Youngsters, Veterans Seek TWO Positions

NEW YORK, July 12 dN.s0.
It's a scramble between young
sters and veterans today for the
two open United States Davis Cup
berths.
That was the picture after Wal
ter Pete, captain of C hampton
American force, gave his list from
which the two spots will probably
be filled, and predicated that the
United States would meet Austria
liza for the tennis trophy.
Assuming that Don Bulge and
Gene Mako are certain members
of the squad, Pate admitted there
are two doubtful places.
"For the first one, he said, "it's
a battle among Robert Riggs,
Bitsy Grant, frankie Parker, Joe
Hunt, Frank Kovacs, Hal Surface
and Don McNeill."

FLAG WINNERS
BY ANTHONY J. PUGLIEsE

NEW YORK, July IL U.N.S0,
Producing perhaps the most vivid
pyrotechnics of the year, the next
fortnight will go a long way
toward giving better slant on the
baesball pennant winners in the
best races the American and Ma
tional leagues have witnessed in
many seasons.
The fireworks are well under
way in the National, where the
Pittsburgh Pirates carry a 12-game
winning streak into a final game
with the Chicago Cubs today be-
fore returning home for a IL
day stand against Eastern oppo,
sition.
LITTLE TO FEAR
Outside of the New York Giants,
the Pirates have little to fear from
the Brooklyn Dodgers and the
Philadelphia Phillies. The Boston
Bees mound staff, if right, can
throw barrier in the path of the
Buccaneers.
Meanwhile, the league-leading
Giants will be travelling through
the very hostile West, doing battle
with the Cincinnati Reds, the
Pirates, st. Louis Cardinals and
the Cubs, in that order. The Terry
men have won % while losing 20
in the West this year.
In the American League, the
Cleveland Indians are opening a
highly important 12-day road trip
starting in Washington today. At
the same time, the New York
Yankees are feasting on the lowly
st. Louis Browns as the appetizer
for the advent of the Detroit
Tigers, the Indians and the Chi
cago White Sox to the Yankee
Stadium.
STAYING UP IN RACE
The Boston Red Sox, who are
staying up in the race mainly
through the efforts Of Jimmy FoxX
and Lefty Grove, are also at home

Yanks and Sox are given decided
advantage over the Indians and
stand a good chance of catching
the men of Oscar Witt, tradition
ally poor road team.
At any rate, when night falls
on Sunday the oath, it is probable
the pennant-winnerS-to-be will
have stepped out with heightened
stride for the dash down the
stretch.
The Pirates cut the Giants
league lead to a game and a half
yesterday by winning their twelfth
straight, from the Cubs S to 3 by
scoring three runs in the ninth.
Relief Hurler Jim Tobin was cred
tied with his sixth win as his
ninth-inning single scored the two
winning tallies. The winning rally
was fashioned about Rizzb's
double, Vaughan's walk and
singles by Berres and Tobin.
In the only other game played,
home runs by Billy Myers, Lew
Riggs and Lonnie Frey gave the
Reds a 9-to-5 win over the Car
dinals. Peaches Davis won his fifth
game Of the year as the Reds
scored eight times in a first-inning
rally.

Equally important is the choice

colors; large-hgured prints in round

4HE court beauties of Western
Europe during the era of elegance
were forced to adopt special founda-
tons for their elaborate coiffures of
puffs and curls. The hair was arranged
over ickly-padded wire or wooden
frames. To appear in public with these
complicated headdresses even slightly
disarranged was considered grossly
ill-mannered by the fashion arbiters
of the period. But it was not con-
sidered a serious offense for these
coiffures to be worn without cleaning
as long as they would hold together.

But if you want your clothes to
slenderize you, pick out dull-surfaced
fabrics in solid, dark colors. Reject
contrasting tones in hose, belts,
blouses, jackets and even hat bands,
because they break the long slim line.
Use vertical and diagonal lines in
collars, necklines, cuffs, bags, hats
and ornaments.

DRESSING TO
DECEIVE
by Sylvia Blythe

NE person who knows where
Nature stops and Art begins
~ is a dressmaker. That few
Of us are born with a perfect figure is
what Madame Ferdinand Capet, Gus
tom filter in famous New York
gown shop, will tell you. And she
helps to dress some of the most beauti-
full women in America. But she will
tell you also that the illusion of
perfect figure can be created.
Your entire silhouette can be
thinned down or rounded out with
the right clothes Inches can be added
to or subtracted from your stature;
length borrowed from your torso and
added to your legs; shoulders made
to appear broader; necks shorter or
longer.
One film star, who is noted for
her lovely figure. has over-developed
shoulders. This, with her small stature,
would make her look trifle stocky,
if her clothes we're not designed to
increase her height.
For those with similar problem,
there is the same solution as for this
star. Conceal your shoulders, for
example, with a built-out shoulder
line. At the same time. use the other
devices Madame Capet recommends
to make you look taller. Lifting the
shoulders at the armholes, with epau-
lette effects or pulled sleeves. will
add to your height.
Below your shoulders, however, to
keep the line of your body long, the
sleeves should be made to fit your
arms snugly. Legs will look longer

HOW DOES
HE DO n?
by Harold Hart

SCIENTIST wishes to saturate
"a a dry sponge with twenty
q - ounces of distilled water. To
insure accuracy he uses syringe that
holds exactly three ounces. He knows
through previous experiments that
each time he injects the particular
sponge that he will use, two ounces of
the liquid will be retained while one
ounce will drip out.
The distilled water in the laboratory
is to be found in a large cask. Our
scientist usually goes to the cask with
large glass measuring jar and fills it
to the desired level from the supply
source.
Being a logged sort of chap, it
enters his head one day to find out
just how little of the distilled water
he can run into the jar and still per-
form the usual experiment.
Now, remember that twenty ounces
are to be injected into the sponge and
that one out of every three injected
ounces will drip out It seems
that no less than thirty ounces will
be required.
Somehow the young fellow con-
trives to perform the operation after
putting into the jar only twenty-one
ounces. Can you figure out how he
turns the trick? (Answer on page 15).

"Well, what do you think?" she
