So even was pre-match Specula- tion. that the luck of the draw. which pitted Frank Shields of New York against H. Wilfred (Bunny) Austin of England in the opening match, may determine the outcome.
 The first match probabl will swing the series..
 Neither team was notably favored by the draw; yet the twist of fate that pitted the No. 2 men of each team in the first match was quite likely to prove the "key" of the series. Whichever wins will have won the one uncertain factor in the finely balanced test of strength.
 The Big Edge
 If Shields tops Austin-no mat ter what. else happens-America will be heavil yfavored. because this is conceded to be the odd match.
 Sidney Wood, slender New York CT, whose glittering play in the Australian series gave America it's life, meets Fred Perry, worlds ranking amateur, in the second match today, but is not given more than an outside chance. The dou- bles Monday will bring George M. Lott of Chicago and Lester k. Stoefen of Los Angeles against Perry and Pat Hughes of England. The Americans have been conceded this match.
 The series would thus go into the final day with Perry, on form, capable of two victories, and Wood one-over Austin. The odd match will have to be today-Shields over Austin

PARKS LEADERS FACE STRONG FOES
 IN SUNDAY GAMES

With the A B c and North End Hillies in tie for first place in the second, round the Pub lie Parks league will swing into action in it's third week of the final round tomorrow afternoon pro- vided the diamonds are dry enough to permit playing. Both leading teams face strong opponents with the Oaklands meeting the North End Hillies at Waterville Park at ? o'clock and the A B c will meet the c & c Jrs at Fulton Park at ? o'clock. In the main attraction at the Cooke street diamond the Waterbury A. c. will stack up against the strong Wilson A. c.
 Good Game
 Up at Washington Park the Rey- mond Hillies who dropped a ten inning battle last week to the North End Hillies will endeavor to break into the win column with a victory over the St Stan nine. Parch Desmaris will hurl for the Hill nine and LaVasseur will be behind the plate with Bobby Grady being held in reserve. This game is carded for o'clock.
 The circuit has been going strong and playing to several hundred fans every Sabbath during the sea- son and the rivalry between the clubs at present is something we'll worth while mentioning. With all the talk concerning small collec- tions and such there hasn't been much of this unpleasant converse tion in league circles. The fans are quite reasonable with the Parks leaguers and their assistance is enabling the boys to play weekly contests in comfortable fashion.

 Pittsburgh, July 26-When Carl F. Kauffmann was national public links golf champion in 1927, '2S, and '29, none was more pleased over his triumphs than his mother. Mrs Catherine Kaufman, who passed away last winter.
 And because his successes gave his mother such joy, Kauffmann remained an amateur when he might have accepted profitable offers to turn professional. It is for the same reason that the one time Shcenley Sphinx would like to acquire the 1894 National Anna teur Public Links championship here, July 30-August 4, at South Park course.
 Pittsburgh and the county of AL 1egheny, fond of Kauffmann, their perennial champion, are staging timent, on the course where he currently reigns as county and course champion.
 kauffmann's ambition is to gain his fourth title, so that he may leave a record that should stand for years.
 He admits, in a roundabout way, that he will retire from com- petitive golf if victory comes his way. He also confesses he is growing older, and grayer, and that perhaps the youngsters com ing up are shooting better golf these days.
 Approximately 250 public links players will tee off in the 36-hole qualifying round, July 30 and Au- gust 1. Half will play IS holes at North Park, the other half at South. They switch on the second day.

INJURED TANKS HAVE REAL TASK
 HOLDING LEAD

New. York, July 2S.-CUP)-The Yankees came home in first place today but not quite sure how they got there, after one of the most death-defying road trips of their career.
 Battered and wounded, their out field stripped of three regulars Ruth, Combs and Chapman, they went through the gamut of depair; until with half the club laid out with injuries, they unexpectedly started winning.
 In the closing series they got back to the top holding it now by two percentage points.
 Detroit and Cleveland more than held their own against the eastern invaders. the Tigers winning ten and losing six. the Indians winning II out of 16. Washington pro- duced the most dismal showing, the champions virtually booting their chance for the pennant when they dropped 12 out of 16 games. Boston failed to break 800, win ming eight and losing nine. The west outplayed the east on the in- vasion, capturing 37 and losing 27 for .57S.
 Yesterday the New York Giants stretched their lead over the Na- tional league to three games, whip ping the Phillies in the series opener. 6-3. Hal Schumacher did the trick. allowing only seven hits walking one and flaming six.
 Bill Swift of Pittsburg shut out the St Louis Cardinals 40, tangling with Jess Haines for six scoreless innings. after which Jesse weak ened. the Pirates running up a triple and three singles to score three in the seventh.
 No other games were played.

One of the first things golf professional tells a beginner is, to start the backswinS slowly. When player gets off hi5> game he should check up on this funda- mental.
 A sharp backswing will throw the player off balance, frequently causing him to hit the ball before he can shift the weight. from the right foot to the left in the down swing.
 A sharp backswing. often caused by tension, is impossible if the player is properly relaxed. A slow backswing is an aid in attaining proper relaxation.
