CHICAGO. Sept. 10.-Regarded
as fodder for the advancement OF
pennant hopes in at least three

Seemingly favoring the White SoX

ton in the first of tWo-game series
was the fact Manager Bucky Harris
of the Mats has designated Chicago
as an experimental station for fur
ther testing of his rookie crop.
While disdain1ng to employ
rockies against either Detroit or
Cleveland, feeling those pennant-
. pursuing clubs should be offered the
best Washington can produce, Harris
is inclined to regard Chicago's
threat more lightly, which is all
right with the White Sox.
Only six and one-half games OF
the pace. Chicago still is nursing a
! fond hope of creating consterna-
ton among it's more feared foes.
Although Harris is likely to use
several of his rockies here, pros
poets of the White Sox being IA

Bucky was to start the melloWing
Dutch Leonard against Jack Knott
today and doubtless will send the

mound tomorrow.

Riggs Finally Earns

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Bobby
than he ever was in victory.
The little fellow had just seen his
most priced possession, the National
Singles tennis championship trophy,
handed to Don McNeill of Oklahoma
City.
All afternoon the gallery of $500
at Forest Hills had applauded wildly
when Don came off with a fine shot
and only mildly when Bobby did.
He hadn't been a popular cham
pion and he knew it. So when the
presentation ceremony was over, and
Don was surrounded with back
slapping pals, Bobby walked through
the gathering dusk away from the
crowded press marquee, across the
court on which he had been beaten,
to dressing room under the stands
and for the first time he was the
popular kid he should be.
Riggs Game in Defeat.
The crowd gave him a sincere
burst of prolonged applause, partly
because he had been beaten, but
more because they knew that in the
past year of his reign he hadn't been
treated as champion should. And
heart-Sick as he was, he walked off
in that Charley Chaplin manner of
his with big grin on his face.
Mcneil should be popular
champion, for the forcing. dashing
style of game he played yesterday in
knocking Bobby off his throne. by
scores of 4-6, 6-8, 6-3, 6-3, 7-5,
is bound to be more popular than
Riggs purely defensive style.
Don may not have all the color in
the world. but he has lot of tennis
sense, and he'll make a show of it,
as he did yesterday. McNeill thought
he was beaten after two sets. but
said he decided ito throw caution to

Alice Marble Shares Glory.
The meeting was no new expert
ence for either Of the finalists.
Their rivalry began back in the
Junior division in 1895 and has
grown more serious with the passing
years. In the only meeting of their
last six on graSs-at Rye. N. Y, in
the Eastern grass courts-Bobby
won. Otherwise they were even

What TheyMeon
BY JOHN L. BECKLEY,
Associated Press Statistician.

NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-The air.
craft industry is busily searching
for 100000 new employees needed to
man the aircraft and engine plants
now being erected.
Employment in the industry is
now greater than at any time in the
past so that there are no longer
any experienced men to draw from
AS result, employment managers
have been enlisting men with expe-
rience in related lines and have
been setting up extensive training
programs.
Because of the growth of the
practice of letting out subcontractS
for parts and accessories, all of the
expected 100000 increase in employ
ment will not fall on engine and
aircraft makers themselves. How
ever, since many subcontractors are
located in the same area as major
plants, this does not relieve the
pinch for capable men.
A further difficulty is found in the
fact the airplane industry has
many plants concentrated around
New York City and in Southern
California. This increases the COM
petition for men in those sections.
Aircraft makers are looking for
the solution of their problem in ex-
tensive training programs for new
workers. A number of these are de-
scribed in the current issue of Avia-
ton magazine
Republic Aviation Corp. at Farm
ingdale, Long Island, for instance,
has set up training courses in public
schools in the vicinity, loaning the
necessary equipment and instruc-
tors 1t also plans to use a nearby
private aviation school operated by
former Republic employees. Tuition
is paid by the company for men
which it approves.
Grammar Aircraft, located only
a few miles away, is working closely
with a central district high school
where men are trained under the
national defense program. The
school teaches sheet metal work,
riveting, hammer work and welding.
Wright Aeronautical Corp. in Pat
erson, N. j., has tried four different
training plans: One, for engineers,
one for foremen, one for machintsts
and another for employees of its GUS
toners. The most active programs
today are for engineers and machin-
lists.
