IGHTING an apparently hopeless cause after dropping three of the first four games, Fleshman won the fifth after being down, 17-0, and needed the next to avert defeat. In this he trailed until the score stood 43 to 41 in his favor, then the real | excitement commenced. A double | ringer when Jarrell missed with both shoes put the scrappy Fleshman one | point from victory. but Jarrell staved off that point for two innings. With a burst of ringer throwing he brought the score to 49-48, Fleshman ahead In the crucial inning Jarrell tossed first One of his shoes found the stake. It was up to Fleshman to top it or finish second in the champion- | &hip battle. | The gallery held its breath as Flesh- man let go with his first pitch. It was on!

It was almost on the stroke of mid- night last night at McMillan Park when Fleshman, competing in The Star tournament, fired the shoe that finished off the defending champion, ‘Temple Jarrell of Hyattsville, former University of Maryland student, four games to three, and regained for Fleshman the title he dropped to Jar- rell three years ago. To speak of a horseshoe match as| thrilling may bring a smirk to the pans of those who go for the ‘“red blooded” sports, but every man and woman Wwho saw the scrap between Fleshman and Jarrell came away tingling, still a thrill from the final inning of the sixth game, in which Fleshman showed the stuff without which few championships of any kind are won. ¥ %"0 Bill DismerJr Remember hearing about Baron Votem - Smith, the somewhat mysterious entrant in the Middle Atlantic tournament, who was beaten in the first round last Saturday by Hugh Lynch, the seeded No. 1 play- er? Two stories were circulated about the “Baron” at the time, one, that he really was an English munitions ex- pert traveling incognito, and the other that he was a British noble looking over the Maryland girls—following the Duke of Windsor's example. Neither, it develops, was correct. The Baron Votem-Smith was plain Jimmy Smith, a New York broker a personal friend of Breese. The latter had entered his name with the notation that he was a baron merely as a joke on Smith. Smith, it developed, became embarrassed when he learned of the trick, but decided to ILL BREESE, it appears, is quite a jokester. carry it through for the sake of fun. As it turned out, it was not only a joke on Smith, but on players, spec- tators and the three Sunday papers who fell for the “baron” hook, line and sinker. ANO'I'HER little-known fact about the tourney, now in its fifth day at the Edgemoor Club, is that it came within an ace of losing, by defauit, Dooly Mitchell, the first locally seeded player. In fact, it did lose him, only io get him back when Mitchell exer- cised what usually is an exclusive prerogatory of the fair sex—that of changing his mind. In the midst of getting the tourney under way last Saturday, the com- mittee received a letter from Mitch- ell, then out of town, that he wished to withdraw his name from the list of entrants. “Over-tennised” was the reason given by the local star for his action. Saturday and Sunday passed with- out Mitchell showing up, but officials sensed that the young accountant might reconsider when he came out to his club's court and saw the competition. It happened just that way. Mitchell rode out Monday aft- erncon, tock a look around and said, “Sure, 'm going to play. Where's my opponent?” MBS % VOLLERS 8 fault over Tommy Moorhead, who was forced to leave the city. Bill Howard, who wes extended to two 7—5 decisions by Peter Gartner, was to meet the winner of the Garlgr- Parrish match, while fourth-seeded Tony Latona was to play Stan Mc- Caskey. Dooly Mitchell, who found time for only one set against Charles Heacock, ex-Missouri Valley champion, yesterday after beating Stewart Par- Ker, 6—1, 6—1, was to complete the Heacock business today. Mifchell won the first set, 6—3. Bill Breese, who again had trouble in turning back an unseeded player, Elwood Hoffecker, yesterday, was to face Ray Stock- linski. Breese was extended to 9—7 after taking the first set at love. Two Junior Davis Cuppers, Billy Turner and Billy Contreras, rounded out today's schedule, the latter ad- vancing yesterday with a hard-fought victory over Harry March, 6—1, 5—1, 5. GIL HUNT had a day of rest today before meeting Jiro Yamagishi, the Japanese champion, in the quarter- finals at Southampton tomorrow. The local star had to flash brilliance in the third set yesterday, however, before downing Gardnar Mulloy, 6—4, 7—9, 6—0. Barney Welsh though, was out of the running, eliminated by top-seeded Bobby Riggs, the country’s fourth ranking player, 6—8, 6—4, 6—3. After taking the first set. Welsh was only one point from leading 5—2 in the second, but Riggs pulled his service out of the fire in that seventh game and took it and the next three. Mary Cootes, the only local girl entered, bowed to Dorothy Bundy, daughter of the great May Sutton, 6—1, 6—0. e MRS. PRAY SETS RECORD. BIGWIN INN, Ontario, August 4.— Mrs. L. G.

BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EWPORT, R. I, August 4.— Wild yarns marked a day in which both the defender and the challenger for the Amer- ica’s Cup were in drydock at Bristol being groomed for continuation of the current America's Cup series. From sources close to the challeng- ing party the writer learns that a report that T. O. M. Sopwith had de- cided to yield the helm to another skipper—in other words, to yield com- mand of his sloop to another—is wholly without foundation. He might let Sir Ralph Gore of his afterguard, Capt. Williams aor even Capt. Ned Heard of Endeavour I take the wheel on cer- tain points of sailing, but this would not be startling. As a matter of fact, Harold Vanderbilt let Sherman Hoyt sail Rainbow in the 1934 Cup races whenever the defender of that year carried a Genoa jib. The story that this same Mr. Hoyt might become racing navigator of the present challenger is, upon high authority, insane. He is an Amer- ican citizen and is now broadcasting the series professionally. Fine Point Overlooked. UT here is one fact the writer submits as true: Utterly inade- quate preparation for racing over measured courses accounts for many of the minutes by which the America% Cup challenger Endeavour II trailed the defending sloop Ranger in the two races of the series sailed to date. 8o far as this writer can learn, in all the two months the English sloops were in these waters. only three ap- proximately formal tests were held. In these the new Endeavour won by from five to eight boat lengths, and upon one occasion Endeavour I over- came a long lead by ability to set a spinnaker in 1 minute 53 seconds, whereas the Endeavour II crew con- sumed more than 7 minutes. Feeling certainly exists among cer- tain of the English contingent that the present challenger wasted nearly two months in which she might have been sharpened and sweetened to a point where the two humiliating defeats thus far incurred would have been very much less decisive. The writer learns, however, that even so competent a skipper and judge of boats as Capt Heard does not believe the Endeavour II had it in her to defeat Ranger, how- ever much she had been sharpened Major Leaders By the Associated Press. 8enators, .378; Yankees, 05: Rolte, Runs 'batted in—Greenberg, Tigers, 104: Di Maggio.

Davidson ordered a “thorough investigation” today in the death last night of Johnny Page, Chicago lightweight, 24 hours after he was knocked out by Eddie Zivic. Davidson said a post-mortem would be held and that he would question Zivic, Page's handlers, the examining physicians and ring officials. A brain concussion caused the death of the 22-year-old fighter, who crum- pled under a smashing right to the head in the ninth round of a sched- uled 10-round semi-final match Mon- day night Page, fighting as a substitute for Charley Burns of St. Michaels, Pa., was leading in the fight before he was floored. Assistants carried him to his corner and worked on him for 10 minutes before he was removed to & hospital. Zivic visited Page at the hospital yes- terday. Page transferred his headquarters from Los Angeles to Chicago two weeks ago. He was born in Dallas, Tex., where his mother, Mrs. Minnie Cubley, now resides. had won 13 fights, 8 by knockouts, and had lost 5.

Kept waiting two days for his first-round opponent, Tom Ridge- way of Philadelphia (whom officials kept hoping would show up, but who never did), Hardey awoke yesterday morning to find himself scheduled to play his next-round mateh in the afternoon. To Hardey that meant only one thing—that he must play two important matches in one day, for he previously had been sched- uled to play John Bruns for the lat- ter's sixteenth position on the local Junior Davis Cup ladder. Did Hardey protest to either the Middle Atlantic or J. D. C. com- mittee? He did not. Instead, he went out in the late morning hours to trim Bruns in three tough sets, 3—6, 6—4, 6—4, and then journeyed to Edgemoor in the aft- ernoon to eliminate Jack De Golia in another hard three-setter, 6—1, 4—86, 6—4.
