If the fond hope of President

(Schoolboy) Rowe. who has been
placed on the waiver list by the
Detroit Tigers and promptly pur-
sued by Washington.
Griffith has filed a claim for the
towering right t-hander, who has won
only four games and lost five this
season after capturing is and drop
ping three last year to figure promi-
nently in the Tigers snatching Of
the American League pennant.
Passed over by Griffith were
Pitcher Tommy Bridges and Out
fielder Tuck Stainback, who also
were on the Tigers waiver list.

nine In 1910. has won only five and
lost seven this season. while Stain

Manager Del Baker has been in
clined to feel Rowe's lapse. as well
as Bridges, may be attributed to
the wear and tear of long service.
The Detroit pilot, in placing them
on the waiver list, thus has taken
the first step toward reconstructing
the Tigers along more youthful
lines.
Now nestled in the American
League cellar, the Mats claim on
Rowe automatically will send him
to Washington unless Detroit with
draws his name from the list and
later attempts to make deal with
Griffith for his services.
Twenty-nine years old, Rowe no
longer is equipped with the fast
ball that swept him to fame. Last
year, though, he enjoyed a success
full season by blending a clever as
sortment of pitches with control
and finesse. Griffith apparently is

SOUTHAMPTON, N. Y, Aug. T.
AS far as the customers were con-
cerned, double-header day at the
5lst annual Meadow Club invitation
tennis tournament yesterday was a
real bargain bill. In two rounds OF
play the fans saw everything from
Bobby Riggs drop shots to Frank
Kovacs' repertory of strokes and
jokes.
Kovacs meant 1t the other day
when he said his clowning days
were behind him, but his designs
for decorum went awry late in his
quarter-flnal victory over Robin
Hippenstiel when Frankie suffered
a cramp in his calf From that
point he did everything but rendi-
ton of Hamlet.
Segura a Hit With Fans.
Pancho Segura, the Ecuadortan
champ whom Kovacs defeated dur
ing the morning, also caught the
crowds fancy. Pancho shakes his
head unbelieyingly whenever he
pulls off a good shot, and in three
sets against Kovacs he reeled of
plenty of good ones.
There wasn't a laugh in carload
of Riggs dropshots, but there was
plenty of trouble for Seymour
Greenberg and Bitsy Grant, Bobby's
victims. If Riggs gets past Gardnar
Mulloy and Kovacs lcks Red

Frankie and Bobby will meet in the
final, with Riggs trying to reverse

ST. LOUIS, Aug. If the Car
dinals can dodge the injury jinx the
rest of the season the club will win
the National League pennant, says
Manager Billy Southworth.
The team entered the Brooklyn
series, which they split to retain
their two-game lead, with the line
up at fun strength for the first time
since opening day when Catcher
Gus MancuSo was removed with q
badly bruised and sprained finger.
Barring further injuries the Car
dinals will win the pennant," South
worth asserted. "It is only because
of excellent replacements, and be-
cause we've really played to win,
that the club has stayed on top this
long"
Mancuso went out at just the time
his experience behind the place was
necessary to balance the roster OF
Young hurlers carried by the club.
He was out IL days.
Casualty List Grows.
Before Gus could get back IN
action. Pitcher Clyde Shoun, veteran
workhorse of whom much was ex-
pected, iammed his ankle sliding into
third base and he limped on the
sidelines until May 10. Since then
Shoun has been pounded from the
box more times than the club would
like to remember.
While Mancuso and Shoun were
nursing their injuries. Right-f1elder
Enos Slaughter, who wields wicked
bat, reported to the teams physician
for treatment of an ailment that
has caused his removal of and on
since the start of the season.
Walker Cooper, brilliant rookie
catcher was the next victim.
He was in a collision e. the plate
May I8 and came out second best
with broken shoulder blade.
Cooper didn't get back into armor
until July 49, And old Gus Mancuso
was strapped in behind the plate
with his legs bandaged and his
weary body crying for succor. pa
tiently doing a good job until his
younger teammate once more made
his appearance.
Just a week later, May Is, slugger

but before he returned Third Base
