Mighty Peculiar Doines
In American Leooue

The other league? Say. there
have been some mighty peculiar do
tngs in the other league of late.
On the 1st of July the New York
Yankees led by 1872 games. One
historian sat down to his trusty
typewriter and raped out an eye
witness story of the ambition which
burned in the breast of Joseph Nc
Carthy. namely, to win the Ameri-
can League pennant by Is games.
1t is hard to say how this re-
porter got access to the inside of
Mr. McCarthy's breast, where the
prairie fire is said to be raging.
Mr.. Mccarthy himself denied the
rumor, attributing the whole thing
to heartburn.
twenty-five games?" barked Mr..
Mccarthy. Since when am call
Ing any shots in this league? I'll
settle for first place by half game.
The finish is long way off,
Joe never spoke truer word. He
hardly had placed his statement on
record when more than so per cent
OF the Yankee lead disappeared like
q thief in the night. They still are
advertising for its whereabouts. In
the space of nine days the Yanks
lost seven full games to the Boston
Red SoX. Mr.. Mccarthy lost some
of his hair, and the American
League lost its mass inferiority
complex.

Betty Jacobs was to start in de-

at four net centers sought to COM

her playing at Montrose, was to

Judging from the struggle given
Shirley Combs of Happy Hollow, last
years runnerup, by Annie Love
yesterday, observers expect several
new names to grace the later rounds
OF the tournament, which annually
serves as an incubator for future
stars. Miss Combs barely managed
to defeat Miss Love, Ga, 6-3.
A sidelight of yesterdays opening

tive opponents, Mary Murphy of

Turner, Unexpected
Entrant, Threat in
Parks Tennis
Rates SemifinoI Spot;
Hunt, johnson Survive
In Maryland Open
By BILL DISMER. .Jr.

A new and decided threat to win
the local public parks tennis tour
nament, starting Saturday at the
Reservoir courts, was revealed to-
day with the surprise announce
ment that 19-year-old Billy Tur-
ner would be one of the entrants.
A member of country club until
this year, Turner has not been ELI
gible for parks competition since
he has become one of the Districts
ranking netmen, and with only three
municipal players rated above him
he should be a semifinalist at least.
Turner's play thus for has been
one of the sensations of the season.
His best-knoWn feat was his cap
ture of the Junior Davis Cup tour
nament.
Consistently Comes From Rear.
But his consistency in coming
from behind to win more than half
OF his victories in three tournaments
has been the real feature of his
play this year. Turner, moreover,
has string of impressive victims,
among them Ricky Willis and Ramey
Donovan-two above-average seniors
and such outstanding juniors as
Maurice Cowan, Doyle Royal and
Eddie Richardson.
Defending Champion Ray Stock
linski, Allie Ritzenberg and Joel
Baker are the only three public
parks players with higher District
rankings than Turner's.
incidentally, little more than "a
hours remain for both men and
women to enter the competition.
No entries will be accepted after
S pm. tomorrow with the Tennis
Shop, Felix Silva and Dorette Mil
Ter being the registrars until then
Hunt and johnson Survive.
Gil Hunt and David johnson were
the only Washington survivors in
the Maryland State Open at Balti-
more today, following an afternoon
which saw the elimination of the
Districts other two representatives,
Barney Welsh and Buddy Adair.
Hunt and johnson were in the
round of 16 with eight matches today
setting the stage for the quarter
final round tomorrow. Semifnals
are scheduled Friday and the final
on Saturday.
Both District men will have to
step to win today as Hunts opponent
is Warren Christner, Texas fifth
ranking player. superseded in his
home State only by such racketers as
Frank Guernsey, Wilmer Allison, Bob
Kamrath and Ed Weller and John
sen meets Welby Van Horn, one of
the U. S. L. T. AS class "A" players
and seeded seventh in the Baltimore
event.
Welsh Bows to Imhoff.
The District was to be represented
by three full doubles teams and
halves of two others as team COM
petition got under way this after
noon. Hunt, playing with Ernie Sut-
ter, who was upset in singles yester-
day, was seeded No. l among the
high number of 40 teams. other
local combinations were Adair and
Bill Breese, Joel Baker and Pat Deck.
Ken Dalby and Bill Wickham and
johnson, who is playing with Maurice
Finchner of Texas.
Welsh was eliminated yesterday
by Doug Imhoff. the young Califor-
Man whom he beat for the cham
pionship of the same tournament two
years ago. Imhoff won by Ga, 60.
Adair lost to Dan Roberts, another
Californian, 60, 6-3. Hunts vic
tim was Tate Coulthard, still an
other Californian, who bowed to the
local ace, 8-6, 6-3. johnson was
not scheduled to play.

Any young squirt who was not
around to see the retreat from Bull
Run or even read the headlines her
aiding the sinking Of the Maine has
no business attempting to pick an
all-time, all-star team of any de-
scrlption, we have discovered. In
nocently enough we were towing
with the idea Of singing out the
great men of Washington sandlot
history when we found ourselves in
mess of trouble. And we still
aren't safe by any stretch of the
imagination.
Mere mention of the subject sent
some OF the bravest men scurrying
to cover. Men who unhesitatingly
called Ty Cobb only mediocre. who
called Bob Feller better than Walter
johnson, who might even say the
Thinkers to Evers to Chance double
play combination was a stumble
bum outfit, refused to be quoted on
anything resembling an all-time
team. 1t was positively dangerous,
they agreed
How far back are you going?"
casually inquired Mr.. John 3. Keller.
baseball man who has been around
a few years himself. We thought
about 20.
They Were Good in 1902.
Twenty" roared Mr.. Keller, the
old 40-and-8 spirit boiling up in his
muscular torso. Twenty, why you'd
be missing some of the best players
that Washington ever saw. You've
got to 60 back at least to 1902 to
get the best ones. You don't think
these young whippersnappers play
ing today can compare with the real
old-timers, do you?" And with that
running start Mr. Keller began reel
ing of names like a top-sergeant
at roll call.
He started in with pitchers. Buck
Barton, Chief Green, Lefty Hutchin-
son, Lem Owen, Forest Thompson,
Chunk" Wheatley, the huckster,
who would stop his cart any time
anywhere his services were needed
to pitch a game: Heine Webb, Chris
Fienle, Dutch" Sterzer, the fat
southpaw; Walter Beall, Lefty Nc
Intyre and Buck Becker, the Navy
Yard star. Buck. he recalled, was
signed by Washington and in his
first major league effort stopped the
White Sox cold.
At first base he mentioned Pierce
Riddle, ICY" Macdonald, Myron
Clear and Charley King. The second
base delegation included Mike Mac
donald, Shorty Hughes-and you
know how benevolent he looks now
Well, Keller says Shorty was rip
snorting, f1re-breathing player in his
prime, and If he couldn't stop a
base-runner any other way he'd
punch him on the nose. Tommy
Costa and Vic Gauzza were others
on the list.
His shortstops included Ernie
Atchison. Alec Gill and Johnny
Priest. Third basemen were "Inky"
Davis. Buck Howard, Jimmy Green
and Billy Martin. For catchers he
liked Artie West. Dutch" Munich,
Tony Suess and "Givvy" Giovanetti.
Bankers Had Great Team.
Mr.. Keller's usually reliable men,
ory tripped and fell in the outfield
but he remembered Reggie Raw
lings, Red Waller, "Broomie" Broome
and Pick" Hamil. Outfielders. he
pointed out, aren't remembered as
well as inf1elders because they don't
handle as many plays. But he
promised to sleep on the matter and
bring in a few more stars within
the next few days.

Lone Seeded Netmen
Upset in New York
Clay Court Play
Reeder Beots Hartman;
Event at Stoee Where
All Tits Are Tough
BY the Associated Press.

~ shc AocoClALcu FIeb9.
NEW YORK, July 12.-For all It's
leisurely progress through the first
four days, the New York State clay
court tennis tournament is getting
to the point where the opposition is
all tough.
The tourney started last Saturday,
but some of the seeded stars didn t
play until yesterday. Morey Lewis
Of Texarkana, Ark, led the way into
the quarter-f1nal round.
Lewis, seeded second, trimmed Nat
Goldstein, Brooklyn College captain,
60. Ga, in their fourth round
match after overcoming IA
deficit in the second set.
Number Are Round Behind.
A round behind are top-seeded
Frank Guernsey of Orlando, Fla, the
defending champion; Russell Bob
bitt of Atlanta, No 8; Martin Buxby
Of Miami, Fla; Frank Bowden of
New York. both seeded. as well as
unseeded Gordon Reeder of Dallas,
Tex, teammate of Lewis at Kenyon
College, and Charles Masterson,
Bernard Jacoby and Gordon Giles
of New York.
The ones that weren't picked for
seedlings are all good enough to give
the chosen stars a tussle, as Reeder
demonstrated yesterday. He elimi-
mated eighth h-seeded Leonard Hart
man of New York, Ga, 2-6, 6-3, for
the first upset.
Guernsey Is Extended.
Then Guernsey, who arrived late
Monday from Louisville and didn't
take any time to rest, had the hard
est sort of struggle before he earned
a 81, 6-1. Ga third-round deci-
sion over Phil Rubel, a Brooklyn
unknown" who turned up with a
very annoying soft" game.
Buxby, who ran off three matches
In his first day of play, was extended
to three sets in one of them by

freshman. and Bobbitt had to go
three against William Lurie of New
York.

Field Is Wide Open
For Kicking Yonks

They can be had!" exulted Joseph
Cronin, the Boston manager. They
opened wicked lead on us there,
but if we can knock off half of it
in a week, why can't we wipe out
the rest in three months?"
According to Mr.. Cronin, all it
requires is little cooperation. The
Red SoX have shown what can be
done. Now is the time for Chicago,
Detroit, Cleveland and Washington
to leap into the breach.
THE field is open" says Mr..
Cronin unselfishly. The rest of the
boys can kick the Yankees all they
want to, so long as they do not
get ideas about kicking us and try
Ing to steal our pennant"
What does the Yankee slump
amount to? Well, the Yanks do not
panic easily. They have strength
in every department of the game,
the sort of balance which figures
to protect them in Just such emer-
gencies as these. The bottom will
not fall out of this ball club. If
It's true that the club is not the
peerless and f1awless thing it seemed
to be last week, it also is true that
the team which beats it out will
have to fight every step of the way.
1t is possible that the rest of the
league let the Yankees get to far
ahead before they were challenged.
With two full days of rest, the
leaders may snap back into stride.
But their flank has been turned
and their communications threat
ened. In the jubilant words of Mr..
Cronin, they can be had.

Refreshed from their three-day
rest, the Mats were to leave town
