NEW YORK, September 5.—The American League pennant, already fly ing over the National Capital's major league base ball park, was fastened a little more securely to the Washing- ton masthead today. Six full games separated Washing ton and the second-place Athletics as a result of the champions' decisive triumph_over the Red Sox yvesterday, 9 to 3, while the Mackmen weve idle. Pittsburgh, with a long lead over the Giants in the National, failed to keep pace with the Washington win- ning streak in the American. As the world champions lifted thelr string to six straight wins the steady march of the Pirates was finally interrupted by the Cardinals, 9 to 3, after M Kechnie'’s club had piled up nine vic Mack’s men would have to | torfes in a row.

A home run by Terry in the tenth enabled the Giants to draw a little closer to the Pirates by defeating the Phillies, 6 to 5.

NEW YORK, September 5.—Tied at one vietory aplece on ®ingies Davis cup tennis players of France and Aus- tralia meet at the Forest Hills nets this afternoon in doubles—the third contest of a series of five, which will determine America’s foe in the chal lenge round at Philadelphia next week. Jean Borotra of France yeste defeated James O. Anderson, Australis captain, 6—4, 6—3, 8—6, while Rene Coste, Wimbledon champion, un- expectedly bowed to Gerald Patterson, 6—3, 6—4, 6—2. The same players meet in dqubles today. Such cannonading as Patterson turn ed loose against La Coste has seldom been seen on the courts of the West Side Tennis Club. The burly Aus- tralian took the heart out of his little rival with a succession of battering service shots and booming forehand drives, then completed the rout with a mixture of cheps and lobs. Coste was seldom able to do more than deflect Patterson’s smashes, then, after he had set himself for a hard drive, the Australian tricked him with a soft lob or sliced return. Against such tremendous power— the most impressive exhibition Patter son ever has glven in this country— e was helpless. The downfall of La Coste, how seemed to inspire Borotra, for he out and played Anderson off his feet with a dashing, brilllant attack. An- derson never was able to get his shots working effectively for more than two or three games in a row, while Boro- tra was all over the court D. C.

But Jones won the short thirteenth with Gunn in a trap. Gunn took the next two holes in birdie 3s, finishing the match by holing a 40-foot putt on the fifteenth green. Bob Jones Is Steady. Bob Jones was marvelously steady against Von Elm. With the Pacific coast fighter unsteady from the tee, Bob, notwithstanding a pair of long putts for birdies by Von Elm on the eleventh and thirteenth, ended the morning round 4 up, picked up 2 more on the first nine in the afternoon and ended the match on_ the twelfth, or thirtieth hole, when Von ed Equip Your Car With NEW TIRES 6 MONTHS TO PAY!
