THden to Play At Longshore Club

Jimmy Byrnes, pro at the Longshore Club, Westport, Conn.,, claims to be somewhat surprised to receive requests from tennis fans so far out of the area of Westport, for the coming pro exhibition to take place Sunday afternoon, Aug. 4.
 In spite the fact that the great Bill Tilden has passed the peak of his greatness al- most a decade ago, the tall Quaker is still the big drawing card in the game, and his somewhat aged partner, Vim cent Richards. has lost none of his popularity with tennis players.
 Of course all tennis players like to see champions, and that they will do when Frank Ko- vats and Fred Perry step out in the doubles. The masterly way this pair defeated Bobby Riggs and Welby Van Horn, has made them fine attrac- tions.
 Tilden will play Richards in the singles, and Perry will op- pose Frankie. ..
 The matches will start at 2 o'clock. Special stands are be- ing erected at Longshore for the exhibition.

orris Lost Y r o Red Sox
BY JOSEPH NOLAN

Boston, July 25-(UP)-The in jury jinX finally caught up with the Boston Red Sox pitching staff to- day, but durable Tex Hughson served notice he was ready to shoulder a two-man burden as long as southpaw Mickey Harris re- mains on the hospital list.
 The towering Texan set down the White SoX 4 to l in Chicago, only few hours after Harris had left the team to undergo medical treat ment in St. Louis. The star left handler suffered a painful groin in jury while running bases in Fri days game and has been unable to take his regular turn on the mound
 Manager Joe Cronin indicated that Harris. who has won 13 games for the SoX, would be out at least a week and possibly longer
 Breaks Losing Streak
 Untroubled either by the bad news or by his own tWo-game los ing streak, Hughson threw slick seVen-hitter against the White Sox as he marked up hlS llth Win. EX- cept for hit batsman in the third inning. Hughson would have had a shutout.
 The Red SoX, in contrast to their batting paralysis of Tuesday night, slammed two Chicago hurlers for a total of 14 hits, putting 19 run ners on the basepathS. Rudy York and Johnny Pesky With three hits apiece paced Boston at the plate. Ted Williams collected two for five
 The outcome never was in doubt after the third inning when Bos- ton pushed over a pair of tallies. Catcher Hal Wagner led off the rally with a single. Tom Mcbride reached on an error, Pesky singled and Dom Di Maggie drew a pass te force in one run. The second mark CT came across when Williams grounded out.

Cubans' F1ue in Ninth Hunbles Brasscos, 6-5

Mgr. Joe Samoska of the Brass cos is wondering today what he has to do to break the jinx that the New York Cubans hold over his club.
 A month ago the New Workers came from behind in the eighth inning to nose out the locals, 3-2 and last night again came from behind to walk off with thrilling, 65 decision when they scored five in the ninth off Mike Kissko.
 Last nights contest will have the local fans talking for weeks to come for the Cuban combine trail ed, 5-l going into the frame and pulled the contest from the fire after two were out. The first two batters in the ninth led of with singles but the latter, Chaf Clark was forced at second by Show Boat" Thomas grounaer for the first out
 Pinch Hitter Scores
 KisSko who showed sharp breaking curve throughout, famed the dangerous Pedro Noble for the second out but Al Lenoris batted for Pitcher HoWie Clark and singled the first run across. Oreto Minosa then bounced to "Whiteys Piurek, but the infelders in his hurry to get the ball away, bobbled the ball and Thomas dashed across the plate to cut the margin to 5-3. Kissko threw two strikes past Monde Vasquez before the slugging first basemar lined long home run to the stadium grandstand which produced three runs to give the Cubans a 6-5 decision.
 | The Torrington right handler and Pee Wee" Jenkins dueled goose eggs until the fourth when an in- field error, a fielderis choice, a hit batsman, walk and Silvio Gar cias long fly to Bill Moore produc- ed run for the New Workers. Sheehan Drives in Two
 Jenkins protected the margin until the sixth when the Brasscos drove him to cover with a four-run barrage, walk, Piurek's single, an error, a flelder's choice, an inten- tional pass to Moore and Eddie Sheehan's two-run single account ing for the heavy damage.
 The Brasscos missed another run in the frame when Kissko was out at the plate on a fire throw from Clark in left field. Kissko was on second when DeVito bounced back to the hill but Jenkins threw wild to third in an attempt to force him but Clark backed up the play smartly and fired to the plate in time to nip the hurler attempting to score on the wild heave.
 The Brasscos face two strong opponents within AS hours of each other over the weekend and Mgr Samoska plans to strengthen the team. The original House of Davic team will furnish the opposition Saturday night while Monday the Pittsburgh Pirates of the Nationa League waill be in town for a 5:3( Twilight exhibition contest.

 St. Louis, July 25 -4(UP)- My mother died when I was three years old and me and Paul had to go out and pick cotton to get dough to keep the fire up.
 I guess we didn't get much edu- cation.
 And I reckon that's why now come up with an ain't once in a while, and have the Missouri teach CTS all stirred up. They don't like it because I say that Marty Marion or Vern Stephens stud into second base. What do they want me to say-slidded?
 Me and Paul didn't have to worry about that sort of stuff when we were winning games for the old Gas House Gang. And I don't know why I should get sweat up now.
 Took Turns Winning
 Paul, he'd win one game and I'd win the next.
 Didn't nobody come around after the game and ask whether we'd throwed or threwn the ball in there to make a play.
 We won 'em. No questions asked
 I got out of that racket, wearing glass arn-but I can still talk. If I don't talk pretty talk, l can't help it. This beer outfit that hired me to learn the people baseball thinks l can talk all right. And if they want some circus or school talk they can listen to my partner Johnny O'Hara. He's a long hair who went to school-up to college, he says.
 These beer people like me or they wouldn't pay me several dollars a year.
 Names Mean Nothing
 All right. So l say that Stan Musial or Chet Laabs looks like he is in hitterish form down at the plate. Whats the difference. Nine times out of ten they don't louse me up. They hit. Who cares what they call it?
 Naturally, I play around with my stuff on the radio. I kid my wife Pat I tell her to get up couple Ol DOGGitS Ol ouOS dliQ oOilie llteO chicken for me when I get home She is sittin' right down there un- der me in box in the ball park all the time.

 Jimmy Piersall of Waterbury, Conn.,, was moved into the No. 5 slot yesterday as the Stars worked out for five innings against the West Philadelphia Boys Club. Piersalrs hitting and fielding and the pitching of Tommy McMullan of Amsterdam, N. Y, were the fea- lures of the contest in which no score was kept, rain finally putting an end to hostilities.
 All told, the Nationals worked out two hours and 40 minutes but none of them passed up the invita- tion of the Phillies last night to witness the Phils-Pirates game un- der lights which the home club won, 20 The ball game followed delightful supper at the home of Coach Bill Hockenberry. whose wife, besides being a fine cook, is also a great baseball fan having played on a girls All American team down in Texas where Bill first met her.
