WASHINGTON, D. C, SPORTS SECTION e The Sunday St SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 8, 1935. ## Mangin Tops Menzel in Net Thriller : Griffs Win and Tie to Avoid Cellar DRAMA PACKS WIN OF U. 5. RACKETER Second Set Requires 138 Points—Defeated Czech Rails at Gallery. BY BOB CAVAGNARO, Associated Press Sports Writer. OREST HILLS, N. Y., Septem- ber 7.—The sun shone today for everybody except big Rode- | rich Menzel. H Close to 11,000 spectators all but filled the huge horseshoe stadium of the West Side Club es the combined | men’s and women’s national singles tennis championships were resumed | after five days of postponements and | curtailed programs. : Under an ideal canopy of blue skies and the warm rays of Old Sol they | Jooked on in wonderment as Gregory ; S. Mangin of Newark, N. J., national indoor titieholder and seeded eighth! among the American stars, cut down | the world-ranking Czechoslovakian in | a homeric fourth-round struggle. The | scores were 6—1, 9—7, 6—2. i This victory sent Magin into the; quarter-final round, where he wm‘ meet Sidney B. Wood, jr., and avenged | the five-set defeat he suffered at the| hands of Menzel in the same round | and on the same court & year 2go. | The dynamic Mangin, admittedly one of the best all-time board players in history, didn't permit his Mg' adversary to get started in the first set and then displayed remarkable staying qualities in the protracted and thrilling second set which re- quired 138 points. Gallery Annoys Menzel. ' A LL the drama of the match, packed | with theatricals put on by the| temperamental Menzel, who stomped | | and fumed at the galleries’ sometimes | run into plenty of trouble before ob- | wild conduct occurred in three games —the first, second and tenth of the second chapter. The first game went to deuce 10 times before Mangin could hold his service and six times in the semnd’ game before Menzel's delivery pre- Those two games, using up almost s many points as were played in| the entire first set, left the players; slmost breathless. The umpire was obliged to waive rules and regulations and permitted them a short rest. The next two games followed service and then Menzel broke through Mangin in : the fifth and ran up & 5-4 lead. Hanging on tenaciously, Mangih ihome in Morgantown, W. Va. and | Dranginis, Anthonavage, Karpowitch, ed the jump in the tenth game m'mthmotmenmtommu. Menze! dug in and squared the match | at deuce. In the battle of 16 points that ensued. Menzel twice gained the advantage, but Mangin fought him off heroically, going to the net each time. He took Menzel's stinging forehands and turned them into angled volleyed piscements. In an effort to shake | Mangin, Menzel kept the ball deep, ! ut Greg outsteadied him and won the game to tie the count. L Menzel had obviously piayed him- self out and with the exception of breaking Mangin's delivery in the third game of the last set, the big Caech thereafter wasn't much of a problem for Mangin. Play to Quarter-Finals. JEICET matches were plaved to bring K the men's and women's field up | to the quarter-final round and one round of eight matches was played in | the women's tournament, which saw | the highly-favored Mrs. Sarah Pal- frey Fabyan of Brookline, Mass, pressed hard to turn back the chal- jenge by Preds James of England. | The scores were 7—5, 5—17, 6—4. The defending title hoider, Helen | Jacobs, made short work of Evelyn | Dearman of England, winning 6—2, 6—2. Her victory, along with Mrs. Fabyan's, stripped the foreign sur- vivors down to Nancy Lyle, Mrs.! Phyllis Mudford King and Kay Stam- | mers, all from England. | ‘The winners in the men’s tourna- | ment, besides Mangin, were Don | Budge, Wilmer Allison, Sidney Wood, | jr, and Bryan M. (Bitsy) Grant, jr. Budge, as was expected, put out his | Davis Cup teammate, John Van Ryn | of Philadelphia, in straight sets, 8—6, 6—4, 83—, but the quality of the op- position furnished by Van Ryn was ® surprise. He pressed the California | red-head all the way. | Completing & contest that had been interrupted by rain, Allison eliminated | ‘Gene Mako of Los Angeles, 6—2, 6—0, | 7—5. At the time the match was Dalted by rain last Wednesday. Alli- son was leading, 6—2, 6—0, 2—3, and serving at deuce in the sixth game. Mako led, 5—3, before Allison settled down to run out the set and the match. ' ‘Wood disposed of John McDiarmid of Port Worth, Tex, 6—2, 6—3, 4—86, 6—1, while Bitsy Grant triumphed over the intercollegiate champion, ‘Wikur Hess, also from Fort Worth, —S, 57, 61, 6—4.

PAUL, September 7.—Amer- ico Polli of the Milwaukee| American Association team | turned back St. Paul today without a hit or & run as the Brewers downed the Saints, 3 to 0, in 10 innings. Gullic's homer in the tenth decided the game after Webb reached second on an error. Six St. Paul runners reached first base, three on errors and a like num- ber on walks. Two of them advanced to third, but Polli was the master in the pinches. N THE St. Paul half of the tenth, Norman reached first and contin- ued to second on Storti's bad throw. He went to third on a wild pitch, but Polli forced McWilliams and Fen- ner to hit easy pop flies to the infield and Koster, a pinch-hitter, was out on a fly to right field, It was the first no-Mit game in the 1933, when | Floyd Newkirk, then with St. Paul, blanked Kansas City.

Mickey Cochrane’s dynamiting Detroit Tigers smeared the Athletics in both ends of a double-header today, winning the first game, 9 to 7, and then rubbing it in with a 15-to-1 conquest. A 6-run Detroit rally in the fifth, aided by Marvin Owen’s homer with two on, featured the first game, along with Jimmy PFoxx's pair of four- | Beste baggers, but the real hero of the day was Pitcher Elden Auker’s nightcap twirling.

Rook Estellella Makes Hit With Fans. BY FRANCIS E. STAN. UR Grifith A. C. may have O its shortcomings, but it still retains a sense of pride. The Nationals will, upon the slight. est provocation, jump from sixth to seventh place in the American League standing, fcr instance, but as for the cellar, well the Browns can have it. And the Browns still had it yes. terday when darkness enveloped Griffith Stadium, calling a halt to a 10-inning deadlocked nightcap after the Griffs, pulling themselves to- gether after seven losses in their last eight games with St. Louis, won the opener, 7 to 4. The score of the second game, as seen in the gloaming, was 4-4. It was & close squeak, at that, for the Nationals. Had only they dropped both of yesterday's games our ath- letes would have succeeded the Brownies as eighth-place tenants. Only by dint of two raliies did they escape, and, thanks to the Tigers’ twin victories over the Athletics, take a firmer hold on sixth place. Estellella Makes Debut. IT ‘WAS quite a day, all told. Senor Roberto Estellella of Harrisburg, Pa, and Cuba made his debut in a Washington uniform and made quite a hit with the faithful 4,008. He alsv made one in the ball game, rapping a double off the left-fleld fence. Among other features were the re- lief pitching of Buck Newsom, who can’t win a game for himself, but who is quite s help to teammates in dis- tress; the pinch-hitting of Cecil Travis, who staved off defeat in the nightcap; the socking of Red Kress, and some dumb, and maybe costly, bese running by the same person. There was nothing to indicate, at the outset, that the Nationals were going to do anything except take another poke on the whiskers from the Browns, Our fat Mr. Linke started the pitching in the opening game and was lucky he wasn't hurt in the first inning from the Browns' drives. When the inning was ower it developed that hits by Lyn Larry, Burns, Solters and Coleman bhad carved out a 3-to-0 lead. Linke improved after that frame and his mates, bit by bit, whittled | down the Browns' lead. In the fourth | inning a single by Clff Bolton, an ; error by Clift on Linke's grounder and | one of Joe Kuhel's rare hits cut the St. Louey lead to 3-to-2. Browns' Errors Help. UP WALKED Buddy Meyer in the fifth and Jim Walkup, who was pitching for the Browns, walked him. Dee Miles then forced Buddy stole cecond base, moved up on Travis' infleld out and scored on Jake Powell's t ! single, tying the score. Powell scored himself s moment later when Kress doubled, only to make the mistake of thinking he could stretch it into s triple. ‘The Browns didn't go down without | & fight, though. Solters doubled in the sixth, moved to third on & wild pitch by Linke and scored on Cole- man’s roller to Myer, tying the score at 4-4. But after that, except for an anxious moment in the last inning, it was all Washington, The sieve-like St. Louis defense helped the Griffs to forge ahead again in their half of the sixth frame. Walk- up walked Linke and Kuhel singled Ed to third. from where he scored as Tom Carey booted Heinie Manush's grounder with an easy double play in sight. That made it 5 to ¢. They didn't need ‘em, as things turned out, but the Griffs scored two more runs in the seventh, as a parting shot, when Russ Van Atta was on the slab. Russ walked Travis, pitched singles to Powell and Bolton, and Ed Coleman, by dint of playing Bolton's drive like a shoemaker, helped the Griffls make their final two runs. Newsome Stars in Relief Role. NBWSOMI'S role in the game was brief, but forceful. Linke showed signs of cracking in the last inning and Newsom rushed to the hill, faced his first batter with the bases loaded Y . |and one down, and proceeded to stop ses— es—West, Knott. A —=8t.

By their victory the pace-setting Cardinals maintained their two-and- one-half-game lead over the Chicago Cubs and increased their first-place margin over the Giants to four games. Paul Dean was hit freely for 12 safeties, but the heavy artillery of his teammates enabled the younger mem- ber of the first family of base to Tegister his seventeenth win season and swell his and Diszy’ only 8 victories behind 934 record. weg E! i scored a moment later on Manager Prankie Frisch's single.

Again in the nightcap the Browns were away winging. Lary opening with & double off Earl Whitehill and scoring on Ray Pepper's two-bagger. This time, however, the Griffs didn't wait quite so long to make their bid. Young Senor Estellella, who broke into the shins, drew a walk from Jack Knott and scooted around the bases in unique fashion on Jake Powell's triple. Somewhere between third base and home one of Senor Estellella’s bowed legs missed steps and he went down in a heap, but recovered in time to scors with a desperate slide. Griffs Rally in Eighth. Tflrammmdnunmmmm on the irrepressible Mr. Lary's single, a similar poke by Burns and Solter’s towering fly. Then in the seventh they increased it to 3-to-1 when the usually placid Solters walked, stole second and third bases, and scored when Whitehill threw the ball past Estellella in a last minute at- tempt to catch Solters’ swiping his second base. The eighth inning saw Lary add more woe to his old club’s problems ‘when he singled home Carey, who had doubled.
