HOFFMAN, GAINS
TENNIS FINALS

berkeley, Cal, Oct. II
Q.N.S0 bewildering forty.
ninth annual Pacific Coast tennis
championships draws to q close
today in q situation which may
succinctly be described as e. mess.
Despite the galaxy Of tnterna-
tional stars, the event suffered
from almost continuous So-called
upsets. ]. Donald Bulge, Adrian
QuiSt, Jack Bromwich and several
other stars bowed to local talent
which they normally could have
beaten armed with q lady'S fan
in the opinion of tennis experts.
Harry Hopman followed up an
easy win over Bulge, which he
confessed was q complete surprise
to him, by taking a semi-final sin
giles match from Gene Smith, Pied,
mont, Cal, high school teacher
who eliminated Quist. The score
was Ga, 2-6, 6-3, 6-3.
Hopman meets Jack Tidball, Los
Angeles, in the finals today. It'd
ball beat Bobby Riggs to earn the
niche.
In the women's singles, Rene
Hathieu, of France, took the
crown by defeating Nancye Wynne,
of Australia, 81, 60.
An all-AuStralian mems doubles
final ended in victory for Hopman
and Leonard Schwartz, who beat
Bromwich and QuiSt, Is, A6,
81. 60.

ABOARD COAST GUARD CUT
TER CHELAN, OFF GLOUCES-
TER, Mass, Oct. II QNSO-The
second 36-mile international fisher
mems race today developed into a
drifting match between the Cana
dian BluenoSe and the Gertrude
L. Thebaud of the United States.
With all canvas set to catch
every bit Of a light southwest
breeze, Shippers Angus Walters. of
the defender BluenoSe, and Ben
Pine, Of the challenger Gertrude
Il. Thebaud. alternated in taking
the lead along the first IL mile leg
of the triangular course.
The Canadian was a length in
front few minutes after the start
at 9:05 a. m, but an hour later
the Gloucesterman had drifted
ahead.
Sails Of both vessels were barely
filled, and they glided along on an
even keel at hardly two knots.
At 1890 a. m, the breeze was
beginning to pick up, but at that
time it appeared that the Schoon.
erS might not be able to finish
within the allotted SiX-hour time
limit.
The weather was ideal except
for the absence of wind.
The first race was won by the
Gertrude L. Thebaud with a two
minutes so seconds margin.
Today's race was over a 30-mile
triangle and was followed by scores
of craft and watched by thousands
on shore. The first leg was a IL
mile run from off Marblchead tC

heavy scores which came out of

championship at Rodgers Forge
yesterday. Golfers seem to be
as true to reversal Of form as

HELEN shot a brilliant 79,
one stroke under the competi-

in a practice round last week she
carded a 95. MRS. BETTY

in defending her championship

rounds, while Lew took the other
three, but somehow or other the
man at the switch had it close
up until the final session. QuarleS
was never behind on this writer's
scoresheet, and on several occa-
sionS Norment seemed to know as
much and took things easy, but
he certainly won with little trou-
BILE, going away.
Despite the big advantage 1t
was an interesting battle and most
fittingly opened the 1938-39 sea-
son with a hail Of leather. Field
man, always on the go, made a
fight of it, but it was mostly q
grand4Stand play which caught the
fans, as well as the judges, fancy.
His jumping-jack tactics, sticking
in light lefts and rights to the
head and mid-riff, lacked steam,
and only twice did he land any
damaging blows. This occurred in
the fourth, when he got over q
hard right to the head, and in the
fifth, when he landed sweet
left, but that was all.
Quarles looked like champion
when he took the offensive and
began pumping left jabS to Lewis
face, but every now and then he
would stand back and let his
Scotch-Jewish rival take the lead
away from him. Whenever this
happened QuarleS ran q poor Sec
ond, but it didn't last long enough
to make him lose any more than
the three sessions.
Norment really went to town in
the eighth, his best round, and
with q volley Of left jabS, followed
by a right cross to the chin, had
Feldman in dire straits. But the
veteran New York campaigner had
his wits about him, and managed
to ease his way out Of the ticklish
situation.
The North Carolina youngster
was unmarked at the end of the
bout, while Lew had a badly
banged left eye, the result of q
series Of righthand pounding which
hit the spot along about the seV-
enth. Norment made this his tar
get the last few Stanzas, and Lew
was bleeding profusely when the
final gong sounded.
