BASQUE IS FIERCE
COURT TENN|SFOE
Play So Fast Losing Phipps
Turns Ankle as Gallery
Talks to Itself.
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

TUXEDO. N. Y, Dec. 4.-Pierre
Etchebaster, a little French
man remindful of Henri Co.
a chet. gave hulking Ogden
Phipps the licking of his life at the
Tuxedo Club today in the opening
four-set block of their match for the
world open court tennis champion
ship.
'Alabaster," who will be A next
week, completely outclassed his 29-
year-old opponent, who holds the
American amateur title, 6-3, 60,
|6, 81, and had him blowing like
a pOrpoise toward the finish.
So exhausted and bewildered was
Phipps that in the final game of the
fourth set he tumbled into the iron
trough" running lengthwise of the
net and turned an ankle. 1t swelled
so flercely that it was necessary to
postpone the two concluding blocks
from next week until January / and 2.
Knows Who Will Win.
RUT it makes little difference when
they settle their quarrel. Phipps
knows who will win it and so do the
200 socialites who arose practically
before daylight to watch today's one
sided play. Etchebaster's swift, in
telligent game left them gasping.
The little Basque was in command
from the start Few of those who
paid $3.50 a throw to witness the
match knew how to keep score 1t
takes long, sober years to learn that.
But none could fail to appreciate
the artistry of Pierre's strokes. When
it was over Phipps suffered: MY,
didn't know anybody could play like
that"
The only argument among the old
time court tennisers was whether
Etchebaster, professional. could
have taken the measure of Jay Gould,
who held the American title for 20
years. Most of them thought Gould
would have beat him.

- game is going to mean some
/ thing like $500 to $500 per
man to either the Redskins or
the Giants. That is the anticipated
sum each member of the winning team
will derive from the play-off a week
from today in Chicago against the
Bears, the new Western champions.
Last year only $4,000 turned out for
the play-of between the Redskins and
the Packers in New York but plans
already are being made to accommo-
date more than twice that number at
Soldier Field in Chicago The fact
that the 1886 game was played in a
neutral city was thought to have had
much to do with the reason why each
Packer received only $237 for beat
ing the Redskins and each Skin got
only $l67.
Irwin in Poor Trim.
THE only discouraging note evident
IN the Redskin camp here tonight,
some IL hours prior to leaving this
clustered spot for the Polo Grounds,
was the probability that Don Irwin,
the teams greatest line plunger, would
be unable to play unless, absolutely
necessary, and then only for a few
minutes.
Irwin tore several muscles in his
side loose in the early part Of the
Green Bay game last Sunday, and al
though he has been going through
daily workouts this week, it was
learned tonight that he was in no
shape to play.
1t was bad news to the teams fol-
lowers who recalled Don's work in
mid-season when he always could be
dependen upon for sizeable hunks of
yardage, and it was sad news to Ir-
win himself, who nails from this sec

Scouting Goes for Naught.
PROBABLY both the Giants and
Redskins will decide to call it
quits on scouting after tomorrow's
game. especially if the Giants prove to
have duplicated what the Skins have
done
Since last Sunday, Coach Ray
Flaherty has made changes in % of
the Skins plays and given them seven
new once, which should make them
resemble a never-seen team to the
Giants
He was saying today that the Skins
know everything the Giants have
done in every game this year, but If
the New Yorks have been as smart

Capital entry nothing.
Kick May Decide.
THAT field goal may decide the
game was evident from the man
ner in which Riley Smith, the Skins
place-kicker par excellence, was prac-
ticing today. Riley worked from the
30-yard line for about IS minutes
and then moved back to boot several
over from the 40. It shouldn't be
forgotten that he won the second
Philadelphia game with field goal
in the last minute of play.
If the score is tied at a similar
stage tomorrow, Riley may be worth
a few hundred bucks to his team
mates.

Baugh in Starting Lineup.


TIE GAMES ordinarily have no
meaning in the National League
but this is one time that tie would be
fatal to the Washington team and a
hfesaver to New York. For a draw
would leave the Giants with a final
record Of having lost one less game
than the Skins, and. although the
Washingtons have won one more than
their rivals, the percentages would give
the title to the former.
Under such conditions, Flaherty will
start his best backfield of Riley Smith,
Cliff Battles. Sammy Baugh and Erny
Pinckert. 1t not only gives the Skins
their strongest offensive quartet, but
places premium on deception.
Today, during the last drill, Smith,
Battles and Baugh were running. pass
ing and kicking from all formati tions.
Each OF the trio practiced as a triple
threat. Even Pinckert, the blocker,
carried the ball at times and often
was found on the receiving end of
short passes.
II the Giants have an advantage
and Coach Steve Owen was quoted to-
night as saying he didn't see where
there was any doubt about tit is in
their ability to alternate two teams
without weakening their game. Es-
peclally Is that true in the backfield,
where the Giants can-and do-re-
place an entire quartet with four
equally good men.
Soar, Richards Dangerous
THE foursome of Ed Danoswki, Tuffy
Leemans. Dale Burnett and Les
CorMne, usually starts for the Giants,
but Ward Cuff, Kink Richards, Hank
Soar and Leland Shaffer can step in
at any moment without any noticeable
change. In fact, some think that Soar
and Richards are the hardest runners
on the team, although Leemans' Shift
ness and Danowskis passing generally
pay dividends.
Tomorrow the situation will be the
same that prevailed in the final East
ern game between these same teams
year ago. Then, as now, the con-
test decided the sectional champion
ship and the Redskins won it, I4-0.
That, incidentally, has been the largest
margin ever to separate these two
teams in their six-year rivalry, which
started in 1882.

4 \ just a formality before we
play the Bears for the championship, -
Washington's pro football players to-
night had the satisfaction of knowing
that if they do their bitterest rivals
will be chastened before the largest
crowd in the l2-year history of the
National League.
According to indications of the
ticket sale on the eve of the battle
which will decide the 1897 Eastern
championship and entile the winners
to play in Chicago next Sunday, some
10000 fans-including thousands from
Washington-will be at the Polo
Grounds in New York tomorrow for
the kickoff at o'clock.
Such crowd would be a National
Football League record and only the
$4,000 who saw Red Grange in an
exhibition game on the Pacific Coast
when he was playing his first year
with the Bears would stand between
the New York gate and the all-time
record attendance for the pro game
All the 4l,000 reserved seats have
been sold. Tomorrow the $4,000 un-
reserved lower stand seats are ex-
pected to be snapped up quickly
Weather predictions for tomorrow are
Warmer, with possible showers"
Final Drill Impressive.
THE crowd that watched the Red
skins go through their last work
out on the practice field of the West
chester Country Club here today was
impressed with the zeal and fire OF
the burgundy jacketed players.
On the same ground over which
Army and Notre Dame teams usually
prepare for games in New York, the
Skins flashed all the collegiate spirit
and youthfulness of those famous
undergraduate teams.
Yells. war-whoops and constant
chatter marked the 1l2-hour signal
drill with every precaution taken to
maintain physical well-being. Occa-
sionally when some one slipped on the
grassy field, he drew the attention OF
all others, anxious lest a playful mis-
hap result in major injury.
All escaped. but Coach Ray Flah-
erty shooed them off the field for goo6
a half-hour earlier than planned
when they seemed unable to restrain
their enthusiasm.
1t was not the end of pre-game
preparations, however, as Flaherts
held skull practice for two hours this
afternoon and another two hours after
dinner. That, in order that no one
should be in any detail unacquainteo
with new plays. devised especially for
the Giants. Several brand-new ma.
neuvers have been designed for the
game which the Skins must win tt

fleet Of war planes downed a French
"Air Pyrennes'' transport plane near
his besieged Basque capital today
and wounded the French pilot and a
Spanish passenger.
The plane was damaged badly by
the bullets and a forced pancake
landing on sandy soil 13 miles north
of here, behind Basque government
war lines.
All the passengers were Spaniards.
The plane was approaching the
mouth of the Nervion river toward
the coast from Bilbao when seven in
surgent planes, described by Basques
as a German-built fleet, were report
ed to have raked it with machine gun
fire.
Elsewhere, at Hendaye, on the
Franco-Spanish frontier, a new insur-
gent advance was reported to have
showed General Mola's front lines
within eight miles of Bilbao.
The advance, an insurgent com
munique from the Salamanca head

eight miles southeast of the besieged
capital and half way to the next OBJ
