With two down in the open- ing round the Griffs loaded the bases on Newsom. This was a feat which | required patience, chiefly, for Buck was pretty wild. He walked Cecil | Travis, pitched a scratch single to Jonathan Stone and finally walked Joe Kuhel. This brought up Buddy Myer and to the groans of the trade the second baseman merely lifted a high fly to Mills. But the fly-chaser, after following the ball until it was almost in his mitt, suddenly seemed to lose it in | the sun.

J, August 14— Five world speed records were created today at the national sweepstakes regatta, where 57-year-old Jack Cooper of Kansas City, Mo, carried off premier honors as thousands of spectators lined the picturesque North Shrewsbury course, Cooper, wealthy operator of an automobile transporting business, broke the accepted 5-mile standard in winning the feature race for boats of 225-cublc inch displacement. The diminutive pilot, who has been racing for only five years, roared to victory in his Tops II in the first and second heats, being clocked each time in record-breaking fashion. In the final heat Cooper was off to a slow start and lost by a half-boat length to Gray Goose, driven by Hugh E. Gingras of Rockledge, Fla. Gray Goose Twice Trails. RAY GOOSE trailed the Cooper speedster across the finish line in the first two heats. Cooper was timed in 4:49%5 in the first heat, when his speed was 62.155 miles an hour, while in the second heat he slid in in 4:4445 with an average of 63.202 miles an hour. The previous record for "25 hydroplanes was 59.172 miles an | hour, set last vear in Florida by Dr. R. H. Hermann of Cincinnati in his Black Imp IL The prevailing mark for class D inboards twice was lowered in the class C-D race when Joe-Don, Joseph Monigle's’ entry from Wilmington, Del, won in atraight heats. He was Records Crash In Red Bank Speedboat Races clocked in 6:52.2 in the second heat, the official speed being 43.646 miles an hour. The previous mark, set by George Ward, also of Wilmington, was 43.041. ‘Ward did some record smashing of his own in the class E inboard event, loweripg his own previous record. He was timed in the first heat at 5:49.3 with an official speed of 51.487 miles an hour. His previous standard cre- ated here last year was 50.251 mllet an hour. 8. Mortimer Auerbach of Atlantic City captured the first heat of the race for 135-cubic inch hydroplanes, driving his Emancipator VI at a speed of 50.167 miles an hour, which was 039 miles faster than his own pre- vious mark, Fonda Sets Record. 'HE fifth record was created in the class C amateur outboard race with 52.770 miles an hour by Douglas Fonda of Orange, N. J. In the first heat a standard of 52.755 was made by Clinton Ferguson of Waban, Mass. Although Ferguson saw himself de- prived of the record in the following heat, he had the consolation of win- ning the race from Fonda on an elapsed time basis. Gar Wood, holder of the famous. Harmsworth Trophy, landed his am- phibian plane in the river just in time to see his son, Gar, Jr., win the open- ing race for class A amateur out- boards. Wood split two heats with Tommy Tyson, intercollegiate cham- pion from Stevens Tech, but won the first prize through an elapsed time average.

HILADELPHIA, Aug. 14— Those astonishing Athletics, | staggering along in the Amer- | ican League cellar, made easy meat of the pace-setting New York Yankees for the second straight day today. Demonstrating the proof in the argument that there’s no comeback for a home run, the no-longer apathetic Athletics beat the New York swat squad at its own game, 12 to 6.

Y, August 14 —Jadwiga (Yajah) Jedrzejowska, Pol- and’s tennis queen, won the women's Eastern grass court tennis championship today by defeat« ing Alice Marble of San Franciseo, the American champion, for ths fourth time this year. The acores were 7—5, 6—4. Bobby Riggs, 19-year-old Hollywood, Calif., star who failed to make the Davis Cup team last Spring, earned the right to play Frankie Parker of Milwaukee and New York, one of the successful Davis Cup candidates, the men’'s singles final. Riges, na- tional clay court champion, was seeded third and Parker first in th tournament. Riggs had to go five sets to turn back Joe Hunt of Los Angeles, new national junior champion and Bobby's leading rival in early-Summer tourna- ments, 6—3, 4—6, 6—4. 3—6, 6—3. Parker had just as stiff a struggle with Francis X. Shields, former Davis Cupper and now a movie actor. They battled nearly two hours before Parker won, 12—10, 1—6, 6—4, 6—3 A gallery of more than 3,000, the largest in the history of the tourn ment, jammed the stands and ove flowed onto the grass around the courts, Alice Marble Outsteadied. l\llss JEDRZEJOWSKA, who beat the American champion three times in England this Spring. but lost to her two weeks ago at Sea Bright, N. J., outsteadied Miss Marble in the women’s final Her forehand lacked its usual ter- rific pace as she has not yet become accustomed to the heat of August in America, but she was superbly ac- curate and had an excellent change of pace. The Polish girl rarely attempted to take the net and nearly every time Miss Marble came in she was passed. Service was broken seven times in the first set as Jadwiga came from 1—3 to tie at 4 all, then broke through to lead 5—4. Miss Marble prolonged the match with a service break as Yajah double-faulted at set point. Mis Jedrzejowska went to deuce five times against Miss Marble's serv- ice to win the next game, then easily ran out the set. She was forced to rally again from 2—4 in the second set, but won with comparative ease. Riggs-Hunt Match Furious. RXGGS and Hunt put on a battle in which the former's court-covering ability was the deciding factor. Bobby slowed his pace after winning the first set. He dropped the second. He was unable to withstand Hunt's rally, which tied the match again the fourth set, but when the chips were down he ran the Los Angeles youngster ragged to take the fifth and the match. Shields, who has been absent from | the Eastern tournament circuit for two years, weakened after a fine start ‘ Errors cost him the long first set, but he looked very good in the second when he had Parker on the run. From there on, however, he was wild, losing many points by overdriving the base- line, Reach Finals in Doubles.
