STAN. «© EH,” remarked Lefty McIntyre, “r'd like to pitch 'em both tomorrow, but I guess Bill, here, won't let me.” “Well, T might consider it,” said Bill, “but remember that you've got to pitch again Monday against Washington Terminal.” “Don’'t worry, I can go it,” answered Lefty, “I just get warmed up after pitching & double-header.” A little group, well known to local the back of the Howard A.

So big-hearted Lefty volunteered to pitch them both. All of which goes to show that Lefty Meclntyre is up to his old tricks a pitching as often as he can ‘es his hands on the ball Mac had just finished a neat mound performance the dly before when he pitched his Pullman team to an upper berth in the Terminal “¥” l‘l‘ue.

By the Assoclated Press. ARIS, May 17.—Despite the whole- hearted and formidable assist- ance of Big Bill Tilden, Eng- land was able to gain only the short end of a 5-to-4 score in nine matches of an inter-country tennis tournament with France today. The excellent form dflpllyed by the seven-time American champion, com- peting for England as an honorary member of the British Lawn Tennis Club, was the brightest feature of the day’s play to American spectators, who vowed that Tilden's long Winter cam- paign on the Riveria had enabled him to appear oh the Paris courts in the | best form he has shown in years. Tilden-Cochet Match Seen. | Already Americans are visualizing a final battle for the French hard court championship between -Tilden and Henry Cochet, ace of the French Davis Cup squad now that Rene Lacoste seems definitely out of the year’s play. Big Bill paired with Bunny Austin, young British star, in the featured doubles match of the series and was the strongest player on the courts in beat- ing Cochet and Jacques Brugnon, who will team in the Davis Cup doubles final round, 2—6, 6—4, 6—4. Tilden ‘never lost his service and played as brilliantly as in the heyday of his career. Cochet also was superb. Aside from the doubles conquest of Tilden and Austin, England’s victories were scored by the second string doubles combination of I. G. Collins and J. C. Gregory, who beat Jean Borotra and Rene de Buzelet, 6—2, 7—5, and two singles. Austin defeated Brugnon, 8—6, 6—2, and Nigel Sharpe beat Plerre Llndry , 6—3. Blanchy Wins for Oldsters. For the French Borotra turned in a singles victory over H. G. N. Lee, 3—6, 6—1, 6—4, and De Buzelet defeated Gregory, 6—3, 8—6. Antoine Gentien beat Collins, 8—6, 6—3. Two French veterans outscored their British rivals, Roger Guillemaut nosing out M. J. G. Ritchie, 12—10, 6—4, while Francols Blanchy, champion of France in olden days, won the contest for veterans over 40 years old from A. L. Kingscot, 6—3.

Just before be left, however, Bill Flester took occasion to announce that on June 8 his team will engage the Northerns in the Griffith Stadium. “Who'll pitch for the Frencies, Bill?" asked ‘one of the gathering. Hardly had the words been spoken when Lefty horred in with: “I'll be in there serv- ing them up, you can bet on that.” against Washington Terminal in another “Y" League game, Figure it out if you can, Anyway it must be true, for no,less an authority than Manager Bill Flester vouches for it. When asked if Lefty really could do it, Bill volunteered: “Sure he can. Last year when he was pitching for the oid-Georgetown club, Lefty faced Elkridge in a double- header and after beating them, 3 to 2, in 10 innings in the first game, he came back in the night-cap w win & 4-t0-2 victory. “One reason for his ability to pitch one game after another,” continued Bill, “is his good control. Most left- handers that I know are wild, but Mc- Intyre compiled a most unusual record last season when he pitched 47 con- secutive innings without yielding a base on balls, He won 14 straight for Georgetown and three of his victories were chalked up in two days when he beat the Gambrial team of Baltimore one day and then came back the next against Laurel in a Labor day double- bill and added two more. And that's some pitching of you ask me.” Lefty first pulled his iron man stunt in 1926, the year he got his first chance at professional ball. He was signed with the Martinsburg club of the Blue Ridge League and on the first day he reported, Martinsburg was Goubie-neader Lety, making i eague iouble-header. . league debut, won the first game o 'Hnws the arm, Leny," asked the It'.l O. K." said Lefty. Think you can go the next one?” the Martinsburg pilot queried, d upon receiving an answer in the firmative he sent Mclntyre to e mound for the second time that after- noon. And he won the game! Then, on the next day he went his boss one better, for he won his third game in two days when he entered the game as a relief pitcher and got credit for the win. From Martinsburg Mac went to Milwaukee of the American Associa- tion, where he stayed off and on for about three yeras, finally jumping the WIT because he did not get enough work. Lefty attributes much of his sandlot success to Fee Colliere, the roly-poly catcher of the Prenchs and Pulimans. Fee, who 1s bullt almost as broad as he is tall, and resembles Hack Wilson of the Cubs, except that he has no desire to meet Art Shires, is rated by TODAY 'BASE BALL /%A AMERICAN LEAGUE PARK Washington vs. Philadelphia TICKETS ON SALE AT PARK AT 9:00 AM.

TENNIS STARS Davis Cup Players Clash in Capital With Mexicans This Week. HILADELPHIA, May 17 (#).—The United States Davis Cup tennis team goes forth to meet the Mexican racquet wielders at the Chevy Chase Club, in Washington, D. C., next w.ck with a clean record of five victories and no defeats in its elimination contest with the Canadian tennis players here this week.

The two victories today were not needed to give the Americans the right to meet Mexico, but they put all they had into their game and played as if the result of the meet depended on their performance. There seemed to be no doubt about the outcome of either match, u!t.hough for a moment it ap- t Rainville would defeat Al- lison’s .mbmnn to win in straight sets. In the three matches yesterday John Van Ryn defeated Wright and George M. Lott, jr, won from Rainville, and then Van Ryn and Allison won_the doubles contest from Wright and Wil- lard Crocker.
