In Parks Final
BY the Associated Press.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 26-Dick Nc
Kee, 19-year-old Jacksonville, Fla,
youth who packs a stick of tennis
dynamite in his right hand, carried
home the singles crown today from
his first invasion of national public
parks tournaments.
The little Southerner, ambitious to
meet the tennis worlds best, won a
spectacular final match yesterday in
downing Charles Shostrom, Chicago
veteran, 6-3, 81, 81.
Mckee shared honors with Helen
Germaine of New York, who won the
women's singles trophy by defeating
Mrs. Marceina Weiss Parker of St.
Louis, 60, 6t3.
With deadly accurate drives, Nc
Kee turned on the heat in the first
round and kept safely ahead of
Shostrom all the way. Shostrom
played a less effective game than
when he ousted Eddie Moylan of
Trenton, N. j., to enter the final.
Willis Anderson and Robin Briscoe
of Los Angeles teamed to defeat
George and Marta Barnett Andrade
of Jacksonville, Fla, 6-3, 6-3, for
the mixed doubles trophy. Anderson,
1888 singles champion, with Jerry
CrowtherS of Los Angeles, won the

BROOKLINE, Mass, Aug. 26.-
Although they have been operating
as a tennis unit only eight months,
Jack Kramer and Ted Schroeder,
a pair of 19-year-old Californians,
today were the proprietors of the
priced national doubles titles-the
youngest winners to bob up in SO
years.
They gained those honors in mas

gave the much more seasoned Gard

Double Win for Queen Alice.
After Kramer and Schroeder de-
fed tradition by making their first
start in that national event win
ming one, the established team
of Alice Marble and Sarah Palfrey
restored normality by gaining its
fourth consecutive woman's doubles
titles by defeating Mrs. Johnny Van
Ryn of Austin, Tex, one of the
1886 winners, and Dorothy Bundy
of Santa Monica, Calf, Ga, 6-3.
Miss Marble rested about five min
utes and then stepped out with
Bobby Riggs of Chicago and won
the mixed doubles laurels from Miss
Bundy and Kramer by 81, 6-1
margins.
That was another fourth win for
Queen Alice, for she triumphed with
Harry Hopman of Australia last
year, with Don Bulge the year be-
fore and with Gene Mako in 1886.

Issue Among Gold Cup
Boats Likely 10 Be
Decided Here
Contest at Northport
Hit by Breokdowns;;
Canadian to Race

A real battle among the power
boats which didn't have a chance to
display their true worth in the Gold
Cup race at Northport, Long Island,
is due for the Presidents Cup in
the Presidents Cup Regatta sched-
uled September q, %, 20, on the
Potomac.
R. Aubrey Bogley, regatta race
chairman, and John A. Remon,
regatta president, returned from the
Gold Cup races in which they served
as honorary officials with the an
nouncement that nothing had hap
pened at Northport to interfere
with the present lineup for the
Presidents Cup race"
Canadian Boat Expected.
The following stars and their
boats are expected for the race:
Harold Wilson and Miss Can
ada III: Sidney Allen, the new Gold
Cup champion and Hotsy Totsy;
Zamie Simmons and My Sin, Herb
Mendelson and Notre Dame, George
Cannon and Gray Goose III, Horace
Dodge and Miss Syndicate, Lou Fa-
geol and So Long, Gar Wood, IT,, and
Tinker Toy; wild Bill" Cantrell
and Why Worry, Marion Cooper and
Mercury and DR.. A. L. Harbarger
and Art-Ef.
Contrell and Cooper, both of
Louisville, did not compete in the
Gold Cup. Neither did DR.. Har-
barger nor Wilson, the defending
Presidents Cup champion. Fageol
was to have been starter but his So
Long was so badly shaken up in a
box car in the trip across the con-
tinent from California that he failed
to have it ready in time for the race.
Calls Notre Dame Fastest.
Bogley brought home words of
praise for all the Gold Cup con-
teStants, pointing out that, while
Allen, the dark horse, won the cup,
it did not go to the swiftest boat.
He said Mendelson's Notre Dame
would have captured the cup had he
returned to the pits for repairs in
time for the second heat after his
boat and Simmons My Sin "conked
out" within so feet of each other.
Both were leading the rest of the
contestants in the first heat by sew
eral laps. Notre Dame, however,
won the third heat with such ease
that even Aliens Hotsy TotSy was
waved off the course. Allen failed
to finish within nine minutes of
Notre Danes time, and had Mendel-
son entered the second heat in time
he would have won the race with
300 points.
None of the Gold Cup drivers was
discouraged by his showing and all
are pointing to the Presidents Gun
race.

racing granddad from Kansas City,
and his 225-cubic inch hydroplane,
Tops III, had the laugh on tie big
high-powered Gold Cup class boats
again today.
For, while the big fellows were
cracking up all over the Shrews-
bury River yesterday, Pop and Tops
just breezed along at a 70-mile- an
hour clip to win the National
Sweepstakes Trophy, feature of the
two-day speedboat regatta here, dur
ing which II records were broken.
In addition to taking the last two
15-mile heats in the sweepstakes
yesterday, after finishing second in
the first heat Saturday, Tops also
won the 225-cubic inch class title
the same way.
On the way to the double triumph,

ord and equaled another. 1t trav-
eled at an average sc 1909 miles per
hour for the three heats of the
sweepstakes to Shatter the mark of
62.l99 Cooper set by Tops II in
winning the trophy in '37.
World Record Tied.
His speed of 70810 miles per hour
for the third heat of the 225-cubic
inch event equaled the world record
for that type boat.
All kinds of hard luck hit the
Gold Cup craft in the sweepstakes.

to fill with water SO fast, when the
shaft tore up through the hull,
that Coast Guardsmen had to tow it
to shore in hurry. Jim Finley of
Detroit, riding with Notre Danes
driver, Dan Arena of Oakland, Calf,
was thrown clear of the boat, but
was uninjured.
The Gray Goose III, owned by
Hugh Gingras of Rocklodge, Fla,
developed motor trouble and was
forced out in the same heat. Two
others of the Gold Cup class, Lou
Fageol's So Long, from California,
and Horace Dodge's Miss Syndicate
from Detroit, didn't even get to the
post, the former being towed away
from the pits early and the Detroit
boat burning bearing.
Eight Ball III Gets Title.
The l35-cubic inch hydroplane
championship went to Eight Ball III,
owned and driven by Henry Davis,
jr., of GranoQue, Del In the first
heat of that competition, on Satur-
day, S. Mortimer Auerbach of At
lantic City stopped his Emancipator
VIII to rescue another driver, whose
boat had been in a collision.
Officials were all for tossing out
the result of that heat. which Davis
won, and letting yesterdays final
two heats beside the issue. Davis
and Auerbach broke even in those
two tests, and were called to the
judges barge. Auerbach then con-
coded the title to Eight Ball III and
admitted 1t was the fastest boat In
the race.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Aug. 90
With the debris of four world rec
ords scattered around and only one
full game separating the three lead
ing contenders, Clayton Henson of
Arlington, Va, appeared hopelessly
out of the running as the field
turned into the third day of COM
petition for the world horseshoe
pitching championship today at the
State fair grounds.
A highly regarded dark horse after
placing sixth on the qualifying list
of 81, Henson found himself the
victim of an extra special perform
ance yesterday as Ira Allen outdid
himself to trim the Metropolitan
Washington ID. c. champion. Hen
son pitched IS per cent ringers,
but Allen went him a trif1e better
with 88. 1t was as close as your
socks to the final pitch.
At Best Against Henson.
Off the performances turned in
by his opponents thus far Henson
appears to have been the victim of
a concentrated drive to keep him
from winning the title. Allen, while
an outstanding pitcher, displayed the
best form he has shown in the cur
rent tournament yesterday, while
Henson travelled at his usual pace.
1t was enough to discourage a faint
hearted contender, but Henson was
ready for more today, hoping against
hope for a break that would shove
him into the prize list. He has won
6 games and lost II, with Is to go.
Fernando Isais of Mexico City
ran his sensational streak to 10
consecutive victories to keep an I'M
sulhed record, but it was Defending
Champion Ted Allen of Boulder,
Colo, and Guy Zimmerman of Sac
City. Iowa, who furnished the fire.

to be the greatest horseshoe game

two tournament standards. They
tossed the most shoes in a single
game, 1854; the most ringers in

ringers in a game, IS by Allen, and
the most four dead ringers, so.
Zimmerman put on l3 consecutive
double ringers for tournament
record, and he and Allen tossed four
dead ringers nine consecutive times
for another mark 1t was an ex-
citing contest that kept the 1000
fans who lined the courts on edge
throughout and kept both Allen
and Zimmerman within striking dis
lance of Isais. Each has won II
and lost 1.
Ira Allen and Casey Jones, the
latter Wisconsin champion, were
next in standings with 16 victories
and 2 losses.
Today Zimmerman gets his
chance at Isais' brilliant record and
the match is expected to attract a
record breaking crowd. Tomorrow
the Mexican will be pitted against
Allen in the match that may decide
the championship.

Word has reached the society re-
porters in Saratoga that Ace-Deuce

set around Gooley's Cigar Store,
is en- route to the Spa with party.
When they say with party" I
guess they are referring to the
curious group of people accom-
panying me, most Of them complete
strangers. The only one can place
offhand is M'Bongu, my faithful
native bearer, who will carry my
money in basket on his shoulders
and push the car over that steep
hill just north of President Roose-
velt's diggings in Hyde Park.
Any Roosevelt who wants to come
out and help push as we pass by
is welcome. The spirit of the ex-
petition is one of genial CANA
raderie.
What Saratoga little suspects,
however, is this: The Lardner visit
this year is business, not social.
Naturally, I expect to pass the time
of day with A. G. Vanderbilt, and
perhaps split a pork chop with the
Whitneys and play couple Of rub

selaers often ask without a couple

big Saratoga sales, which have just
ended. I have been trying to buy

will show you more golf skill than
any tournament now held. In this
party they can throw aside all re-
straint in the battle of brides and

Along this line one of the greatest
records ever made in golf belongs
to Walter Hagen, who some years
ago won "a consecutive P. G.. A.
matches. Hagen won four years in
a row and barely was halted at his
fifth challenge. This stands as the
greatest match play golf ever has
known. When you figure what a
hard fight each match is against
some topnotch opponent you can
figure the odds against piling up "a
in row through five years.
In this Hershey test, over long,
