HUNT POINTING
FOR SEM|-F|NAL
AND HIGH RANK
Win Over Mako Will Aid
New Star-English Girl
May Take Title

Forest Hills, N. Y, Sept. l5.-(UP)
Gilbert A. Hunt and Margot
Lumb, the dynamite twins who
rocked the tennis world with their
victories over Bobby Riggs and Helen
Hull Jacobs on Monday, return to
the wars today In quarter-final
round matches Of the national sin
giles championship.
Hunt, a mathematics student at
George Washington university, al
ready has figured out what victory
over Gene Mako today and a place
In the semi finals would do for this
national ranking. No better than
10th In the standings now, win
over the Davis Cup doubles ace
would be certain 10 earn him o
berth In the big ten.
This match should provide the
sharpest tennis Of the day. Mako
has found himself as a singles
player In this tournament, and, In
defeating Franjo Puncec In straight
sets Monday, played q brand Of
tennis that would have bothered
even the great Don Bulge himself.
In fact, Bulge thinks very highly
Of Mako as a singles performer and
says that he Is the best flrst set
player In the business. No matter
who wins, there will be nothing dull
about the Hunt-Mako engagement.
Both men use the volley as their
chief weapon, and charge the net
on nearly every shot.
A Conner
Miss Lunih, tabled by many crit
les as the next champion, plays the
Australian ace, lanky Nancye
Wynne, and II past performances
mean anything she should win.
These two have met four times this
year and hard-driving Margot has
taken three decisions.
In the other women's matches
Dorothy Bundy, third ranking u.
s. player, meets that crafty cham
pion OF France, Mime. Rene Matthew,
and Dorothy probably will be sing
Ing california, Here Come" after
II Is over. Mime. Matthew looks as
little like O tennis champion as
anyone you ever saw, but her fore
hand chop Is q deadly weapon, and
what she doesn't know about the
game isn't worth knowing. The
California girl will have 10 play
better than she ever has before 10
stay In the running
In the remaining mems singles
skirmish two Davis Cuppers-Joe
Hunt Of America and Jack Brom-
wich OF Australia--come together.
This should provide the highest
class tennis Of the day. Bromwich
Is favored, because he Is the No. 2
ranking player In the world. How
ever, he will have his hands full
with Hunt.
Today's play will Ali the upper
half OF the womens semi finals
and the lower half Of the mems.
The round Of four win be completed
on Friday, with the semi finals down
for settling on Saturday and the
finals on Sunday.

TIE IN LEAGUE
Double Win Over Pirates
Puts Terrys "In There;
Cubs, Cards Win

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
Inlkad preea STAFF Corresnonfla n,


New York, Sept. 15-CUP)-Bill
Terry now wishes he hadn't said
that his Giants couldn't win the
pennant.
The undiplomatic Giants master
mind, who is variously known as
Terrible Terry" Vinegar BILL
and the Cherries Leader" earnest
ly wishes he hadn't quit on his ball
club the night OF Aug. "a when they
were leaving Chicago for st. Louis
on the last leg Of their western Jour-
ney.
The reason Is that the Giants may
win the National League pennant
after all.
Terry deemed the Giants cause
hopeless that August night In Chi
cago. A newspaperman said TO him,
"Itll be tough catching them tthe
Pirates) now-six games behind"
Terry said, "Catch what? The train.
Well be lucky II we don't miss II the
way we're going. We're out OF It,"
Later In Pittsburgh Terry con-
coded the pennant TO the Pirates
and said. IF they don't win the
pennant they all ought TO quit"
Terry Is now trying TO tell some OF
the boys he didn't say these things
or, anyway. II he said them he
didn't mean them that way. Because
the Giants yesterday kicked the
Pirates In the Stats twice, 80, and
1913, and today were tied with the
Reds for third place, only liz
games from the top.
Pittsburgh. with perhaps the
worst case Of filters since the teams
famous slump In September, 1927.
looked all through as they caved In
before the Giants yesterday. Hal
Schumacher, pitching with a Clipped
elbow bone, BANKED them, 30, on
seven hits In the opener. In the
nightcap the Giant s slugged Ed
Brandt and Bill Swift for eight runs
in the first two frames and Harry
Gumbert coasted TO O 1913 victory.
On the Slsids
The Pirates have now lost eight
OF their last II games. Their seven
game lead entering September has
melted away. Over this stretch the
Pirates have had only two pitchers
80 the route and win. To complicate
matters Bob Klinger, the Pirates
steadiest pitcher, has o sore arm
which prevented him from pitching
yesterday and Red Lucas Is away
from the club because OF the serious
illness Of his wife.
Gabby Hartnettis homer with the
bases loaded enabled the Cubs to
triumph over the Boston Bees, SO,
on SIX hits. Charley Root allowed
II hits but was stingy In the pinches.
Casey tSengel protested the game.
