only would crack this modern mark of games lost in one year, but would make a bold bid for the all-time mark of i34, set by Cleveland in 1899.
 But Morris Arnovich has wrecked this beautiful dream. Arnovich, who apparently lacks the true Philly spirit, has been hitting at tremen- dous clip all season. With a callous disregard for the teams welfare Ar- novich has led the leagues hitters, and 1t appears that he must be traded or sold before the phillies can become the complete and utter door, mats of the league. Time and again this season Arnovich has thought lessly stepped to the nate and vNn a game for the club after his team mates had appeared to have lLsY 1t beyond redemption. How long the other players on the club will stand for this sort of thing is problem atical. It is very trying for team to have one man spoil terribly played game and snatch defeat from It's very grasp.
 FOOr PrOthrOs
 When the time comes for the elec- tion of new captain of the Phillies the players are going to be hard put to decide between Max Butcher and Al Hollingsworth. These two pitch- CTS have contributed wholehearted- ly to the misery of the team and are due lions share of the credit for the teams having such'a firm grasp on last place. In nine starts Hollingsworth has fought through to nine defeats and Butcher while he slipped up on two occasions and won games, has made than atoned for these lapses by pitching Il beautiful defeats. it
 This is Doc Prothro's first year as manager, but the team has more than fulfilled his expectations. He came to the Phillies knowing 1t was the weakest baseball club in the league, but in less than three months of play the team has gone out of its way to show its new manager that 1t not only was the weakest in the National League, but also might well be the weakest in the Three-Eye or the Evangeline twilight loops.
 A stranger to the team, Prothro has done well to keep 1t as low as 1t is. Next year, with knowledge of the teams strength and how to subdue 1t, Prothro should have lit- tie trouble in guiding 1t to new and worse records.

 Amateur Action
 From the amateur angle, there is wealth of talent ready to show in- cluding Joe Wallace and Billy Per- rin; Sam Craig and Popeye O'Coin; Tommy Tucker and Dick Shaeffer: Johnny Devore and Joey Marcus; George Harmon of this city and Jimmy McDonough, Steve Duke and Joe Morelli of Naugatuck.
 Perrin and Wallace is the return go many local patrons of the ring sport have been waiting for, sine. they saw Wallace score a TKO vii over Perrin three weeks ago, when the Bristol boy was cut badly above one eye but not before one of the best slugging- on local records had been put on. Wallace, tough as a shark, with skin and head to match exhibited left-handed punch- ing power that finally gave him the edge over Perrin, one of the hardest hitting middleweights ever to show in 6 Connecticut ring, and which kept him as state champion for two years.
 Devore and Marcus ought to be a hummer, with the Bridgeport boy as the probable winner, though Mar GUS never puts up a bad fight. win or lose. Tucker and Craig boxed last night at New Haven and are in good shape for their local showing.

ARGENTINA GOLF. STAR LEADING. B BRITISH OPEN
Pose at l43 Brue n Skids - Bulla, Little Were Shaky

St. Andrews, Scotland, July S. (UP) Martin Pose of Argentina took an early lead today in the sec ond round of the British open gol! tournament while Americas twt stars fought desperately to qualif, for tomorrow's final two rounds.
 Pose, who was one stroke of thu pace set yesterday by three Eng lishmen and a South African, bagget himself a one under par 36-36-7. day for 36-hole aggregate of 143
 The next ne. ..rt t finisher was Da' vid Isees of England who had 36' 38-74-145.
 The weather was dull and cool and @ strong southwest wind whipped up the last nine holes. The falleries were small.
 James Bruer, the young Irishmar who won the qualifying medal with a pair of 69's, slumped to 37-38- 75 today for an aggregate of l47.
 By nightfall the field, now at l29 will be cut to A or less. The low A today qualify for the last two rounds tomorrow. Any players tied for the 44th place will not qualify.
 Johnny Bulla of Chicago, one of the two American still in 1t, rounded the turn tn 37. Bulla had Il yes- terday and was on the danger line along with Lawson Little of Breton Woods, N. H., who scored 79 today. Gives Up
 Bulla went one over par with 8 five on the first when he needed three puts. He had a birdie on the third-his only sub-par hole on the first nine-when he dropped a nine- foot putt. He went one over on the ninth when he hammered his ap- proach shot through the green.
 Before he started, Johnny said he had no hope of qualifying.
 "1'h just going out to play myself" he said.
 Bulla toured the back nine in 34, three under par, for n and an ag- gregate of l48 taht looked like 1t might enable him to qualify.
 Bulla was in better form today than he was yesterday when he scared to 77. His irons weren't click ing but his driver, longest of the tournament, were going out 275 and 300 yards. On the last nine he re- found his putting touch. Locke Tn
 With about 6 third of the field home, Pose continued to hold the lead. Bobby Lock, the 2lyear-old South African, moved into the 145 bracket with a 36-3e-75. Locke had a seven on the 14th where he hit his tee shot out of boundsc and a six on the l7th where he was trapped.
 Alex Kyle of Wales, the current British amateur champion, came home with a 37-39-78-l50. It was almost certain he would not qualify. Bob Sweeney, the American-born amateur who is now an Englishman. had 37-38E75-149.
 Indications were that score of 149 CT better would be good enough. That meant that Lawson Little of Breton Woods N. H.. the other Am- erican contender, would have to score a 70 or better today to make 1t. He had 8 70 yesterday.

New York, July 6,-(UP)-Riding the crest of nine-game losing streak, the Philadelphia Phillies are out to clinch last place in the Na- tiona League before mid-July and confound those critics who said they couldn't accomplish the feat before August.

If their pitchers can just keep from falling into winning slump, and their batters fight of hitting streaks, there is a good chance that the team can immortalize itself by breaking the record of 117 games lost in one season, which was estab- lished by the Philadelphia American League club in 19l6.
 Philly followers have long been jealous of this mark made by the Athletics. They have coveted it for their own team for many years, and Doc Prothro. manager of the Phil- lies, could own the town if only he could inspire" his boys to point where they could better 1t.

Wimbledon, Eng, July 6.-OUP)- Elwood Cooke, the Portland, Oregon, boy who upset the dope to provide Wimbledon with it's first All-Amer- ican mems singles final since 1881 today credited the coaching of Tom Stow for development of the bril- liant backhand that enabled him to survive the deadly volleying of Hen- ller Henkel in the semi-finals.
 When Cooke meets Bobby Riggs of Chicago for the 59th all-England sngles title on the center court to- morrow, 1t will be the firstt ime two Americans reached the final since Prank Shields had to default be- cause of an injured ankle to sid- i1ey Wood.
 T certainly am delighted to have beaten Henkel because I've heard so much about him." Cooke said, land the man I've got to thank most for reaching the final in my first Wimbledon attempt Is Tom Stow, my coach.

 "I've always tried to model my backhand on Don Budge's and Stow gave up most of his valuable time in California to make my backhand what 1t is. Before played Henkey, I was advised never to make a move toward the net unless was certain I had the right ball, because Hen- kel is an expert on passing shots. l was advised to force the play through my backhand which cer- tainly didn't let me down"
 The Oregonian displayed a cable gram he received from Stow after he and Riggs had reached the semi- finals. Tt was an inspiration to me-" he said. The message read: Know you and Robbie can do It."

THOMASTON SPORTS
(BY JACK WATERs)

Harry LynchS Legion nine cele- brated the fourth by dropping both ends of a double header, losing the morning tussle to South Manches- ter, ii to 6, and then wasting 12 hit attack to bow to Canaan, 4 to 3, in the afternoon. After the opening battle, Manager Lynch gave his boys one of his frey pep talks which are written by his private secretary whose identity IS closely guarded secret. The speech, however, failed to produce the desired results and the locals finished the day with 8 double defeat.
 Middlebrooks hurled the morning contest but his wildness kept him In constant trouble. Charley Keeley, with only a days rest worked the Canaan game but ragged support and the inability of his teammates to hit in the pinches proved too great handicap.
 Congratulations are due J. Dwight Perley for his interest and untiring efforts in promoting sports and other social activities in the Seth Thomas factory. Due to the work of Perley, Seth Thomas has been changed from a drab, colorless, fac- tory into one which now has a year round sports program and an ath- letic association. A bowling and soft ball league is now in existence and plans are being made to organize a basketball team in the fall. Perley's latest innovation is monthly publi- cation which contains all the fac- tory sports news as well as other items.
