GAIN EDGE BY CAPTURING STIRRING DOUBLES MATCH "aCoste and Borotra Score-in Five-Set Duel With Patterson and Hawkes and Need to Win Only One of Two Singles to Triumph, OREST HILLS, N. Y ptember 5—The tri-color of France waved triumphant over the Union Jack of Australia in the third match of the Davis Cup inter zone finals at the West Side Tennis Club to- lay when Rene LaCoste and Jean Borotra conquered the antitopede ombination of Gerald Patterson and J. B. Hawkes in a thrilling five-set natch, 6w4, 3—6, 6—4, 1—6, 10—8. French steadiness scored over Australian billiancy in the mtach. At times the Australians rose to heights which made them invincible gainst their opponents but at other timu the extreme anxiety to bowl over the opposition by sheer power of play destroying their accuracy and viled up points for the plugging Frenchmen. Five times before they finally shot across the winning ‘point, the representatives of France were within a point of victory but each time, with stubborn tenacity, the Australians clung to their threadbare margin wnd pulled themselves up to an even level with their rivals. France won the opening set by ing through Patterson’s bullet service twice. The Australians returned the com- pliment by taking the second, over- oming Borotra's service offerings twice. The third set went to the French representatives, Hawkes' service suf- ering two breaks. The fourth set was walk-away for the antipodes, both Borotra and LaCoste droping serv- \ces in this set. Final Set Is Thriller. Then came the final, hectic set which developed into one of the most stubborn and thrilling contests in the history of the Davis cup competition. lLeading 5 to 2 at the end of the seventh game, it looked like a_decisive downfall for the Australians. But they rallied and pulled up into a tie with their opponents by winning their own services in the eighth and tenth games and breaking through Borotra in the ninth. The - first match point for the Frenchmen came in the ninth game on Borotra's service. But by smash- ing placementg and tantalizing lobs the Australianb overcame the. com: manding lead and finally won the zame. The tenth game found Hawkes lofting over his twisting service, which had proved difficult to handle all the afternoon. But the Frenchmen sud- denly solved the problem and took a 15-40 lead. Two vicious placements by Patterson and an eut by the French: men gave the Australians an advan- tage, after which Patterson shot over another placement for a victory. Then games went with seryice until the Frenchmen broke ~ through Hawkes on the eighteenth to win the set and match. > Today’s victory gives France a strategic lead in the battle to deter- mine an opponent for America in the challenge round. The two mnations divided their singles play yesterday, and today’s triumph gives France a lead of twofo one. The final matches will be played Monday, with James O. Anderson, the Australian captain, facing LaCoste and Patterson meeting Borotra. An even break in Monday's singles will glve France the honor, while Aus- tralla must sweep Monday’s matches to_gain the challenge round.

For the last game of the block with the Red Sox Manager Harris will send Jez Zachary to the hill. He has yet to beat or be beaten by the Fohl- men this year. In all likelihood, Man- ager Fohl will oppose Zachary with Howard Ehmke, generally considered the best bet of the Red So on the ab. About the oddest double-play made by the Nationals this season was ac- complished in the fourth inning of yesterday’s game. The Red Sox had the bases filled with one out when Flagstead _rified a - liner toward Dutch raised his gloved hand and the ball caromed off it to Bucky Harris. The manager made a shoetop catch and stepped on sec- ond base before Wingfield could scramble back to that sack. Todt’s triple off Ruether in the first inning was a healthy slam to deep centerfield, but he was fortunate to get three bases on his hit off Ballou in the seventh. It was a low liner to center that McNeely came in to take on the first bound. ‘A, freak hop, how- ever, sent the ball over Earl's head and before he could return it to the infleld Todt was sliding into third ‘Wingfield's homer in the second in- ning was one of the few ever made within the confines of Clark Griffith Stadium. It was a terrific slam that skidded past McNeely and rolled to the extreme corner of the park. Bucky Harris was in a savage hit- ting mood, getting three clouts in four times at bat. He doubled to the bloody angle in right in the first in- ning, singled over first base in the third inning and rolled a one-baser to center in the fifth. Williams’ muff ‘of | V! a fly ball put Bucky on base in the sixth. Sam Rice never reached first base in his four times at bat, but he drove in two runms. His grounder to Prothro enabled McNeely to score in the first inning, and a similar rap by Rice to Rogell put Earl across the plate in the third. Joe Judge broke into the National line-up for the first time since he was hit in the head by one of Earl White- hill's pitches, more than two weeks ago. Tfiter tripled in the eighth.

KNICKS ABOUT SURE OF SECTION B TITLE Knickerbockers practically clinched the title in Section B of the District LIMIT OF 16 QUALIFIERS LIKELY TO BE DISCARDED Oakmont Tourney Brings Concerted Protest Against Restriction and Also Proves Younger Genera- * tion Is About to Displace Old Guard. for the amateur championship P ITTSBURGH, September 5.—From the whirl of the title competition of .the United States, ended today at Oakmont, have come two unescapable conclusions, borne in during the heat of the battle and the apparent inevitable fall of a half dozen stalwarts of the game either in the medal round or in the first two match play rounds. First and foremost is that probably never again will the United States Golf Association set the qualifying deadline at 16 men. varied kicks, against the injustice of the slimness ranging from mild conversation to violent imprecation of the qualifying group still resound and from all over the Nation the golfers appear to have risen in a body to protest the unfairness of this met The second is that a new and virile generation has risen in the game, definitely displacing the stars of a decade ago, challenging the old order and beating down the champlons of other years by the potency of the strength and the will-to-win of youth. And pressing close on the heels of this fact is the rising supremacy of Atlanta, a city which until this year boasted only of the champion of champions — Bobby Jones. = Today Bobby Jones stands with a worthy rival on his right hand, rival not alone a challenger for sectional hon- ors, but a lad who has taken his place with the great golfers of the Nation. New Golfing Generation. Watts Gunn by name, the son of & family renowned in athletic annals of the Bouth, a foot ball player of ability at Mercer College, and a golfer whose power not even Bob Jones can successfully challenge without fear. Gunn and_Roland MacKenzie, our own Roland of Washington, stand out as the two surprises of this tourna- ment, heralding the dawn of & new day and a new generation in national | golf, forbrunners of a group that has beaten down and will usurp the places of the Evanses, Sweetsters, Ouimets and Gardners of the present day. The world knows much of Roland MacKenzie. Washington knows more. But the world knows very little of Watts Gunn, the second Bobby Jones | from Atlanta, the lad whose name was not given consideration even to qualify, but whose game was the outstanding featura of the tourna- ment. Short and stocky, built very much on’ the same physical lines as Bobby Jones, Watts Gunn hits the ball with the same crispness as Jones displays. His style is not as pleasing to watch, nor.yet as smooth as that of Jones, but Gunn is longer from the tee than Atlanta Bob, just as straight, and even if mot s0 good out of trouble and from the edge of the green, has hod of deciding the champio one of the greatest stop shots any championship has produced. Gunn, however, is not alone bringing the new era to the chz ship. Where Evans, Ouimet, Mars ton, Gardner and Herron, all ex-cham pions, falled to qualify, there were Upson, Mackie, Dick Jones, Gunn and Vincent Bradford, all in the match play rounds. The total vears of the five do not total 100. The eldest o the group is Dick Jones, the lad who beat Roland MacKenzie, and he is only 20., Upson also is 20, but a fe months younger than Jones, the kid veteran of a hundred tournaments, who plays with the assurance of a Hagen and the lack of nerves of a MacDonald Smith. Mackie Is the sou of Jack Mackie, professional at Ingp wood. Bradford, a Pittsburgh prod- uct, is not o good as the other four, but still was good enough to qualify where the champions failed. Oakmont has brought two irrefut | able facts—the first that the cham | pionship doubtless will never agair | be played as it was played here this | week; the other, that a new era has risen'in the amateur zame and that a | new champion is in process of deve! | opment, either from Washington o from Atlanta. For Roland MacKen zie, even though he was nosed out by Dick Jones, is a championship possibility and is bound to win soon. | A phrase dropped from the lips o Hagen a few months ago in a barn storming exhibition tour of the coun try recurs: “You can drop off the | train anywhere and get licked,” Hagen | said. Meaning that golf has progressed ! to the Ypoint where the local celebrity is quite likely to trim the national champion; that Green Hill or | Gull Lake, out in the wilds of Mich- | 1gan or the swamps of Louisiana, may produce a potential national title { holder and that the championship is becoming every year more a free-for all, with no man an odds-on favorite to ‘win. in THE CALL OF THE OUTDOORS BY WILL H.

He suffering from blood poisoning in the Baratoga Springs Hospital. I confess I don't know what the red trout is, for I have never seen one. But I have talked with returned |anglers and have read accounts written by others and am convinced | that not only are there red trout in | plenty in this country, but that the red trout must be a wonderful fish. According to some anglers, the Canadian red trout outfights the sal- mon or any other kind of trout John B. DeMille in Forest Stream tells of having found the water “literally alive with trout” in some of the inland lakes in the Gaspe country. The red trout are described as-large trout, beautifully colored and demon fighters. The aquatic propensities of moose, I find, are not so, well known as they should be. The fact that such a monster animal is so at home in the water is almost incomprehensi- ble. But the moose will sink into mud deep enough to hopelessly mire a cow or horse and will walk out easily. This is because his hind leg: are ®lmost double-jointed, and he ca lift his hoofs as high as his back and can almost scratch his ears with them. Here's what about him: The late Dr. Wheeler, who hunted many Vears with me, and svho was killed in France during the World War, in one of his articles referring to moose called them ‘swamp hogs. I think that this is a very appropriate name, as they spend most.of their time in Summer in swamps, lakes and dead waters, feeding on pond lilles and aquatic’ plants. They will g0 down to the bottom of the lakes and feed on the vegetation that grows there and will.stay under water long enough to drown two or three men.f one after another. They nearly de- stroyed many of the best fishing lakes by feeding on the bottoms and making the water so muddy the fish couldn’t live in them. “I remember once paddling along & dead water when something rose be- hind me which took such a start out of me that I nearly upset the canoe thinking it was some sea monster that had come up the river and got- ten into the lake, but it was only a moose.” Henry Braithwalite y, Your Old Hat % Made New Again Cleaning.
