FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Sept. l.
The good neighbor movement In
tennis isn't receiving much encour-
agement from the current contend

best thing that ever happened for
tennis in Latin America" will take
place.
That would be victory for Ecua-
doris Pancho Segura, the top-seeded
player, in the singles championship
and for the Mexican brother team
of Armando and Rolando Vega in
the doubles. II that should happen,
it would be the first time both titles
left the United States in one year.

Detroit won the American League
August pennant by roaring
through ~ games with 10 victories

the st. Louis Browns on the run
within easy shooting distance of
the Tigers, Yankees and Red Sox.
One diversified horse blanket
would cover the four contenders,
all grouped within 31a games of the
Brownies, but New York rested in
second spot at the moment, only
two lengths back.
Steve O'Neills Bengals were a
game back Of the Yanks, but the
schedule, calling for them to play
18 Of their remaining 20 games at
Briggs Stadium, favored them over
the Mccarthy clan which finishes
with 10 Of its ~ on the road.
Yanks Also Gain Ground.

play proved decisive as the Brownies

Boston, with 10 of 26 away, got the
worst break from the playing chart
During the last month the Tigers
showed wide superiority over the
field although they spent most of
August in the East and were tied
with Chicago for fifth August l
The Yanks gained ground by TAX

Boston just stuck above water with

Dizzy Trout and Hal Newhouser
personally accounted for l3 of the
Tigers 10 triumphs and only two
OF their defeats. Trout's victory
streak, started July 20 with a re-
lief win over the Yanks, was stretch
ed to nine last night by his eighth
successive August victory.
Dublin Slab Loser.
The twin ace of the Tiger staff
who has pitched &c complete games
stepped in to grab a 4-3 verdict
over St. Louis in the opener of an
important four game set and helped
win his own game with a ninth
inning single. Trout later was forced
at second, but the man who
forced him, Doc Cramer, scored the
big run on Pinky Higgins single
after an infield out. The veteran
Willis Dublin, brought up from
Little Rock, was the loser, relieving
Sig Jakucki.
While the Tigers and Browns pre-
pared for their night game, the
Yanks grabbed a pair from Wash
ington, 81 and 4-3.
No other American leaguers were
scheduled and the entire National

Louis Will Be Better
Scrapper After War,
Wet Trainer Says
By BOB MCLEAN,

Joe Louis will be better boxer
than ever when he's mustered out
of the Army, and he's got at least
five more years OF first-class box
ing in him."
That's the opinion Of Larry
Amadee, veteran trainer of Louis,
who's in town with his latest pupil,
the 18-year-old Pittsburgh welter-
weight, Bee Bee Wright. Wright
fights Nick Latsios in the ball park
Tuesday night, and Amadee is SUI
pervising final training at Turner's
Arena.
Sure, Joe has picked up a lot Of
weight, but we can get that OF him
easily. Joe always did eat a lot
and I guess that Army chow has
been putting on the poundage.
Billy Conn has put on some heft,
too, and most boxers are coming
out of the service with too much
weight.
Says LayofY Won't Hurt.

hurt Louis any. In fact, I think it
will help him. Joe always was one
Of the cleanest living boys I've ever
handled, and with the rest he's get

should have one Of the longest fight

| The crafty handler, whose opinion
on physical conditioning of athletes
is highly respected. said that he'd
heard lot about the difnculty boys
will have coming out of service and
regaining their former spots in
sports. That's lot of nonsense"
Larry says. Those boys are going
to be better than ever. Only thing
Is, they should take it little easy
when they first get out and round
into top condition slowly. There's
been a few cases when former great
boxers have been discharged one
week and rushed into a bout the
next. That doesn't do the boy or
boxing any good"
Calls Conn Top Rival.
Amadee was asked who he thought
would be the champs principal COM

the handler said There is nobody
around who is in the same class
with Billy and Joe, although I think
this Jimmy Bivins may turn out
well. Bettina? He's not in Louis
class yet, but he's coming along fast.
This Joe Baksi is shaping up, and
when they teach him some speed
and footwork, he may be a con-
tender"
Ringworms in the dressing room
with Amadee and Wright yesterday
afternoon were curious about how
he changed Beau Jack, the Georgia
bootblack, from a plodding puncher
into the brilliant fighter he is to-
day. Condition" was the answer.
That boy had the stun. All he
needed was somebody to take care
of his training and get him into
shape"
Amadee thinks he has another
champion in Bee Bee Wright, and
predicts no trouble for the youngster
in Tuesday nights brawl with Nick
Latsios. This kid has the same
thing that helped to make Louis and
Jack great" he said. He lives
clean as whistle and he's got
plenty of natural ability. You can't
