TALBERT-SIDWEL
TEAL In FIN AIS

BROOKLINE, Mass, Aug. o.
R)-Bill Talbert of Wilmington,
Del, and Bill Sidwell of Australia,
threw a small monkey wrench
into the U. S. Davis Cup teams
plans by defeating Gardnar Null
10y of Coral Gables, Fla, and
Frank Parker of Los Angeles, 6-3,
6-8, GA, rs, in a National Doubles
tennis semi-finals match today at
Longwood.
Mulloy, who won this event with
Talbert last year for the third
time, and Parker have high hopes
of playing Davis Cup doubles
against Australia's challengers
next weekend at Forest Hills, N.
Y. But today's setback may be
discounted by, their quarter-finals
in over Australia's Geoff Brown
and Dinny Pals.
Talbert, ignored by the Davis
Cup solicitors, and Sidwell, who
never has been considered for the
Australian team, stamped them
selves as the most threatening
team in the tourney yesterday by
eliminating Jack Bromwich and
Colin Long, the Aussies' crack
doubles tandem, in straight sets.
AS a result of today's win, Tai
bert and Sidwell will enter the
finals against Jack Kramer of
Los Angeles, and Ted Schroeder
of Glendale, Calf, the U. S. Davis
Cup aces, who qualified with a
81, g., 4-6, 81 win over Francis
co Segura of Miami, and Enrique
Morea of Argentina.

VINES CLIPS PAR
LEAD AT RENO

RENO, New, Aug. 22-PE
Lanky. bespectacled Ellsworth
Vines of Los Angeles, the one-time
U. S. Tennis champion who turned
professional golfer, wrapped up a
five under par round today to lead
the field in the SIS, 900 72-hole Reno
Open tournament with a 36-hole
total of 1874.
PLAYING at peak form, Vines
coupled a SO and a "a for his 81. He
had an identical opening round
score yesterday.
Par for the Washoe County golf
curse is 36-36-72.
Vines lost a chance for a 6o
when his shot to the green on the
18th was wide of its mark. He
pitched up to within eight feet OF
the pin but missed the putt.
It gave Vines a tWo-stroke lead
over his closest rival, E. j.
Dutch) Harrison of York, Pa,
who finished today with a 10 for
a two-round total of 1856.
Slightly back of the pace were

we have another tough schedule

good, if not better, record than
last season."

tying one. They we're the Glass

Whiteville will open their Al
schedule with Mullins, S. c., on
September 18th at which time it
is hoped that lights will have been
installed at Legion Stadium.
Losses of the 1916 Pack which
will be most keenly felt include
Billy Cooke, big, hardhitting full
back; "Fatso" Griffith, one Of the
most outstanding guards ever to
wear the blue and white; Donald
Taylor, stalwart tackle; and Bob
by Rushing, true-passing quarter

Pep KEEPS TITLE
BY KAY0 IN 18th

FLINT, Mich, Aug. % -PH
Hard-punching Willie Pep, the cur
ly-haired Hartford. Conn, fancy
dam. knocked out Jack Leslie OF
Flint in As seconds of the 18th
round tonight to successfully de-
fend his world featherweight cham
pionship before a crowd OF 10,OSe
fans in Atwood stadium.
Pep. who weighed 125 "a to Les
lies 1875, was in front almost all
the way, but there were no knock
downs until the 18th when Willie
floored Jack for a nine count with
a hard right to the head.
Leslie came UP but stood help
lessly against the ropes as Pep
hammered right and lefts at his
head to achieve his 40th knockout
victory and his 115th win in III
professional fights.
Pep thus stood up admirably in
his first title defense since a Jer-
sey plane crash sent him to the
hospital with a fractured ankle
and back injuries last January.
Leslie, home-bred blonde punch
er, made his best showing in the
second and third rounds, winning
the second on the cards Of all
three officials and taking the third
on n card and gaining a draw on
both the others.
Referee Clarence Rosen and
Judge Lehan of Detroit and Ed
Haley of Flint gave the champion
every round from the fourth
through the 10th to put him far in
front when the knockout came.
Pep didn't take much to might
ing, letting Leslie keep the aggre-
sor's role most of the way but
keeping his left jab in Jacks face
all night as he stood off waiting
for openings.
Until the 18th it was a clean
punching match and neither Pep
nor Leslie was badly marked up.
Pep opened a slight cut over
Leslie's right eye with a hard left
in the fourth round and in the
fifth drew blood from a cut in the
lower lip that Jack suffered in
training.
The champs only mark was a
lumpy mouse" which Leslie rails
ed under his left eye in the sew
enth.
The end came with unexpected
suddenness for the crowd of 49,
O36 who contributed to a gross
gate of $50, O30 for F1int's first
championship fight in history.
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-08-23

score was tied at 3-3 at the end
of the seveth.
In the eighth, Rowe singled and
raced home on Schaufele's triple.
Greenwood's Bowie pulled an I'M
assisted double play, taking Mill
er's liner on the fly and tagging
Schaufele off third. Craig singled,
took second on an error and raced
home on a second miscue.
Evans singled in the ninth and
advanced to third on an error that
gave Funk life On second. Two
more errors scored both men.
Ben Johnson, Greenwood pitch
er who lost two tournament games
to Little Rock, nevertheless was
voted most valuable man in the
series.
Little Rock piled up four ninth
inning run to trim Kannapolis in
the afternoon game.
