that his work will be crowned with
success.
A few of the outstanding features
are wrestling match between old

who haven't met on the carpet in
two decades, and an escape by Mys-

vault, handcuffed and in a sack.
It's a good trick.
Leon Batten and squad of
guards from the Federal Works
Agency will give an exhibition of
jiujitsu, and Detective Sergt. Dick

Probably the high spot of the

Connie Mack sold Simmons
when he was blooming. The
White Sox got $4,000 from the
Tigers for him in 1885. The Tigers
shipped him to Washington for
an unannounced sum in 1887.
Last December the Bees got him
for $1,000 after clubs in both
leagues had declined to pay the
$500 waiver price.
Now the Reds have him for an
unannounced price, but undoubt-
edly less than the waiver figure.
If he helps them bag the pen
nant, he'd be a bargain at any
price. Anyway, it's q great break

By Loop President
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO, Sept. 2.-Everything is
peaches and cream once more be-
tween President William Harridge of
the American League and Manager
Jimmy Dykes of the Chicago White
Sox.
Harridge recently gave Dykes a
blistering rebuke for his wrangling
with umpires after the Sox pilot
had been tossed out of a game for
the sixth time this season. The
prexy accompanied his remarks with
a three-day suspension, which Dykes
now is serving.
Dykes answered that managers
had no chance to defend themselves
and asked to be heard.
Harridge heard him today in a
brief pre-game conference, attended
also by Supervisor of Umpires Tom
Connolly and Harry Grabiner, Sox
vice president and business manager.
There is no feud between Dykes
and the American League" Harridge
said afterward, nor between him
and its umpires.
What most managers forget when
they get to squabbling with umpires
is this-that once they're put out of
the game they should retire to the
clubhouse Immediately"

Reading, Pa, wasted no strokes. His

Trophy for U. S.
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press SPORTS Writer.

HAVERFORD, Pa, Sept. a.
Stunning their confident opponents
with twin victories in the opening
singles matches, the United States
Davis Cup tennis forces virtually
routed the Australians at the outset
of the challenge round at Merton
Cricket Club today.
Bobby Riggs started the invaders
tumbling by vanquishing their
champion, Jack Bromwich, Cd,
60, IS, and then frankie Parker
applied the crusher as he outlasted
Adrian Quist, 6-3. 2-6, 6, 1-6,
Is. in long. bitterly fought duel.
The double setback left the chal-
lengers in a desperate position, re-
quiring that they sweep the three
remaining matches tomorrow and
Monday if they are to take the big
trophy back to the antipodes.
Hope to Clinch Cup Today.
They had expected no worse than
an even break today and had even
envisaged shutout of the admit
tedly weak American team.
Jubilant at their unexpected sue
cess, the defenders were determined
tonight to capture tomorrow's dou-
bles and clinch the cup. Capt. Wal
ter Pate said he would send his two
young firebrands, Joe Hunt and
Jack Kramer, against Quist and
BromWich tomorrow The Aus
tralian duo was favored, but after
what happened today the critics
agreed that anything was possible
Riggs, ever an enigma, treated the
crowd of $500 to probably the great
est exhibition of his career in slap
ping down Bromwich. Young Bobby
really rose to the heights.
Riggs Carries Play to Net.
Usually a determined base liner,
he chose this occasion to unveil a
rampaging net game and a fierce
service that nobody knew he pos
sessed. 1t was tough on Bromwich,
but treat for the crowd.
In the second set the flabber-
gasted Australian made only seven
points as Bobby had a field day.
The third set saw Riggs do his
familiar loaflng act until Bromwich
had won the first four games and
then Bobby again turned on the
heat to win seven of the next eight
and wind up the match.
Parker Outlasts Quist.
Things were harder for Parker,
but in the end he rose to the oc-
casion nobly. At times, particu-
larly in the fourth set, Quist came
near blasting the stolid Frankie
from the court
The Australians game was far
more fierce and spectacular, but
Parker just kept poking the ball
back until Quist wilted.
Neither had a service worth men,
tioning. There were, in fact, "a
breaks of service in the match, and
most of the rallies strictly were
patty cake.
Still, it was exciting when the two
grim youngsters battled to A and
SIS in the deciding set.
