 Championship
BY OSCAR rRALEY

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 New York, Sept. 2.-tUP)-Billy Talbert, a sandy-haired kid who took up tennis for his health, was in the unenviable position today Of be- irg America's first line of defense against the Pan-American peril to the national amateur tennis cham pionship.
 The 23-year-old Cincinnati insur- ance salesman is the next opponent of Francisco (Pancho) Segura, the bounding Ecuadorean who handles a racquet with two hands. And Tal- bert. ranked 10th nationally and fourth in the nationals, is rated the best chance of any man in the American contingent to halt the Latin Larruper.
 Talba-t, who takes insulin injec- tions daily for diabetes, has a strong net game and, tennis critics say, this is the only type player who can conquer Segura.
 Talbert and seventh seeded Gard mar Mulloy, Jacksonville, Fla, led the field into the quarter finals at Forest Hills and were joined yester- day by Segura, Alejo Russell of Ar gentina, Schroeder, and sizth-seed- ed Seymour Greenberg, Chicago.

 Moore likewise was unheralded in his debut against Irish Eddie Dolan month ago. When the husky young negro crawled through the ropes 1t was even money that he wouldn't break even.
 However, Larney, a recent gradur ate of the New York Golden Gloves, all but upset the dope as he nearly floored Dolan in the third round. Eddie got the decision but more than few fans were of the opinion that Moore's aggressiveness and harder hitting should have brought him at least a draw.

CARDS HANG ON AS COOPER AND
 BROWN CLICK
Dodgers Fail To Gain As Braves Lose 4-3 To St.
 Louis Club-Cubs Win
BY PAUL SCHEFFELS United Press Staff Correspondent

DAlNNNA hADS tDtAsAA &0AAERfkgAAANhb
 New York, Sept 2.-(UP)-.-he hot-footed St. Louis Cardinals hung on grilnly today 3 1-2 games behind the National Leagues pace-setting Dodgers with a string of six straight victories.
 The Cards had to drive uphill all the way to defeat Al Javery and the Boston Braves, 4-3, last night, thanks to strong-armed Mort Coop CTS nine-hit pitching and fiery Jimmy Browns clutch hitting, and the Dodgers failed to gain ground with their Az triumph over the Pir- ates.
 Cooper won his 18th victory and helped produce the deciding run in the eighth. Johnny Hopp opened the rally with a single off Javery, who gave up B blows and lost his first game in seven starts. Hopp moved up on a sacrifice and reached third on Martin Marion's single. Cooper beat out a hit, filling the bases and keeping the rally alive. Brown then came through with a long fly driv- ing hopp home with the deciding tally.
 Kirby Higbe won from the Pirates for the first time in his career and notched his i4th victory, holding the Bues to five hits.
 The Dodgers found Bob Klinger for single runs in the third, fourth and fifth innings on seven solid hits and then added another off Aldon Wilkie in the sixth.
 Hit The Ball
 Dolph Camlllis double and Billy Eerman's single gave them their first run in the third Tn the fourth, Dixie Walkers single, Arky Vaug- hans infield out and Augie Galan's single added another. Walker doubl- ed and Vaughan singled for one more in the fifth and the fourth came on a walk, single and Pee Wee Reese's fly.
 Frank Mccormick paced the Reds to their fifth straight win, 4-3 in Ii I innings over the Phils, who were charged with their eighth successive loss. Mccormick drove in tree runs, the first on a double in the fourth another with a single in the ninth to send the game into overtime ane the third in the ilth, with a driw against the left field wall with load. ed bases. Max Marshall opened the ilth for the Reds with a triple anc two intentional walks and set the stage for Mccormick, who connected on the first pitch.
 Chlcago's Cubs committed five er- TOTS but made l2 hits off four pitch. CTS for a I0-5 triumph over the Giants. The New Workers collected i3 hits off Claude Passeau, who won his 18th victory, but were able to score on only three innings as Chi cago kayoed two pitchers with a six run burst in the sixth.
 Tn the only American league game played, the Senators edged the In' dlang. 4-3. in 10 innings. Alex Car ragquel went the route for the Sem ators and allowed nine hits for hii seventh victory. He also began the game winning rally in the 10th witf single. George Case came through with a double and Stan Spence wal purp1sely passed. At this point Chubby Dean relieved Jim Bagb, and was belted for q single by Jim my Vernon which scored the win ming run.

 New York, Sept. 2-CUP)-Joe Dempsey, long, tall guy who looks like Abraham Lincoln without whiskers, said, Jacks got his mitts up again and God pity the Japs"
 Joe Dempsey, older brother of the Manassa mauler, Jack, continued. Ever since Jack put on that coast guard uniform he's been just like he was when he was a kid-when he used to square off-and put up his fists.
 T never could understand what happened to Jack when he squared of. He was a different feller en- tirely, even when boy. Take him at home-at the supper table-any of it's always could win an argu- ment with him. And if there was free -for-all on the street, Jack never wanted any part of it. But when he squared of against one man-even me, his brother-he was terribly heayy-handed. I mean those big fists of his were like sledge hammers. Once he hit me on the side of the jaw so hard, my jaw swelled up like I was chewin' a whole wad of tobaccer."
 Gangling Jce Dempsey was born in Manassa, Colo, the same mourl- tain camp in which the great Jack Dempsey first started throwing around his fists in his cradle, but brother Joe talks and looks like a West Virginia hill billy because his father came from those mountains and peaceful Joe picked up all the mannerisms of his dad, who in his youth was a fiddler at square dances.
 We met long Joe at Dempsey's Broadway tavern, where he went 10 meet Lieutenant Jack, on overnight leave from the coast guard. Tan JOG is running the tavern while the for mer heavyweight champion IS 1T service.
 Can't Talk
 Be careful how you talk to Jack now, because he's really got his nstl up." Joe continued, and he's heavy nanQeQ III tae NaAf

they are ready. They get at least a week of instruction in what to do with their fists, before they ever put on the gloves.
 This later weight-for- weight fighting is important because it ae- customs a man to react properly when hit on the rose or in the belly. You can't become a fighter without practice, any more than you can play a piano or typewriter without training. Nobody actually gets hurt, but the nervous system becomes ae- customed to violent body contact.
 Two things have amazed me about the men I have instructed in boxing. First, virtually noEe oi them knows how to fight with their fists = even have t0 tell most Of them to hit with their knuekles, and show them how, Secondly, they catch onto the fighting business so quickly. that I'm convinced that Americans are the most natural born fighters in the world. Instrue- tors in the other arts - wrestling and jlu-jitsu tell me the same thing"

That's all wrong Already for the Coast Guard Is fighting on practically every front in the var where there are ships and shores The Coast duarders are fighting along with the Marines and sailors. and giving a very good account oi themselves.
