NEW YORK. Sept. 9.-Play was
to be resumed in the national ten

and hail interrupted the play at the
Forest Hills courts late yesterday.
Sixteen first and second round
matches were left hanging, several
of them nearly completed. In addi-

was arranged between Bobby Riggs
of Chicago and Larry Dee of San
Francisco.
The most exciting duel unfinished
was that between Bryan Grant. jr.,
of Atlanta and Sidney Wood, jr., of
New York. When the hail sent them
to cover, Grant had won the first set,
6-3. and was ahead in the second,
12-11.
Jack Bromwich of Australia, yet to
unlimber his racket in the cham
pionship, faced big Frank Shields of
New York, who gave him a mighty
battle in the 1888 tournament.
Kay Stammers of England was
due to make her bow against Mary
Jane Metcalf of Denver. All the

Ray Hanken, New York Giant end

turn to his alma mater in a coaching

Whether Hanken will assist with

didate for the freshman coaching

before the championship is decided.
Sholl's Cafeteria girls of Washing

Abe Rosenfield, ace pitcher for the
Capital club, was the player mostly
credited with Tru-Blus present high

he yielded three hits Gudek of
Chicopee gave two, both in an over

BY WALTER McCALLUM.

Maybe IL S large Or0er lOr the
young women to fill, but if you can
judge by the way Marion Brown
has been playing lately, it may not
be too big a task for the Manor
youngster to successfully defend
the three links titles she now holds,
all within the space of a month.
Marion, the slim Manor miss
who licked Former National Cham
pion Glenna Collett Ware in the
Women's national title tourney last
month, is the only golfer around
toWn-man or woman-who holds
three titles She held four last fall,
but since that time she has dropped
her District crown.
Marion next month will defend
her Middle Atlantic championship
at Washington, but before that
biggest sectional tourney of them
all comes up she has two other
little jobs on her hands. First of
these comes next week when the
Brown girl will defend her Indian
Spring title. Immediately after
that she'll move over to Manor to
defend the. women's title of that
club, which she also won in 1898.
1t seems a big task. but Marion
looks equal to it. The Indian Spring
championship will be played Sep
tember IA, IS and 16 The Manor
Club affair will start September 18.
After that one Marion will have
practically nothing to do but keep
her game in gear for the Mid
Atlantic, scheduled to get under

Oliveri Again Publinx King.
Handy Andy Oliveri, logical sue
cessor to Claude Rippy, again holds
the District municipal links cham
pionship, but Andy never has had
a closer squeeze in a golf match
than he had yesterday, when he
finally downed long hitting Julian
Murphy of Maryland University on
the Seth hole of the title match.
Indeed, at one time, it seemed that
the tall Murphy youngster was going
to do just what every one had pre-
dicted he couldn't do-lick Oliveri
on course where Andy knows every
shot. But Handy Andy did it, and
today he is for the third straight
time the public links champ. And
Andy has the best record any public
linksman has had since Claude
Rippy deserted the pay-as-you-play
courses and joined one of the
swankier country clubs. The chunky
Oliveri is mighty close to Rippy's
1896 mark, when Claude was a ball
of fire at home and abroad.
Murphy put UP quite a battle
against Andy, and could have won.
For a couple Of holes, toward the
end Of the match, it seemed that
the Maryland University youngster
was poised to topple the crown
from Oliveri's black-thatched head.
For Oliveri wasn't on his stick yes
terday. Where he had been scor-
ing down in the low 70s in earlier
matches, he scrambled almost like

ragged 78 against Murphy's 80. BY
the time they reached the 9th hole
Murphy had whitfield Andy's lead
down to one hole, and he erased 1t

Medwick Incident Proved
Roy Could Run Club

1t was shortly after that that Ray
had to demonstrate to every ones
satisfaction that he was the boss
of the Cardinals. The necessity
arose in connection with Joe Med
wick.
At that point Ray was in a spot
where he had to make himself-or
allow himself to be broken. Med
wick, great ballplayer and a
popular hero in st. Louis, was re-
sentful of a fine that Blades had
slapped on him for not retrieving
a ball-an omission that Blades
thought had cost the Cardinals a
ball game-and of Blades strategy
in removing from the outfield in a
critical moment of a game to sup
plant him with Terry Moore, a
better defensive player.
MedWick fumed publicly and
everybody-the rest of the Cardi-
mails Observation-Disclosures at Blades
to see what he was going to do.
He didn't keep anybody waiting.
He cracked down sharply on Med
wick-sharply, but impersonally. He
restored order in the dugout and
then went his way as calmly as
though nothing had happened He
harbored no grudge against Med
wick, and, by treating him exactly
as he treated every other player,
with no thought of reprisal for Joe s
INSTRUMENTATION, earned Joe's re-
spect.
The Medwick incident had pro-
vided a crisis such as many mana
gers have known. BY the resolute
way in which he met it, Blades
proved his right to lead a major
league club.

was the real manager of the team

had been prompted by his appoint

team north from the training camp,
fired it with his own zealand
hurled it into the fray. And the

Managerial Group Best
Ever in Majors
By GRANTLAND RICE.

NEW YORK, Sept. 9 (NANA).-
With the pennant races pretty well
over and the standings pretty we'll
hxed-there may be minor change
here and there as the teams lunge
through the last three weeks, but
It would take a miracle to upset the
Reds and even more than that to
throw the Yankees-let's take stock
of the managers.
First prize in their respective
leagues goes, of course, to Joe Nc
Carthy and Bill McKechnie. Granted
that the Yankees and the Reds have
the best teams, they didn't get
where they are today with their
managers snoozing in the club
house.
Mccarthy, handling the Yankees
superbly, Is about to hang up his
fourth straight pennant-somethin
which no American League manager
ever did. McKechnie, with a great
Job almost completed, is about to
hand Cincinnati its first flag in 20
years.
Here are two managers who are
coming through on Schedule-Who
were picked to win and are coming
down in front McKechnie's course
was the harder-but there were
few rough spots too. along the road
that Mccarthy travelled.
