Three Run Uprising Win
For Tigers Over Browns
Detroit Now Two Percent
age Points Behind Indians
Who Lose Again

DETROIT, Sept. 7.-R-The he
roles of the Detroit Tigers reached
a season high today as they staged
a three-run uprising in the ninth
to defeat the st. Louis Browns, 5
to 4, and climb into a virtual tie
with the Cleveland Indians for first
place in the American league.
. Detroit is now two percentage
points behind the Indians who lost
today for the sixth straight time.
Two former Cleveland players -
Earl Averill and Bruce Campbell
supplied the finishing punch in De-
troits 18th win in p games with
st. Louis this year.
In the ninth inning Vernon Ken
nedy, former Tiger who had pitched
superb ball for the Browns. lost
control and walked Billy Sullivan
and George Tebbetts with none out.
Frank Higgins, injured Tiger third
sacker, batted for relief pitcher Al
ton Benton and sacrificed.
Averill, one of the years best
pinch hitters, hit for Dick Bartell
and singled to send two runs over
and knot the score. Campbell then
slapped a double down the right
field foul line that scored Averill
and broke up the game.
The Tigers were held to sever
hits, the blows including Hank
Greenberg's 10Th homer of the year
with the bases empty in the sixth.
The Browns got II safeties off
Johnny Corsica and Benton.
The Browns gained an early lead
with single runs in the second and
fourth. In the second singles by
Harlond Cliff, George McQuinn and
Johnny B%erardino netted a run. Wal
ter Judnich's single, Cliffs double
and a long fly by Berardino pro-
duced the fourth inning score.
In the fifth Detroit got its first
hits and a subsequent run. Teb-
belts opened with a walk but was
forced by Corsica. Dick Bartell then
hunted a single. Campbell scored
Corsica with a single to center.

HUNT and KOVACS
STAGE SIT DOWN
Annapolis Midshipman Grows
Angry At Kovacs' Antics
At Forest Hills
BY Y TALBOT

4N'V 4S4LlA, oCpC. Z" uF"AA
crowd of 49, 600 tennis zealots was
treated today to the inspiring spec
tacle of two of the nations prime
young players sitting down on the
Forest Hills stadium turf and re-
fusing to continue play for some
time.
One of them, Joe Hunt, the mid
shipman from Annapolis, was sore,
while Frank Kovacs, the amiable
eccentric from Oakland, Cal, was
glad of it. Between them they
managed to put on perhaps the
most unusual show ever seer in
big league tennis and to enliven
an otherwise unexciting program
of quarter-final matches in the Ma
tional championships.
Hunt Pops
Hunt had won the first two sets,
ga and 81, while Kovacs clowned
all over the joint and had himself
a bushel of fun. Hunt, gradually
got a neck-full of things as the
match proceeded, and when the
third game of the third set came
around he suddenly popped.
The gallery was laughing at ko-
'vacs' silly antics. Hunt, a very
annoyed young sailor, demanded of
the umpire, LIE van Richards, that
the crowd stop giggling at Kovacs.
When Richards declined to speak
sternly either to Kovacs or the
crowd, Hunt sat right down on the
base line and refused to accept
service.
Kovacs seemed to think that was
very funny, so he sat down, too.
DR.. S. Ellsworth Davenport, Jr.,
the tournament referee, walked out
ominously from the marquee and
sat down, himself, though not on
the grass. There followed a cru
cial and electric five minutes in
the history of old Forest Hills.
They went then and Wrangled
for a while longer around the UNI
pire's chair. while the crowd en-
joyed every moment of the throb-
bling drama. Eventually they got
to playing again, and Hunt ran out
the final set, Ga.
Il wouldn't have cared" Hunt
said later, eff he had stood on his
head if the crowd wouldn't have
the umpire to make them stop
laughing before I sat down."
Hunt, now that he's past the Ko-
vacs menace, meets Bobby Riggs,
the defending champion, tomorrow
and will need only to try to defend
himself in the clinches. =
Bobby, suffering from a cold and
running a temperature, was unusu-
ally serious today as he swept
aside young Ted Schroeder of Glen
dale, Cal. 81, 2-6, g., Ga. Schroed-
err was the first to win a set from
Riggs in this tournament, but Bob
by was far too steady and smart
for him in the long run.
The other mems semi-finalists,
decided yesterday, were Don Nc
Neil of Oklahoma City and Jack
Kramer of Belvedere Gardens, Cal.
Helen Jacobs of Berkeley, Cal,
four-time former women's cham
pion, and Mary Hardwick of Eng
land both came back after losing
the opening sets of their quarter
final matches today to qualify for
tomorrow's play.
Miss Jacobs eliminated Virginia
Wofenden of San Francisco, 6,
ga, 81, while Miss Hardwick, Brit
ish Wightman cup star, beat Paul
inc Betz of Los Angeles, 81, 81,
60. The Hardwick-Betz match was
extraordinarily fine women's ten
mis-.
Miss Jacobs and Miss Hardwick
clash in one semi-final tomorrow,
with champion Alice Marble meet
ing Valerie Scott of England in
the other. l
