August 16—The 3S-year-old turf championship was up again for de- cision today as William Wood- ward’s Gallant FPox and Harry Payne ‘Whitney’s Whichone and three oth- ers meet in the $30,000 Travers over a rain-soaked Saratoga track. Although five were named over- night for the mile-and-a-quarter journey, not more than three may g0 to the post, as W. R. Coe's Caruso and Chaffee Earl's Jim Dandy also have been named for another race. W. S. Kilmer's Sun Falcon is the other entry. Victorious in six starts as a 3- year-old, including a triumph over the Whitney ace in the Belmont Stakes, the Fox will go to post the odds-on favorite at 4 to 5 while Whichone is expected to face the barrier at 6 to 5. Once again the Woodward star will have the alert hand of Earl Sande to guide him. Sonny Workman is expected to be in Whichone's saddle, although trainer Tom Healey may decide to shift to Pony McAtee. | CHANCE FOR GAIN Two Games Ahead, They Meet Phils as Robins Op- pose Tougher Pirates. a four-game set this afternoon, have been trounced five times in seven games, but the Browns have held the| Nationals to a_four-and-three standing In Boston this season the Washing- ton club has won six of seven games played. In New York it have taken five of seven tilts. In Philadelphia, how- ever, the Nationals are on the wrong side ‘of the count. Of nine games played in Shibe Park, they have won but four. HILE his Nationals idled yesterda President Clark Griffith motored to Prederick to watch the Blue Ridge League game between the Fred- erick and Hagerstown clubs. The prexy wasn't after talent, but merely looking over some Washington-owned stock now playing with Hagerstown. He was par- ticularly interested in Gordon Phelps, the Bowie big boy sent to Hagerstown after his trial with the Nationals at| training camp last_Spring. Until yesterday Phelps, who came to the Nationals as a catcher, had played | in the outfield for Hagerstown, but with President Griffith looking on Gor- don was sent back of the bat. Griffith says Phelps caught a good game, con- sidering that it was his first effort in months. But Phelps, who swings from the left side, was facing left-hand hurling and was unable to do anything at bat. OE ENGEL, lone scout of the Na- tionals, still is combing the minors for an outfielder who swings from the right side and can really sock the ball. Joe, it seems, has been around several leagues in search of such a play- er, but has seen nothing that looks nearly so good as Dave Harris, the one right-hand hitting outfielder now_pos- sessed by the Washington club. Presi- dent Griffith declares he is beginnini to believe the Washington club is quite fortunate in having Harris, so scarce are the good right-hand swingers around the countfy. ANAGER JOHNSON was apt t0 re- turn to the Nationals this after- noon and assume command of them in the battling with the Tigers. He has fully recovered from the stom- | ach disorder that kept him away from | his club a few days and seems eager to get back into the game. BIG LEAGUE LEADERS By the Associated Press.

FULLERTON, JR., Associated Press Sports Writer. F the Chicago Cubs are going to win | the National League pennant again this season, the time is at hand | for them to strike the deciding | blows of the battle. The Cubs are in | a fine position today to settle the mat- | ter for once and for all, having scored a thorough triumph over their closest | rivals, the Brooklyn Robins, by winning | three of the four games of the series which ended yesterday. By virtue of their 4-to-3 victory in | yesterday's 10-inning struggle, which | closed the series, the Cubs are out| ahead by two full games. Today they open a series with the comparatively easy Phillies, with five games ahead before they tackle the New York Giants in & series which may become as im- portant as the one just ended. Brooklyn, meanwhile, moves on to tackle the somewhat tougher Pitts- burgh Pirates with comparatively few hopes of regaining the lead in the near future. While the two leading contenders were mauling each other about in Chi- cago, the New York Giants came up into a position menacing to either one of them by trouncing the Cincinnati Reds, 5 to 0, for their fifth victory in six games. This triumph, made easy by Carl Hubbell's four-hit pitching and Bill Terry's timely clouting, left the Giants only a game and one-half be- hind the Cubs. With the entire American League schedule washed out by the rain, it re- mained for the elder circuit to supply all the day's base ball. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh divided a hard-fought double-header. The Phillies took the first clash, 7 to 5./ Pittsburgh went 10 innings for & 3-to-2 triumph in the second. The St. Louis Cardinals picked up their winning streak where Boston broke it Thursday, defeating the Brave 8 to 4. Home runs by Hafey and W kins featured the game. STONEHAM GETS MORE STOCK IN THE GIANTS NEW YORK, August 16 (/).—Charles A. Stoneham, president of the New York Giants, has announced that in- stead of preparing to dispose of his stock in the National League club he had increased his holdings. Following upon announcemen‘ that | J. Henry McNally d purchased the | stock of Willlam F. Kenny, amounting | to 20 per cent, and by other purchases | increased his holdings to approximately |30 per cent, stories persisted that Mc- | Nally would seek to gain control. In a joint statement by Stonenam and John J. McGraw, manager, de- clared McNally could not have pur- chased the 20 per cent held by Kenny | since Sioneham had purchased from Francis X. McQuade approximately 10 per cent of the Kenny stock. Stoneham was understood to control 51 per cent of the club’s stock and the ll(::'. purchase would give him 61 per cent.

Louis B. Dailey, president of the U. would be referred to the Amateur Rule Committee. “It's a poser,” President Dailey re- opinion. A prominent member of the Rule Committee, headed by Holcombe Ward of New York, indicated that to compel Mrs. Moody fo refuse the bequest upon pain of professionalizing herself would be “going too far.” Roscoe Maples, president of the Call- fornia Tennis Association, said he was unable to see how the gift to Mrs. Moody “could possibly affect her ama- teur standing.” By the Associated Press. AN FRANCISCO, August 16.— Helen Wills Moody today branded as “perfectly absurd” the sug- gestion she would jeopardize her amateur tennis standing by accepting A $20,000 legacy bequeathed to her in the will of the late James D. Phelan, former United States Senator. The legacy was one of numerous be- quests revealed when the former Sena- tor's will was filed yesterday, disposing of an estate estimated at $10,000,000. Immediately the question arose in tennis circles whether Mrs. Moody, women's national champion, would en- danger her amateur status by accepting the gift, which, the will said, was “in appreciation of her winning the tennis championship for California.” “It couldn't possibly have anything to do with my amateur standing, and I think the suggestion is in extremely bad taste,” said Mrs. Moody. “I am very sorry that any such con- troversy should arise. There should be nothing said about it whatever. I do not wish it and I am sure Senator Phelan would not have liked it.” The question was sald to be without precedent in tennis, with the case of Bobby Jones a possible parallel in ama- teur sports.

CHICAGO, August 16.—For the sev- enth consecutive week “Bevo" Lebour- veau, veteran Toledo owtfielder, heads the American Association hitting brigade. Lebourveau hiked his percentage one point to .383, unofficial averages re- veal. He also held a 12-point lead over his nearest rival, Nick Cullop of Minneapolis. - Cullop, however, ranked as the fea- ture hitter of the week's play. He boosted his average 11 points to 371, | climbed from fourth to second place and topped the field in most runs scored, hits for the most total bases, most home runs and most runs batted in. His home run collection totaled 39, only three short of the record es- tablished by Bunny Brief of Kansas City in 1921. He has scored 107 runs, batted for a total of 201 bases and rammed over 108 runs. Other leading hitters, the unofficial averages, were High, Minneapolis, .366; Simons, Louisville, .361; Purdy, Columbus, .357; Connolly, Indienapolis, .355; G. Davis, St. Paul, .354; Wingard, Toledo, .354; Henline, ‘Toledo, .352, and McCann, Colum- bus, . Simons led in most hits with 180; Riconda of Minneapolis had 34 dou- bles. while Layne of Louisville led with 18_triples and 31 stolen bases. Ben Tincup of Louisville won his thirteenth game of the season during the seventeenth week and led the field by a wide margin. Oddly enough, the Indian has pitched but 90 innings, or 10 full games, in his favorite relief role. He has lost but one game, No changes were registered among the team leaderships. Toledo clung to first place in team batting with a .321 mark, while St. Paul led in fielding with a .966 percentage. The Saints completed seven more double plays during the week and had a season’s total of 134.

Use of wooden tees is not only au- {horized through the fairways at the Washington club by formal action of the board of governors, but it is urged s & measure toward saving what little {rass remains.

August 16.—Jack Sharkey, the Boston sallor, woh seems to have acquired the habit of disappointing the American fight public, again has stepped forward to figure In the second big heavyweight battle of the year. After giving his verbal consent to fight Primo Carnera for Mique Malloy of Chicago, he yesterday did a right- about-face and signed with Madison Square Garden to meet Victorio Campolo. the giant Argentine, over 15 rounds at the Yankees' ball park on_September 25. Sharkey's sudden change of mind was prompted by a belated discovery that the Garden held an option on the former gob for one more fight providing it was willing to guarantee $100,000. This the Garden agreed to do and in addition Sharkey was given the privilege of accepting 45 per_cent of the net gate receipts. The signing of the South Amer- ican and Sharkey not only ruined a “natural” for Malloy, but practically assured_that the winner will meet young Bill Stribling in the battle of ::e palms at Miami, Fla,, next Win- T. § SURPRISE HORSESHOE CHAMP Beats Favorite for Title at! Wheatley—Gahan Is Victor at Berlin. N one of the outstanding upsets of | Washington preliminaries in The Star’s Metropolitan District Horse- | shoe Tournament, Alvin Kilby won | the championship of Wheatley play-| ground by defeating Eddie Benjamin. Benjamin was a prohibitive favorite | to win the title after he had defeated the 1929 champion, Joe Goldman. A large gallery was kept in an_up- | roar of excitement as Kilby and Ben- Jjamin battled most of the way on even terms. Kilby dropped the first game, | 29 to 51, with Benjamin scoring 23| ringers against his 15. Each tossed 20 | ringers in the second, but Kilby was best with close shoes and won, 51 to 41.

Conway, at the closing pro- ter, won the Dunbar horseshoe cham- plonship of the colored metropolitan tournament, defeating Lawrence Smith, 52 to 45 and 51 to 39. Both games were keenly contested. Early in the first Con- way assumed & comfortable lead and appeared to have Smith outclassed. With the score 29 to 2 against him, Smith found himself by tossing on a pair of double ringers, and he made this a habit until the count stood 36 to 34, Conway leading. From this point it was a battle, with each drawing the praise of the gallery. The last inning was a heart-breaker to Smith. With the count standing 45 to 49 he threw a ringer, only' to see Conway knock it off with his first shoe and place the second around the peg for the game. The second game was Conway's from the start. He established an early lead and he was never headed. In the two games Conway threw 36 ringers while Smith was tossing 30. Smith will play in the divisional matches as runner-up to the Dunbar champion. Clarence Brown and Fred Smith, di- rectors of the Dunbar courts, directed the contests in an efficlent manner. Chairman Julus Wheeler of the North Brentwood tournament reports Felix Tilghman and Samuel Willlams will play in the finals for the local title. Both have cut their way through a tough field.

EW YORK, August 16. — As the present lawn tennis season progresses it re- sembles more and more & scrambled-egg orgy. Startling up- | sets besprinkle the tournaments like morning dew upon the turf. Anything is liable to happen. Of course some of the competitions are not to be too seriously regard- ed. Such a peerless performer as Big Bill Tilden is not giving any- thing away, just like candy to the babies, in order to encourage young and budding talent. Now here is Tilden, right with the national cham hips in sight, hav- ing his old trick knee cut up again. That was the way it was doing, it may be remembered, when he went against the famous Frenchmen, to lose his own national champlonship ecrown, as well as defeat in the Davis Cup matches. Bill Jinxed at Home. Last week at Southampton, where | Tilden was “chucked in" in & manner which is receiving a considerable amount of attention from the officials of the U. ’s. L. T. A, it was Prancis X. Shields who lowered his colors. When one thinks it all over it appears inconceivable, Til- den had won 13 out of 14 tournaments upon the Riviera. He had fought his way throvg to a victory at Wimbledon, orious triumph, after nine years of defeat. Then the great player returns to his native land, to be toppled over by one | outside the realms of the top 10. Right on top of that Clifford Sutter, the 20- year-old boy from Tulane University, gives Big Bill another surprise at Rye. It may be argued that the competition on the turf courts up in Westchester has been somewhat messy. Reports fail to class it as a model tournament. For all that, Tilden had a leg on the cup, and no doubt was ready to score an- other one—when his own leg begins do- ing fancy things. Sutter No Flash. It is impossible to attach any blam: to Sutter for some of the happenings at Westchester. Sutter has been demon- strating in no uncertain way that he is one of the great outstanding discoveries | of the present season. He won the na- tional intercollegiate title. Then he took the classic Longwood Bowl in the final, De- | conquering no less & “comer” than Sid- ney S. Wood, jr., who is another of the gay little upsetters. What officlals are wondering is whether or not Tilden is getting ready to do the vanishing act on the national championship tournament. That would, indeed. be a startling climax to a sea- son filled to the brim with amazing re- sults. Perhlga that is the explanation appened at Rye. of what has at 3 Tilden's atack of “trick knee" cfln% so closely uj the sudden withdra of Mrs. Helen Wills Moody from na- tional championship competition causes more than mere bewilderment. Throughout the realms of lawn tennis there has been the expectation for some time that Tilden would suddenly “crack” and go to pleces. Now it appears that ‘Tilden’s legs, actually one of the great- est assets of his game, are beginning to prove unreliable. . “WHOLESALE” TENNIS IN EASTERN TOURNEY By the Assoclated Press. RYE, N.
