From Pirates 10 Add
To Reserve Power
BY the ksseeiafed Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-The
Yankees, seeking added reserve
strength for the American League
pennant drive. today obtained
Johnny Hopp. veteran first base
man and outfielder. from the
Pirates.
Hopp, who is "a, was purchased
for "a player or players to be
named later" after waivers had
been obtained from all National
League clubs.
Hopp. playing his twelfth major
league season, has $40 batting
average this year. He is a left
handed hitter and is regarded as
one Of the fastest baserunners in
baseball. Hopp probably will be
used mainly at first base, where
Johnny Mize and Joe Collins have
been alternating since Tommy
Heinrich has been unable to play
Hopp played seven seasons for
the Cardinals, from 1889 to 1945,
and appeared in three World
Series and two All-Star games

Boston in 1916 and remained
there two season before going to

Clash for Title;
New Era Dawns
Old Tennis Guard
Gone as Youngsters
Take Limelight
BY the Assoeiofed Press

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Sept. S.
"A new era in American Tennis
dawned today when Herbie Flam
and Art Larsen met for the ma
tional title.
The old guard has gone. Flam.
at 81, is the national intercol-
legiate and clay courts titlehold-
er from U. c. L. A., while Larsen,
at 25. is the sixth-ranking player
In the country and apparently
just reaching his tennis majority.
Both are Californians and both
beat Fasteners in the semifinals
yesterday. Flam had to 60 all
out to get past 36-year-old Gard
mar Mulloy OF Miami. Fla. 2-6.
60, 9-11. 6-1. 6-3. while Lar.
sen, who halls from San Fran
cisco, defeated Dick Savitt Of
Orange, N. j., 60, 1913, TO,
60.
Flam and Larsen, along with
Bulge Patty, Vic Seixas. Tony
Trabert and Jim Brink, form
what will be the nucleus of United
States teams for international
competition in the future.
Flam Is Impressive.
Flam was especially impressive
in getting rid of Mulloy, a vet
eran not disposed to give up
easily. Tow-headed Herbie, who
has a world of court acumen yet
nothing really spectacular in the
way of shots. actually forced
Mulloy into beating himself, SO
cleverly did he retrieve the vet
eran's best shots.
1t was not the same Mulloy
who put the skids on Earl Cochell
Saturday. His service was not
quite so sharp and his powerful
fiat drives were falling into the
net. After he won the marathon
third set. it was apparent he could
not keep up the pace.
/ He had trouble with his foot
ing, the winds, the kicked-up turf
and the officials. The officials
gave him most trouble. He was
4 the victim of several very close
calls and that upset him.
He made no real effort to win
;. the fourth set. figuring on saw
fling his strength for the big one
to follow. But Flam started
, fright of by breaking his service
twice and that was curtains.
Hart, Du Pont In Women's Final.
, The Savitt-Larsen match was
. anti-climatic and judging by the
: results, Flam should be the de-
cided favorite in the final.
1 Larsen played just as hard as
he had to, but it was getting dark,
and the officials decreed that play
should stop at 7:31 pm. EDIT. At
that time, though, Larsen needed
one more game for the match. So
Savitt agreed to play it. Larsen
won and that was it.

II More Needed
With 26 Games
Yet 10 Be Played
OutfieIder Aiming
At Butting Honors
Across-the-Boord
By Burton Howkins

Rookie Iry Noren. aiming for
an across-the-board sweep of the
Mats batting honors, may become
the first Washington hitter in
nine years to belt across 100 runs
With 26 games remaining, Noren
needs II RIBS to reach a select
circle last attained here by Cecil
Travis in 1941.
Leading the Mats in doubles,
triples and runs batted in, Noren
moved into a home run tie with
Eddie Yost and Sam Mele yester-
day when he crashed his 10th as
the Mats split a double header
with Boston before 81 ,424 fans at
Griffith Stadium. Boston won the
first game. 5-4. and the Mats cap
tured the second. 5-3. behind Bob
Kuzaya's nine-hit pitching.
Noren may have helped boost
baseball in Washington, for he
has demonstrated to Clark Grit
fifth that $4,000 can be well spent.
The Mats boss shelled out that
kind Of money to acquire Noren
on the recommendation of Bucky
Harris and the supposition is that
Griffith now would be willing to
invest more coin in comparable
players.
Bonura Produced 113 in '38.
Only clumsy Zeke Bonura. who
batted across 113 runs in 1898,
and Travis. who whacked across
101. have edged into triple figures
for the Mats in recent years. b.
nura set Washington record of
% homers that year. while Travis
production was rather meager con-
sidering his .359 batting in 1941.
The Mats top regular with a
.315 average, Noren has averaged
a run batted in game for Wash
ington's last IL games. He has
hit safely in 18 straight games,
batting .370 in that period.
Noren figured prominently In
keeping thex Red Sox 31a games
off the pace of the Yankees, de-
livering three hits in the second
game. His fifth inning single
scored two runs and his seventh
inning single sent Yost to third
and shelled Willard Nixon. Mickey
Vernon's long fly to center off
Mickey McDermott enabled Yost
to score.
It was Kuzava. though. who
put the Mats ahead in that game,
AS. in the sixth. After Ed Stew
art walked and Cass Michaels
sacrificed. Kuzava singled to left
to break a 3-3 tie. Bob proceeded
to blank Boston in the final four
innings.
Pesky Gets Four Hits.
Johnny Pesky got four singles
and Billy Goodman three to ac-
count for the bulk Of Boston's s
nine hits. while Noren's three
hits sparked the Mats nine hit
attack.
The Red Sox pounced on Sid
Hudson for three runs in the
first inning when the Mats slim
hurler slumbered on a bunt. Sid
walked Dom Di Maggie and Pesky
to beckon trouble and it came In
the form of Goodman's bunt
down the first-base line.
Catcher Micky Grasso whipped
out Goodman as the runners ad-
vanced, but when Hudson failed
to cover the plate Di Maggie
scored standing. Vern Stephens
grounded out, but Walt Dropo
popped a double to right, scoring
Pesky, and Dropo scored on
Bobby Doerr's single.
The Mats bounced back with
two runs in the third to dispose
of Joe Dobson when Yost and
Gil Coan singled. moved along
on Noren's grounder and scored
on Vernon's single.
Dropo's double, AL Zarilla's tri-
pie and Birdie Tebbetts' single
showed the Red Sox into a So
command in the fourth. The Mats
