Sixteen Year Old Tennis Prodigy to Give Up Game
 For Medicine

New York, July 20.-(UP)--Earl Bartlett, Jr., 16 and only Q month out of a New Orleans high school is the most promising tennis pros- pect to hit the eastern circuit since Don Budge blazed out of Califor- ria, but the wiry little Dixie dandy will hang tip his racquets for good after this season to devote all of his time to the study of medicine
 Bartlett won the attention of the east when he blasted Sidney B. Wood, former Wimbledon champion out of the eastern clay court cham pionships yesterday, 5-7, 6-3, 6-3.
 Of course, I'll play tennis to keep in shape" Bartlett said today, "but once around the big spots will be plenty for me. I want to become a doctor, not a tennis bum. I am go- ing to enter Tulane's medical school in the fall, and I know I won't have time for both, 80 tournament tennis is out.
 Tennis critics here declared that he has a firm foundation in all de- partments, and that the glories of Wimbledon and Forest Hills could be his with bit of perseverance.
 He meets Martin Buxby of Miami in the quarter-fin tomorrow. Only three singles matches were on to- days program, most of the schedule being devoted to narrowing down the doubles field.

MOTORCYCLE RACES
 TOMORROW NIGHT

The long awaited team match be- tween the Connecticut Yankees and the New Jersey Lions will headline Friday nights motorcycle racing program at the North Haven Speed way. As an added attraction Red Lemery of New Preston, a member of the Nutmeg squad, will attempt to ride Q cycle through a burning building.
 The visiting cyclists will be explained by Jack Parr of Newark and the squad numbers Tom Hal back, Harold Gomez, Bill Normyle and Bud Elliot, with one other rider either Dick Peters or Jim Larding due to complete the lineup.
 Because of a serious injury suf- fered by Fred Marsh, the Hartford veteran who had been named cap- tain of the Yankees, @ change will be made in the lineup of the home- track riders. Kenny Brower, Red Lemery, Curtis Hewitt, Matt Kee- vers, Leon Mckinney and either Owen Quell or Brownie Betar will complete the team.
 Each rider will oppose every mem- Der of the rival squad in a round- robin series with the team amassing the highest total of points on @ 3-2- 1 basis winning.
 All the riders in the team battle plus @ host of others will also com pete in the pro scratch event of seven races.

Today's Sport Parade
By HENRY McLEMORE United Press Stan Correspondent)

New York, July 20.-(UP)-The sun isn't 50 bright today. There is Q moan in the breeze, and even the local birds sound Respondent.
 Skies are tinged with gray, trees droop sadly, and life hardly seems worth the living.
 Know why2 I'll tell you. Colonel William Terry of the New York Giants is getting his bumps. Lov- able Memphis Bill, the warm -heart. ed scion of the deep south, is hay. ing his troubles. t
 For the first time that many oi us can remember Colonel Terry is without a song on his lips, smile on his face, and happy, hearten- ing gleam in his eye.
 To see Colonel Terry Respondent Is as depressing as 1t is unusual Warmth, friendship. the cheery clasp of hand, all go with him as naturally as the horn goes with a COW, the comb with a rooster.
 Now, for the first time since he took over the management of the New York Giants, he is seriously troubled with his team. Gradually 1t has been falling apart until, today, 1t can only be described by borrow ing that lovely French phrase "all shot to help.
 Shuffled Around
 Tn the game with the Pirates yes- terday, which they lost for the un- enviable record of five successive de- feats, they presented a lineup that resembled nothing so much as a cryptogram. A substitute first base man was on the mound. A right fielder was at third base. A center fielder was in right field. A second baseman was at shortstop. The only Greek in baseball was at sec- ond base, and second string catch CT was behind the plate.
 Tn the press box, suffering al the sight of such a team. were the sportswriters. Acknowledged to be among Terry's closest friends, they sat and wept silently into their hot dogs as mild, sweet William tried to bring order from his chaos There was scarcely a dry eye among the writers when the Giants lost, so

deeply did the boys feel for the disheartened leader of the Giants.
 There was only one consolat ton for them and the fans. If there is any man who can bring the Giants to the top riddled as they are, Terry is the man. His sweetness of char acter, his outward softness, mask a mighty baseball intellect. Students of such things say that in his head Terry has more brain cells than any baseball manager in history, and Terry, probably to prevent a discuss sion that would offend his modesty, has never denied it.
 Big Chance
 In a way, those of us who love and adore Terry should be glad that the Giants are in such dire straits. Be- cause the situation will afford Terry the opportunity to show, once and for all, his vast baseball powers. For the first time he will be able to master mind at full tilt. For the first time he will have the op- portunity to prove that 1t is not the players who make @ winning team, but the skill and sagacity of the manager.
 It has long been Terry's belief that there were no breaks in base- ball other than those created by the men themselves. He has always discounted luck.
 Come, sweet William, and prove to those scant few who do not class you as baseball's mightiest man. ager that you are. Don't let us down. Win that pennant-or else 1!

 Chestnut Hill, Mass, July 20- (UP)-Jack Crawford, once the worlds top-ranking singles player, meets third d-seeded Gardnar Mulloy, University of Miami coach, today in battle for the single remaining sami- finals berth in the 47th annual Longwood Bowl tennis tournament.
 Crawford startled the tennis world in 1883 by taking three major titles, only to drop a heart-breaker to Eng lands Fred Perry in the United States championships. He played superbly yesterday to vanquish for- mer national titlist John H. Doeg of Runson, N. J., Q two-time winner here.
 The 31-year- Australian vet- eran from down under" was cool and precise as he fought Doeg's cannonball service and tricky chcops to win, 6-2, 5-7, 7-5.
 Australian Davis cupper Adrian Quist and Gene Mako of Los An- geles, Calf, respective top seeds in the foreign and domestic lists, ad- vanced to the semi-finals with rou- tine triumphs over youthful Califor- mia opponents. Quist, ranked sixth internationally, defeated Larry Dee, a Stanford freshman. Mako trimmed southpaw Ronald Edwards of San Jose, Calf.
 Slight Surprise
 They were joined by unranked Bob Low, No. man on the Stan- ford team who continued to upset advance predictions as he eliminated sixth h-seeded David Freeman os Pas adena, Calf. Earlier, Low had put out second seeded Gilbert A. Hunt, Jr., of Washington, D. 0. Semi final matches will be played tomor- row and Saturday.

BY HUGO HOOKJAB

Tonight's the night, the corner of Meadow and Bank street N the place, Dick Turcotte and Joe Triano are the boys that everyone wants to see fight it out" in main bout that has been hanging fire" for weeks and was finally arranged when rival managers tossed up Q nickel and 1t landed on its edge.
 Tho natural Waterbury vs. Nauga- tuck athletic rivalry dating back more than a quarter of c century comes to the fore once again, as Triano, the f-augatuck boy, is irn- mensely popular with the folks from the Rubber Ttw from Eddie Ahearn to Pete Foley down, around and back again. They all agree Joe is @ good boy, and Q good fighter which is why half the borough will be on hand tonight at Randolph Gloves stadium when Dick and Joe come out for the first round. Tur- cote has regular following of his own and also a large one that wants to see him defeated for the same req. son, based on human nature, that everybody and his first cousin want ed to see Kid Kaplan, the Meriden buzz saw beaten when Louie the Kid was in his prime many years ago. After he won the worlds title, and turned down $50,000 to throw" c .Ght, there was never Q more pop- ular fighter in Connecticut before or since.
 Frenchman Favored
 Turcotte, because he is a better boxer than Triano has been estab- ed an 8 to s favorite by those who know the merits of the two boys, but that does not mean Triano may not floor him and possibly stop him, technically or otherwise, Triano was able to put the clever and game Johnny Dougwillo Ion the deck" and Turcotte, like Joe Louis, is not in- vincible, opinion around the Canal lunch to the contrary notwithst:lad- ing.
 Looks Great
 All in all the show is a "hum- dinger" on paper. Most of the bet- t.: amateurs are on hand to garnish the Turcotte-Triano tangle with some lively action of their own, with that Joe Rossi-Dick Schaeffer re- turn go most promising, for example, while Waterbury Billy Brown and Bristol Lou Leonard should provide @ mixup that will please corpulent Charles Schnitman, the huge gent who takes up four seats for the price of one, but never misses 6 10. cal fight or the front row.
 At 8:30 o'clock by his ankle watch, Announcer Jack Freney will step into the ring, immaculate as ever, and shout out the details of the first bout of the evening. J. F'othergill Brickel, ST., will watch the watch as usual, while Commentator Rob- ert Angelo Kelly will watch the sky for the first sign of-you know what. See you at tn: ringside.

New York, July 20-Fighting Fox was a long time getting around to 1t, but he may yet demonstrate that he has some of the qualities of his full brother, the famous Gallant Fox, which won $32s, 165 in his three year old year.
 Both are sons of Sir Gallahad Sd and Marguerite, but until he came down in front in the $50,000 added Massachusetts Handicap on a sloppy Suffolk Downs track the only thing about Fighting Fox which reminded lracegoers of Gallant Fox was that he was so different.
 Gallant Fox could run all day, but couldn't do his best until he was looked in the eye.
 Right up until July 8, Fighting Fox was spittin' image of 8 sprint CT and there still is reason to sus- pect that he is strictly front run ner.
 Certainly he Is an enigma.
 The unpredictable four year old broke a record at Aqueduct in win ming the Carter Handicap, June IT.
 Then, under much lighter weight, he ran bad race in the Brooklyn Handicap a week later.
 Then, July 8, in the Fleetwing Handicap at Empire Sity he was the Fighting Fox of the Carter smashing another track record.

Thomaston Sports
BY JACK WATERS

After hurling verbal blasts at each other, Harry Lynch and his Legion nine and Ernie Ruggie's Stars are at last ready to do battle, for what, nobody seems to know. The local rivals will cross bats this evening at McGrath's field at 6 o'clock. For the past few days Manager Lynch has been issuing carefully prepared statements to the press and 1t is reported that his sec- retary is now suffering from a bad case of writer's cramp. So intense is the rivalry that side bet of fif- ty dollars has been posted. Where the half century note is going to come from remains a mystery. Lynch will field his regular lineup while the Stars will show the OBrien brothers, Peck and Eddie. These two players will make up seventy-five per cent of Ruggie's team but the remaining twenty-five per cent will consist of Parsons, Doyle. Lou tYokel Boy) Lattimer, Anderson. Mcbride, Atwood and Handlewitz. What this game is supposed to prove, we don't know, unless 1t is a demonstration o fhow to waste fine July evening.
 After breeding through the
 first round of the County In-
 dustrial softball league, the Seth

BELAIR HORSE VERSATILE
 AND DIFFICULT TO FIGURE

Moving in the stretch and wrest- ing the lead from Mrs. W. Plunkett Stewards Early Delivery. the Belair stud horse won of by himself in i:07 2-5. which shaved two-fifths of . second of the old mark for 5 3-4 furlongs, or about six furlongs as they say on the Yonkers hilltop.
 That mark was established by Old Koenig in 1913 and tied by Wise Counsellor in "A and again by The Fighter year ago.
 Whatever else may be said of Fighting Fox, 1t must be set down that he is a versatile and difficult to figure fellow. Tn the Carter he took the track and ran his oppo- sition dizzy. In the Brooklyn he just didn't run at all. In the Fleet wing he obeyed Jimmy Stout per- early pace and moved up grad fectly, stayed close enough to the ua1ly when the jockey called on him to do his best.
 Tn the opinion of competent critics the Fighting Fox of the Carter would have trimmed any horse in the land. including his magnificent stablemate, Johnstown.
 Yet the Fighting Fox of the Brook lyn couldn't even get in the money Then with more weight in the Fleet wing he ran like a champion and came back with the greatest tri- umph of his career in the Massa- chusetts Handicap. where he showed that on occasion he can go a mile and an eighth and run in mud.
