and courtcovering, she'll live to
regret the matter. Miss Ryan is
not the tennis player she used to
be, but she hasn't yet reached the
point where even the No. hand
about the place can afford to
take liberties.
AS I get it, Miss Jacobs is sut-
fering as much from a lack OF
keennesS as from her ailing ankle;
if so, the Ryan match today ought
to set her up-if she wins it. II
she doesn't, anything will be pos
sible in this most frivolous OF re-
cent women's championships.
We might even be afforded the
engaging spectacle Of the Ameri-
can lady, disenfranchised and ex-
patriated by the will OF her own
tennis association, coming back
from Europe just in time to win
it's championship. The American
lady in question is Miss Ryan
who, for the first time in years,
is giving serious consideration to
the winning of a singles cham
pionship.
The foreign menace, none too
active from the first, may be
snuffed out altogether today. In
one of the quarter finals, Carolin
Babcock, the Californian, will play
Katherine Stammers, of England;
in another, Sarah Palfrey, the
Bostonese, will be coupled with
Freda James, of England. I fear
the worst for Freda, but the Bah
cock jury is still out.

der laughed when the game was
over; laughed for the first time
since he joined this club. He
wanted to show up the Yank-
ees, and he did.
His arm is sound and his
mind is relieved of doubts. He
will be a fine pitcher for the
rest of the year. And here's a
prediction to paste in your nat;
he will be a winner in '35. I'm
counting on him..
A happy camp is the Tiger
camp at the Hotel New Yorker
these days when victory mods from
lust around the corner. Charley
Gehringer, refusing to discuss his
own part in the pennant structure
of the Tigers, is cheering for Bill
Rogell and Marvin Owen. Owen,
it develops was i'll last summer.
He had some trouble that
caused him to break out in a
rash. But skilled medical treat
ment has relieved tne colulIIoli'
and he is ready for the most siren,
nous work the season can crowd
upon him.
"Owen is the best young ball
player in the league" said Gehr-
niger.
He waved aside the suggestion
that there was a guy named Cecl!
Travis, another one named Bill
Werber and another named
frankie Crosetti.
ROGELL LAUDED
"He is still the best" insisted
Gehringer. "a good hitter, fine
thrower and great fielder. And
RogeII, not a youngster exactly
is a great man to have at short
stop. What a honey he IS on
double plays. Just eats the plays
I'D. 1 wonder at him the way ne
gets to the ball, and the way ne
handles it after he gets there.
It's easy to win games with a guy

the Detroit Tigers, looms large in the pennant
plans of Mickey Cochrane. Crowder is def
nitely listed as starting pitcher on five
day schedule, and Cochrane says he will be
winner.
Crowder's arm has been pronounced abso-
lutely sound by Danny Carroll, Detroit club
trainer, who has been working on it since the
Gin 'rill joined the Tigers. Cochrane says that
Crowder will go right ahead and win his full
share of games for the rest Of the season. It

POLO|STS
START TRIALS
TOMORROW
Nv BERNARD FREEMAN

With the preliminary details
out of the way, the Army polo
machine will be stepped into
second gear tomorrow, as the
first of the series of tryoutS to
select the team to meet the MeXl,
can army in September, IS uSteo
for Potomac Park.
Major ]. M. Swing, Colonel
George S. Patton and Major
Howell M. Estes, who comprise
the selection committee, have the
cream of the Army crop from
which to pick, but it doesn't take
much prognosticating to figure
that three of the four positions
are likely to be filled by Captain
C. E. Davis, Lieutenant George
Reed, Jr., and Major C. c..
/ ("C-Square"O Smith. That is. OF
course, barring injuries, slumps,
and possible streakS of brilliant
polo that the other candidates are
capable of unleashing.
Finest No. 4
That the team will be built
around the veteran C Square
Smith is fairly probable. Handi-
capped at six goals, the highest
of any man in the Army, C-Square
is rated as the finest No. 4 in the
service and one of the best in the
country. He has just come here
after being stationed in Chicago,
where he played plenty of polo
and performed as of yore. His
spectacular, reckless sorties into
scrimmage as usual made him
widely feared by the opposition.
Captain Davis, a five-goaler,
seems quite secure at No. l, and
Lieutenant Read, handicapped at
three goals, looms as likely No. 3
For the No. position, however
a wide open fight appears certain
as the result of the injury to Lieut.
C. M. wPacky') Mcfarland. Nc
Farland, called by many the out
standing No. 2 player in the Army
wrenched his left side in the Army
Junior championship several weeks
ago, and is definitely out of tho
forthcoming international series
He has been ordered home to Sar
Antonio, Tex, to recuperate.

"Crowder just about cinched
the pennant for the Tigers"
said COchrane today. 81 stuck
him in a tough spot against Go
mez, and he was unsteady at
his start. If I had taken Crow

kept encouraging him and the

I've never mad the pleasure OF
seeing this sardine-Sized Sardl-
MAS put up his dukes, and, alas
1t may be too late for me to get
the thrill I anticipate. Because
they do say the flashy fist flip
per is on the down grade, and
he must be, in view OF the fact
that very recently he took to
fighting the likes of Baltimore
Buster Brown in comeback
campaign that ring history tells
us is a futile foray.
8 Thorough Threshings
He beat Brown, as who could
not: but, before Brown, he took
three thorough threshings from
Tony Canzoneri, frankie Kick
and Petey Hayes, names which
mean much more in fistlana
than does that of Buster Brown.
But those who have seen Eligio
Sardinias-Kid Chocolate 10
you-in his glamorouS trail
across the canvassed horizon
say he always gave his best.
He can make a lot of friends
in Washington tonight if he'll
give the best of what is left to
a ring-thirsty city which is fair
ly furnishing for good fast fight
ing.
perhaps by electrifying to-
nights audience THE Keed"
will find a good locale for the
sunset of his ring career and
thereby thwart the sad ending
of having to go back to Havana
to sell papers, whence he
sprung.
I invoke such a possible pros
pect for THE Keed," not be-
cause he hasn't made a lot of
money-and for all 1 know still
has much of it-but because he

1t was really only a stay OF exc
cution, since Miss Jacobs must
totter out there this afternoon
and engage in her postponed quar-
ter final match of the Women's
National Tennis championship,
with no great reason to suspect
that rainy weather will furnish
solace and relief for neuritiS OF
the ankle.
Nevertheless, she'll be better
prepared for her meeting with
Elizabeth Ryan this afternoon
than she could have hoped to be
"a hours ago-and the fact is that,
the further away they keep Miss
Jacobs from the final round right
now, the nearer she'll ultimately
be to the title.
History, in other words, might
very we'll play return match
here. It was rain, as much as mel
own fortitude, that carried Helen
Wills Moody, practically an IN
valid at the time, as far as the
final round last year.
In spite of dolorous accounts &c
the contrary, if Miss Jacobs goes
that far this time, she'll go SC
much further that they all viii
have to wait till next year to catch
up with her. Her key-match is with
the subtle and courageous veteran
Miss Ryan, this afternoon.
The latter is giving away
great many years to the cham

CARDS WIN TWO
WITHOUT DEAN
BROTHERS

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE abb
sence of the two Deans-Dizzy and
Paul-from the Cardinals lineup
may, in the long run, cause the
St. Louis club great deal of woe,
but for the time being at least,
Frankie Frish's team seems to be
doing very well without the eccen-
trio pair.
Yesterday for example the Cards
swept both ends of a twin bill with
the Phillies, 4-3 and u. The
first game went II innings and
was won by Leo Durocher's double
scoring Collins. In the nightcap
Collins hit his 9th homer. Garlic
ton and Bill Walker did the pitch
ing for the victors.
Out in Cincinnati where the
Reds clashed with the Brooklyn
Dodgers a bit of major tragedy
was witnessed. Owen Carroll
making his first start for the
Dodgers since April was uncere-
moniouSly Shelled from tne Hounu
in two innings and the Redlegs
won by a score of 8 to l.
The worlds champion New York
Giants and the Pittsburgh Pirates
were idle, but the Chicago Cubs
failed to take advantage of an op-
portunity to gain on the Terry
men. The Cubs split a double
header with the Boston Braves,
taking the first game, 80, in ten
innings, but dropping the night
cap, 6 to /. AS result Charley
Grimm's players are still four
games behind the National League
pace settlers.

Chocolate has had three vices.
First, he has been too gener-

poverty as a tattered kid, he

Secondly, he is fond of gaudy

FOR T|LTS IN
8 SPORTS

University Of Maryland will
stage a triple-header Saturday at
College Park, meeting Virginia
Tech in baseball, Yale in Ia
crosse and Virginia in tennis.
The ball game will be staged
at 1880 p. m. and the lacrosse tilt
at $3.50 p. m. so that both may be
taken in by the fans.
Maryland will go into the ball
game with a clean slate in South
ern Conference tilts, but will
meet one Of the best mines in the
Dixie organization in the Cob
blerS.
Yale Good Team
Yale's lacrosse team should
give Maryland an interesting
game, as the Ellis are among the
best stick outfits in Northern
circles. They have played two
games to date, beating the
alumni, 10 to 2, and Brown,
8 to 2.
The Old Liners and the Ellis
have met only once before in
lacrosse. That was in 1925 when
the Yale team sprang a big upset
by winning S to 8 in Baltimore
Stadium. It was Maryland's only
defeat that year and the Old
Liners took the Southern division
title th1t season by defeating
Hopkin7 in the decisive contest,
3 to !.
Georgetown's baseball tossers
take on Temple University, of
Philadelphia, this afternoon at
the Hoya field, Thirty-seventh
Street and Reservoir Road North
west. Coach Ralph Mccarthy
probably will pitch George Nestle
in an effort to bolster up the
Hoyas' indifferent record thus
far.
Temple likewise brings a team
here that has enjoyed but med
iocre success. The Owls, however,
after upsetting Navy, S to /, at
Annapolis yesterday, have hopes
Of adding another notch today.
Spiders Win Again
Georgetown, which has been de.
feated twice this season by Rich
mon University, can take some
consolation in the defeat which
Maryland suffered yesterday at
the hands of the Virginia nine,
IL to II. It also was the second
time the Old Liners have lost to
Richmond.
George Washington U. batters
had a field day against Randolph
Macon at Ashland, Va, collecting
Is hits to win, II to 8. Archie
Scrivener gave a nasterful exhibit
ton by limiting the home team to
four hits. Bill Albert, Colonial
third baseman, crashed a homer
with two on base in the sixth.
Local Netmen Win
G. w. and Georgetown tennis
teams also had a successful day
yesterday. The ColonialS won
from Lafayette, 5 to 4.
The Hoyas had a much easier
time against Wake Forest, the
Deacons failing to win a match.
