PERRY AGAIN
TAKES TITLE
IN EN- GL AN D

WIMBLEDON, Eng, July 3. W,P)
Frederick j. Perry, ruler of the
tennis world for the past three
years, furthered that domination
today when he won the all-England
singles championship with a 6-1,
6-1, 60 victory over Baron Gott-
fried Won Cramm of Germany.
Perry's victory today, achieved
before a crowd of $4,000 which
packed every inch of the grandstand
and standing room, gave him the
honor of being the first player to
win the title three times in row
since Anthony Wilding turned the
trick in 1910, 1911, and 1912.
Won Cramm's defeat was the most
crushing suffered by any Wimble-
don finalist in history. The entire
match required less than an hour
to play, and the spectators sat
stunned as the worlds second rank
ing player was rendered helpless.
Perry's play was of the most SEN
sational order. He could do nothing
wrong In the air, off the ground,
and on the service line, he was a
killer. Won Cramm fought back as
best he could for set and half,
and then, as if he knew it was no
use, he quit trying to return the
champions whiplash forehands and

flashed across the finish line
a half lap ahead of Freddie
Davis to cop honors in the
40 lap main event at the
Midget Speedway Thursday

around the track without spinning
once or twice.

ally on the 18th round Herrick took
the lead.
After taking the lead Herrick
maintained the fast pace and never
relinquished his edge.
Thomas held third place until
the 30th round when he was forced
out of the grind with motor trouble.

tempt to overtake Herrick but al

several times he could not take the
lead.

in the last two laps to pull away
from Davis and win the event going
away.

Diego fifth. All five cars were
close together and put on one of
the most thrilling races of the

corners became very rough. When
the cars zoomed into the turns
many times they left the ground.
Only expert maneuvering on the
part of the drivers averted serious
accidents.

LITTLE GIANTS
RATED HIGH IN
CREW CONTEST

PRINCETON, July g. W,P) - Al
Ulbrickson, coach of the unbeaten
U. of Washington crew, was sitting
on q low bench in front of the
Princeton boat house as the HuskieS,
naked except for trunks and short
wool socks, came out carrying white
tipped oars. They were getting
ready for trial spin on Lake Carn-
egie in preparation for the final
Olympic tryouts Saturday and Sun
day.
"Tney call 'em giants of the far
north" commented the black haired
western coach, but just look at
them. They're not big at all. The
biggest man weighs only 1877 and
we have one man who scales 174.
They are Sinewy and rangy and
most of their power isn't noticed at
first glance"
The Washington crew, which de-
feated California in a 3mile race
on the coast and then came east
and won the intercollegiate cham
pionship in a four mile race at
Pughkeepsie, is favored to win the
right to represent the United States
in the 1000 meter event at Berlin.
Others entered in the Olympic
tryouts are California, Navy, Prince
ton, Pennsylvania and New York
A. C.
The trials will start tomorrow at
$50 p. m. (EDT) with Washing

Boatwright; and Gilbert House VS..
George Young.
Three main bouts and five fast
preliminary matches have been
lined up on the card at the Fl
Centre Amateur athletic club start
ing at $3.50 tonight.
The Manuel Ortiz-Chief Lopez
bout, which will top the program
will be one of the fastest, most
evenly contested battles seen In
the valley. Ortiz is the best Mex
lean fighter in the valley and has
been knocking over battlers ike
so many ten pins.
Chief Lopez, flyweight champion
of the far west will hand Ortiz
all of the battle he wants and
more. He has trimmed every out
standing flyweight in the nation
and is ranked as the No. fly
weight in the amateur ring.
jose Ybarra, who came within
an ace of whipping the southern
California lightweight champ here
a couple of weeks ago, will take
on johnnie Chavez in the battle
that will probably turn out to be
the best on the program.
Ray Vargas, Bert Colima's choice
as the next middleweight champ
ion Cf the world, will meet George
Rivers in another bout that will
be a WOW. Rivers dropped close
decision to Herman Graves on
June IL.
Eugene Boatwright, Ell Centro's
most coiorlu1 lightweight, will
battle it out with Joe Villages in
the second bout on the program.
Boatwright boasts a great record
but will find the going tough when
he starts hitting at the clever

right arm and set down the Braw-
ley batters with no hits and no
runs. Calexico nicked Art Rubi-
deauX fer seven hits and five runs.
Myers, who pitched in San Diego
last night, hurled the most out
standing game of the season

his right eye was swollen shut.
He suffered the eye injury when
a ball took a bad hop in the San
Diego game Wednesday night.
Inning after inning the BraWley
batters strode to the plate, de-
termined o paste the ball, only to
return to the bench after swinging
at three balls or after dribbling
weakly to The infield.
Myers nonchalantly stood on the
pitchers mound, peered at the bat
ters with his one good eye, sized
up the man and threw the ball
across the plate so swiftly that
only the outline of the sphere
was visible.
Manager Johnny Carroll played
on the Calexico nine Thursday
night, taking over the right field
position. Carol played errorleSs
ball-Note: only two balls were
hit to the outfield, one to left and
one to center and he looked
mighty good at the plate.

home run for the Calexico team
and drove in three runs in the
eighth with a long fly into right
field that the fielder dropped.
Kelly added to the Calexico to-
tai with a double and triple in

DR.. Gericke has been working sew
eral years on these experiments and
he first announced his success in the

Essentially, the success of his tech

most favorable for growth. Ten or
more elements are used in proportion
to suit the species and climate. All
are products of the heavy chemical
industries and readily available.
So far, the greatest success has
come with plants that have high
content of water, sugar, and starch.
