there is feeling anything Can happen.
Ken Chase, winner of one of Wash

Yankee Stadium, will open the series
tomorrow against the world champions.
Chase will try to repeat his 4-to-2 VIC
tory of last Wednesday in the first
game Of a double header. In the
nightcap Bucky will try Joe Kra-
kauskas. keeping Elon Hogsett in re-
lief. Harris sticks to the theory that
his left-handers are the best bets
against the Yankees. although he will

SERIES Leonard has two consecutive
fine performances behind him.
l3-to-2 win over Boston and 7-to-1
victory over Chicago.
Kelley Pitches and Hits.
The Mats seventh straight triumph
over the Red Sox in the home park
was strikingly similar to the first two
games of the series. They hoped to
an early lead and won drawing away.
Kelley was something more than the
pitching hero. Harry also swung
surprisingly potent bat, driving across
three of the runs. In the second in
ming, with two out and the bases
loaded, Bill Harris put two strikes
across on Harry. But the baldish
veteran hit the next pitch to center
for a single and the Mats had q
2-to-0 load.
The Griffs got another in the fourth,
when Cecil Travis doubled and was
pushed across on infield outs, and they
wound up with two runs in the seventh
and another brace in the eighth. En-
erson Dickman gave up the last two
runs last of which Kelley drove across
with another single.
The Sox made only a single offensive
gesture of any note. In the sixth,
with one down, Harris and Rog Cramer
singled and, with two out, Jimmy Foxx
singled home the pitcher with his only
hit of the series. .

DISTRICT GOLFERS
SET FOR BIG TESTS
City Title Event and U. S.
Amateur Preliminary to
Climax Campaign.
By WALTER McCALLUM.

Although there will be only one
major title tournament for the simon
pure par-seekers of Washington dur
ing the coming fall season, the boys
who want to 60 places in amateur
golf are working harder than ever
pointing toward a series of affairs at
Congressional, on results of which the
season will be marked down as a sue
cess or bust.
Congressional will be the hot-spot
of golf locally during late August and
late September. The sectional rounds
for the amateur championship will
be played there on August 80. and
three weeks later the District amateur
title tourney will be held over the same
course.
Ten years ago return of cool weather
was the signal for revival of links
activity among the amateurs. But it
isn't so nowadays. The District anna
teur tournament is the lone title
affair scheduled for the simon-pures.
But that doesn't mean they aren't
concerned about golf.
National Amateur Attracts.
There has been a great revival Of
interest in the national amateur cham
pionship. even though it's a matter
of record that no local entrant has
done anything much in the big tour
nament since Roger Peacock went to
the third round at Cleveland in 1885
Last year the championship was held
at Portland. Oreg., and the boys passed
it up with gusto. Billy Shea was the
only Washington player to make the
trip. This year the championship will
be held at Pittsburgh. which isn't too
far away. and the boys are getting
excited about it. Even though they
haven't much chance to go anywhere
they consider it an honor to play and
to qualify, if they can do it.
Shea will defend his District anna
teur title at Congressional in the
tourney to run from September 81
through the 23d. Always tough GUS
toner over his home course, he will
be the man to lick, and he will come
close to topping the field in the anna
teur sectional tests August 80.

Youngster Is Mediocre as
Japanese Are Defeated.
Germans Next Foes.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MONTREAL, Aug. 15.-Australia
will oppose Germany in the Davis
Cup interzone finals at Brookline,
Mass, late this week, but whether
they will go on to the challenge round
against the United States seems to
denend upon Jack Bromwich.
Bromwich, the l9-year-old, two
handed racquet swinger, became the
question mark" of the whole affair
when he failed to win either of his
singles matches in the American zone
final against Japan.
Due to the steady work Of Adrian
Quist. Australia won the series, 3 to 2,
to qualify for the interzone series.
There's considerable doubt, however.
that Quist will be able to carry the
entire burden against Germany's pair
Of Henner Henkel and Georg Won
Metaxa.
Quist Wins Clincher.
Quist clinched the series yesterday
when he took a hard match from
Jiro Yamagishi, 6-4, Ga, 2-6, 81.
Then BromWich. who had lost his first
singles match to Japan's No. player,
battled to a draw with little Fumiteru
Nakano and finally defaulted after "a
games of the fifth set to save his
strength and avoid the possibility of
an injury. Nakano had the edge most
of the way, winning the first and third
sets, and the scores stood at 81, Is,
Ga. 3-6, l2-l2 when Bromwich
finally gave up at the urging of Capt.
Harry Hopman.
Hopman revealed that he had want
ed the youngster to default after one
set as he had strained a thigh muscle
early in the series He didn't insist,
however, until Bromwich took a bad
tumble He said Jack hadn't suffered
any i'll effects and would be ready to
oppose the Germans when the series
starts Thursday
Yamagishi Is Tough.
Quist had to be at his best to beat
Yamagishi in the deciding match, and
he was. He outsteadied the jap
anese. whose speciality is steadiness,
and beat him in the prolonged base
line exchanges. Yamagishi picked up
"A points on placements, but as often
he failed to nick the lines or clear the
nets and committed 1913 errors.
Yamagishis passing shots were very
effective in keeping Quist back, but
the Australian rose to the occasion
when the odds were against him. He
pulled out the second set after trail
ing IA and in q series of deuced
games that marked the wind-up of the
fourth, he won nearly every time,
When the score went to 7-7. he
pounded Yamagishi's backhand stead
lily and finally polished him of on the
fourth match point with smash
that bounced into the stands.

There are couple Of important
events coming of in the clay-busting

One Of the most interesting races in
this latter meet is the champion Of
champions event.
1t Is open only TO the winners
and runners-up in the various
State and provincial tourna-
ments that precede the Grand
American.
To win a State tourney a shooter
generally is called upon to attain
from 81 to 100 per cent in the 200
target events. Last year five cham
pions arrived at Vandalia with per-
feet scores. So far this season there
have been perfects in only two States,
Pennsylvania and Indiana. Parker

GIVE MIKE JACOBS
LESSON IN HIS lob
Bobby, Odds Against Him on
Drop, to Rest While Don
Plays at Newport.
BY DREW MIDDLETON.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

RYE. N. Y, Aug. 15-The United
States Lawn Tennis Association could
give Mike Jacobs lessons in match
making, so Robert Riggs and j. Donald
Bulge, the best two amateur tennis
players in the, world. will not be seen
together on the court until the finals
of the national singles championship
at Forest Hills next month.
Bulge will play his first competitive
singles since he returned from England
at Newport this week. But Riggs. who
yesterday won the Eastern grass courts
championship from Joe Hunt. will not
be there. He will be resting at the
order of Walter L. Pate. the man who
captains the Davis Cup team.
For Bobby is potential cup team
timber. if not the finished product
So. despite the fact that a Riggs
Bulge match is the only one the fans
want to see, he will rest while Bulge
exhibits the best backhand in the
game and his flawless timing at New
port.
Riggs His Only Rival.
With Baron Won Cramm in prison
and Fred Perry and ELY Vines on the
professional side of the fence, Riggs
is the only one who figures to give
Bulge any sort of tussle. He was a
long shot when the season opened, but
as he has fought to IS victories in 10
tournaments. the odds have dropped.
No one knows just how far this
iron-sinewed Chicagoan can go. He
never was in danger yesterday, beating
hunt, Ga, 6-3, 3-6. 10-8. A year
ago in his big test" match against
Won Cramm in the semi-finals at
Forest Hills he was prone to over
work and it was obvious he couldn't
pace himself.
Yesterday he didn't waste any shots
or any energy He found he couldn't
beat the active Hunt at the net so
he went back. to the baseline, and
With the fluent integrity of play
that belongs only to the finished player
knocked the match out of Hunts
hand with whistling placements
Essex Next for Alice.
Alice Marble, who efficiently dis
posed of Dorothy Bundy in the wom-
ems finals at Rye yesterday, goes to
Manchester, Mass, for the Essex
Country Club tourney. Her victory
yesterday demonstrated once again
that Alice stands alone when the field
doesn't include the two Helens. Moody
and Jacobs. They won't be at Man
chester, but they'll be at Forest Hills.
Once Miss Marble got under way,
Miss Bundy was helpless. Alice won
nine straight games and the match,
rs, 60. Her powerful service and
competent volleying had Miss Bundy
stopped, and the latter never got a
chance to use her best stroke, her fine,
full forehand.
Burge and Gene Mako were on dis
play in the Eastern tournament dou-
bles, but they didn't exert themselves
any too much and ran into a bit of
difficulty conquering the smooth team
of Hunt and Sidney Wood. 80, 81,
