Tennis Escapes
As World Goes
Topsy-Turvy
Three Fumiliur Faces
Return to Finals of
u. S. Tournament
BY BILL WHITE,
Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Sept. 9-In this
rapidly changing world, it's nice to
know that there is some status quo
left.
Take tennis, for example. Last
year in the final of the national
singles at Forest Hills, Alice Mar
BILE played Helen Jacobs for the
women's title and Robert L. Riggs
played Welby Van Horn for the
mems title.
Today if you have ticket for the
big concrete stadium in the swanky
suburb you'll recognize three Of the
old faces.
Miss Marble and Miss Jacobs will
meet for the third time in the ma
tionals. Miss Marble won on both
previous occasions and there is no
reason to believe that the 32-year-
old Miss Jacobs, her best playing
days far behind. will remove Miss
Marble from her throne.
Also Riggs will take the center
court against the only stranger in
the group. He's really no stranger;
he's Don McNeill of Oklahoma City,
regarded all this season as the one
hope that tennis next year will have
a new ruler.
The way Mcneil raced through,
around and over Jack Kramer, the
young California giant killer, in the
semifinals yesterday impressed
MISUNDERSTANDING Riggs. He did
it by 81, 81, Ga, 6-3.
For Bobby had had bad day Of
it. barely outlasting the erratic Joe
Hunt, the Naval Academy's prize
athlete, in a five-set lullaby that
practically put all 10000 customers
to sleep, lasting over two and a half
hours.
Riggs was far off form while Hunt
was determined to avenge some of
the lickings he's, taken in the past.
He almost did it, and might have
but for his own errors, which were
numerous and very costly. The
score was 4-6, 6-3. ST, S3, Ga.
Miss Jacobs, getting into the final
for the eighth time in her 15-year
career as a top tenniser, stopped
Mary Hardwick, England's No. Q
star, 2-6, 81, Ga, while Miss
Marbles scores over another Eng
lish girl, Valerie Scott, were 6-3,
6-3.

Teller Recalled
From Vacation
To Win oath
Bridges Saves Rowe:
Champs Nail Boil;
Brooklyn Gains
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

Nobody knows exactly who is run
ming the Cleveland Indians, but
when Bob Teller goes out there on
the mound everybody knows who's
pitching, win, lose or draw.
Last Wednesday the Detroit Tigers
roughed up Bob so. ruthlessly that
Manager Ossie Witt announced
Teller would be rested until Tuesday,
when the New York Yankees invade
Cleveland.
But there he was yesterday, back
on the hill doing a relief chore for
the beleaguered Tribe and getting
credit for his twenty-fourth victory.
He went to the mound at the start
of the ninth with the score tied at
A and hurled two scoreless stanZas
Zone hit, three strikeouts. one walk
before jeff Heath doubled and scored
the run that beat the Chicago White
SoX, ga, in the tenth.
Tribe Ends Losing Streak.
This broke a six-game tailspin by
the Indians and kept them mathe-
matically in front of the Tigers, al
though the two are tied in games
won and lost. The Yanks also won
to stay game behind.
Detroit battled courageously from
behind again to beat the st. Louis
Prou-nc "a Cchoolhor Dorra e,,J
denly blew a piston and let the
Browns score four runs in the fourth
inning before he could get help.
Dizzy Trout loaded the bases in the
seventh and finally Tommy Bridges
was called out for his first relief job
of the year. He got credit for his
tenth victory when Rudy York
homered in the eighth to break a
tie score.
The Yankees overwhelmed the
Red SoX, ga, to dim Boston's pen
nant hopes, although the club is
only five games behind the lead
erS and at least technically in range.
The game was close until the
Bombers blasted out four runs in
the eighth inning. Spud Chandler
held the Red Sox to eight hits.
The Cincinnati Reds were SPELL
bound by Vern Olsen and the Chi
cago Cubs captured a 81 decision
by punching 10 hits in the first six
innings against Milkman Jim Tur-
ner.
Dodgers Twice Whip Giants.
This was the cue for the Brooklyn
Dodgers to take a double header
from the New York Giants and they
did, 7-2 and 40, to shave the mar
gin between first and second place
IN the National League to 6i2
games. But they hardly raised any
pennant temperatures even among
the crowd of 53,623 that saw the
Dodgers at work.
In the first game Curt Davis
checked the Giants on six hits, while
his teammates batted Carl Hubbeu
to the showers, largely on three
run homer by Dolph Camilli in the
fifth. The second game went II
innings before Brooklyn broke 1t
I'D with a walk and three singles.
The Pittsburgh Pirates swept a
double header from the st. Louis
Cardinals, 1914, and 5-4, and took
over third place.
The last place Phillies turned the
tables on the Boston Bees and cops
ped a double bill, 81 and 81, the
first game going II innings as Kirby
Higbe and Dick Erickson waged
a pitching duel.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 9.-Owner Of
two new hom-run marks, Slugger
Johnny Mize today eyed the Ma
tional Leagues season record of Sc
established by Hack Wilson 10 years
ago.
The Cardinals first baseman
crecked three homers against the
Pittsburgh Pirates yesterday to be-
come the first major league batter
to hit three homers in one game
four times.
Leading Both Leagues.
Mize was the first to turn the
trick twice in one season, bagging
three homers July IS, 1888, and three
more seven days later. Since he hit
three in a game at Cincinnati early
this year, he also is the first major
Lacquer to accomplish it twice in
two different seasons.
Lou Gehrig had three round
trippers in one game three times
and four in another game.
Mics Al homers tops both major
leagues and only Jimmy Fox of the
Boston Red Sox, who has IS, ap-
parently has chance to catch him.
Eight Homers Behind Babe.
On time basis, the st. Louis star
is eight homers behind Babe Ruth's
1927 record of so. Ruth, on Septem-
Der 8, had 40 to his credit.
The Cardinals have rs more games
to play and Mize has chance--but
only that-to equal or better the
marks of Wilson and Ruth. Six
games are with the Cincinnati Reds
and the Brooklyn Dodgers and it's
a cinch the managers of those clubs
won't be cooperative with record
breaking aspirations. They'll order

pinches.

Undefeated Brewers
Tackle Waterbury
In National Meet
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept. g.
Fourteen teams, six of them with
unblemished records, began third
round play today in the champion
ships of the National Amateur Base
ball Federation. In undefeated ranks
are Washington's Heurich Brewers,
who remained among the tourney
favorites by smashing out a 6-to-2
triumph over the Fort Wayne QndO
representative.
Today the Brewers were matched
against Waterbury. Conn, which
drew a bye yesterday.
Heurich was impressive both at
field and at bat as it won through
the second round yesterday, collect
ing 10 hits of two Fort Wayne hurl-
ers. Lacey, Washington pitcher,
had things under control all the way
and pitched shutout ball after the
fourth inning, by which time his
team was in the lead.
1t was a three-run rally Iii the
fourth frame which swung things in
Washington's favor, three singles
and passed ball accounting for the
markers. Two more runs in the
fifth and one in the sixth added to
the Brewers edge.
Atlanta, Empire, Ala; Youngs-
town, Ohio; Chicago and Baltimore
were defeated for second time yes
terday and went to the sidelines. In
games today Pittsburgh, winner over
Cleveland, ga, was to face Frost
burg, Md, which defeated one of the
favorites, Dayton, 81. Royal Oak,
Mich, which bested Chicago, 1916,
goes against Dearborn, Mich, 10-to-2
winner over Memphis.
Detroit, another pre- tourney
choice, was scheduled against Cleve-
land after winning over Empire, Ala,
10-1, and New York, after turning
back Youngstown, Ohio, ga, was to
meet Barberton, Ohio, winner over
Atlanta, 80
Birmingham, which eliminated
Baltimore, 40, was pitted against
Memphis, while the last game on
today's card has Dayton opposing
Fort Wayne.

1t may be too early to take run
ming broad jump at a conclusion,
but thus far Washington's inspection
of its rookie crop hasn't created
great glee among followers of the
Mats. To date none of the recent
importations has evoked any en-
thusiasm.
With the exception of First Base
man Jack Sanford, who is batting
mild .143 in Is games, the recent
recruits haven't been granted any,
thing approaching an adequate test.
That will come on the road, with
the Mats leaving today on a trip
which will cover every American
League city before returning to
Griffith Stadium late this month
to end the season with brace of
games against the Yankees.

Secretary of the Treasury Henry
Morgenthau, Jr., today forecast a
record peacetime deficit of approx
imately 700,000,000 and urged

Morgenthau was the first wit
ness before the House Ways and
Means committee in a general hear
ing on excess profits taxation. Less
than two months ago Congress en-
acted special tax bill increasing
hundreds of nuisance, income, in
heritance and other levies to fin

CelVlHS new lnSLrucClOIlS from red

The jury, which has been debat-
ing the fate of Oswalt and four
others since Monday afternoon, to-
day asked that all testimony re-
lating to circumstances surround

H. Yamatoda, Japanese gambling
czar, was taken from Ell Centro
to Mexicali be read.
Previously Judge Jenney had
pointed out that unless the jury
was satisfied Oswalt knew that
Yamatoda was to be taken across
the line, they could not convict
him as the case in that event would
not come under federal statutes.
His opinion was given in answer
to a question by the jury.
Should the jury. after reviewing
testimony regarding the ride to
Mexicali' and asserted dumping"
of Yamatoda across the border,
find that Oswalt was not aware
of the plot, they would have no
alternative but to acquit the for
mer chief in light of Jenney's most
recent instructions.
The question of whether or not
Oswalt was aware of the kidnapping
plot was first raised late Thursday
night when the jurors questioned
Jenney whether Oswalt could be
adjudged guilty of conspiracy to
kidnap Yamatoda if he did not

has it been the fault of industry.
II have received no evidence that
at any time there has been any
tendency on the part of industry
to hold back on the army in these
negotiations.
1.-THE entire program of airplane
construction is so far SO large that
it necessarily involves a great ex-
pansion of existing plant facilities
and the construction of new ones
to meet the requirements of our
army in the present emergency.
Industry may be expected to
undertake normal risks. But the
risk to industry of undertaking at

had invited him to testify on the
pending excess profits tax bill which
contains provisions for amortiza-
ton.
Stimson said amortization plans
were vitality important to expan-
sion of airplane production, and
launched into a discussion of Pres
ident Roosevelt's recommendations
for increasing Americas air
strength.
Recounting the huge appropria-
tionS, he said:
I'm other words, Congress made
available to the army during the
month of June approximately $400,-
100000 for airplanes, engines and
accessories. Yet, today, almost seven
weeks later, we have been able to
sign contracts for the construction
of but 33 planes of the 1000 and
more for which these appropria-
tionS were made.
The fault, gentlemen, is not with
the army Stimson said. $50 far
as I am aware, there has been no
undue delay in the preparation
of the army's specifications and
designs for the contracts. The
fault has certainly not been with
the advisory commission. The men,
bers of that body have brought to
