200 New Models

Upwards of 100000 worth Of
1912 cars will be on dress pa
rade." There VIII be at least loo
new models, as against the 200
which space limits at the Auto
Show.
1t will be a neighborly affair.
The usual parking problem that
mars the annual show will be
missing. Comparison between dif-
ferent makes will be easy, despite
the fact that the exhibits are de-
centralized, because dealerships
are concentrated in various sec
tons, and with little trouble al
most every make can be inspected.
Far-sighted owners will have a
good opportunity to shop carefully
for a new or used car which they
may drive for the duration" The
new model will be frozen for
at least two years.

SEA BRIGHT, N. j., July 26.-
Bobby Riggs, a veteran of all the
worlds tennis classics at %, wrote
a new chapter into the records of
the historic Sea Bright invitation
tournament today and did it with
the ease of a true champion.
BY polishing off Ted Schroeder Of
Glendale, Calf, in straight sets. Ga,
6-4. 60, the former national cham
pion became the first player in the
tournament 54-year history to win
the coveted Sea Bright singles bowl
for the fourth time-an achievement
which escaped such stars as Bill
Tilden. Winnie Richards and Ellis
worth Vines.
Schr0eder's Net Game Checked.
1t took the notwithstanding Chi
cagoan little more than an hour to
dispose of the 20-year-old Schroeder,
who had established himself as the
giant killer of the tournament by
upsetting National Champion Don
McNeill and Wayne Sabin in his
march to the final Riggs, whose
string of triumphs here was started
in 1887 and was interrupted in 1889
by frankie Parker, held the upper
hand from the moment ne opened
the match with blistering service
ace.
Weary from his gruelling five
set struggle yesterday with Sabin,
Schroeder was unable to gear him
self up to the spectacular net game
which carried him into the final.
The cagey Riggs drove his shots
deep to the baseline and kept
Schroeder back on his heels most
of the time. When Schroeder did
manage to reach the net, Riggs
usually was able to pass him.
Both players held service for the
first six games of the first set, but
Schroeder was having trouble and
the expected break came in the
eighth game.
Drops Only One Set in Meet.
In the second set, Schroeder won
three games in succession to wipe
out 80 deficit. But after carry

ST. LOUIS, July 26.-Blond Ernie
White, the rookie with the rubber
arm who won three straight games
from the New York Giants, returned
to the mound again this afternoon
after one full days rest and pitched
the Cardinals to a 9 to 2 victory
over the Boston Braves.
1t enabled the league-leading
Redbirds to maintain a one-game
margin over the Brooklyn Dodgers.
White Helps With Double.
In hanging up this record OF four
wins in five days the young south
paw from Pacolet Mills, S. c..
showed fine control and raped out
q double which scored a run early
in the contest when it looked as if
the Cards might need 1t.
White yielded only one pass,
struck out six batters and held the
enemy to seven hits, three of which
were punched in the fifth.
1t was his 11th victory of the year
against three setbacks.
After three hitless innings and a
fourth in which a single did no
harm, he faltered briefly and the
grandstand coaches began to specu-
late on Billy Southworth's strategy
in calling out his "rookie-of the
year" candidate so. soon.
Two successive doubles and a
single accounted for two runs but
White stopped the rally and pitched
out Of the jam. The Cardinal
bonbers then found their range and
quickly gave him q winning margin.
