 New York, sept. 2o.--tUp)--IeS Jahn, nationally known tennis in- structor, predicts that tho net game will go basebalp during the post- war period.
 Red.headed Jahn, professional at the Orange Lawn Tennis club, South orange, N. J., and at the exclusive 0rahan-1ckes school, Palm Beach, Fla, says that the two-handed drive, larger racquets and on accent on power will feature play during the next decade.
 within the next 10 years many top-fiight players will be gripping larger racquets like baseball bats, 1" he sold during chat ct the 9toFk Club. They'll Do using the double grip, somewhat after the faShion of Pancho Segura and Jack Broifl- wich. But, unlike them, they'll be using c terrific two-handed serve"
 Jahn emphasized that, while double-grippers segurA of Ecuador and BrolnWich of Australia are now considered freak" performers, ad- vanced students of the game are becoming convinced that they have introduced c style which will rev- olutlonize tennis. It will Do the most important change in tho love sport since Maury Mclaughlin pops lilariEed the top spin back around 1912.
 Jahn, who Is ambldextrous- -can play c complete match with either hand--continued, "the double grip Is certain to feature future play because 1t not only provides in. creased power but also assures less expenditure of energy by the over- worked right wriSt-weakest link in the tennis chain. And it permits greater accuracy with side spin the flat ball,
 "Tennis is a conservative game. Changes always are opposed bitter. ly by the gray boards, who for exs ample, objected loudly and length. fly to the introduction of shorts AS permissible court costume. con. servatlve instructors will be relue- tHnV hJ 0TbU bO JehCH bkle uVuptV grip technique, lest they be regard cd as freak professors. But they'll fall into line.
 T have been experimenting for some time with certain private pupils, with surprising results. For example, there's an iisyear. girl in South orange who can doubie- grip her way to victory over 20.year. old girls In her area, and beat many of the teon-age boys, the double grip b particularly helpful to youngsters because 1t enables them to use adult raequetS-to play the adult game"
 The reporter asked jahn for an explanation of segura's failure to win the title at the recent Forest Hills national championships, if the double grip was such c potent secret weapon"
 Jahn replied. "scgura is . top. flight player only because of his double grip, But even with this aid, he Is too short to Do c cham. pion--too short ever to be great

 New York, September 20, (uP) - The cry of Hold that Tiger echoed through the American league today but 1t appeared that there was no one capable of carrying out that refrain.
 without benert of either music or Lyrics, the Tiger in question, the Detroit Tigers, held a game and Q half lead in the tight Junior Cir- cult pennant chase, their strongest of the season, And with Dizzy Trout, Q 24-gOne winner slated to oppose the New York Yankees in today's contest, the Bengals were favored to increase or ct least m0in- tain their advantage,
 Hal Newhouser southpawed the champions into A-l submission in the first of their important three game series yesterday to drop the Tanks to three full games off the pace. It was Newhouser's 26th tri- umph of the campaign and the sixth time In seven starts that he has beaten New York, He had Q Shutout working until the ninth in- ming when Johnny Lindell tagged him for Q homerun, the eighth of the eight hits he doled out,
 Hank Borowy, nee of the Yankee staff, allowed the BengAls oight hits too but the Tigers punched theirs to score first inning run, two more In the sixth and the other in the eighth, Newhouser allowed only one New Yorker with the exception of Lindell to get to third base and only two aS far as second in re- cording his sixth straight victory,
 The second place St, Louis Browns last Q tough one to the Washington Senators to drop Q game and Q half behind Detroit, Battling to c 0-0 tie through 10 innings, the st, Louis defense collapsed in the iith and permitted six Washington runs to score As their eX-teammGte, Johnny Niggeling, shut them out, 6-0, Mig geling scattered four hits through 10 innings and his relief pitcher, Roger Wolff, pitched hitless ball In the lith to preserve his triumph, Denny 0alehopSe was the loser and was started Showerward when Rick Terrell, who had doubled, scored after two were out when Mike Kree- vieh was unable to field George Cnse's fly ball, A walk and a single finished dalehouSe and lao left the game trailing SO. George Caster came In and gave Up c double and single for the other three runs,
 The Cleveland Indians threw con. siderable cold water on tho pen- nant hopes of the fourth place Bos. ton Red SoX, dropping them five games off the pace with an 8.2 Shellacking UnleNshing c l6.hit attack against three Boston hurdles to virtually eliminate the fourth placerS from any chance of over. taking the leaders. Rookie Steve dromek, who has been tough for all competition lately, scattered nine hits over the route for the decision, Rookie Rex Cecil was the loser,
 Tho Chicago White Sex made c bid for fifth place by defeating the Philadelphia Athletics 6-3. Two three run innings, the fourth and fifth, brought the sox from behind and gave Joe HumphrieS more than enough margin. Jess Flores was the losing hurler.
 The only National League games scheduled, Pittsburgh at Brooklyn and a doubleheader, Cincinnati at Philadelphia, were rained out,

SYNOPSIS

r When Drue Gable, attractive
young nurse. learned her former
husband Craig Brent, was the vic
tim of a ~so-called accidental bull
let wound. she persuaded her friend
and fellow nurse. Sarah keate, to
answer with her the call made by
DR.. Claud Chivery from a small
New England town. Sarah was I'M
aware of Drues previous connec-
ton with the Brent family which
Included Craig's father, arrogant
Conrad Brent; Alexia, Conrad's
9lamorous young wife who, at II
time, had hoped to marry Craig;
Nicky Senour, Alcxia's twin
brother; and Peter Huber, friend
of Craig. Anna Haub, maid at the
Brent mansion, told how Craig
was found unconscious in the gar
den the previous night, adding,
"Beevens, the butler. said it was
IN aocident-Mr. Craig was clean
ing a gun" Alexia ordered Drue
to leave before Conrad Brent dis
covered her presence. Drue tells
Sarah the strange story of her
romance with Craig. They had met
and married more than a year q
when she had nursed him back to
health following an auto accident.
When Craig brought his bride
home, Conrad Brent made no effort
10 conceal his disapproval. Craig's
work in the diplomatic service
made it necessary for him to go to
Washington, and Drue returned to
New York. Shortly after, she re-
sceived a letter from Conrad
(Which he claimed Craig had asked
him to write) stating his son had
resigned his post to enter training
lAs an aviator, only to discover
married men were ineligible. Con-
rad said Craig wished Drue to di-
'vorce him, but promised they could
remarry, with paternal blessing,
when the training period was over.
,Drue got the divorce but never re-
,ceived any reply to the many let
tiers she wrote Craig. Now. she is
determined not to leave until Craig
zegains consciousness and a talk
with her. Drue dashes from the
room when Nicky Senour enters.
Sarah is telling the story.
