AS an observer of sports cham
pions of all sorts, and for many
years, Mrs. Moody is the only one
l have ever seen who apparently
does not know how to lose. Most
champions have a spark that makes
them want to go down fighting
Ruth always swung three times
Dempsey alway got off the floor
Glenna Collett always sank the last
putt.
Perhaps Mrs. Moody has won SC
much that she has never had time
to learn. how TO lose. Perhaps those
of us who never have been cham
pions can't understand the gall in
seeing another toasted in victory.
Certainly no champion Iii history

the loss of even set. 1t made news
when she lost a game.
Now, in the twilight of her career
she obviously finds 1t hard to walk
out on court knowing that she
has no more than an even chance
Of victory. Most champions ask nc
more of the gods than $3.50 break
Mrs. Moody it seems, is happy
only when the scales of chance are
dipped much heavier toward her.
Such an attitude protects hei

Lack of Smart
Hurting Reason
For Sore Arms

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 26. CUP)-Gro-
yer Cleveland Alexander, the old
warhorse who pitched through &c
major league campaigns without
once developing sore arm, today
blamed lack of intelligent hurting
and the urge to bust fences for the
current epidemic of bursitis and
other ailments among pitchers.
Alexander listed four reasons tor
the ailing arm problems: The bur-
den added to the pitching arm by
the increased number of heavy
hitters; the lost technique of in
telligent pitching; the lively ball
and improper treatment of pitch
ers' arms.

Singles championship at Forest Hills
next month.
Who knows but what she Is saving
herself for the veterans champion
ship2 In two years she will be 35
and eligible for play in this matron-
ly division of tennis. My guess is
that when Mrs. Moody starts playing
in the veterans division, where the
competition is on the stout and
short winded side, she won't miss
a. tournament. She will be cinch
to win every year and retire the
cups as fast as they are put up.
Her entry blank will beat even Mrs.
Abou Ben Ahdem's in.
Frankly, can't understand the
surprise occasioned by her refusal
to enter the Forest Hill list and os-
sibly another joust with Helen ia
cobs. The other night all of the
tennis writer's who believed she
would enter held a buffet supper
in a telephone booth, and there
was room for all. The only surprise
her decision not to play furnished
was the cause-neuritjs. We all be-
lieved that sacro-iliac ailment
would be honored.
After all, why should anyone ex-
pect her to play at Forest Hills?
She hasn't brought her composed
cCuntenance onto any court in this
country since that fateful Septem-
Der day in 1888 when she defaulted
to her rival, Helen Jacobs, in the
final set of the final round.
All of her play has been done

Advantages of the valley for
training baseball teams were sung
louder in El Centre Friday as
seattle's Rainier baseball team
continued its climb toward the top
Of the Pacific Coast league.
Winner In six out of seven games
against Sacramento last week, the
Seattle club made 1t three in a
row over San Francisco Thursday
when Paul Gregory and Hal Tur-
pin turned in victories.
The win tightened Seattle's hold
on third place and moved the Raj
niers to within six games of the
Los Angeles Angels, and only three
games back of second place Sacra-
mentans.
AT the present pace Seattle
should be only four or five games
behind the Angels at the end of
the week. The schedule favors Sc
attic in series during the next two
weeks. Hollywood and Portland, in
sixth and seventh spots, will en-
tertain the rampant Rainers.
Seatte's touted hitting power has
at last shown itself. Hutchinson,
Barrett. Gregory, Turpin and even
Pickrel are turning in good mound
performances. That should be a
warning to the league leaders.
Padres Fade
San Diego Padres, however, the
other valley favorite, is not faring
SO well. The Padres are getting
good pitching but the San Diego
batters are not hitting the ball.
The Padres are one game and a
half out of the first division and
apparently are fading fast.
Dominic Dallesandro is the only
player who has hit consistently
during the past month, and one
big bat isn't enough to win ball
games, no matter how good pitch
ers are.
