Alice Marble Is Seen
As Easy Winner al
East Hampton
Breaks Vow in Playing
At Place Where 1885
Illness Sturted
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
EAST HAMPTON, N. Y, Aug. q
A lot of feminine tennis players who
cover the Maidstone Club invitation
tennis trophy wish Alice Marble
hadn't changed her mind.
In 1885 Alice vowed she'd never
come back to East Hampton to play
another game of tennis. That was
after she was forced to play 108
games in one day, against her
wishes.
She cracked up after that-reg-
istering a fever and contracting an
illness from which she didn't fully
recover for over year.
But she's back now, the accepted
worlds woman champion-and her
work yesterday, as she made her
belated tournay debut, showed that
any one who beats her is going to
have to show more tennis than any
one has shown to date. She swept
through two opponents and lost but
two games in four SETS
Stepping along with her was pref
ty Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fabyan, who
also entered the quarter-f1nal round
by virtue of pair of easily won vic
tories. The first two seeded players
thereby drew alongside Helen Hull
Jacobs, seeded No. 3, who had to
win only one match to enter the
round of eight.
The major catastrophe of the day,
among the seeded stars, came in
the foreign sector. where Nine. Syl-
via Henrotin was ousted by Virginia
Wolfenden of San Francisco.

Old Fox did not allow this success
to turn his head.
"We need outielders, infelders
and two more starting pitchers, ~
Griff said, fatty. Most of his critics
even the severest-fgure that
just one more pitcher, to go with
Leonard, Chase and Krakky would
be enough. But Griff says two are
necessary.
I'D like to dig up another winning
left-hander," he explained, land
another right-hander. I'm partial to
left-handers, especially now. We had
plenty of southpaw pitching in 1924
and 1925 and again in 1888, which
are the years when Washington
won pennants. I like 'em now, es-
pecially, because three of the four
best teams in the American League
are fair prey for southpaws. I mean
New York, Detroit and Cleveland"
Where Griff is going to find an
other southpaw is something else
again. There are none to spare in
the American League, even for re-
lief roles. Obviously he will have to
develop one, as he did Krakauskas
and Chase. The same goes for the
right-hander. But before this sea-
son is over Griff is going to pull a
flock of rockies from farm teams
inflelders, outfielderS, catchers and
pitchers who throw both with their
left and right arms. It may be that
he will find something he likes.

Reds Far Above Cubs

NEW YORK, Aug. 2 (NANAD.-
Two months stretch ahead of the
major league clubs as they swing
into Augustine months in which,
baseball being the most uncertain
of games, anything can happen. But
the Yankees and the Reds are
streaking along in front and the
betting is that they will meet in
the World Series in October.
talked with some of the Yankees
about the Reds the other day.
Naturally. the Yanks have had scant
opportunity to look at the Reds. An
exhibition game or two in the South
last spring and the all-star game
have afforded them the only
glimpses they have had of their
potential foemen.
But in those games the Yankees
saw enough to convince them that,
II both teams break through to win,
they will have harder time in the
series than they had last year, when
the Cubs went down with but a
slight show of resistance.
One thing I learned quickly by
talking to the Yanks. The players
who most impressed them were Paul
Derringer, Ernie Lombardi Frank
Mccormick and Ival Goodman. I
talked to Joe Mccarthy, Bill Dickey
Joe Di Maggie and a Yankee who
used to play every game-and now
sees every game from the dlgOut-
Lou Gehrig. And all had the same
slant: The main strength of the
Reds lies in those four players

Virginia waters at Winter Quarter
Lightship, and there is some merit
in this claim. But Ocean City was
first with the marlin fishing and
the majority of boats leave from
there and return the fish there.
Chincoteague for two days
recently claimed a world rec
ord of 10 marlin in one boat,
the largest number ever taken
in one boat in one day.
John Cass, Florida professional
fisherman, was the one who made
that catch. 1t didn't last long,
though, because Ocean City made a
tremendous effort and two days
later it had II marlin in the one
boat. The town might benefit by
all the publicity attending catches
of that sort. The immediate loser
is the poor fish. They can't begin
to spawn rapidly enough to make up
for such catches, especially when 1t
is realized that they don't grow to
60 or 80 pounds overnight. 1t takes
many a season. So unless they are
careful over there the day may
come when Ocean City is like it was
five years ago-a place to 90 for por-
gies and black sea bass.
But marlin fishing now is big

Public Not Informed
On Complications,
Says Harridge
Minor Club Would Ask
Compensation, Move
Would Be Gamble
BY TOM SILER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2-President
William Harridge stepped forth to-
day to dispose neatly of all this
talk about moving the St. Louis
Browns of the American League to
another city.
Discussing for the first time the
many reports that a realignment of
cities in the circuit was contem-
plated, Harridge said there def
nitely is no move on foot to move
the Browns or any other team in
the league to another city"
Poor attendance in st. Louis this
season has inspired much talk of
transferring the Browns or the
Cards of the National League to
some other city Milwaukee and
Kansas City of the American As
sociation have been mentioned fire.
quently as possible big league sites
Others have suggested that Detroit
should have two teams, as do New
York, Boston, Philadelphia, St.
Louis and Chicago.
Complications Not Understood.
"Of course it is entirely possible" 4"
Harridge added, that in the dis
tant future a different setup of
clubs might be arranged, but such
move certainly is not imminent.
The general baseball public pos
sibly does not realize the many
complications which would arise in
the transfer of a club. You couldn't
just move into city, regardless of
whether it had a minor or major
league team already.
I'm the interest of fair play we
would have to see that a minor
league would not suffer if we took
one of their towns. But if a major
league team did want to take over a
town already occupied by minor
league team, first of all the minor
league would have to be compen-
Sated.
Calls for Big Investment.
Then the minor league club in
volved would have to be compen-
sated reasonably for moving else
where. If the interested parties were
unable to agree on sum, then Com
missioner K. M. Lands could be
called upon to set a price.
by the time the major league
team satisfied these claims and built
park of big league proportions, its
investment probably would total
more than a million dollars. And
even then it would have no assurance
the team would draw better there
than elsewhere.
so you see there's quite a gam
BILE involved. On the other hand
no club could go into a city already
having big league club without the
permission of the team already
established there. 1t goes without
saying this permission would be ex-
tremely difficult to obtain"

the erection of electric fences but
some other states do. Wisconsin has
established standards of safety for
controlling devices to be used on
fences in that state. Devices which
are approved for use in Wisconsin
are safe for use in Ohio.
Mr.. Blauser says it is unfortunate
that distrust in electric fences have
been aroused by those which have
caused accidents through faulty con-
struction. This new type of fencing
will not entirely replace old types
but it has definite place on farms.
Farmers who have used electric
fences in Ohio have found that dry
weather reduces the effectiveness of
some fences, weeds or brush which
touch the wire will short-circuit the
fence and make it useless while
grounded, and the fence does not
control sheep well. Operation costs
run from Is to 25 cents a month
on the lis volt type.
The University engineer advises
farmers to accustom livestock to the
electric fence by a training period
in the barnyard. Animals which
have learned to respect the fence will
afterwards eat grass from beneath
it without ever touching the wire.

Death Leans Scythe
On Homemade Fences

The growing popularity of electric
fences in Ohio causes |. p. Blauser,
specialist in rural engineering, Ohio
State University, to repeat a pre-
vious warning that homemade devices
for controlling the current in these
fences may turn them into death
traps for livestock or human beings.
The electric fence has two units,
the wire to conduct the current and
a controlling device to energize the
wire. The controlling device if prop
erly constructed according to ap-
proved safety standards may cost
anywhere from SIS to $45.
One of the desirable features of
the electric fence is its comparative
ly low cost, and farmers sometimes
try to minimize this cash outlay by
using some cheap device to control
the current in the wire. None of
the homemade controls inspected by
Mr.. Blauser have been safe.
Ohio records show numbers of
livestock and one human being killed
by electric fences. This sacrifice
was made solely for the sake of saw
ing money because a property con-
structed electric fence will not deliver
a fatal shock The controlling device
is the vital factor in making the
fence safe.
Ohio does not have laws to control
