LOSE RYDER TROPHY TO AMERICANS “Pro” Golfers of United States Win 6 Out of 8 Singles Matches By Putting Ability. WORCESTER, Massachusetts, Sunday.—The United States won the Ryder Cup here yesterday when the American professional golfers walked away with the singles competitions against the British team, winning 6 matches, halving one and losing the eighth. As the Americans gained 3 out of 4 of the foursomes on the opening day of play, the final result for the 1927 competition is 9½ to 2½. The British team won the Cup last year when it was first disputed. As on the preceding
year when it was first disputed. As on the preceding day, the British players failed to putt as well as their opponents and therein lies the story of their defeat. George Duncan, the only member of the team from Great Britain to win his match on Friday, ended the affair sensationaly by holing a long putt at the eighteenth to beat Joe Turnesa. In view of Duncan’s consistently poor work on the putting greens, this victory came as a distinct surprise. Charles Whitcombe finished even with Gene Sarazen.

BOULOGNE-SUR-MER (Pas-de-Calais), Sunday.—An American and an Englishman are disputing the 36 hole final of the French Open Amateur Golf Championship here today. H. Van Alst Brower (Essex, New Jersey) represents the United States and J. Meller (Isle of Wight) defends British honors.

from fourth place to second by a series of victories over the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Cincinnati Reds. The Chicago Cubs dropped into the hole left by the advance of last year’s champions. The latter still have some distance to go to overtake the Pittsburgh Pirates now leading the parade. St. Louis has added cause to rejoice over the advance of the Browns in the American League. True, they moved only from fourth to third, changing places with the Athletics, but the season is now far enough advanced so that even one place has its significance. Boston Hits. Yesterday’s games
even one place has its significance. Boston Hits. Yesterday’s games were featured by the attack of hitting strength suffered by the Boston Braves. Fourteen hits is an event for the Braves and they managed to score ten runs in the bargain. Fine pitching by Sherdel blanked the Brooklyn outfit to give the Cards another victory. Cincinnati surprised everyone by trimming the Giants, with errorless fielding and sixteen safe hits. While the Cubs appear to have suffered a slight relapse, there is a chance that they will show a further decline. McCarthy has his team working all the time and the

Goodyear VII, to cover 715 miles (straight-line distance) in the elimination race which started from Akron, Ohio, on Monday deserves more than passing notice. Last year, Van Orman and Morton won the Gordon Bennett Cup race when they took the air at Antwerp and landed in Solvesberg, Sweden. The distance was 534.9 miles, which means that Van Orman, a veteran of ballooning, had drifted nearly 200 miles farther in the United States than the best performance in the international race of 1926. Incidentally, he won the Litchfield trophy outright for the Akron chapter of the National Aeronautical Association. Previously, Akron

PEOPLE IN THE NEWS An all-French final in the men’s doubles was assured by the play yesterday on the Stade Français courts at St. Cloud. Cochet and Brugnon defeated the South African pair, Raymond and Condon, in the first semi-final, and later Tilden and Hunter were humbled by Lacoste and Borotra. The first match was the more exciting of the two, with the outcome never certain until the final point in the fifth
outcome never certain until the final point in the fifth set had been won by the French team. Ragged play and several questionable line decisions reduced interest in the Franco-American match. Lacoste was the outstanding figure in the battle that eliminated Tilden and Hunter. He was deadly at the net and on the baseline, shooting with precision and speed that scored numerous points against the Americans. His overhead game was equally excellent. If he has not lost overnight such a sterling brand of tennis he should give Tilden a hard run for first honors in the singles this afternoon. Borotra
run for first honors in the singles this afternoon. Borotra Again Weak. The other three net experts were simply not at their best yesterday. Borotra was responsible for almost inexcusable nets and outs, as he has been during most of the present tournament. Hunter, after making devastating use of his powerful forehand drives across court in the early half of the match, weakened towards the last and netted frequently. Tilden, never at his best in doubles, showed only occasional flashes of such mastery as he opposed to Cochet on Friday. The Americans won the first set at 6-4, Tilden scoring
The Americans won the first set at 6-4, Tilden scoring the final point on one of his terrific service aces. Lacoste opened the second set and won his service. Only once during the five sets did the solemn Frenchman lose his service, although that happened in the deciding game of the fourth set. The second set was ended speedily at 6-2, the Americans winning on Tilden’s second service and then beating Borotra for a love game. The third set went to the same score, with an unduly prolonged argument over set point. Hunter served with points at 30-40. Tilden thought

Borotra demanded the point he replayed. Tilden would have none of it, declaring the umpire’s decision must be accepted. Words and more words, until at last the decision was taken and the fourth set begun. Another Argument. The score went to 5-3 with Tilden lashing across several aces. In the ninth game, with Lacoste serving, set point was saved on six different occasions by the French players. Another decisive
on six different occasions by the French players. Another decisive line was questioned by Tilden before the Americans won. In the final set, Tilden started by winning his service. Lacoste and Borotra, however, took five straight games and after Hunter won his service, Borotra captured the set and match. Raymond, the left-handed South African, played splendid tennis yesterday in the early match. Both Brugnon and Cochet were guilty of numerous errors, particularly in the second and third sets, which the visitors won, but they later recovered and after several sparkling rallies at the net finally took the match.
