- — g Na Hit After Ruffing Passes Two With Two Out—Win Hurled by Newsom. BY FRANCIS E. STAN, Staff Correspondent of The Star. EW YORK, July 27.—Ossle Bluege, whom the Yanks pub- N licly pooh-poohed when Mickey Cochrane picked him on the American League all-star team receptly stepped out of the gloaming in Yankee Stadium today and collected on the libel suit. The gent slithered a single with two away in the ninth inning that was good enough to permit Fred Schulte to lumber over the plate from second base and get an 8-to-7 decision over the sad-eyed New Yorks. Thus was another measure of re- wvenge over the Yanks gained by the Griffs, over whose prostrate forms the New Yorks stepped into the lead on Memorial day, then tripped and fell down in the last two days. The Yanks, so taut you could play tunes on their fingers, couldn’t even lick the seventh-place Griffs with Lady Luck helping them.

This gratifying display of power first became manifest in the third inning after a triple by Lou Gehrig and a fluky single by Ben Chapman had spotted the Yanks a 1-0 lead. | Newsom, himself, stirred his ec- centric self at bat to open the third with a single and Joe Kuhel followed by drawing a pass. Herr Heinie Manush, New York public enemy No. 1 until succeeded by Bluege in the later innings, then lofted a high fly to left field, which was promptly and completely lost in the sun by Jess Hill. The left fielder picked it up in time, however, to force Newsom at third with a throw to Red Rolfe. Then Capt. Buddy Myer rapped a smart single to left field and the fleet- | footed Kuhel raced across with the tying run. 1 Nats Hot in Fifth. THE Yanks took the lead away from the Nationals in their half of the third frame when Hill's base on balls and subsequent singles by Rolfe and Robinson Crusoe Selkirk made it 2 to 1. In the fourth, though, Schulte and Red Kress singled and Schulte scored on Sam Holbrook’s one-baser. | Up to this point the Griffs had been only nuisances, but in the fifth inning they became downright nasty. Manush opened the round by walking and hot- footing it to second on Myer's single. Powell flied out, but then Harris’ strategy began to work on a rgally | large scale. i ‘The Schulte-Kress combination ac- | counted for successive singles once | again, scoring Manush and Myer. | ‘The blow by Schulte brought Johnny | Murphy on the scene as a would-be | rescuer, but it was not Fordham | Johnny's day. After Kress' one-baser, Bluege rammed out a single to score Schulte and then Holbrook walked, filling the bases. This brought up Newsom, who took one strike, swung for another at a all above his head, then confounded the congregation by ripping a cleln\ hit to center field, scoring Kress and Bluege. It was Washington, 7 to 2. Yanks Get Great Break. \GGING their tails behind them, the Yanks merely went through the motions thereafter until fortune gave them a helping hand in the seventh, which Chapman opened with & single and then watched Prankie Crosetti fly out. Up came Earl Combs, batting for Murphy, and Earl swatted a grounder to Kress that had double-play written all over it. Instead, as Red joyously reached for it, it struck a pebble and hopped over Kress' dome for a freak double that scored Chapman and paved the way for & 5-run Yank uprising, the score. Hill followed with a single, scoring Combs and then, after Rolfe had forced Hill, Selkirk drew a pass. Gehrig shot a homer into the right fleld bleachers for a 7-7 score. .Red Ruffing came on to pitch for the Yanks after this.

BY GAYLE TALBOT, Associated Press Sports Writer. IMBLEDON, England, July 27.—There was something hauntingly familiar about the atmosphere around Wimbledon's cloistered confines to- night as America’s Davis Cup tennis players, beaten in the two opening singles matches of the challenge round, tried to assume cheery fronts as they prepared to ‘pmf & quiet week end in the country. The official count was 2 to’0 for England, both Wilmer Allison of Austin, Tex., and 20-year-old Don Budge of Oakland, Calif, losing to H. W. (Bunny) Austin and Fred J. Perry, respectively. The hardest blow |of all was the short-panted Austin’s triumph, for it was hopefully figured he would be the victim of two Amer- ican victories. Instead, he took the measure of Allison in five sets, 6—2, 2—6, 4—6, 6—4, T—5, while Budge captured the fancy of the capacity crowd of more than 15,000 by extend- ing the sparkling Perry to four sets before bowing, 6—0, 6—8, 6—3, 6—4. As matters stood the United States was in exactly the same spot it oc- cupied a year ago, both in the matter of defeats at the end of the first day and in prospects for the next three matches. Allison’s failure to “take” Austin sent America’s hopes of re- capturing the coveted cup, lost since {1927, down around the zero point. The American team, however, was not entirely downcast.

Allen is looked upon by the Nationals as the tough man to beat. The right- handed Tarheel has not faced a Wash- ington ball club since 1933.

Joseph Wear, obviously crestfallen, echoed the freckled youngster’s sentiments, but could not get anybody to take him serjously Desperately he recalled how America lost the first two matches to Australia in the 1934 inter-zone final and then swept the next three to gain the challenge round. “It can be done again,” he said grimly. Allison, however, hit the nail on the head and came closer to outlining the situation in a few words. He said: “It looks as though all I can do is come close to winning.” Just like last year, America’s singles representatives tried hard and fre- quently aroused unbounded hope in the breasts of several hundred sup- porters scattered in the big stand One colony of Americans in fact at- tracted much attention by concerted cheering as Allison came within two points of beating Austin. But in the end both the invading players and the cheer leaders wound up behind | the same eight ball. ! Players Rest Today. THE rival players will rest over the Sabbath, resuming the interna- tional court conflict Monday, when the doubles teams will get into action. Uncle Sam will be represented by the veteran combination of Allison and Johnny Van Ryn of Philadelphia op- posed to George Patrick Hughes and C. R. D. Tuckey. The American tan- dem team is favored in this encounter. ‘The concluding singles will be played ‘Tuesday with today’s line-up reversed. There were few willing even to sug- gest that Allison and Budge would take both remaining singles, although Budge possibly will subdue Austin. ‘The famous “Bunny,” who intro- duced short pants to big-time tennis and made them stick, did not look to be a world-beater against Allison. He | was lucky to win after the 31-year-old | Texas veteran led, 5—4, in the de- | ciding set and was within two points of victory. i But it was the Texan who cracked | at the crucial point, while the society favorite on the opposite side of the net stood firmly for England. Alli- son, like Helen Jacobs in her thrill- |ing Wimbledon final against Mrs. | Helen Wills Moody, can remember | one easy kill, which if he only had bunted back over the net instead of | into the mesh, probably would have | crowned him with glory. ! Allison Assaults Net. THE first four sets were played at a | fast clip, which obviously sapped | much of Allison’s strength. Starting the deciding chapter, he summoned all the physical reserve at his com- | mand. He fell flat on his face mak- ing a sensational placement to win the seventh game and go ahead, 4—3, | and then he took things easy to re- | cover from the effects of the fall and permitted Austin to square the match at 4-all almost without a struggle. Allison won the ninth game, catch- ing Austin flat-footed with a beauti- fully gauged lob and then had won two of the first three points of the tenth game, when he cracked wide open. After a few exchanges Austin . “fl returned weakly setting up the sim- plest kind of a kill for his American rival. He swung at it mightily and the ball landed in the net. This fail- ure infuriated the American and he brought his racquet down hard on the net. Plav was halted while an official went out to measure the height of the net. With Austin leading 6—5 in games and 40—30, Allison muffed another set-up, which gave the Briton the final point. He did the same thing with the ball—tried to drive it through the mesh. This time, though, he showed consideration for the net, bringing his racquet down peevishly on the turf instead. Budge a Year Away, API'ER watching Budge, the crowd wag fust about convinced he is
