ALLISON INJURED
 BEFORE FINAL

Seabright, N. J., July 3l-y(UP)- A torn ligament in his back may force Wilmer Allison, former Nation. al tennis champion from Austin, Tex, to default to young Bobby Riggs of California in their sched- uled final match for the seabright title today.
 Allison was injured near the end of his semi-final match with Frank Shields of Hollywood Thursday, and the finals, originally scheduled for Friday were postponed 24 hours. Allison's physician told him the torn ligarnent should have ct least c week to heal, but the Texan pre- ferred to wait until today before deciding whether or not he would withdraw.
 Alice Marble, blond San Francis co girl, who was believed likely to lose her national title this year be. cause of three early defeats by Jadwiga Jedrzejowska, battled the Polish champion to c showdown yesterday to win e-3, 6-7, 8-6, and thus keep seabrights record of never c foreign titlist" unsullied.

Pirates Beat Braves 7.6 in Nineteen Innings, Hess
 Going the Route
July si, 1919, at Boston

Juy oAp AvASl " DVosvu
 (ThB Is the longest game ever played on any 3iSt day of July)
 The Pirates conquered the Braves 2 to 6 in nineteen innings, in an ex- ceptional extra inning game.
 Both teams made more than twice as many runs in the last two inn- ings as during the first seventeen, c most unusual circumstances in coni- parison with other long conflicts.
 Hess pitched nineteen innings, hurling excellent ball for seventeen but weakened in the eighteenth and nineteenth, and became just as easy as he had been invulnerable.
 OToole, likewise, pitched fine ball until Fred Clarke substituted some- one to run for him in the thir- teenth. Robinson and Camnitz fin- ished for Boston on the mound.
 The Pirates tied 2-2 in the seventh, after which neither team scored for ten innings. Pittsburgh broke the monotonous string oi blanks by counting twice in the eighteenth. Johnnie Kling's charges duplicated these tailies in their half Pittsburgh came back with three more runs of Hess in the nine. tcenth, and though Boston triec gameiy to again repeat, they fell ont short of another tie.
 NOTE: This game ranks as th( fifteenth longest in the majors.

BUILD UP FOUR GAME LEAD OVER NATIONALS
Wicker, Rockies SOuth- paw, Wins for Yanks;
 Brandt Beat Bees
By GEORGE KIRKsEY

" SlASOANAAS AAAASAA0S4 United Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, July Sl.-(UP)-The Yankees, with their power, and the Cubs, with their all-round team strength, are taking all the joy out of the major league pennant races by their sizzling pace. Other con- tenders are rapidly fading out of the picture.
 For 6 or innings the Tanks can look like team mats ready to col- lapse and then in the other 3 or 9 innings score enough to win. They belted the St. Louis Browns yester- day, 8-2, making all their runs if three frames. They now lead the American league by 6 1-2 games.
 The Cubs clamped down on the Giants, 5-3, after spotting New York 3-run lead. The Giants de- fense collapsed.
 Chicago's victory, achieved largely through the timely batting of the tail-end hitters, Billy Jurges and Phil Cavarretta and the Giants wavering defense, increased the Cubs National league lead to 4 games.
 Not Bad
 Kemp Wicker, rookie southpaw recalled from Newark, hurled the Tanks to their victory over the Browns. The Tanks made 12 hits, including Lou Gehrig's 20th homer.
 Pitcher Jack Wilson doubled in the tenth, driving in the run by which the Red Sox defeated the Tigers, 6-5. A squeeze play bunt by Gene Desautels enabled the Red Sox to tie the score in the eighth.
 Washington slammed out IS hits to smother Cleveland, l3 to 2. Cecil Travis hit @ homer, triple and two singles. Stone, Kuhel and Millies chimed in with three hits each in the attack on Whitehill and Brown. Jimmy Deshong gave up only 6 hits.
 Bill Lee outpitched Harry Gum bert in the Cubs win over the Giants. After the Giants had scored runs in the second the Cubs came back to tie the count in the same inning. After singles by ODea and Jurges, Cavarretta, No. hitter, slammed out @ double, driving in two runs. Another run scored when Joe Moore dropped a fly. Then Jurges, No. 2 hitter drove in the winning run, in the third with single. A wild throw by Blondy Ryan and an error of omis- sion gave the Cubs another run.
 Well-Done
 Lefty Brandt gave up only two hits as Pittsburg trimmed the Bos- ton Bees, 10. The Pirates loaded the bases in the ninth on Todd's double, @ walk to Brubaker and a safe bunt by Young. Then Pinch- Hitter Red Lucas flied out, Dickshot, running for Todd, scoring after the catch. The two hits off Brandt were a pair of doubles by Ray Mueller.
 In a night contest at Cincinnati, the Philadelphia PhillieS nosed out the Reds, 1.0, behind the five hit pitching of Lamaster. The Phils got their tally of Hollingsworth in the first inning when Browne walked, took second on an infield out, and came home on Church Klein's single.
