more runs than they
did in yesterdays game.
1t was pretty bunt down the
third base line by Chapman at the
start of the fifth frame that started
the Yanks to victory Dickey's single
and Hoag's hoist completed the max
ing of the first tally. Singles by Heff-
ner and Rufflng followed to send
across the second. Crosetti's loft let
in the third Then Saltzgaver's hit
was wasted.

Ruffing in Fine FettIe.

OFF Rufhng, who for some time
has been holding a hot hand,
they got nothing more than
three hits and as many passes There
was no championship stuff in the
Nationals attack, so they took a 4-to-0
shellacking that made the path to
another pennant more slick for them
than ever.
Other than Heinie Manush, who
got two of the three hits, and Joe
Cronin, who got the other hit and
one of the passes, it was a dull after
noon at the plate for the Nationals.
Ruf1ng was tipping his first pitch
right through the plate to every bat
ter and almost every batter facing the
big pitcher was on the spot before
making a desperate swing.
AS ne disposed of Fred Schultz in
the ninth to round out 90 consecutive
scoreless innings, Rufing actually
looked as fresh as when he started.
And between the heat and the humid
ity of the day, he had to be great to
appear that we'll at the finish. 1t
was the third shut-out in a row and
the fourth consecutive win for this
hurler who has done more than his
share to get the YankS back in stride
after their Wobbly round of the West.

FAWCETT DEFENDS PROGRAM
FOLLOWED BY CITY COUNCIL

AS a member OF the city council
during the years of the depression
1 have subscribed to the councils
policy of a sound financial admin
istration tending toward conserva-
tiSm in expenditures and activities
and the maintenance of : high
credit rating for our city.
1t has been argued before the
council by my opponent, Mr.. Hetzel
that in times of depression the city
should launch new projects. in
crease expenditures. and neceSSar-
lily increase taxes in order to pro-
vide labor and increased business.
While I agree with Mr.. Hetzel in
spirit, as practical matter such a
theory is entirely unsound and if
such policy had been adopted the
result would have been to plunge
the city deeply in debt and to have
required the city TO have defaulted
the payment of its bonds and other
obligations and would have placed
the city in a financial situation
from which it would have taken
years to recover.
Like the Golden Rule, such the
DRY is only effective when it is con-
scientiously practiced by everyone,
but it is evident that with the Fed
eral government. states, counties,
cities, business and industry reduc-
ing and curtailing expenditures all
along the line that the city of e.
Centre cannot lift the depression OF
the world by an independent pro-
gram Of increased expenditures.
I am convinced that the policy

being pursued by the present coun-
Gil is the correct one; namely, that
taxes should be reduced where pos
sible and that expenditures be kept
within the city's income. If that is
done. believe this city will be in
an excellent position to forge ahead
rapidly with the improvement OF
general conditions instead of being
held back by a mountain of indebt-
edneSS.
AS an example Of the working of
this policy the auditors report
shows a reduction of Sl28.412.30 in
total expenditures between the years
of 1892 and 1928, or reduc-
ton Of approximately 30 per cent.
OF this S12S412.30 reduction. S123.-
476.03 constituted reduction in OPP
Grating expense, being the equiva-
lent of a little more than 40 per
cent.
Also during the year 1928 re-
ducticn of 10 per cent was made III
the valuation of real property and a
reduction of 10 cents per hundred
dollars made in the rate
During the first half of the cur
rent year a further reduction III to-
tai expenditures was made in the
amount of S23,O96.7O or 1921 per
cent, The reduction in operating eX-
penseS for the same period was SGT
C510O or PASS per cent.
In addition valuations on real
property were again reduced 10 ne"
cent and the rate reduced cents
per hundred dollars.
