ALICE MARBLE TO
 PLAY AUSTRALIAN
Los Angeles Blonde FavOr- ed to Defeat Dorothy
 Stevenson

Forest Hills, N. r., Sept. 14.-- (UP) Don Budge, mems defending champion, and Alice Marble, Am erica's chief feminine aspirant, will resume play today in the national singles tennis championships, hope ful of avoiding the upset jink hov- ering over the tourney.
 Both are heavy favorites to ad- vance to the quarter finals as com- petition resumes after a days post ponement because of rain. The quarter-flnals in both mems and women's divisions will be filled to- night after four matches in the mems upper bracket and four in the women's lower bracket.
 Red-Headed Budge of Oakland, Calif., meets Charles E. Hare of England, youthful Davis cup play CT. Miss Marble, a stream -lined Los Angeles blonde, engages Dorothy Stevenson of Australia. On form, Budge and Miss Marble should win in straight sets. But form has talk en a licking in this tournament, with upset victims including Helen Jacobs, Bobby Riggs, Elwood Cooke, Franjo Puncec, etc.
 From the competitive angle, prob- ably the two best matches of the day will be these: Sidney Wood of New York vs. Fanjo Kukuljevic of Jugoslavia; and Mrs. Sarah P. Fabyan of Cambridge, Mass, vs. Thelma Coyne of Australia.
 The other pairings are Bryan Grant. Atlanta, vs. Adrian Quist, Australia; Don McNeill, Oklahoma City, Okla, vs. Harry Hopman, Aus tralia; Barbara Winslow, Hollywood, Calf, vs. Katherine Stammers, Eng land, and Dorothy Workman, Rose- mead, Calf, vs. Jadwiga Jedrzejow- ska. Poland.
 Because of the days postpone ment, semi-finals in both the mems and women's divisions will be staged Saturday instead of Friday, and finals Sunday instead of Saturday. Attendance at the West Side Tennis club is expected to be boosted tre- mendously by having the wind-up on two weekend days.

AMERICAN DIVISION

All playoffs for the American Di- vision who come out with five teams tie for first place are schedule this week with the Dixies opposing the Brigades Thursday at 6:15. We wish to make a correction. Last week the paper said that the winner of Thursdays game was to play the Mill street, this was a mistake, the winner of Tuesdays game in the American Division will play Friday against the Mill street and not the winners of Thursday nights game. The Mill streets protest on the Lit- tie Giants victories last week will be settled at tonight's meeting.

GOODMAN GETS LUCK OF DRAW
 IN GOLF PLAY
Defending Champ Meets Illinois Entry Who Sur.
 vived By a Whisker
BY HARRY FERGUSON United Press Sports Editor)

Oakmont, Pa, September IA. - (UP) - The sun can flood the fair ways with silver today, but 1t will still be black Wednesday" the day that used to give Bobby Jones the jitters along the traps and greens of Oakmont where GA nerv- ous golfers start match play in the National Amateur Championship.
 It will be "black Wednesday," day of heartbreak and disappointment, because at dusk only 16 of the GA men who have a chance this morn- ing will still be in there fighting and clawing for the title. The rest will have dropped into obscurity, losers in the 18-hole matches that will be played this morning and this after noon.
 Day of Terror
 For the dark horses, 1t is @ shot at fame, @ chance to knock off some renowned player and get foot on the glory road. For Johnny Good man, defending champion, and others who already have collected a reputation 1t is @ day of terror. They never know when an unknown player is going to get hot and sweep them out of the tournament before they can get their game In the groove. Bobby Jones used to say that black Wednesday" was the most terrifying prospect in tourna- ment golf. Tn 1929 at Pebble Beach, California, he lost a black Wednes- day match to Goodman.
 The luck of the draw sends Good- man out today against Sid Richard son of Prairie View, H., who stayed in the tournament only by 8 whis- ker. He was one of il men who tied at i60 in the qualifying round, and the committee sent them out for a sudden death playoff. from the tenth tee. Only seven of the GA match play positions were open, which was bad news for four of the seven who had l6o. Richardson survived the playon.
 Not until late yesterday, near the end of the two days of qualifying rounds, were the amateurs able to beat down oakmont's stubborn par of 72. The pressure was on for l24 men, and many putt was stabbed nervously, many a tee shot strayed to the rough. But along in the af- ternoon, cool as a gangster's greet ing to a cop, came Gus Moreland of Peoria, H., and dropped a five- footer on the 18th green for @ shin ing 70. It gave him two-day total of 14e and made him medalist of the tournament. The only other person able to conquer par was little Willie Turnesa of Briar Cliff Manor, N. r., who got Il for 0 two-day total of l48.
 Graveyard Traps
 Everybody else was thrown for a loss by Oakmont's graveyard traps and men who got 77's and 78's walked around the clubhouse pat ting one another on the back. To. day the qualifying scores don't mean e thing, the slate is wiped clean and it's every man for himself.
 Moreland meets Robert Dunkei- berger of Greensboro, N. o, and Turnesa tangles with John P. Burke of Middletown, R. l., another one of those players who landed In the i60-bracket for the qualifying round and had to shoot for his place In the playoff.

DETROIT DROPS. FROM AMERICAN FLAG SCRAMBLE.
Tigers MathematicaIly Eli minated; Ruffing Wins
 2lst Game
By GEORGE KIRKsEY


 United Press Staff Correspondent)
 New York, Sept. 14-(UP)-Char- lie the Red Rufflng woke up out in Cleveland today and auxiously in- quired: T really did win that 21st game didn't Ip It wasn't a dream, was it?"
 All the Yankees hastened to rec assure Ruffing that he did pitch his Fist triumph yesterday by letting the Cleveland Indians down with eight hits in scoring a 7-1 victory. The assurance was sweet music to Rulings ears because for IS long years he's been trying to get over the 20-game hump. He's flirted around 1t several times, but some- thing always happened to halt him.
 Last year and the year before he won 20 games but he couldn't get No. 21. Now 34, Ruffing had about reconciled himself to the fact that he was just a 20-game winner, no more. In his last start before yes- terday's game he was unmercifully blosted out of the box by the Red Six in less than four innings.
 By winning his Fist game yes- terday Red Rufflng firmly es- tablished himself as the pitcher of the year, with 2l wins and losses. No other pitcher in either league comes close.
 The triumph increased the Tanks lead to l6 games and put them in sight of the promised land. They need any combination of five, either Yankee victories or Red Sox defeats to eliminate Boston and any com bination of six, either Yankee vic- tories or Indian losses to eliminate Cleveland. Detroit already Is mathe- matically eliminated.
 Kennedy Wins 18th
 The Tigers won their sixth straight by clubbing out 9-3 win over the Red Sox. Vernon Kennedy limited the Red Sox to eight hits to win his 18th game. Four Tiger double plays helped.
 Washington and Chicago divided, with the Senators taking the opener 7-l ,and the White Sox grabbing the nightcap, 3-2. zeke Bonura had a perfect day at bat, "4 for 1" in the opener, leading Washington s 12-hit attack. Ken Chase let the Sox down with six hits for his ninth win. A single by Larry Rosenthal drove in the winning run in the sec- ond game and ended the White Sox flve-game losing streak.
 The Chicago Cubs muffed Q chance to gain on the idle Pirates in the National league race by los- ing to the Boston Bees, 5-2. Jim Turner held the Cubs to four hits and won his 18th game. The Bees rapped Clay Bryant for Il hits, with Ebert Fletcher getting "4 for 4," a triple, double and two singles. The defeat dropped the Cubs four games from the top--or worse still, six games behind on the losing side. The other three first division clubs were rained out yesterday and will satge doubleheaders today with the Pirates dangling with the Giants and the Reds playing the Dodgers.
 YESTERDAYS HERO: Red Ruff fing, the ex-coal miner from south- ern Illinois, who won his Fist game for the first time in his 15-year major league career by pitching the Tanks to victory over the Indians.

confidently, messires, that there were such men
there, despite good deal of effort to keep them
