with Hank Greenberg hitting his
47th home run. Three games now
stretch their length between the
Nationals and fourth place. The
Nationals are 612 games ahead
of the Chicago White Sox, who are
in sixth place.
Lou Gehrig, the miracle man Of
all time in baseball, had one of
his semi-occasional perfect days.
For the second time this season,
"Larrupin' Lou got four hits in
four times at bat. One Of them
was not too rugged. Travis might
have fielded the ball if he had
broken with the pitch. Beyond
the very happy incident Of making
four hits in row and scoring a
run, Gehrig played his 2100th
consecutive game. And that's a
lifetime's work in any league.
CHANDLER VS.. MONTEGUDO
Dutch Leonard pitched game
that should have been won. Gehr1g
got his four hits, but Tom Hen
rich was the only other Yankee to
get in a blow. He singled in the
first inning and gave no more
trouble for the day. Dickey was
robbed of a hit by Ossie Bluege's
jumping catch of line drive, and
Selkirk twice flied almost to the
barriers. In the seventh his fly
scored DiMaggio with the first run
of the ball game.
Bump Hadley pitched fine ball
for the Yankees. and was sup
ported in major league style.
frankie Crosetti, that great little
shortstop of the Yankees, played
his usual smooth, faultleSs ball.
Crosetti handled nine chances and
Gordon handled five.
Spurgeon Chandler looms as the
Yankee pitcher today with Rene
Montegudo, the Cuban youth. the
probable Washington selection.
Montegudo showed a fair variety
of stuff against the Boston Red
Sox q few days ago, striking out
nine men, including Jimmy Foxx.

'DUPRE TO STAGE
final DRILL FOR
ARCHIBALD BOUT
BY HOWARD JACOBS

| his final workout this afternoon
at the National Boxing Club, SIG
Morse Street, for his 10-rounder
featherweight "feud" battle with
Joey Archibald, the Patent Leath-
er Kid of Providence, which takes
place Monday night in the Grif'
fifth Stadium ring.
Turning in an impressive work
out Yesterday. few hours after
his arrival from New York, the
flashy Italian expressed conf
dence that he will knock out"
his rival, in a match that may go
on record as the official worlds
126-pound championship.
DROPS SPARMATE
Tony worked eight rounds yes
terday before an interesting au-
dience of 200 spectators. He boxed
two rounds, jumped rope, gave
the big bag a going over and
topped off the days workout with
calisthenics. His favorite spar
mate, Happy Harland, from his
home town, traded socks with
Tony, and Tony amazed the gather
ing with his perfect timing and
hard punching. He had Harland
staggering most of the time and
sat him on his panties no less than
three times. Twice it was a left
hook-his favorite-and the third
time a right cross to the chin
dropped his sparmate.
After a rundown and lengthy
shower, Dupre explained the tao
tics he will use Monday.
Il know I can beat him, but
I'm shooting for a knockout.
And I think that I'll come
through. My manager and my
self have planned this battle for
weeks. I'm going in there and
set terrific pace, and, knowing
that Joey is a very slow starter,
I'll have him so tired by the
time he usually gets going he'll
be so exhausted he'll want to sit
down and take a rest. And
that's where I come in. I'm the
guy that's going to assist him in
taking that reSt-with hard
left hook to the chin, and it'll
be all over. Just wait and see"
LOCAL FANS IN DOUBT
After the workout the boxing
faithful in this city seemed to be
in uuandary over their selection.
Up to yesterday they figured
"Archy" would come through
after q tough battle and make it
IL straight here. But now it's a
different story, and the boys just
don't know who to string along
with.
Tony will engage in three
rounds of boxing today, and is
willing to meet all comers that
will volunteer their services. pro-
viding CT course that Matchmaker
Goldie Ahearn approves. The
drill is again set for 2 o'clock,
and it will be the public's last
chance to see the italian in action
until bell time Monday night.
Archibald, according to reports
from New York arrived in Gotham
yesterdays day ahead of time
and worked five rounds against
Allie stoltz, a fast rising 130-
poun1er. joey didn't look any
too good in the gym workout, and
that always seems to be the case,
but it IS expected that when the
bout gets going he'll be there
swinging away with the old TINT
in both fists.
Promoter Joe Turner's ticket
men report the largest advance
sale for any tight in this city in
quite some time, and it is now
anticipated that the battle may
even reach as high as $4,000 at
the box office.

More Predictions

More Predictions
I make the prediction that OF
the five Washington entrants
and the three Baltimore repre-
sentatives-oTTO GREINER,
SPENCER OVERTON and
ERNIE CALDWELL-the two
golfers who will make the best
showing in the nationals will be
BOBBY BROWNELL and
SPENCER OVERTON.
Both players are splendid at
match play. BOBBY has this
season been right in the groove
and OVERTON is the most con-
sistent, with the possible excep-
ton of MILLER B. STEV1N-
SON, the 58-year-old Columbia
Country Club veteran.
The other amateur highlight
Of the golfing year is the wom'
ems national event at Wilmette,
III. Next week all roads lead to
the Westmoreland Country Club
where the golfing ladies of the
land will get in their practice
rounds for the championship
starting on September 19.
MARION BROWN of Manor
and MRS. MYRON DAVY of
Congressional entrain for Chi
eago this coming Tuesday. in
order to have a good three days
practice over the unfamiliar
layout. Up to train time,
MARION BROWN plans to con-
tinue her daily lessons with AL
TREDER, while MRS. DAVY
may generally be found on the
practice green at Indian Spring
or the fairways at Congressional
during most daylight hours.
On to Wilnlette
MRS. BISHOP HILL Of
Chevy Chase has spent her sum-
mer at Shawnee, and she takes
with her to Wilmette the ex-
perience gained by continual
practice on the championship
Binniekill course.
HELEN DETTWEILER, the
fourth and last Washington
representative at the nationals,
Is already on the spot in Chi
cago, where she is broadcasting
baseball reports for General
Mills. HELEN'S game this sea-
son has not had the workout
that her fellow-townswomen's
golf strokes have had. Her job,
which has carried her junketing
from town to town all summer,
has given her opportunity for
only fourteen rounds OF golf
during the entire trip.
OF the four Washington ladies,
therefore, MARION BROWN
looks like the one to stage any
possible upsets. At the Mason
Dixon event recently MARION
didn't show her best golf, but,
with expert coaching and intelli-
gent practice since, she should
now be back in the groove. MRS.
MYRON DAVY is comparative
newcomer to the game travelling
to her first national event and
will be in there trying.

CONTRACT
 BRIDGE

It is a sound general rule to avoid 8 finesse as long as possible, and some information may point to a better line of play. The declarer on today's hand was Dr. Louis Mark of Columbus, O. AS 1t happened, East could have saved prof1tably in four hearts, but fear of an 80-point Cor greater) set kept him silent.
 The opening lead was won with the king in the South hand, East played the ten. Dr. Mark could see nine tricks if West held the spade king, but he decided to run out the clubs before committing himself to that line of play. If the spade finesse lost and West had 8 five card suit, the game would be de- feated at once.
 With only one club, East had to begin discarding. He gave up the heart seven, then the three, next the diamond jack, and on the fifth club he dropped the heart five.
 Dr. Mark drew the correct in- ference that East held both the king and jack of hearts, and was hold ing one diamond to return when he
