Seeks New Honor

SOUTHAMPTON. L. l., Aug. %
CUP'-Francisco GPancho) Segura,
Ecuador, pointed today to the ma
tional championships next week at
Forest Hills, having captured the
53rd annual Southampton invita-
tional tourney.
In the finals played at the
Meadow club here yesterday, Segura
defeated Sidney Wood, former
Davis cup star of New York, in
straight sets, 6-3, 7-5, 81, adding
the title to his conquests of the
national intercollegiate, eastern
grass, eastern intercollegiate and
the New Jersey tournaments this
year.
Wood tired in yesterdays play
and was unable to take advantage
of Seguras errors, although he
carried the third set to l6-games.
Seguras only defeat in tourna-
ment this season was early in this
round robin series by Seymour
Greenberg of Chicago, national
clay courts champion. Greenberg S

SAN FRANSISCO. Aug. 23.-CUPl
"A look at the windup of the Pac-
ific coast league baseball race;
So far as the league-leading Los
Angeles Angels are concerned, you
would hardly call it a race. With
three weeks to go and the Angeles
parked in first place l5ie games
ahead of San Francisco, William
Joseph Sweeney's men are voted
most likely t osucceed in the reg
ular esason pennant battle.
Some good scraps may material
ize for the remaining three places
in the Shaughnessy playoff that
follows the close of the season Sept.
-, however.
SEALS SET BACK
Lefty O'Doul's Seals, who had
their winning streak rudely inter-
rupted by their transbay rivals from
Oakland last week, have another
series with the Pesky Acorns this
week. If they drop another So de-
cision, their second place spot may
be jeopardized.
In fact, the final three weeks will
see the top four teams in the lea
gue-Los Angeles, San Francisco,
Seattle and Portland-banging each
other around constantly.
Los Angeles meets birthplace
Hollywood again this week, after
squeezing out a 4-3 series win last
week, and then goes North to end
the season with series at Portland
and Seattle.
The Seals follow up Oakland with
engagements in Seattle and Port
land. And Seattle and Portland
tangle this week before taking on
the Southerners.
COULD OVERHAUL SEALS
Manager Bill Skiff's Rainiers, now
912 games behind San Francisco
and 25 games behind the Angels,
are well entranched in third place
and could overhaul the Seals. The
Portland Beavers, six games be-
hind Seattle. still nave a chance to
advance, however, in the dog--eat-
dog finale.
And the Hollywood Stars, five
and one half games behind Port
land, cannot be counted out of the
playoffs. The Twinks get a re-
latively easy finish after their
Los Angeles series, meeting eight
place Sacramento and seventh
place San Diego.
The Oakland Acorns, eight games
behind fourth-place Portland, and
the Padres, a game behind Oak
land, both have slim chance of
getting into the playoffs, but it's
slim. indeed.
If the Angels, Seals. Rainiers and
Beavers keep their present top four
spots. the playoffs can start i'm
in the North. with the
first and third teams meeting in
one series and the second and
fourth in the second. The finales
would then move South.

18th to drive in the winning run of
the. second game. Vern Kennedy
was the winner.
The Philadelphia Athletic S
stretched the seasons longest los
ing streak to II games by dropping
a twin bill to the Chicago White
Sox, So in the first and 80 in the
second. Edgar Smith was the win
ner of the opener and third base
man Tony Cuccinello homered in
the ninth to give Johnny Humph-
ries the second game.
BROWNS WIN
The ST. Louis Browns extended
their longest winning streak of the
season to six games by defeating
the Washington Senators, 8-5 and
then snapped it in the second game
by bowling, Az in 10 innings. Bob
Muncrief notched his 10th win in
the opener, defeating early Wynn.
Alex Carrasquel relieved Milo Can
DIM in the ninth inning of the sec
ond game and his single started a
rally that gave him credit for the
victory.
In the National league, the Gin
cinnati Reds took over sole pos
session of second place by defeat
ing the Philadelphia Phillies by the
narrowest of margins in the first
and to the other extreme in the
nightcap.
Clyde Shoun saved Elmer Rid
dies 18th victory in the opener with
nice relief hurting to nip the
Phillies, 4-3. With the tying and
winning runs on base, Shoun made
Babe Dahlgren fly out to end the
game. The second contest was a
