GRID PIRATES
BEATEN AGAIN

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. l7-(UP)--
Addition of Byron (whizzer) White,
University Of Colorado's all-Ameri-
can halfback, has failed to make a
championship threat out Of the
Pittsburgh Pirates It was conceded
today after the Pirates had lost
their third straight National Pro-
fessional Football league game.
The Cubs were walloped 27-7
last night by the Philadelphia
Eagles before a crowd Of $4,000.
White scored the Pirates only
touchdown against the much im-
proved Eagles, but he also won the
goats role with q tumble on the
16-yard line that caused Philadel-
phia's first tally.
Jay Arnold recovered the Whiz-
GERS tumble and raced Is yards for
q touchdown In the first period.
Rifles pass to Arnold-good for 40
yards-was good for another marker
In the second period. Arnold inter.
cepted a pass and ran rs yards for
another touchdown in the same
stanza. Rifle broke loose with O
45-yard run to score the Eagles
last touchdown in the third period.
Pittsburgh's only tally was set up
by White, who got or long pass to
Paul McDonough, who was downed
less than q foot from the goal line.
The Whizzer crashed over for the
touchdown on the first play.

the next three games.
The pennant-winning Newark
Bears and the second place SYRIA
cuse Chiefs, who we're favored to

TURNESA TESTS
PAT ABBOTT FOR
AMATEUR CROWN
East and West Produces
Ozark Horse" Finalists
at OakmOunt
BY HARRY FERGUSON
UNITED Press Suorts Editor

Oakmont, Pa, Sept. 17.-(UP)-
Never you mind what Mr.. Kipling
wrote about never the twain shall
meet, for out here on the cool slope
Of the Alleghanies east and west
meet, mingle and maui today in a
fight for the national amateur golf
championship.
Out Of the west with the glare of
Hollywood's kleig lights still In his
eyes, comes frail, pale Pat Abbott, of
Altadena, CAL, movie extra with
golf game as beautiful as Dietrich's
profile.
Out Of the east, to meet him here
on neutral ground, comes little Will
lie Turnesa of Briarcliff Manor, N.
Y, O great golfer from a great
golfing family that includes six pro-
fessionals.
Put 'em on the scales and they
are a pair Of lightweights-short,
slender boys who tip around 40.
Put 'em on a tee with the chips
down and they are a pair of flint
hearted buckaroos who never know
then they're licked.
They are the best of 1853 who
started Monday across Oakmont's
long, lean fairways in a tournament
that turned out to be q bed of
clover for dark horses. Johnny
Fischer, Johnny Goodman, Gus
Moreland, Charlie Yates and all the
other great ones are on the side
lines today, standing behind the
hopes Of the gallery marshals and
watching the unknowns 60 up the
glory road.
Abbott came to this momentous
day as q result Of wading through
the upper bracket and defeating
Ray Billows, Poughkeepsie, N. Y,
Tom Draper, Jr., st. Louis, James
E. Fraser, Absecon, N. j., Joseph
Thompson, Hamilton, Ont, and Dick
Chapman, Greenwich, Conn.
His 36-hole match with Chapman
yesterday was q classic lesson In
how To get ahead In a golf tourna-
ment. He won the first three holes
and never lost the lead. He piled
up advantage after advantage until
he was three up at the end of the
morning round Of 10 holes. And,
when Chapman made his challenge
late In the day up the long back
nine by winning three holes In
row, Abbott proved he had the
stuff Of greatness In him. He fired
a par on the 31st at Chapman to
halt the rush. Then he swung the
axe on the 32d by dropping q 100
yard approach shot three feet from
the pin and sinking his putt for a

PIRATES PASS
up BIG CHANGE
TO COAST IN
COOney's Ninth Inning Sim
gle, Rizzo's Homer Split
DOnbIeheader
By GEORGE KIRKsEY

UNITED Press staff Correspondent
New York, Sept. 17-(UP)-The
tenth man on the Pittsburgh Pi-
rates team these days in their drive
for the National league flag is
Father Time. Every day that passes
brings the Pirates nearer the pen
nant They may be backing into 1t,
as some Of the boys rather broadly
assert, but they're getting there just
the same.
The Pirates aren't exactly a ball
Of fire, but every time someone
knocks them down they get right
back up. And every time they get
up Father Time chalks up a point
for them because they are the much
nearer the October 2 finish line. The
situation with the contenders Is
that they have to catch the Pirates
and none of them have shown any
serioues signs of putting on a red
hot drive. Amid the time Is getting
short.
Golden opportunity to deal a
knockout blow to the other contend
ers was passed up by the Pirates
yesterday when they split a double
header with the Boston Bees. After
winning the first game, rs, when
Johnny Rizzo hit his Goth homer in
the eleventh, the Pirates blew the
second game in the ninth. After
the Pirates had scored two runs in
the ninth inning Of the nightcap
to break o Pa tie, the Bees came
back with three runs In their half.
Johnny Cooney's single drove in the
tying and winning runs.
The split left the Pirates with a
three-game lead over the Cubs, each
with 10 games remaining on the
schedule. Idle yesterday, the Cubs
play a doubleheader against the
Giants at the Polo Grounds today.
The Cubs, needing o sweep to stay
In pursuit Of the Pirates, will call
on their two aces, Bill Lee and Clay
Bryant. The Giants will use two
rockies, Johnny wittig and Bill
Lohrman.
Cincinnati missed a chance to pick
up ground by dividing with the
Phillies. Paul Derringer became the
first National league pitcher to WIN
20 games as the Reds won the Reds
won the opener 20. He allowed
eight hits. Ernie Lombardi's 18th
homer and Wally Berger's triple
followed by an infield out gave the
Red Birds their runs. Hugh Null
.cahy won his fourth straight in
stopping the Reds on three hits in
the nightcap, 2-l. The Reds only
run resulted from two errors in the
ninth by Del Young.
The st. Louis Cardinals beat
Brooklyn twice, A. land "a, to
increase their sixth place lead over
the Dodgers to four games. Johnny
Mize's triple drove In two runs In
the opener. Country Slaughter's
homer with two on topped the
Cards four-run fourth in the night
cap.
The New York Yankees need only
two games to clinch the American
league pennant after their 60 VIC
tor yover Detroit. Lefty Gomez, al
though allowing II hits, won his
18th game. Frankie Crosetti drove
In three Yank runs with single
and double.
The Boston Red Sox increased
their second place margin over
Cleveland to two games by defeating
the Indians, 81. Archie McKain
smothered the Indians In the
pinches.
No other games were played.

BULGE ON VERGE
OF GRAND SLAM
IN TENNIS WORLD
Win Over Wood Today
Will Finish Great Year
for Californian
BY HENRY McLEMORE
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent


Forest Hills, N. Y, Sept. 17.-(UP)
The eight survivors of nine days
of play in the national tennis singles
championship meet in the semi final
round today, and the United States
Is certain Of a finalist in both the
mems and women's division.
The schedule, which will be played
before q sell-out crowd of $4,000
is:-
j. Donald Bulge, defending cham.
pion, against Sidney B. Wood, vet
eran Of two American Davis cup
teams.
Gene Mako, Budge's Davis cup
doubles partner, against Jack Brom-
wich, eccentric stroking Australian
ace.
Alice Marble, 1896 champion,
against Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fabyan.
six times sharer of the national
doubles title.
Nancy Wyi,ne, towering Aus
tralian star, against Dorothy Bum
dy, Americas No. 3 ranking player.
Bulge, shooting for the first
grand slam" in the history of ten
mis-, is favored over Wood, but he
Is likely to be pressed to the limit.
Wood Is the most unpredictable OF
players, because his game has no
middle ground. It is either SUI
perb or dreadful. 1t has been the
former in this tournament, in
which he Is playing "just for the
fun Of it," If his touch Is still keen
today the California redhead who
has dominated the courts of the
world for the past two years will
have to summon all his skill to
win.
Bromwich Best?
Bromwich has the edge over
Mako. Despite his rousing play so
far, Mako still Is better at doubles
than at singles. He Is a fine VOL
leyer and packs a fierce COMPETE
tive spirit, but the Australian has
shown too many guns to make a
victory for Gene anything but q
tremendous upset.
| With women players as inconsist-
ent as they are, flip of coin
Is as good a way as any to pick
a winner in the two semi finals in
volying what Is sometimes referred
to as the weaker sex. Day in and
day out Miss Marble will lick Mrs
Fabyan, who Is her favorite doubles
partner. But If the two girls play
as they did yesterday Mrs. Fabyar
will win, because she was on top oil
her game while Miss Marble was
well below par.
The match involving Miss Wynne
and Miss Bundy is strictly a tossup.
Each hold a victory or two over the
other. This match will feature a
pair Of terrific forehand drivers, and
the winner will be the one whose
booming forehands happen to be
creasing the lines.
Every reserved seat has been sold
and the few hundred unreserved
seats will go within 30 minutes after
they are placed on sale.
