BY his form yesterday Perry has

ter playing form than anyone had
realized. He handled his op-
ponent's hard American twist SER
vice with the greatest of ease,
dropping the ball at Jarvis feet
as the latter rushed the net be-
hind his delivery.
Donald Bulge, the top-seeded
American, also played exception
ally well in losing but one game
to George Seewagen, the score
being Go, 81, 60. My only
comment on Budge's play is that
If he continues to have easy
matches such as yesterdays en-.
counter (and from the draw it
looks like he wild, he is liable to
come to the final round being
''match-soft."
Jacobs Scores Easily
In the women's division, Helen
Jacobs scored an easy victory over
her first round opponent, Esther
Edwards, 60, 60. Miss Jacobs
new fore-hand stroke, about which
we have heard so much lately,
was in great evidence. This new
shot of hers may possibly become
her most effective shot. However,
the test Of her ability to make
this shot will come when she faces
better player.
Miss Katherine Stammers, the
comely English left-hander, also
came through in easy style, win
ming over Miss Grace Surber, 81,
81. 1t was simply case of too
much Miss StammerS and too
many "nerves" on Miss Surber'S
part. Probably the best match in
the women'S singles was the match
between Miss Jane Stanton, young
junior star from Los Angeles,
and Mrs. Penelope Mcbride, with
the latter winning, Ga, 81,
6-3. This was simply a case of
too much experience on the part
of Mrs. Mcbride.
Another women'S singles match
that went the full route was be-
tween Miss GuSSie Regener, of
San Francisco, and Miss Jacque-
line Horner, junior champion of
France. It was Miss Horner's first
grass court tournament and her
lack of play on this type of sur
face was most evident. The scores
were As, 6-3, Ga, with Miss
Regener on the winning end.
Miss Regener, as I saw her
play today, looks like excellent
Wightman Cup material. She has
a tremendous left-handed spin
serve which she backs up with
very good net game. Her
change of pace was very much
in evidence as time and again
she caught Miss Horner flat
footed on the baseline with ill
concealed drop shots.
Hall Beats Welsh E.
To get back to the mems
singles, the best match of the
day, from a tennis standpoint,
was between j. Gilbert Hall,
ranked No. 8 nationally, and
Barney Welsh, former national
public parks champion, with the
former winning in four hard sets,
Ga, 3-6, 1913, "a. On the
last point Welsh double-faulted
himself right out of the cham
pionship tourney. The match
was featured by Halls hard driv-
ing and Welsh'S fine back-hand
passing shots.
BY coming through in this
match, Hall has served notice that
he is out to redeem himself for
his poor play during the first part
of this season.

Seven Look
To 1887
Chase
By KIRK MILLER
Times Sports Editor

Outside of some in
termittent skirmishing
to land places in the
first divisio n and
thereby cut in on the
world s r e s split,
seven teams i n t h Q
A m eric a n League
have given up the pen
nant chase and a r e
girding against a new
race next year.
Naturally anxious glances
turn appraisingly to the men
they have tucked away in the
minors on option, men like
Washington's Mihalic, sington,
Estalella, Lanahan and Phebus.
There isn't a ball club owner of
the seven who doesn't realize the
fact that something must be done
another year to stem the New
York Yankees, who have shown
enough strength this year to be
already called formidable contend
erS when 1887 rolls around.
Fill Weak Spots
While it is long way ahead to
be focusing on 1887, say moth
ing of worrying about it, there are
definite requirements for many of
the 1885 alSo-rans of the American
League who, even now, can be ex-
pected to step into spots which
this year have been weakly sup
ported.
For instance, Detroit, thrown for
o loss in the very infancy of the
present season by the injury of
Hank GTeenberg, will be banking
heavily next season on Rudy York,
farmed with Milwaukee, to fill the
first-base gap or at least alternate
there with Irving Burns, dragged
in from st. Louis late last April
for the job.
Indications are that the next
time you see Hank Greenberg on
the ball field will be in the capaci-
ty of an outfielder. He lacks
the grace to be in so vital a spot
as first, and is too susceptible to
injury. His splendid hitting will
be preserved with him in the gar
den and yet he won't be in the
vortex Of so many hard, furious
plays.
ShoW Promise, Too
The Tigers have other recruits
who are showing promise in the
smaller loops, notably Infielder
English, hitting 1888 for Toledo,
Outfielder Bates, hitting the same
for Indianapolis and Outfielder
Laabs, hitting 1897 for Milwaukee
with al runs driven in and ITO
runs scored, including 81 homers.
TOO, coming TO ILle 4lSeIS 10
Pitcher Halter with Is wins and
six losses for the Brewers. He
leads the American Association in
strike-outs with I'll to his credit
at the last compilation Of aver

Using cubs in the miners, notably
Pitcher Salveson at Los Angeles,
who has a record of II and 3
and a batting average Of 1927.
With the Angels also belonging
to the White Sox is Infielder Mes
ner, a third baseman, who bats in
the third spot, and has registered
1876 hits for a mark Of 800. He has
driven in over 100 runs.
