SPORTS. $ TIGERS CRADUALLY | OVERRAULING TRBE Bengals for Past Month Play | at First-Division Gait for Average of .600. BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR., Associated Press Sports Writer. - LMOST obscured in the struggles of the mighty around the top | positions in the major league | standings, the Detroit Tigers have been putting on & spurt that has carried them almost into the first divi- sion of the American League. The ‘Tigers are only one and one-half games behind the fourth-place Cleveland In- digns today, despite their inability to | cope with the heroic gestures of Babe Ruth in their opening clash with the New York Yankees yesterday. While the Tigers were losing one game, due to Ruth's demonstration of | the reasons for his great reputation, | Cleveland was dropping two to the | Philadelphia Athletics to make the Tourth-place struggle more interesting. The Tiger record for the past month has been of first division caliber, 18 | victories and 12 defeats for an average of .600. In the same period only the rampant Athletics and the Yankees bave done better than that. ‘The Yankees stopped the Detroit climb for a while yesterday, but only after Ruth had put on a great performance to win a 6-to-5 decision in a close battle. The Babe clouted his forty-third homer in the third inning, with his mascot, Jimmy Reese, on base to climax a big Yankee rally, then drove in the win- ning run in the ninth at the highly crucial moment when there were two out and two strikes on him The victory was not of much use to the Yanks except to hold them in their ition behind Philadelphia and Wash- gton without a serious loss. With Mose Grove and Bill Shores rwchmx & pair of good games, the Ath- letics twice trounced the Cleveland In- dians by scores of 9 to 1 and 7 to 0. Washington held second place, a game ahead of the Yanks, by scoring four runs off Ted Lyons in the third inning %o take a speedy game from the White 8ox, 5 to 4. Ruling Will Not Stop Winter Olympic Plans NEW YORK, August 13 (#).—De- spite the delayed decision of the State Court of Appeals, declaring unconstitutional the law providing for construction of a hobsleigh run on State lands of the forest preserve, the inter games of the 1932 0|ym§lc will go on as scheduled. And the reason is the bobsled run will be built on the property of the Lake Placid Club and not on State lands. A law was passed lasi year providing for the erection of & run on State lands, but finding it uncon- stitutional the Olympic Winter Games found another site, thus overcoming t€ legal diffi- culties.

By the Assoclated Press. EW YORK, August 13.—With America’s two ranking woman tennis players out of the com- petition, Betty Nuthall, 19-year- old English star, and Mrs. Anna Harper of San Francisco have been accorded the places of honor in the draw for the national women’s singles championship starting at Forest Hills next Monday. The decision of Mrs. Helen Wills Moody not to defend her title and the poor heaith of Helen Jacobs has not only shorn the tournament of much of its color, but left the championship wide open for the first time in recent years. Miss Nuthall, who was defeated in the finals in 1927 by Mrs. Moody, probably will be installed the tourney favorite. Although Mrs. Harper ranks No. 5 on the national list, she was seeded No. 1 among the American players, while Miss Nuthall was placed at No. 1 in the for- eign entries, which consist of Baroness LASSIES' ROSEDALE in Annual Meet First Time in Four Years.

Virginia Williams, whom Sandy A mour, the club pro, hails as one of the best of the younger group of woman players about Washington, won the women's tournament at Congressional yester scoring 36 with a 7 handi- cap for a net card of 20. The compe- tition was an 18-hole event, in which the best nine holes of the players were chosen, from which the handicap was deducted. In second place was Mrs. H. A. Knox, who had 37—3—34. The second division was won by Mrs. W. R. Bush, who had a score of 45—9—36, and a tie for second place resulted in this division between Mrs. H. H. Moffitt, 44—7--37, and Mrs, C. B.

Murphy of Columbia joined & party of Manor Club golfers who went on a fishing trip over the week end on Chesapeake Bay. The party went out on the water with the understanding that the man who caught the biggest fish would receive proceeds of a pool into which each member of the party put a small amount of money. You know how it is on these fishing trips. Some one always wants to fish, and to add to the gayety of the occasion they get up these pools. Some one usually wins them. They sat and fished and fished and sat, and finally Murphy got a tentative tug at his line: He pulled up the denizen of the deep and found on the hook a little toad fisk. about four inches long. The fish was so small that Murphy dropped it in the pocket of his shirt as a joke. But the joke was on the others, for that was the only fish they caught and Murphy collected the pot- with his 4-inch toad fish. “What fish?” said Murphy, as he collected. Mrs. B. C. Hartig, chairman of the Women's Golf Committee of the Manor Club, won the first flight in the minia- ture tourney held by the club yesterday, defeating the medalist, Mrs. H. B. Hird, in the final round, by 4 and 3. Mrs. Hird registered 27 in the qualifying round. The second flight was won by Miss Helen Fay, who defeated Mrs. Dwight N. Burnham in the final. Mrs. E. M.
