RUSSELL. whose future with the Griffs practically was inky even after a six-hit performance in St. Louis a few days ago, walked onto the slab after Earl Whitehill, in a righteous fit of rage, had thrown his glove 40 feet in the air and cut loose a few choice epithets on the subject of American League umpiring in general and that by Bill Dineen | in particular. So well chosen were the Whitehill's words that Dineen up and thumbed the southpaw to the showers, leaving the Nationals without a warmed-up pitcher, an enemy base-runner on third, and the Red Sox in possession of a 1-t0-0 lead. Into the fray twitching his right shoulder to get it loosened up. With a mastery that smacked of his relief pitching in 1933, Jack disposed of the side without further damage and from then on subdued the Bosox. He walked no- body, and in the last six innings he faced only 19 batters, one over par. Meantime, his mates wiped out the 1-0 deficit by scoring twice in the sixth frame and adding another run in the seventh. Redmond Fearless in Dive. THE game opened in an uproar. Whitehill, wild, walked Spinach Melillo and then, after Almada had drilled into a force play and Roy Johnson had grounded out, Earl also walked Joe Cronin. Pitching to Rick Ferrell, the rotund local southpaw un- corked a wild pitch, Almada moving to third and Cronin to second, and then another dubious pitch slipped through Jack Redmond's glove for a passed ball. Almada broke for home when the ball got by Redmond, who hurriedly picked it up 10 feet away and dove, face forward, into the gleaming spikes of Almada. From the stands it looked as though Redmond already was lying with his chest covering the plate and | holding the ball when Almada, sensing that he could almost cut off Red- mond’s arm by a slide, checked him- self and skidded around the rookie receiver. Dineen waved Almada safe and | then the storm broke. Rushing in to face the umpire, Whitehill ranted at great length until, finally, he was sent to the club house. Then Russell came in, threw a few practice pitches, and forced Rick Ferrell to pop up to Kress. Red Sox Charge Dineen. UOH‘NNY ‘WELCH was pitching for | the Bostons and, inasmuch as Johnny throws one of those “nothing balls,” it looked as though Washing- ton was due for a sad homecoming. He faced only nine batters in the first three innings and, while touched up & bit in the next two frames, man- aged to keep the Griffs from scoring. In the sixth he lost control and walked Manush and Myer in succes- s&ion and Manager Cronin waved in ‘Walberg. Facing Walberg was young Miles, whose attempted sicrifice forced Manush at third. Then up came Cecil Travis, who beat out an infield hit to fill the bases. Jake Powell, next up, slapped a lazy roller to Werber at third base and Willyjum whipped the ball to Catcher Ferrell in an attempt to force Myer at the plate. When Dineen ruled Myer safe because Fer- yell's foot was not on the dish, an- other storm broke loose, this time from the Boston side, but as usual the umpire won. Walberg then put the rally to a sudden end by making Kress fly to Carl Reynolds, the fleet Miles scoring after the catch, and fanning Pinch- hitter Fred Schulte, who was up for Redmond. Kuhel Scores in Seventh. USSELL started off the Nationals in the seventh, their other scaring inning. Holding his bat through a sponge to protect a recently chipped bone in his right hand, Jack bounced & hit off Walberg’s glove. Kuhel tried to sacrifice Russell to second but suc- ceeded in forcing him. Kubhel atoned for this failing, how- ever, by promply stealing second and then Myer whacked a long triple to the center field scoreboard, scoring Joey with the final run. stalked Russell, | By the Associated Press | ARTMOUTH, England, August 31.—The American racing yacht Yankee, competing in the last race of the English yacht season, under the colors of Gerard B.

The pinch hitter, Walter Carson, took a third strike. Simmons | then came through with his sparkling catch on Galatzer, after which Ken- nedy dealt out his fourth pass of the game to Averill.

INNEAPOLIS, Minn, August 31.—Genna has done it again. For the sixth time in 14 years of competition, Mrs. Glenna Collett Vare won the na- tional women’s golf champi p to- day, turning back the sensational Minneapolis freckle face, 17-year-old Patty Berg, 3 and 2, before a record gallery of 6,000 spectators. Determined to prove to golf that & champion can marry, raise two children and still come back to climb the loftiest heights, Glenna climaxed & drive that twice left her beaten in the finals of 1931 and '32 to sweep through a great fleld that lacked only the defending title holder, Virginia Van Wie of Chicago, to score a vic- tory that was probably the sweetest of them all. Her triumph, gained against a sor- with sub-par golf in a last desperate rally over the closing holes, added to one of the most amazing records in the game. Betters Jones’ Amateur Mark. Smcx she first competed in the national at Shawnee-cn-the-Dela- ware, Pa., in 1919, Mrs. Vare has so clearly dominated feminine competi- tion in America that she has won the title six times, lost in the finals twice and been in the thick of the title rush almost every year except in 1933 when maternal duties forced her to pass up the big show. In winning her sixth national Glen- na scored one more victory than Bob- amateur, Her victory today was achieved at the Interlachen Country | Club, Patty’s home course and the same layout that Jones scored the third trick of his “grand slam” in 1930 by winning the national epen. Cool, calculating and precise with | her beautiful iron shots, Glenna, wife | of Edwin H. Vare, jr, of Philadelphia and mother of a girl and a boy born in 1933 and '34, was far too steady for her red-headed little rival today. Mrs. Vare’s Iron Shots Tell. USUALLY out-driven by 10 to 20 yards, she repeatedly broke up Patty’s brilliant rallies with irons that split the pin from all angles and dis- tances. On the final two holes, after Patty had rallied to reduce her ma-- gin from 4 to 2 up by scoring ¢ par {and a birdie, Glenna shut her out by | matching her birdie 4 on the 385-yard | thirty-third and then ending the duel by banging a five iron only 6 feet from the cup on the thirty-fourth to col- |lect another birdie. | _Over the distance Glenna was only | three over par. For the 109 noles she of the game’s most difficult courses. Morning Round Tells. PATX‘Y, a fighter right down to the finish, lost the match in the morning, as Glenna, shooting a 179, or one over par, raced away to a 4-up lead. The queen of queens broke the starting deadlock by capturing the third and fourth holes as Patty missed the third green and three-putted the fourth and went around the quarter- turn 2 up, after swapping four of the five outgoing holes. As Patty sudden- | ly grew erratic with her woods Glen- she held on the home green by laying | her iron third within 2 feet of the cup | to match Patty's birdie, score with a 10-foot putt. The afternoon round, which saw Patty playing superbly, was a heart- breaker for the little freckle face who has been playing golf only three years. She won the first hole as Glenna three-putted and then reeled off five straight pars without winaing a hole. Stymied on the twenty-sixth, she lost it to fall 4 down again, a lead Glenna retained as she struck out for the final nine. On the twenty-eight and twenty- ninth, Glenna left the door open with short shots but Patty couldn’t cash ia, joining her by slipping a shot over par on both holes. Comeback is Futile. N THE thirty-first green, still four down and only six to go, little Patty opened her final futile come- | back. She won the thirty-first as ;Glennl muffed a three-foot putt and trimmed her disadvantage to only two holes by canning a 10-footer for a birdie 4 on the 447-yard thirty- second. Patty, fighting before a wildly ex- cited hometown throng, shot another birdie on the thirty-third with the aid of a six-footer, but there Glenna stopped her comeback by banging a beautiful iron second to the green for 8 duplicate four. Then she ended it on the next hole with her trusty six iron, arching her ball 100 yards to within six feet of the can for a birdie three. Patty went down fighting in true spectacular style on that hole, too, as she, off the green with her second, sank a 20-foot putt for her par.

BY BOB CAVAGNARO, Associated Press Sports Writer. | OREST HILLS, N. Y., August 31 i F —Form came dangerously close to taking a terrific beat- | ing in the second round of the Imen's national singles tennis cham- | pionship today as Sidney Wood, Davis Cup alternate and former Wimbledon | champion, turned a seeming inevi- | table defeat into victory and escaped upset elimination that marked the | passage of two foreign stars. Seven thousand spectators, more | than half the capacity of the West Side Club’s stadium, looked on in consternation as Wood, America’s No. 2 star and seeded fourth, stood at the | crossroad of his career against J. Gilbert Hall, unseeded and ranked | twelfth nationally, in one of the most bitterly fought matches ever waged in this Long Island inclosure. Wood's usually gifted racquet, one of the most deftly wielded in the game, was deplorably errant in the first two sets. Hall, on the other hand, hit strong and accurately from both wings in a manner that indi- ‘cawd he had been saving shots for his blond rival. Hall, indeed, was in the plentitude of his powers at all times and in the end it was only ‘Wood's superior shotmaking and ex- perience that enabled him to pull out a five-set decision, 3—6, 3—6, 6—4, 6—4, 6—4. Gallery Hurls Cushions. THE conduct of the gallery was rem- iniscent of a heavyweight cham- pionship fight crowd. Hall was the underdog et the start and received Joads of encouragement from the stands. After the first two sets the crowd shifted its sympathy to Wood and cheered so wildly at times that play had to be halted. Toward the end of the match the spectators got almost completely out of hend and when Wood sent a whistling forehand across for match point thousands of cushions were tossed down into the court. At the start of the third set Wood recovered his form as quickly as he |lost it. He found the touch of his | masterful backhand and used it al- | most exclusively to square the match at two sets apiece. Hall rose to su- preme heights to break Wood's de- |livery in the fourth and sixth games |of the final set. These breaks gave |him a 4-2 lead and then Wood be- stirred himself again and swept four straight games for the set.
