Indians Blow Good Chance
To Gain Ground on Y0nks

blow was Kolloway's second
pinch-hit homer of the season.
The Tigers had rocked Bobby
Feller and Mickey Harris for a 60
lead in five innings and it ap-
peared that Hal Newhouser would
wind up with his 199th major
league victory. But Newhouser
came to grief in the last of the
fifth. The Indians pounded him
and Dave Madison for eight runs
and the shoe was on the other
foot-but not for long.
In the sixth, the Tigers loaded
the bases with one out on a single
and two walks. Brissie was sent
in and Holloway blasted his first
pitch out of the playing field. Jim
Delsing and Walt Dropo ac-
counted for the other seven runs.
Delsing drove in three on a homer
and single and Dropo knocked in
four on two home runs. Art
Houtteman retired the Indians in
order over the last four rounds to
get his seventh victory.
At Philadelphia, Byrd walked
two and famed four in hanging
up his 14th victory for the Ath-
letics. Irv Noren spoiled his no.

Tennis Stars Say U. 5.
Needs Youth Program
To Stop Australians
BY the Associated Press

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Sept. 4
Bill Talbert. who now qualities
as one of the older and wiser
thinkers in tennis. figures the only
way to stop the Australians either
here or in the Davis Cup is to set
up a national development pro-
gram.
Talbert, awaiting his match yes
terday in the National Singles
championship, was leaning against
ia fence and sympathizing with
Vic Seixas, who takes on Aus
tralia's young Ken Rosewall to-
day.
Tough one tomorrow, eh?" Bill
asked. and Vic just shook his
head.
I'VE ought to have a national
program to develop young players
like they have in Australia.
"They ought to get fellows like
Gardnar Mulloy. Che was playing
on the stadium COURT, Ted
Schroeder, Jack Kramer and my
self who are interested in tennis
and who know the game and let
them look over a bunch of 20 or
so young players and help them.
They'd learn a lot playing
against the better players, too"
Seixas agreed that any such
program would be helpful and that
the Aussies had a big edge in be-
ing allowed to work for sporting
goods firms and play tennis as
much as they pleased.
Talbert had some evidence to
support this theory in the lineup
for today's fourth-round matches.
-Four of the five Australian en-
tries still were in there, including
the 17-year-olds, Ken Rosewall
and Lewis Hoad. The only one
missing was Ken, who had to de-
fault because of an injury.
Talbert Will have his hands full
today. He faces Frank Sedgman,
Wimbledon and United States
champion.
Dick Savitt, Americas top hope
for defeating Sedgman. will meet
Felicissimo Ampon of the Philip
pines. Savitt got by Fred Kova-

Boston Has Lost Eight

Bob Porterfield, who has seen

Washington to a fifth straight

that one in Philadelphia Sunday.
