Newport, R. T., Aug. IT (UP) Second seeded Bill Talbert of Cincinnati, O., held the Newport Casino invitation tennis tournament championship today after upsetting favored Ted Schroeder of Los An geles, GA, 6-3, 3-6, 4-6, 8-6.
 Talbert displayed 8 more effec- tive service and sharper placement shots yesterday than the nations f1fth-ranking player who seemed er- ratio, frequently hitting over the baseline and netting the ball. The long match was featured by pro- tracted rallies.
 Schroeder trailed through most of the first two asets, playing some what hstlessly, but he rallied to take the third set. Then, after a 10-min- ute rest period, he returned to even up the match.
 Comeback
 In the deciding set, Talbert, won the first game but Schroeder tied 1t up and then ran his lead to Az However, the Ohio youth took ad- vantage of the Californian's ineffec- tive service to break through and tie the match. Talbert broke through Schroeder's service again in the 14th game to win.

Pittsburgh braWl was most unfortu- nate. The reams of questionable publicity received by Private Conn cooled off army officials on the fight, and when Jacobs proposed Bob Pas tor as a substitute for Billy-the- Kid against Louis, he was given the icy shoulder in Washington. To make matters worse, Pastor was held to a 10-round draw by young Tami Mauriello on May 9.
 Breakdown
 Meanwhile, the navy began crack ing down on its boxers. On June Is, light heavyweight champion Gus Lesnevich, training for title de- fense against Nose Brown at Pitts burgh, had his furlough cancelled. The fight was called off. On June IS the navy department that no navy sports teams or individuals would be permitted to particaipate in commercially sponsored shows. On the same day the war depart ment ruled that Joe Louis must complete his basic training before making any more public appear ances. On June g Corporal Louis, alone left for Fort Riley, Kas. And that was that.
 Recently Melio Bettina, former light heavyweight champion, was inducted into the army after an impressive campaign that left him unbeaten as heavyweight. Many experts consider him a logical op- ponent for Louis, since he never fought bomber Joe. Promoter Jacobs never shared that opinion, being sold on Conn. But whether army off cials will give consideration to Bet tina is as uncertain as whether they'll even consider Louis fight.

Davis BraSScOS
 Lose In Ninth 1O-9

Though they have yet to become "sure of themselves" under the lights above a night baseball game, Waterbury's Davi Brasscos were again defeated, but not disgraced Saturday night at Municipal Sta dium when the Brooklyn Royal Col cred Giants scored three runs in the ninth inning, to win a nip and tuck game 10 to g. Five errors discounted the Brasscos chances, though the losers got 13 hits against 10 for the colored performers who spotted the Brasscos a first in- ming run, then got three in the third, as the locals tallied in the same inning to make it 3-2, and then take 6-3 lead when four run fourth inning as Hardenburgh, Brassco pitcher singled, moved to second on Francello's single, both scoring on Bobby Rays three-base wallop with two more runs coming in on Jimmy Sheehan's home run into the left field blackness.
 Too Bad
 An unfortunate substitution of a pinch runner was made, Kane for Mariana, the Brassco pitcher, the latter being caught off base, as Creddo, who had stolen third base was also caught trying to score. Francello's single after that esca- pade was fruitless, as the base runners had been retired. Fran cello and Ray hit hard for the Brasscos while the Giants got ten runs on ten hits and the five Brassco miscues. Hardenburgh started for the Brasscos and was relieved in the sixth by Mariana.

New York, Aug 17.-As someone remarked at the moment, Larry MacPhail must have been reading his newspaper upside down when he looked at the National League standings.
 The Brooklyns had just made 1t two straight shutouts over the Phils. Larry French, windfall, was fresh from scoring his 18th victory as against single defeat. The Dodgers were eight games in front.
 Yet Loud Speaker MacPhail called his men to an open meeting in the press room and blasted them for 1ackadaisica1 performances. The un- practicable MacPhail asserted that only Pete Reiser, Pee Wee Reese, Joe Mdwick, Micky Owen, Curt Davis, Southpaw French and Hugh Casey were hustling.
 "The Brooklyn club has paid $5,- 044.26 for bats," he announced, land if you fellows can't get any better use out of them than you've been getting lately maybe could use them for fence posts on my Mary laI1Q 1dTIn:
 President MacPhail kept the bear ball argument alive by shouting. ri pitchers throw at our players vel give them two for one and don't care whether it costs $200 or $400.' That was by way of replying tc Ford Tricks ruling that managers will be fined $200 automatically when their pitchers are reported tc have thrown purposely at batters.
 Muscles Medwick guessed he hac been thrown at 30 times this sea- son. Banjo Eyes Herman's estimate was 20.
 MacPhail chided the American League for it's contribution to tht war effort.

NEWSPAPER STORY FILM AT
 10TH CENTURY
Roar of inc Pres" Stars Jean Parker, Wallace
 Ford, Jed Prouty

One of the neatest packages of entertainment to be delivered to local film fans this season is Roar of the Press is said to be the fast-moving Monogram com c d drama starring Jean Parker and Wallace Ford, which opens at the goth Century, Sunday.
 The picture follows the trials and tribulations of small-town girl who marries demon newshawk and finds that his editor seems to have first call on her groom's loyalty. At least it appears Lpat way when he leaves her on their wedding night to cover a murder that happens in front of their hotel The murder trail leads to still an other killing and from that to the secret headquarters of Fifth Col umn organization.
 While his bride alternates be- tween pouts and fears, the re- porter gets in as wild a series of escapades as ever befell any news gatherer. To top it all off, both he and his bride are kidnapped by strong arm men in the employ of the Fifth Columnists.
 It takes some very shrewd ma neuvering on the part of the small town girl to get them out. of this dangerous predicament. The action alternates between suspense and hi- larity with never a letdown in the fast leading roles, Jean Parker and Wallace Ford do some of their fin est work. Jed Prouty is excellent as the managing editor and tric of former headliners, Betty Comp son, Dorothy Lee and Evalyn Knapp give competent support.
