SPORTS. e e S =——ae e e elen Moody Is Primed to Regain United States Tennis Title She Forfeited \ IN SAME POSITION SHE HELD N 192 Got Back Deserted Crown From Mallory Then, Now Goes for Nuthall. BY J. P. ALLEN. EW YORK, August 13.—Once # more Mrs. Helen Wills| Moody is primed for the | attempt to regain a lost‘ krown of the tennis courts. That is exactly the position she held in 1927, when she faced the| battles of the national champion- | ship tournament to make con- quest for the title Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory had won in her absence the previous year. Last season, with Mrs. Moody remain- ing in retirement on the Pacific Coast, it was the energetic Betty Nuthall of | England who captured the American | honors—the first foreigner ever to do so. | ‘The erstwhile queen of Wimbledon | and America tops the seeded group of | Americans in the draw of 64 compet- itors for the forty-fourth annual cham- ionship of the United States. In the rop half with her the arbitrarily placed contestants, both homebreds and_for- eign, are the Baroness Levi of Italy, Dorothy Weisel, Mrs. Eileen Bennett ‘Whittingstall, Mrs. Marion Zinderstein Jessup, , Mrs. Shepherd-Barron, Mrs. John Van Ryn and Miss Nuthall.

Mrs. Whittingstall, who clashes with | Clara Zinke in her first-round match, mppears to be the most likely British contender for Mrs. Moody in the fourth sound. That stands as the quarter- finals.

Y., August 13 (#)—The Binghamton Press yes- terday printed a signed state- ment by its publisher, Willis Sharpe Kilmer, breeder and owner of Sun Beau, world champion money- winning horse, declaring that “for no inducement and under no condi- tions” will Sun Beau ever start at Agua Caliente again. The statement resulted from a story that Sun Beau and Phar Lap, the Australian champion, might meet at _the Mexican track next Winter. Sun Beau, a heavy favorite in the ‘Winter book and at the peak of con- dition, lost the Agua Caliente handi- cap last Winter to Mike Hall, owned by R. M. Eastman. In the recent Arlington meet he defeated Mike Hall in three consecutive starts. YOUNG HORSESHOE PITCHERS SPARKLE “Finds” Crop Up Every Day in Metro Tournament. One Beats Kruse.

Barney Berlinger, the one-man team late of the University of Penn- sylvania, again was the outstanding star, winning three events and taking | second behind his teammate Walter Marty of the Olympic Club, San Pran- cisco, in another. Berlinger Sets Record. ‘Berlinger won the discus with a heave of 125 feet 5% inches for a new South African record, pole vaulted 12 feet 6 inches and was"a close second to Marty in the high jump. Marty leaped 6 feet 6% inches to win the high jump and put a new South African record on the books.

ROOKLYN, N. Y., August 13.— Jess Haines, the old knuckle ball master of the Cardinals, appears to be improving with age, miking no end of embarrass- ment for those fans who have been predicting for some time now that “he’s about through.” If big Jess is “about through,” he has given no indication of it this season, except that the rest between games is longer than it used to be. They're saying in base ball circles that Haines probably will pitch the World Series operer against the Atbletics, if, as seems almost cer- tain, the American and National League champions repeat. When Haines, who started pitch- ing baseball for a living back in 1914 shut out the Brooklyn Dodgers in the first game of yester- day’s dpuble-header, he chalked up his tenth win of the season, against two defeats. In the last three games he has pitched, against Boston, Pittsburgh and Brooklyn, only one enemy batter has reached the scor- ing station. In those 27 innings Jess was rather liberal with base hits, allowing a total of 26, but he was stingy at crucial moments. Out of action nearly a month this year from a wrist injury, Haines found it difficult to go nine innings for a time after his return to duty, but his last three starts indicate the knuckle ball is working to per- fection again. The result, he says, of his first trip to Hot Springs, Haines reported in better condition than usual last Crowley of the New York A. C, won| the mile in 4:3145, and the relay squad of Williams, Long, Hatfield and Genung, won the mile medley relay in 3 minutes 413 seconds. The meet was run off before 3,000 spectators. Spring. Burleigh Grimes, who has been making trips to the springs for years, also believes the visit to the Spa did Jess no little good Haines and Grimes spent nearly a month there before joining the rest of the team at Bradenton, Fla Haines has been pitching for the Cardinals since 1920 and is the old- est player in point of service on the club. He was 38 years old July 22. Jess always has been effective when the going was toughest, and hopes to open the World Series hos- tilities in October. He pitched one of the two games the Cards won from the A’ last Fall, allowing only four hits. DUPLIN GETS NEW JOB |Quits G. U. Prep for Stoneham High—Succeeded by Gardner.
