TO DURABLE LOU
Finishing 2,000th Game in
Row, Says Loafing Would
Burn His Energy.
By DREW MIDDLETON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, June Thirteen

Dempsey was heavyweight champion,
Charlie Paddock was the worlds fast
est human, people were talking about
Rogers Hornsby, Flying Ebony, the
-Four Horsemen and the Dolly Sis
ters-and a fresh-faced kid named
Henry Louis Gehrig pinch-hit for
Pee Wee Wanninger of the Yanks.
The next day he replaced Wally Pipp
at first base
He still is there He was there yes
terday, playing his 2,o0oth consecu-
tive game. helping the Yanks beat
Boston. He will be there tomorrow.
He is as much a part of the Yanks
as the stadium.
Considering the starts and stops,
the throws and slides, the hot days
and the cold ones, 1000 is a lot of ball
games. But Gehrig doesn't think it
has done him any harm.
Strain Doesn't Tell.
"n I'm out of even an exhibition
game, I'm nervous" he says. Some
of the fellows tell me to take a couple
of days OF. I'd burn up more energy
doing nothing, fishing or hunting,
than I would playing ball.
If the strain was going to tell on
me it would have told the last two
years, wouldn't it?" Lou asked. well,

Lou has seen couple Of generations

Walter johnson, Eddie Collins and
Grover Cleveland Alexander were
around when he broke in. He payed
in the shadow of his idol, Babe Ruth,
for 10 years, then emerged to be rec
ognized as the greatest first base
man of his time, perhaps of all time.
Homer OF HubbelI Thrills.
His biggest thrill? The home run
he hit of Carl Hubbell in the world
series of 1896. That beats even the
time he walloped four home runs in
one game.
There are q lot of things to say
about Gelirig: His 1877 hits. his

johnson Upsets Shore.
The big surprise Of yesterdays mems
matches was the near straight-set de-
feat Of third-seeded Frank Shore by q
lad still In Junior ranks. johnson was
no long-shot against his older oppo-
nent, but he had four match points in
the second set before he prevailed
finally at rs, 4--6, 6-2. Shores
chop stroke didn't worry johnson as
1t had three previous opponents and
the underdog thus chalked up his first
major victory in year during which
he hopes to make his presence felt in
senior circles. Whether he can beat
either Farrin or Robinson, who
graduated from Annapolis and West
Point, respectively. in the late 20s
and who have had nearly 10 years of
Leech Cup service Is another question,
Again performing in a manner
which led his college coach. Les
Bopst of the University of Maryland,
to say that he was at the top of his
game, Ritzenberg polished of Ray
Stocklinsh, 60, 6-1, to enter the
semis. Considering that Stocklinsh
can cause trouble for almost any net
man in the city, the scores were all
the more impressive. Ritzenberg's
forehand is a new and dangerous
weapon and his drives are skimming
the net with only inches to spare. He
may be menace for Lynch on Friday

Stopped again, he then moved to be-

solitude. But when another spectator

INDIANS HARDPUT
ON EASTERN VISIT
Cubs Lessening Dominance
of Terrymen as Major
Picture Changes.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, Jr.,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

A new picture of the major league
situation is on display today as the
leaders of the two circuits start into
foreign territory and old Lou Gehrig
starts another thousand or so con-
: secutive games.
Iron HosS" Lou, playing his 2,000th
game without a miss, and those big
Memorial Day crowds pushed a few
other important items into the back
ground during the last two days.
Now it's coming to light that the
Cleveland Indians and New York
Giants aren't out there all alone as
they were a short time ago.
The Yankees, as attested by their
doings of the last two days, are COM
ing right along in old-time form, and
Chicago's Cubs are doing just as well
The Indians and Giants haven't
shown many signs of slipping, but
they don't have far to fall.
Yanks Prey on Red Sox.
Although the durable Gehrig, who
broke into the Yankee lineup I3
years ago today, didn't have much to
do with it, the Yankees really be-
gan to show their mettle in the just
concluded series with the Boston Red
Sox. On Monday 83,s29 fans came
out to see the Yanks move into second
place with a double victory over the
Sox. Yesterday they consolidated
their position by whipping Boston
again, IL to 5, in the only game on
the big league program. Lou hit a
homer Monday but only single yes
terday.
Homers by Tommy Heinrich and
Bill Dickey started the Yanks off to a
80 lead yesterday, but Jimmie Foxx
wiped that out in the fifth by belt
ing his 18th homer of the season with
the bases full. Then, while Johnny
Murphy gave Boston only one hit
hit in the last 4 2-3 innings, they
proceeded to blast FootSie Marcum
and Fritz Ostermueller right out Of
the park. Marcum departed after
giving three runs, including a Red
Rolfe homer, in the sixth, and Oster-
mueller and Emerson Dickman yield
ed the last four in the eighth.
Tribe Misses Hemsley.
That's a sample of the kind Of
thing the Indians, minus the valuable
services of Catcher Rollie Hemsley,
will have to face in the East. The
Tribe opens at Philadelphia today
against the Athletics. who are up in
sixth place after winning four of their
last five games. Then comes Boston;
Washington, where the Nationals have
been beaten only five times in 81
games, and finally the Yanks.
In the National League the Giants
go West with the memory of double
shut-out administered by the Boston
Bees Monday and the knowledge that
the Cubs have racked up 10 victories
in their last 13 games. Before tackling
the Cubs, however, the Giants meet
the uncertain Pittsburgh Pirates and
the fourth-place Cincinnati Reds.
The Cubs begin their home stand
today against Boston, Cincinnati tao
kles Brooklyn, and the St. Louis Car
dinak entertain the Phillies. Wash
ington, up in third place game ahead
Of the Red Sox, faces the Chicago
White Sox, the Yanks take on De-
troit's Tigers, and Boston plays the
st. Louis Browns.

Lobs and VoIIevs

Maj. c. w. Christenberry, president
OF the District Tennis Association, was
to get letter today or tomorrow rec
ommending junior and boy rankings
based on last seasons play. In the
case Of the No. player in each class,
however. neither will compete in that
division here this year.
Tom Walden, The Stars boy cham
pion of 1887. will be the No. l boy,
but now is 18 years old and will start
the City of Washington tournament
Saturday as junior. Harry Heffner,
who mopped up among the local
juniors last summer, is not in town
Only one question arose over the
fanking of the juniors, rated for the
most part on the final Junior Davis
Cup rankings for '37.
That was over the problem of
whether David johnson or
Harry March should be ranked
second.
On the j. D. c. ladder March was
ranked third and johnson fourth
IAllie Ritzenberg was second but was
over the junior tournament age linn
it,. March and johnson met in two
tournaments and split even, johnson
winning one in the spring and March
the last one in the fall. The fact
that johnson had won rather con-
vincingly, in contrast to the record
which showed March had been forced
to come from behind to win in five
sets, left question which was set
tied by rating the two equally as the
second ranking player.
Otherwise, ranking were as follows
Junior Singles.
No. /, Harry Heffner; Nos. 2-3,
David johnson and Harry March; No.
4. Billy Turner; No. S, Doyle Royal;
No. 8, Miguel Nunez; No. Z, Jack
Hoyt; No. 8, Harry burst; No. g.,

No. /, Tom Walden; No. 2, Maurice
Cowan; No. 3, Dick Williams; No. 4,

No. 8, Harold Titus; No. Z, Chandler
BroSsard.
Boy Doubles.
No. l. Cowan and Walden; No. 2,
Brossard and Titus; No. 8, Richard
son and Walsh.
The ranking committee had one
more tournament to base its findings
on than last year, for the District As
eociation sponsored competition for
juniors and boys in addition to the
annual Star event. The rankings rep
resent combination of the records In
the two tournaments, plus Junior
Davis Cup ratings. Dick Williams,
the third-ranked boy, was the only
one not found on the j. D c. ladder.
Williams is an Alexandria boy, but
went to the finals of The Star tourna-
ment, where he gave Walden a good
match.

Introduced to the rectangular ring
of players by w. Kurt Wimsatt, local
lite who likens chess to other sports
but elevates the game to the pedestal
Of art, Reuben Fine, 24-year- chess
grand master, American born, literally
cleaned up in hurricane fashion the 81
boards that confronted him at the
Jewish Community Center without the
loss of game and conceded only one
draw in 2 hours and Is minutes of
play, the fastest simultaneous exhibi-
ton yet given in the Nations Capital
Among the kleiner meisters A. Cen-
ker is the Adonis, Herman Steiner the
nonchalant, Samuel Reshevsky the
precise machine,
Fine neither is an Adonis nor a SCI
entiflc automaton. Speedily he hurls
himself along on the balls of his feet,
making his moves with well-timed ac-
curacy toward maintenance of an open
game with plus positional advantages,
and for every opponent he has faint
smile.
Gazing with inscrutable eye into the
countenance of each eager adversary.
Fine reads what he finds there, makes
his move accordingly, and you are i'm
pressed with the human quality OF this
master who combines chess strategy
of the highest order with shrewd un-
derstanding of the mental psychology
of his separate opponents.
Fines personality was stimu-
lating to sophisticated and BIZ
zarre Washington.
1t engendered spirit of friendli-
ness and the contestants mellowed as
the grand master paced swiftly, max
ing his round of moves.
From a social aspect the Fine ex-
hibition was the most congenial wit
messed in the last three years, and Al
bert w. Fox, Kurtz Wimsatt and I. S.
Turover, who sponsored the event, are
to be congratulated.
