 Forest Hills, N. Y, August 17 A few Jobs and volleys from the Wightman cup matches: Fred Perry, No. in the world, warm ing-up Kay Stammers and then Dorothy Round, trying to hit the ball easily enough for the gals to handel and failing the terrifying srage-fright of stocky little Ethel Burkhardt Arnold when she walked on the court against Miss Round. Her face was white as that of ghost and she shook so badly she couldn't keep shot in the court. {. The beau- tiful fluency of Miss Rounds strokes. You wondered how anybody, even La Moody at her best, ever beat her. .. The ultra American spectator who sat just few yards from the press stand and yelled peaches!

 Swell!
 The loveliness of the West Side Club with its row after row of bright, clean, clay courts, its acres of clipped, lush grass courts; its cool tea garden with the big vari- colored umbrellas; and the grace full stadium with the Stars and Stripes and Union Jacks flying from its rim. The club looks more and more like Wimbledon. but it won't be the same until 1t attracts the worlds finest players. The jammed clubhouse bar with the best Tom Collins in America.

1S-hole rounds of the national championship but once he gets the breaks he has the shots and nerve to win the big one." ..,...,........
 Competent critics who have seen Grant play this season consider him the finest butter of today, amateur or professional, and doubt that they ever saw a crisper iron player. Bobby usually is inside opponents shots to the green. Excitement Spurs Grant,
 And May Come in Handy
 If Grant qualities and goes to Cleveland, as he figures to, he won't be lacking in confidence. Bobby is modest and unassuming, yet ob- viously self-assured. He talks like professional. t
 "I'm not particularly long driver, but ordinarily can get home with some sort of an iron." asserts Grant. "A spade mashie is my pet club.
 "The important factor in iron play is to stay with the ball. I mean keep the club face moving along the line of flight as long as possible. ,
 Putting is usually the best part of my game. Tn putting hit the ball forward of the center of the blade-just the reverse of what most golfers do. The average player hits his puts nearer the heel of the blade. My technique should make for hooking but this is enumerated by firm life wrist.
 "On a rolling green the com monest error is not to allow enough borrow. It is always better to give the ball wide arc up on the side slope because there is the chance that it will get bigger break than you imagine and trickle into the hole from above. If you allow too little for the slope the ball curls off below the cup without ever hav- ing chance to drop"
 Grant says that excitement stim- 'ulates him, which is why he likes to putt when there is something at stake. This quality will come in handy, particularly if he meets Lit tie, a grand and merciless competi- tor who never lets up on a rival in match play.

Dizzy Blanked Giants l-O for 20th Win-BrOOklyn
 HOmerS Beat Cubs
By GEORGE KIRKSEY limited Press Staff Correspondentl

UmtGu trcSS Ststh 'SOkACSpOASAsI
 New York, Aug. 17-(UP)-The stubborn refusal of the St. Louis Cardinas to stay whipped made 1t apparent today that the rowdy boys from the banks of the Mississippi are the ones to beat to win the Na- tional League penpant.
 The New York Giants still are three games in the lead but the struggle they are having to put up to cling to first place is rapidly talk ing the heart out of them. They are exhausted by setting the pace for three months, their pitchers are getting arm weary, and their hit" ters are acquiring the blind stag gers.
 Fifth Shutout
 During the first 104 games the Giants were blanked only twice, in the last five days they have been shut out three times. Dizzy Dean, one day out of a sick bed, did it yesterday, 10, for his twentieth tri- umph of the season and his first 1885 victory over the Giants. The leaders were putty in Dizzy's hands, making only three hits, one of them of the infield variety.
 For the final game of the all-im- portant battle between the two leaders, Carl Hubbell, who beat the Cards in the opener, and Paul Dean who wilted in two innings under a barrage of base hits, were to be the opposing pitchers.
 The one big run which decided one of the seasons most vital bat ties was manufactured by Pepper Martin, who's rather play against the Giants than be president. He slashed single to start the ninth, stole second in cloud of dust. moved to third on Frisch's infield hit, and scored on Medwicks' long fly to Davis in center. That run sent Hal Schumacher down to his third straight defeat. and his Sth of the season against 16 victories.
 The Chicago Cubs remained 3 1-2 games behind the Giants by losing to Brooklyn, 2-1. Jimmy Bucher's homer in the ninth won the game after Tony Cuccinello's 4-base wal Top had tied the score. Stan Hacks homer produced the Cubs run.
 Cincinnati won double-header from Boston, 3-1 and 4-3, snapping the tail-enders' 3-game winning streak.
 The three American League lead CTS lost. Washington rapped Detroit for a s-1 victory, the Senators coll lecting 16 hits off Auker and Hog sett. With Earl Averill driving in four runs, Cleveand defeated New York, S-5. Luke Sewel's double, a sacrifice and Tony Piet's single gave the Chicago White Sox a IA inning victory over the Boston Red Sox, 4-3. Vernon Kennedy shaded Wes Ferell, who was trying for his goth victory, in a hurling duel. Su- gar Cain famed 13 men, high mark for the season, as the St. Louis Browns won from the Phila- delphia Athletics, 7-2.

 ' Many players who lift the left heel do so in an aimless fashion, allowing the foot to turn until the point of the toe only touches the ground and the sole of the foot is presented. to the hole. This practice Is just as bad as If no "lOtiOn at all had taken place, for it destroys the usefulness of the lc:t side of the body. The left leg turns until the knee points towards the ground.
 When tho thing is properly done, the hccl rises consider. ably from the ground, but the foot does not turn from its original position. It is not . difficult movement for 1t is ac. complishcd simply by permit ting tho foot to be drawn mp by the turn of the hips.
 The heel should never be raised enough to draw the ball of the foot from the ground.
 At the top of tlle swing the weight is borne on the inside of the foot. The right foot has almost nothing Co do On the backswing.

New York, Aug :.c-As the re- suit of his practically beating the best ball of the more formidable metropolitan foursomes singlehand- ed in the nderson Memorial at Winged Foot, young Bobby Grant, of Hartford, is hailed as the casts hope in the National Amateur at Country Club, in suburban Cleve- land, Sept. 9-14.
 Many of those who follow the si- mon pures the closest believe that Grant and Charley Yates, of At lanta, stand the best chances of up- setting the long-driving Lawson Little. And in listing possible dark horses, let's not overlook Oliver Transue, a young man who recently has broken par a couple of times over the Country Club layout, which happens to be his home course. At Brookline a year ago it was demonstrated that the old guard was pretty well spent. No other member of the new school had pro- gressed sufficiently to give Little a real brush.
 The result was that the Stan ford student prevailed without be- ing hard-pressed in a national tour nament that probably attracted less attention than any since its early years. Little recalled the reign of the incompatible Bobby Jones by repelling Specs Goldman, of Dal- las, in the final, 8 and z.
 New and promising faces such as those of Grant, Yates, and Transue are therefore very welcome.
 Lacks Only Brute Power
 To Be Little's Equal
 Mike Brady, the Winged Foot professional, says that Grant lacks only brute power to be Little's equal. The Irishman who lost the 1911 Open playoff to Johnny Me- Dermott calls the tall, rugged Con- necticut boy the best amateur mashie -niblick player since Jerry Travers.
 "Grant overshadows any amateur in the metropolitan region," ex- plains Brady. Bob has per- fectly balanced game, sound in every department, with emphasis on pitching and putting. He stops those high pitches dead in the bir- die circle and gives the impression of complete command of the ball. Grant must outthink Little to beat him. Bob might do 1t, too, be- cause he uses his bean at all times. Unlike most amateurs, he has a definite plan of campaign, and thinks out each shot in advance. "What Grant requires most is more experience on courses out side of his home territory. He hasn't been around enough for his own good, though he has a natural match play temperament and the boise of an old campaigner. So far he has been unlucky in the early

SPENCER FINDS
Never Give Sucker Even
Break Is Their Creed,
Inquiry Shows.

The time-worn motto of the
"sure-thing" boys. Never give a
sucker a break" is perfectly exem-
plified by activities of indianapolis
baseball pool operators, Prosecutor
Herbert M. Spencer has discovered.
Not that Mr.. Spencer didn't sus-
pect it all along, but just to satisfy
his curiosity he asked Police Chief
Mike Morrissey to have his stall
warts pick up few of the books
for a searching mathematical
analysis
Police brought in about 100 and
for the last week the prosecutor and
his aids have been putting down flg-
ures in long columns and check
ing actual results as the teams
played.
Worse Than He Feared
It was even worse than he sus-
pected, said Mr.. Spencer. Out OF
more than 100 books. representing
the output of the three big Indian
apolis operators, it was found that
the number of winning tickets was
practically nil Many books paid
off not one cent and the average
was two or three winners where 1t
should have been nine or ten.
And as for those grand prizes,
they Just didn't exist.
A little more study showed why.
The large majority of possible WIN
ners included one or two last-place
teams. That cut the suckers odds
tremendously.
You Can't Win, Setup Shows
Then Just to make sure of the
last possible dollar, the boys had
arranged it so the tickets with two
or three first place teams would be
sure to include one team that
wasn't scheduled to play on that
day.
Now and then, of course. the boys
would fix it so that the books hac
a few winners, just as a come-on
But when the word got around thai
the pool operated by Bill or Emf
or Archie was paying off heavy, the
old e-thing routine was re-
established.
Inasmuch as existing laws make
it practically impossible to obtair
convictions, Herb decided the least
he could do was let the folks know
how they were investing thei
money.

Bestic is one of the most cap
able men on the salvage expedition
and the chief consultant of Capt
Russell. Hes a Dubliner born, who
ran away to sea when boy He
joined a cargo steamer carrying
fuel to the west coast of Africa.
After his apprenticeship he won
rapid promotion, eliminating in his
appointment as third officer on the
Lusitania in 1915. 1t was his first
big ship, but his first trip aboard
her was to be her last.
Relating the story OF the sinking,
he told me that he had just left
the bridge and was in his cabin
when the torpedo struck the en-
gines between the second and third
funnel. He dashed to the bridge.

I'VE started getting the boats
out" said Bestic. Il saw the water
coming over the bridge. The LuSl-
tania started sliding in 1 dived
over the side without lifebelt, fully
clothed, and fell into a hole in the
water caused by suction as the ship
sank. Then the explosion blew me
to the surface"
Bestic was picked up at $50, four
hours after the Lusitania sank. He
had been clinging to Wreckage all

the trawler Bluebell, which also
rescued Capt. Turner, and landed
them both at Queenstown.

would have been time enough to get

have been lost" he said.
