AUSTRALIANS GET THE WORKS'' FROM J. s. L.T TIA.
Quist and Bronlwich in Same Half of Draw;
 Grant Proves Game

Forest Hills, N. F., Sept. ls-(Up) For sheer gameness and courage under Ire, here goes . strong vote for Bryan Grant, the Atlanta atom, who overcame almost overwhelming odds to keep in the running for the national lawn tennis singles chara- pionship.
 After losing the first two sets to Harry Hopman, captain of Austra- Has Davis cup forces, and trailing 0-S in third set, the Qeorgie game cock staged one of the greatest rallys ever seen in national com- petition in reeling off seven straight games to take that third set 7--S yesterday. It was here that dark ness overlook the match and the dee ciding set or sets had to be pest. poned until today.
 Grant had already been counted out by experts and fans alike when he began pulling of the most i'm. possible shots and making the most sensational "gets." Tn the 10th game with Hopman leading S-4, he beat of match point twice to retain his record of never having bowed to an Australian. He still has . tough as- signment today to keep that record clean, but it's no tougher than the one faced by Adrian Quist yester- day. Quist, who had lost two out of three sets to Johnny Doed on Mon- day, came back to take both sets and survive yesterday.
 Not So Good
 The Australian aces, Quist and Jack Bromwich, are none too happy about the U. g. L. T. A. putting them both in the same half of the draw. If both win their matches today, they will face each other in the quar- ter.final round. Both want Q chance at the title and believe 1t distinctly unfair to bring two players 10000 miles and deprive them of chance to meet In the final. To say that the U. 6. l.. T. A. would be "irked" if this happened to the pair of top- ranked Americans ct Wimbledon, is something of an understa atement.
 The Australians command tho spotlight today with Hopman con. inuing against Grant, Quist vs. Wayne Sabin of Portland, Ore. and Bromwich against dardnar Mulioy of Miami. Two other mems matches are on the prgoram with Frankie Parker of Beverly Hills, Calf, meet- Ing the cratic oil Hunt of Wash- ington, D. O., and Elwood Cooke of Portland, Ore, engaging Welby Van Horn, the up-and-coming young Californian.
 All of today's matches are for places in the quarter -finals. Tn the women's division, 1t will Do Helen Jacobs of Berkeley, Calf. VI. Nina Brown, young English star; Helen Bernhard of New York vs. Valeria Scott, another British lass; Mrs. Sarah Fabyan of Cambridge, Mass. vs. Catherine Malcolm of California; and Kay stammers, ranking British star, vs. Dorothy Workman of Los Angeles.

JOHNNY LAYTON TO PLAY LOCAL MATCH SHORTLY
Twelve Times Champion of World at Mattatuck
 ParlOrs, Sept. "A

One of the three men in the rec. ognized history of tte game to hold both titles, twelve times champion of the world tt three cushion bil- liards, and former champion of the world at pocket-billiards. Johnnie Layton will need no introduction to cue fans of Waterbury and vicinity, when he appears at the Mattatuck Billiard parlors, Sunday, Sept. 24 In an exhibition match against Lou Police, local angle expert, Match starts at 7:S0 p. m. promptly.
 Layton first ascended the pinnacle of cue heights, when in 1916 he won the worlds pocket billiard championship, defeating Emmet Blankenship in a 'hree day match for the title pi eviously won by Blankenship in a tournament com- prising such stars as Bennie Allen, Frank Taberski, Ralph 0reenleaf and many other top-flight con- tenders of that era. Switching to the three cushion billiard field, Johnnie won the title ct that style for the first time in 1919, and eith- CT winning 1t again in tournament play. or successfully defending 1t in challenge matches, the records show that he has been twelve times worlds or National Champion. He holds the worlds record high aver age for single 50 point game, 24-2S and tho phenomenal tournament grand high average of i,26 points per inning.
 His high run record Is is. Wher- ever cues arc chalked and ivorles click, Johnnie Is known aS Red" to intimateS, casual acquaintanees, and cue fans in general, and fol- lows all his exhibition matches with @ concise, easily understood iee- ture and demonstration of the pa- rallel angles system, which system uses the diamonds as c guide tor play and has been responsible for the major part of the advancement of amateur and professional play- CTS alike, Time permitting, Layton will also play c short game of pocket-billiards, "slay" you with c few anecdotes selected from his va. ried experiences, and generally en- certain by reason of great personal charm and affability.

Today's Sport Parade
BY HENRY McLEMoRE (Unlted Press Staff Correspondent

New York, September is. - (Up) - There are only two things of which I am absolutely certain.
 one Is that no man ever got the book he wanted from circulating library the first time he asked for 1t, and the other Is that Lou Nova will beat Tony dalento when they fight in Philadelphia Friday night
 The Californian can't miss win. nlng. If money weren't the root of ail evil, and If gambling weren't drowned on in my circle, I'd 90 down there with everything I could beg, borrow, and shake out of baby's bank and bet 1t on Nova. The report from Philadelphia Is that the good burghers of that city, out of admir- ation for dalento, have made him an even money favorite and are will- ing to put up c dollar on him for every Nova dollar that appears. My, I wish I weren't so strait-laced, because, boys, that is not only tak- ing candy out of c haby's mouth 1t Is taking the candy out while the baby isn't looking, or when he is busy adjusting the ribbons on his cap.
 Looks Easy
 Let me explain why I am so pos- tive of 6 Nova victory. In the first place, dalento can't hit any more, He proved that in the fight with Joe Louis. Tony nailed Louis with clean left in the first round, his very best left. Two or three years ago c similar punch from 0alento would have knocked down anything that walks on two legs. Tn the third round daiento hit Louis again, right smack on the profile, and with everything he had, Granted that the blow knocked Louis off his feet, but the champion scarcely took c count and came up to take the fight from the belligerent bartender. Now that Isn't hitting. Louis can't take much of Q punch. Everybody knows that, So, if Tonys best punch couldn't flatten Louis. how can any- one expect 1t to fiatten Nova. Lou can take 1t, as you well know If you saw his fight with Max Baer. Baer clipped Nova with six successive right hand swings in the sixth round and barely slowed him down. fad even Tony's best friends wouldn't tell him that he hits any harder than Baer.
 No Work?
 Furthermore, Galento doesn't fig- ure to hit as hard against Nova as he did against Louis. The beating he took from Louis just didn't do him any good. Besides, he hasn't trained as well for this fight as he did for the shot at the title. And he wasn't any model of department then as his manager, Joe Jacobs, ad- mitted after 1t was all over. da- lento is likely to be a quick bleeder

ROCKINGHAM PARK
 WILL OPEN MONDAY

Salem, N. H., Sept. l2 The fall racing season in New England will start at Rockingham Park next Monday when c 30-day fall meet- ing will get away from the starting- gate under the auspices of the New Hampshire Jockey Club.
 Purses amounting to $22b, 900 will be distributed during the 30-day meeting, and 1t is already certain that New England will have the finest fall season since racing was inaugurated ct the old Rock seven years ago. The fall meeting of last year was, in certain ways. disastrous, because of the hurricane that blew Jockey Warren Yarberry out of saddle in the home tore . large part of New England up by the roots, and made roads impass- able.

in the Nova bout. The cuts Louis inflicted haven't completely healed, else why would he have spent an hour each day soaking his features in c solution of brine9 It isn't be- cause he likes brine, beer being much more to his taste.
 Nova has many advantages over Galento. He is younger, stronger, in much better condition, and, never having had c shot at the champion. ship, probably much more determ. ined. Tony has had his whack ct the title and nearly got killed. Lou may suffer the same fate when he makes his challenge, but he doesn't know that yet.

 TOOK SIX LIVES
Veteran MOtOrman in BOs= ton Escapes Death But
 C0llapses at Home

Boston, March 1-(UP)-A veter- an motorman suffered a nervous breakdown today and a district court judge postponed for two weeks hearing of a manslaughter charge against him in connection with a runaway trolley car wreck that took six lives.
 Edward F. Hanley, 57, for g years an employe of the Boston Eleveated Railway, "is in an extremely ner- vous condition" railway counsel informed Judge Richard M. Walsh. Hanley was said to be confined to bed at his home and under the care of Dr. James J. Lynch.
 With consent of Police Captain Thomas C.. Duggan, Judge Walsh continued the case to March 15, Hanley remaining free under $2,O00 bond posted by the railway.
 Driver Escapes By Miracle
 Almost miraculously, Hanley es- capped injury late yesterday when his loaded trolley car, it's air brake disabled by a broken spring, ran wild on. Sever street, Roxbury, and crashed against two trees on Blue Hill avenue.
 The railway already has exoner- ated Hanley of blame for its worst accident since presidential night in 1916 when a car crashed through gate at an open draw and plunged into Fort Point Channel, drowning 45 persons.
 Its air brake useless, the car in yesterdays accident plunged madly down an incline, leaped the tracks at curve, careened wildly across the street sideswiping a moving automobile and crashed against two trees.
 Two of the victims died in the car and the other four, hurtled through door by the impact, were crushed when the car toppled over on them. At least 27 other passen- gers were injured, none severely.
 "An inspection of the car showed that slide valve spring in the air brake relay valve had broken" Edward Dana, president and general manager of the Boston Elevated Railway, said in a formal state ment.
 "This has never occurred before. The car had operated nine trips yesterday without difficulty. The re- suits of the investigations thus far made indicate that the track was in good, safe operating condition"
