CREENbERC HAS TOUCH TASK TO
 MATCH RUTH 50.
Odds of 7 to 1 Against De- trOit Star Who Has an
 Outside Chance"

New York, Aug. 31-(UP)-The odds are 7-1 that Hank Greenberg won't break Babe Ruth's home run record of 60.
 Hank said so himself today.
 These people w;lo are taking the short end of 2-1 bets that break Ruth's record are crazy" con- fided the tall, black-haired Bronx boy who plays first base for, the Detroit Tigers. i've got an outside chance, that's all. Every day 1t gets tougher and tougher for me to get a homer.
 ''The pressure is on me from all angles. Take the other day in Bos- ton. We are leading the Red Sox, 11-1, in the ninth inning and l come to bat against rookie picther named Baker. The first pitch he serves me is right at my head and I have to go down into the dirt. If wasn't after Ruth's record he would never have thought of try ing to dust me off"
 Still in There
 Don't think that Greenberg has given up on his chance of smashing Ruth's record.
 T have 45 homers now" said Greenberg. That means I have to hit 16 more in 8 games. hope to hit one each in New York, Chi cago and St. Louis in our road games. We have A games left at Detroit and I'd have to hit 12 there to make 1t an even 60 Then I'd have to get one in five games at Cleveland to top Ruth's record. It's awful leasy to talk about 1t but 1t just don't pan out that way. Of course, my big chance is to get hot like I did in late July when I hit eight homers in six games in five days"
 Catchers and other players have started to ride Greenberg in an ef- fort to throw him of his stride but he pays no attention to them.
 "rn Boston Catcher Peacock tried to get my goat and had to laugh at the outcome" said Greenberg. First time up I lined to Cronin. Next time up the ball accidentally hit my bat and I popped to Foxx. Then the thir dtime up Peacock said to me, Hank. you're standing closer to the plate than usual, aren't you? I hit the next pitch for homer and when I crossed the plate, Peacock said, Well, I guess I talked you into that one.'"

BAUCH MARKED MAN TONIGHT
 IN GRID GAME
Washington Redskins and College All-Stars Tangle
 at Soldiers Field

Chicago, Aug. 31.-(UP) = The odds were to today that Slingin' Sammy Baugh of Washington's world champion Redskins would outpass Byron (Whizzer) White or anyone else in the fifth annual charity All-Star game tonight un- der the hoodlights of Soldier Field.
 The Whizzer, a passing, running, kicking genius from Colorado, is the chief offensive hope of the collegiate squad picked by 8,00o,0o0 fans in a nationwide poll.
 But remember Baugh? His touch- down pass last summer gave the All-Stars their only victory of this series. And his stunning barrage of passes in the bitter cold last win~ ter, perhaps the greatest perform ance ever seen, routed the Chicago Bears, 28 to ?, in the National league playoff.
 Baugh will be a marked man and the All-Stars mark them well. In previous games they manhandled big Bronko Nagurski of the Chicago Bears, kept Earl (Dutch) Clark of the Detroit Lions well covered and last year completely stopped Arnold Herber, one of the best forward passers in the league and spark plug of the Green Bay Packers.
 |. What defense coach Bo McMil- lin of Indiana and his staff of four have worked out to stop Baugh has been kept secret. It may be tricky. Bo usually is. His five man back field at Indiana is an example of that. One thing is sure, Baugh will be rushed as he hasn't been rushed since he left Texas Christian uni versity.
 Retirement of Cliff Battles, last years league leading ground gainer, left Washington weaker on attack. Injury to Ed Justice and Don Irwin, two other veteran backs, also hurt.
 But the All-Stars also were trlne weaker. The starting squad lacks balance. There is a weakness at the tackles and injury to Marty Schreyer of Purdue made it worse.
 Both Schreyer and Perry Schwartz, California's great end, will be unable to play. Fred Shirey, Ne braska tackle, will replace Schreyer and John Kovatch of Northwestern likely will start at Schwartz's end.

Vines, Tennis Star Qualities For U. s. Golf
BY LESLIE AVERY United Press Staff CorrespOnden

United Press Staff CorrespOndent)
 New York, Aug. 31.-(UP).-Ells- worth Vines, the chap who made his name and his money in tennis, was back in the amateur class today one of 156 qualiflers for the national amateur golf championship Oak mont, Pa, Sept. 12-l7.
 Ely" now 26, won the U. s. and Wimbledon singles tennis titles in 1882, turned professional the follow ing year, earned tidy fortune, then decided he liked the links better than the turf at Southampton and Newport.
 His 150 score at Los Angeles yes terday was only ordinary, but it was good enough to win the next to last of five places available there and to collect a wager of $50 from his tennis pal, George q was champion chisler) Lott, that he would qualify for the 1888 amateur golf champion ship.
 His score was ordinary" because 1t was 16 strokes higher than two others of the 868 hopefuls who shot 36 holes in an attempt to qualify. Over the same Los Angeles Country club links, Roger Kelley, last years medalist, carried 134, eight strokes under par. His 66 over the first 18 equalled the competitive course record for the course.
 The other 134 was turned in by Ven Savage, comparatively un- known from Maga, Utah. This was 10 strokes under par for the Salt Lake City course and two strokes better than the 136 of his fellow townsnan Edwin Kingsley, who won the other qualifying berth in the district.
 Surprise
 Five members of the 1888 U. S.. Walker cup team qualified, but one of the two alternates on the squad failed. He was Don Moe of Port land, Ore, who shot 151 at Seattle. The other alternate, Tommy Suffern Taller, had the same score but he qualified easily in the New York dis trict where Is places were available.
 Bud Ward of Olympia, Wash, had the best among cuppers, shooting a 138, eight under par. The others to win places were Fred Haas, Jr, who had 140 at New Orleans; Reynolds Smith 146 at Dallas, Chuck Kocsis 149 at Detroit, and Ray Pillows, last years runnerup, 150 at New York.
 Notable failure in addition to Moe, were George Voigt, former Walker cupper; Gene Homans, final ist against Bobby Jones in 1880; Spec Goldman, flnalist against Law son Little in 1884, and Wilford Wehrle, former western amateur champion.
 The 156 who qualified join IA exemptions, making total field of ITO. Automatic qualifiers were Johnny oodman, defending cham pion; British amateur champion, Charlie Yates of Atlanta, four for eigners and eight former holders of the amateur title.

'bUDCE DUE FOR L|CK|NC' SAYS
 AUSTRALIAN
Hopman Hands Teanl= mates Verbal Victory
 Over Yanks

Philadelphia, Aug. 31-(UP) = Australia will win the Davis Cup this weekend because Don Budge, strong -man of the American team, is due for a licking" Harry L. Hop- man, captain of the team from down under predicted today.
 Hopman said the law of averages will be working against Budge when he swings into action Satur- day at the Germantown Cricket club in opening singles matches of the best of five-match series.
 The United States is counting on Budge to provide two singles vic- tories and then pair with Gene Mako to win yne doubles-enough to keep the cup in this country.
 "The pressure on Budge is so great right now" said Hopman, that he must feel it. He's due for licking"
 Hopman was one of but few of the experts gathered here who be- lieved Australia had a chance. Many felt that the United States would win perhaps 50 in the first challenge round held in this coun- try since 1927 when France took the cup.
 Off Form
 Backing Hopman's prediction was the fact that Budge is suffer- ing from slight cold. He and Mako arrived yesterday and worked out on the courts of the Merion Cricket Club along with Bobby Riggs of Chicago, Americas No. 2 singles player and Joe Hunt of Los Angeles a spare.
 Budge said "the sun and little work" would quickly cure his cold.
 Hopman, expanding on his the ory, said that Mako was not a top- notch doubles player despite the impressive victory he and Budge handed the Australian team of Adrian Quist and Jack Bromwich in the finals of the national dou- bles championships last Saturday at Chestnut Hill, Mass.
 "Mako's service is not strong and his return is not so good" Hopman said. "As to volleying, Winner AL 'ison of Austin, Tex, Is much bet ter. But then. any doubles team with Budge on 1t is bound to be good. Just don't forget that pres sure on Budge."

Special Correspondent of The Star.

NEW YORK, Aug. l7.--Lou Ambers
finally walks under the hammer of the
hammerer tonight at Madison Square
Garden.
There will be the usual difference
of opinion as to his condition when
the hammering is over. but the ma
jority verdict remains just as it stood
a week ago when the deluge arrived.
The heavy odds still belong with
Henry Armstrong, with the belief that
Ambers will give the hammering one
harder fight than Barney Ross could
put together. Armstrong still carries
too many gloves into action. While
he isn't killing puncher, his un-
broken fusillades do the human frame
no good in any way
We have letter from an indignant
fight fan about the rating of Arm
strong and Greb as busy workmen.
The indignant fan takes the angle
that Greb was the fastest and busiest
puncher the ring ever knew.
Greb could turn on innumerable
flurries that were loaded with action.
But Greb also had his resting spots.
Armstrong; assault is one continued
furry from start to flnish-a furry
no one has been able to handle
through his last 38 stampedes.
Evening star., 1938-08-17
Armstrong Declared to Top
Creb as windmill Scrapper

Ambers, in my opinion, doesn't
punch hard enough to keep Arm
strong away. Lou may land his share
of punches, but they are not loaded
with the same amount of poison. After
all, Armstrong has won 36 Of these
last 38 encounters with knockouts. So
he must be using something more
than a feather-duster or custard
pie. You don't commit the brand of
assault that Armstrong has been dish
ing out with a slap on the wrist.
I saw both Baby Arizmendi and
Barney Ross go the limit with Arm
strong. He failed to stop both men.
But I also saw the battering both men
took. Both needed all they had to
60 the route They soaked up punish
ment as morning buds soak up the
early dew.
Arizmendi finished with a cluster
of knots and cuts planted all over his
rawhide frontispiece. Ross took an
even harder beating.
Ambers is hard man to stop. Lou
is dead game and full of Stag iron. He
may go the limit but, unless a dis
tinct upset reports in the ofing, he
will finish with a full share of
humping.
