enough.
The women's division expert
ienced its first furry Of excite
ment in five days when Madame
Magda Rurac, a f%ast-footed new
conner from Romania, dumped
Shirley Fry of Akron, Ohio, from
the tournament in a long-draWn
three-setter on the club house
court, Ga, SO, ga. Miss Fry, a
member of this years American
Wightman cup team, was seed
ed fifth among the home girls.
American fans had been cur
ious about Nine. Rurac ever
since last spring, when she
bobbed up from nowhere to de-
feat Pauline Betz, the then
American women's amateur
champion in a tournament on the
French Rivera. Those who saw
today's match discovered for
themselves that she is, indeed,
quite a tennis player.
frankie Parker, the No. 2
seeded, romped to a 60, 6-2,
6-3 win over blonde Bernard
Desthemau, French Davis cup
player, and John Bromwich OF
Australia had an even easier
time ousting Henri Rochon OF
Montreal, 81, 60, 81.
Other third-round contests

eliminate Sumant Misra of India,
6-3, 60, 81, and Dinny Pals OF
Australia turn back Clarence
(Nick) Carter of San Francisco,

In the days other women's

who was finalist against Miss

KINER H0MERS TWO
BUT L0SESB BY 3 T02

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 1O.-tR
Ralph Kiner belted two
homers for the Pirates today
but the New York Giants came
from behind to beat Pittsburgh,
80, today for their fifth conse-
cutive victory and their third
straight over the BUGS.
Kiner's two four-baggers gave
him a total of 43 for the year
and moved him within three of
New York's Johnny Mize, the
major league leader. Mize was
held hittless in four trips to the
plate.
With the score tied 2-all in
the eighth, Willard Marshall
singled home Buddy Kerr with
the winning run. Kiner's homers
came in the second and fourth
innings. The Giants scored their
first marker on Lloyd Gearhart's
sixth homer in the first and tied
the score in the seventh on Sid
Gordon's triple and Jake
Lohrke's two : Dagger.

Kuhn, tackle; Jimmy Piner, half
back; Jim Gibson, fullback.
With the IS man squad run
ming down punts, working kick
offs, punt returns, pass offense,
pass defense, running plays, and
dummy practice, the coach is
making sure that the lads r not
injured before the first season
game. As he orders only a light
practice today.
Linwood Taylor, end, received
the only injury of yesterdays
practice. He is now nursing a
sprained wrist and it is not known
whether or not he will appear
on the field Friday night.
Looking good in yesterdays
practice, according to the coach
were Big Jim Gibson and Johnny
Crowley in the backfield and
Lloyd Honeycutt, Bill Kuhn, and
Craig Hampton in the forward
wall.
And when the Head Pilot says
someone looks good, you can be
sure of some busting when you
witness a game - or just practice
sessions.
Although the coach did not
know the official lineup yester-
day, it has been rumored by
practice session watchers, that the
end slots is a battle between Fritz
Steljas, Bob Lewis, Linwood, Tay-
lor, and Billy Quarles. Since Tay-
lor is injured, it will be former
second stringer Steljas and
Quarles along with snagging
Lewis fighting for the positions.
The tackle slots will be filled
by letteerman Bill Kuhn and
Deck Jordan while their buddies
will be probably Lloyd Honey
cult and Doc Venters or Craig
Hampton.
Second stringer Bobby Hass of
the '46 squad will slide his PIP
pounds in the middle of the six
to hold down the center posi-
ton.
Backfield shines that will prob
ably be listed in the first line
up will see either Pig Gore or
Johnny Crowley at quarterback,
co-captain Jim Gibson at full
back, Jimmy Piner at right half
back, and Homer Brewer or
Charlie Smith, left halfback.
Reserves who are apt to dirty
their uniforms will be Deck Jor-
dan, Corky Bolton, Bruce Hinson,
Morris Moore, Ed Garfield, Brain

BRAVES SHUT0UT
CINCINNATI, 8 TO 0

CINCINNATI, Sept. 10. -P
Boston hit Ewell Blackwell
and three succeeding Cincinnati
pitchers for Is hits, including
two home runs, today to win the
final game of the season between
the clubs as the veteran Clyde
Shoun held his old teammates to
five hits in registering an 80
shutout.
Blackwell, who was knocked
from the box by the St. Louis
Cards in the fourth inning last
Sunday, left today's game in the
seventh after Shoun had singled.
He was holding his side as if it
hurt him as he left the mound.
The Braves had pounded him for
nine hits and two runs.
Danny Litwhiler and Bob Ell
lott hit homers for Boston.
Shoun, who went to Boston from
Cincinnati in midseason, did not
have more than one hit in any
one inning. It was his fifth win
against two defeats.

Coach Ray Shelton's Tigers will
also appear on the gridon for
the first season game and the
state-runner-ups will not be a
push over for the Cats as they are
to be in tip-top condi-
ton.
The Wildcats using the famed
''T" formation are slated to go
through a light practice today in
preparation for the initial game,
although they have been doing
some rough s~crimmages for the
past week.
Head Coach Brodgen and as
sistants, Tom and Jap Davis, all
former football stars, sent the
players through one of the Cats
toughest scrimmage yesterday on
the 18th and Ann drill field.

New York Yankees to a Z to 4

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Sept
1o-RHLong Bob Falkenbur@
of Los Angeles, got up OFT the
floor today and rallied to pull
out of a thrilling five-set victory
over Colin Long of Australia II
the national championships al
Forest Hills.
Down two sets and apparently
well beaten, the lanky coast
star gave the stadium crowd its
greatest thrill of the day as ne
battled back to catch and beat
the Aussie Davis cup player by
the marathon score of 4-6, 6-8,
90. 81, GA. At the end when,
he had served an untouchable
ace to end it, 'Falkenburg was
too tired to vault the net. He
climbed over, slowly, and mltteo
his beaten rival.
The victory, a gift of Bob's
fighting spirit, advanced hinDin-
to the quarter-final round OF the
championships along with Juro-
slav Drobny, the Czech Davis
cupper, who scored over Herbie
Flam of Beverly Hills, Calf,
rs, 6-2, 81, Ga. The two were
around ahead Of the rest OF
the mems field.
Drobny also had to do a job
of rallying after losing the first
set to the coast youngster, but
his task was nothing to compare
with that which faced Falken-
burg after he had been belted
twice by the bespectacled Long.
Few would have given Bob a
chance as the third set began,
and the thought was going a.
round that he had blown any
chance next year.
The same thing must have
occurred to Bob, for he finally
began booming across his big
service and to play-for him
steady tennis from the baseline
and in the forecourt. Long,
ranked fifth in ris own country,
continued to play good tennis

WAKE FOREST, sept. III. -
R)- In a scrimmage here this
afternoon, The Demon Deacons
worked long and hard on their
passing attack.
Coach D. C. (Peahead) Walker
was impressed by the way his
pass receivers were hanging on
to the heaves. The receivers in
cluded Nick Ognovich, Ed Hoey,
Don Hips, Ed Bardley, John
|O'Quinn, and Jim Duncan.
Showing up well as passers
were letter tailbacks Tom Fetzer
and Bud Lail and two freshman

ais. After tomorrow, the Deacons

CHAPEL HILL, Sept. 10. -
P - Although no touchdowns
were scored, North Cardinals
IA" team received a good shell
lacking from "B" and &C" teams
in a rousing scrimmage this af-
ternoon.
Even Charlie Justice was stop
ped cold by the reserve combi-
nations with his "a" team unable
to move the ball at all. Mean
while the "C' combination, spark
ed by Don Hartig, Hosea Rogers,

Pete Rywak and Stan Marcyzk,
tackles; Emmett Cheek and
George Roberts, guards; and
Bullet Joe" Swicegood, center.
Swicegood received a clean
wound over his left eye with in
dications several stitches would
be required. Cheek, Rywak and
Roberts stood out with bristling
defensive play. Maceyko's run
ming was good and Cox made a
fine catch of a pass.
In the "A" team backfield
were Justice, Jim Camp, Bill
Flamish and George Sparger,
with Billy Britt relieving Just
lice. Linesmen were Ken Powell
and Mike RUBBISH, ends; Hay
wood Fowle and Len Szafaryn,
tackles; Bob Mitten and Sid Var
ney, guards; Dan Stiegman, cen
ter. Fowle and Stiegman turned
in some first rate play.

Putting special emphasis on
their passing game, both teams
filled the air with their heaves

Standing out in the two-hour
