DoviS Cup, ennis Plans BefuddIed

Forest Hills, N. Y. Sept. g 9-(UP) Jack Kramer and Pauline Betz, both of Los Angeles, wore the Ma tional Amateur Tennis Crowns to- day but only after a tournament which logged Americas Davis Cup picture.
 Kramer, a former Coast Guard lieutenant who participated in five South Pacific landings, reached the end of long, hard-luck trail yes- terday when he defeated Tom Brown, Jr., of San, Francisco, 9-7, 6-3, 60.
 Miss Betz, dethroned last year by Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Cooke, came back for a fourth championship which tied the performances of Helen Jacobs and Alice Marble as she bested Doris Hart of Miami, 11-9, 6-3.
 Youngsters Shine
 But despite the second seeded Kramer's triumph, the perform ances of two youngsters-Brown and towering Bob Falkenburg of Hollywood - had upset the pro- posed machine which Captain Wal ter Pate had expected to use against Australia in December following this weekends inter zone finals with Sweden.
 Falkenburg, demonstrating a blis- tering service, had walloped Davis Cupper Bill Talbert of Wilmington, Del, before losing to Kramer. But the big surprise was Brown, 23- year-old veteran of armored war fare in southern Germany.
 All Brown did was f1atten Gard mar. Mulloy of Miami, Davis Cup doubles hope with Talbert, and knock of defending Champion Parker. Parker had been expected to be one of the United States sim gles aces both against the Swedes and the Anzacs.

SUGGESTION BY FAN

A baseball fan approached the
writer the other day to ask if
it would be possible to stage a
game Labor Day between the
Sluggers of 1885 and the Key
West Regulars of 1925, or the Pr
rates and Regulars of 1885.
Well, most of the Sluggers of
those days are still with us. Here
they are: Catcher, M. Varela;
pitchers, Bethel, Lucilo and Lou
Gonzalez; first base, Valdez, "Pie
Traynor" Fernandez and Lucilo;
infielders, Angel Fruto, Scott
Sawyer, Gopher Gonzalez and
others.
Among the Regulars still with
us are Manager Paul Albury or
Cyril Griffin, catcher; Quintan
Lopez, Bobby Lewis and Sevilla,
pitchers; Elhertson or Capote or
Jose Fernandez, first base; Chic
ko Pozo, second base; B. Castillo,
third base; w. Doughty, short
stop; Salgado, Capote, Cremata
and others in the outfield.
Among those living who play
ed with the Pirates of those days
are Cyril Griffin to catch, Joe
Casa and Puby Carbonell to
pitch, Mario Pena at first, Chelo
Castillo af cnnond Dario Percy
at short, Manolo Acevedo at the
hot corner, Ludy Acosta, Abreu,
Papito Machin and others to play
the outfield
So, it can be seen that the La
Dor Day game is possible if the
players are willing. Let us hear
from those interested. The writ
er will furnish baseballs should
the players agree to perform in
the suggested game.

Hernandez, ]. Carbonell and

was like the Boston Red Sox's

Playing and hitting like they
did yesterday, the Raiders can
beat the Sun Sox or any other
Class C bail club. They have the
teamwork and the boys are per-
forming according to Hoyle"-
taking orders, and that is some
thing we have lacked for a long
time. Bill Gates has the boys

the play-off for the Dade County
League championship, and if they
win they will be the baseball

proud of our boys. Let's show
them that we are by going out
and giving them big hand next
Sunday. That will encourage
them on to the championship.

ASHEVILLE, N. c.. Aug. H..
With two weeks Of preliminary
practice behind them, SO Miami
Seahawks football aspirants have
settled down to knockdoWn-
drag-out brawl for the SO team
places available under All Amer
lea conference regulations.
Preparing for their opening
game of long schedule, the
/ contest with the Buffalo Bisons
at Baltimore Municipal Stadium
the night of August so, Coach
Jack Meagher and his staff have
done everything their long years
in the coaching profession has
taught them to get. the players in
proper physical condition for the
gruelling struggles ahead.
Have Good Backfield
Early indications are that the
Seahawks will have a powerful
and versatile backfield depart
ment capable of producing an Of
Tense that will cause trouble for
any team in play-for-play ranks.
For instance, take a gander at
the boys working out at left half
/ back. 1850
There's jimmy Nelson, Monk
/ Gafford and Jack, Grain to start.
If those housekeeping lads don't
instill a little dread into oppcs-
ing linemen, Coach Meaghen can
offer Marion Butler, Clemson
. star of last season, or Kay Eakin,
Arkansas graduate who played
with the New York Football
Giants. s...4
Outstanding Stars
Nelson and Grain were named
on more than few all-American
teams during their college days
at Alabama and Texas, and CAT
ford, formerly of Auburn, will be
remembered for the one man
show he put on in almost single
handedly defeating the great
Georgia team of 1912, the club
that wound UP in the Rose Bowl.
Another spot in which the Sea-
hawks are loaded with stars is
fullback Meagher thought so
mich of his left halfbacks, he
switched Dub Jones, o brilliant
back for Tulane and LSU during
the war years; to full where Mi
ami's Terry Fox, Stan Koslow-
ski, Holy Cross powerhouse, and
Fred Gloden, formerly of Tulane
and the Philadelphia Eagles, al
ready were stationed. Fox, who
played two years with the Eagles,
seems to have the inside track of
fullback at this time.

At 7:30 o'clock, the Flying

Golf Club HonOrs Are Taken By
ANDY Park And Norman Artman

First prize of $1,000 in the
blind boyle staged at the Key
West Golf Club was won by Andy
Park with second prize of $500
going to Norman Artman, and
Charlie Smith taking third prize
of $3.50.
Low medalist honors went to
Jimmie Mira and Andy Park.
Both scored impressive sos. Run
nerup was Humbert Mira, with
an 81.
Jimmie Mira, who was low
scorer over the weekend, is one
of the longest drivers ever to
play on the local course. Jimmie
can get awfully wild at times
but when he does connect, it is
generally a long drive. Mira uses
a long, loose drive with terrific
wrist action at impact that is said
to account for his long drives.
This week was proud day
for James Cooper. The red-hair-
ed one recorded his lowest score
to date. 1t was AZ and shattered
all his previous scores on the
local course.
Individual scores are as fol-
lows.

Miami papers claim the East

We do not think the Air Liners

lieves he has a real ball club but
all he has when he comes down
here is a lot of "cry babies" and

EAL has plenty of weak spots.

In the first game the Airliners
played here two of their number

though they were allowed to com
