Davey 0'Brien
After Scrinln1aqe

CHICAGO. Aug. 16. (UP)-It's
true what they say about Davey
O'Brien so New York's football
Giants had better be prepared for
the worst.
Little Davey, most popular in the
nation last fall when he drove
Texas Christians great eleven to
an undefeated season. took charge
of the collegiate all-star scrimmage
yesterday with a one-man previeW
of what the Giants will be up
against the night of Aug. 30.
HIS running, kicking, passing and
general alertness were outstanding
on a practice field sWarming with
70 of the best college players of
1898 He looks about as dangerous
as a high-school freShman-and
runs rings around All-Americans
THAT boy does everything well, y
said Coach Elmer Layden of Notre
Dame, who drew almost as many
votes in the coaches poll as OBrien
did among the players. HE isn't
a great kicker. but he'll be able
to handle even that job for the
starting backfield until we can
substitute a punting specialist The
best thing about O'Brien Is his
ability to run as we'll as pass. That
running may be a great surprise
to the Giants.

Gene Mako Makes
Great Comeback in
Doubles Play

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass, Aug
Is. (UP)-One of the bravest come
backs tennis has seen in many a
year Is being made these days on
the courts of the Longwood Cricket
club by a blond, Hungarian chap
named Gene Mako.
Perhaps you have heard of Mako,
but the chances are that you have
mt much heard of him, because as
the doubles partner of Don Bulge
for the past few years he was over
powered. When they won tourna-
ment after tournament, including
Wimbledon and the U. S. doubles
last year, it was always Bulge who
got the credit. The belief got around
that Bulge was SO good that he
could use his most maidenly aunt
as a partner and still beat the
world.
Actually, nothing was farther
from the truth. OF the two, Mako
was the better doubles player. He
was a better volleyer, a superior
court coverer, and his tandem tao
tics we're much more advanced.
Time and again he carried Bulge
through crucial matches.
When Bulge turned professional
and Mako was left without a part
ner his critics were quick to jump
on him when he started losing
matches. They didn't bear with him
in his efforts to locate a new
partner with whom he could team,
or his efforts to develop a new and
stronger service. He was roasted
and blasted for weeks, but he never
quit. Patiently he kept working,
and now within the last few weeks
his refusal to break Is bearing
fruit.
Right now, in the 58th national
doubles championship, he is playing
the best tennis In the field With
Jack Tidball as a partner he has
reached the third round, and to-
morrow will face test that he
relishes-the Australian Davis Cup
team of Adrian Quist and Jack
Bromwich. Mako and Bulge licked
this pair in straight sets in the
final last year. Tomorrow Mako
and Tidball will be no worse than
even money when they take the
court against the Aussies.

massacred three of the pet Solon
pitchers, AL Sherer. John Hubbell,
and Ira Smith.

rescue of Bill Walker in the third
inning after San Diego had scored
four runs and Seattle eventually
overcame the lead to whip the
Padres 5 to 4. but 1t took three

pitcher, was lifted in the eight
inning after San Francisco had
scored four runs, and AL Epperly

only because of Rip Collins, who
brought in all four runs with a
