Forman made a strong effort to sign i something suitable for the coming regular fight night, but trips i to San Francisco, Sacramento, Stockton and San Jose were tin- tmXmL i fRS. GEORGE WIGHT MAN, a stickler for proper footwork in tennis, relate a bit of personal attention to the Klay df Mrs. Helen Wills tooiy that helped to improve the game of that star.

Mr. Moody, then Miss Wills, was visit ing the former champion at her home in Brookline, Mass. Helen, up to that time, had played flat-' footed for the most part, not hav-' ypg discovered that she could control the body balance and make her masterful shots while poised on the balls of her feet. During the visit Miss Wills tripped downstairs, a trifle heavily, one would infer. "Turn around and let's see you eome downstairs on your toes," Mrs.

Wightman commanded. Helen obeyed. "Now that," the 1909 cham-pon commented, "is the "way you should play tennis." Remember Mrs. Moody the last time she played at Berkeley? She played mixed doubles, and if ever a net star waj "on her toes," Mrs. Moody was that day.

After visiting friends a few days Madigan will circle the lake, he said, pick out a quiet resort, and spend the remainder of the time there.

"All the teams Much of the credit for the brilliant pitching of Vernon "Lefty" Gomez, former Rodeo player, is given to his wife, former mtnical comedy star. Mr.

Rattan's Thirtieth Infantry of the San Francisco Presidio, a new parade of entrants for the Slate semi-pro baseball championship was under way yesterday and promised to continue until 6 o'clock tomorrow evening, the deadline to enter the The event will be the second of its kind staged by The Tribune with the assistance of the Eastbay Unit of the California Baseball Managers' Association. At the rate entries are arriving, it Is expected that a record number of teams will have made application bv the dead line time to be considered for places among the 24 starters who are to get under way at the Oakland Coast League park Tues-'day evening, July 31st.

The soldiers, who provided plenty of color to the opening events last year with their bad and scrappy ball team, had their application in bright and early yesterday morning with Associated Flying A's of Avon, Tacoma Beer and Durkee Famous Foods following close behind. STRONG NINES ENTER During the afternoon Elmer Coleman filed the entry of New World Life, and J. J. Freitas, business manager for the California Wire Cloth nine, also handed in an entry with the reminder that he led the Silva Grocery -team when it copped fifth place money in the first tournament last year. The Veterans of Foreign Wars N.

999 of Oakland signified their intention of entering by posting $50 forfeit money, and will submif their list of players before the time limit is up tomorrow night. From Crockett, Frank Kelly sent word that he has placed a list of players and a forfeit check in the mail for the California and Hawaiian team of that city. So it is evident that the tournament committee, of which Charles Tye, Otto Egenhergcr, Vie Devinceml, Francis II. Woodward, Steve Graham and Art Mary are members, will face a problem In trying to decide which teams to qualify. Tye, who has been working day and night boosting HID IUUI llttlUCIll, wiiu.u ww started last year at his suggestion, claims that there will be at least 10 more entries on hand by tomorrow night to make the list much bigger than that of last year.

Any team In the State is eligible to make application. One of the Important rules managers must not overlook when making application is that all 11 players, whose names are submitted on the entry blank, must have been members of the team since June 10! A check or cash amounting to $50 must be turned in with the application to guarantee that the team will appear for all games scheduled. Remember, the deadline 6 o'clock tomorrow niKht, so get busy now if you intend to enter your team. VETERAN TEAM ENTERS Associated batted its way to the semi-final last year arid, with 11 pf the players from that team listed among the 14 submitted yesterday by Manager Al Engman, these athletes from Avon will be among the favorites to cop this year's top money. Since the start of their 1934 season, the AA's have played 25 games, winning 19, losing 5 and tying 1, Thugs last win was over Union Oil in the Contra Costa Refinery League, 2 to 1.

Al McCoy, the hard-hitting outfielder, who slugged the ball for a .462 average In seven tourney games last year, will be on the job again, as win R. S. Williams, another outfielder, who hit .333 In the tourney and Is now the leading hitter for Summer play with an average of .400.

New members are Pitchers Ken Slater and Elmer Musrhert and Johnny third sacker.

The California Wire Cloth team will be practically the same as the nine that recently cinched fiiv.t place in Division II of the Oakland Industrial Athletic Association tournament under the leadership of George Skarirh, giant, first sacker. It is composed of Pitchers Norman Riggs and Ellsworth "Gunny" Fa-gundas, Catcher Ike Cherncy, Outfielders Joe Corbclli, George Amador; O. Moore and Joe Silva and In-ficldcrs Joe A. Silva, Tony Rinella, Roy SteenRrafe and Skarich. The latter intends to sign several other players.

They are Pitchers Tim Kline and Ivan Huffman, Outfielder Bill Jones and Shortstop Loren Gilbert.

Another new world's record came in the 400-meter hurdle rare when Glenn Hardin, Louisiana State's slim star, won that event in 51.8 seconds, clipping two-tenths of a second off the mark held by Morgan Taylor and himself. Percy Beard, New York A. tied the recognized world's mark of 14.4 second in winning his heat of the 110-meter hurdles but hit a hurdle and broke his stride In the final and just managed to win in 14.6 seconds. Johnny Morris, defending champion, in the event was eliminated in a trial when he hit a hurdle and fell. "Blazing Ben" Eastman, former Stanford star who was competing for the Olympic Club, had a world record in the, 890 meters within his reach until he faded badly in the home stretch and finished in 1 minute, 50.4 sccor ds, a new American mark.

L. T. according to "Pop" Fuller, nd Northern California Association officers are considering what their recommendations will be. argument is that big players Ire given an unfair advantage, In that they can take a chance on the first service and put all their 1: itrength into it, whereas the smaller player hasn't such an opportunity. Another argument is that the double chance to wham across a cannonball service gives the server too great an advantage over the man across the net, allowing the gerver to rush the net at little risk.

COMPENSATION for physical advantage of an opponent Is contrary to the Ideas of of any sport, however. The big fellow, naturally endowed with an advantage, keeps that edge. If another is small he serkft a sport in which sise makes less1 difference, or does the best he can gainst ail comers. Ray Jones, writing in Esquire, points out that tennis never has undergone the discussion of rules that football and other sports have, but that the matter of eliml- Bating, one service has bobbed up at intervals, Maurice McLoughlln was the first to develop a net game, where the style formerly had been to engage in base-fine duals. In rushing the net a fast service is all important.

Hamman had a more difficult match, but subdued Ross McDadc of Shreveport, 5 and 3. STRENUOUS EVENT It was a strenuous battle the Oma-han and the Wacoan waged to the finals, a battle that left some of the nation's most celebrated amateurs on the sidelines. Goodman eliminated M.

L. Mas-senRill, Fort Worth; Fred Odom, New Orleans; Wilson Schoellkopf, Dallas, and Connor Hamman defeated Edwin McClure, Shreveport; "Spec" Stewart, Albuquer- Kque; Hara Watts, Dallas, and McDade. Among the other stars who dropped cut of the picture before the semifinal rounds- were Gus Moreland, Dallas, defending champion who failed to qualify; Lawson Little, San Francisco, recent winnar of the British amateur and prc-tournament favorite; Johnny Dawson. Chicago internationalist, and Zell F.alon, Oklahoma City. FLAWLESS GOLF Goodman started out with a rush in the morning round today and at the turn was five up on his Dallas opponent.

He played faultless golf and negotiated the first nine in 34, one under par. Connor was nervous. It was his first big tournament. He was bothered by the gallery, and his woods and putter refused to click properly. At the end of the round Goodman had increased his lead to six up.

He came'home in 3(i strokes, to give him. an even par card of 70. Connor had a i 81 for the 'IB: Hamman was out in 3f! and at the turn held a two up lead over McDade. The Wacoan gained a hole on the homeward jaunt and had a card 72 while McDade had a 70.

Hv II McT.KMORE T'nilcd Press Staff Correspondent WIMBLEDON, June 30.

't Less than a year ago Fred Perry, in an interview with New York tennis writers, emphatically denied professionalism offered any ternptations for him. Perhaps the world's number one player and mainstay of Great Britain's Davis Cup team still feels the same way, but you'd never guess it from his book, "My Story," which was published recently. I Perry makes such a strong case for professionalism that readers are justified in reading between the i lines and draw their own conclu- 1 swns as to his future particularly if he happens to win at Wimbledon and in the cup matches, thus clearly establishing himself as the world'l ranking performer. Listen to these paragraphs: "They (tennis amateurs) (rain from it every material advantage, except money. (The two are italicized).

"The exception Is Important thouph money in abundance li paid by the public to see them performing. "They know that If their form falls below standard they will b. dropped. They realize even mors that at five-and-thirty they will be finished anyhow; then, what will happen to them? "Is it any wonder that when the chance comes to join the 'Tilden Troupe' some of them take It? "Can they he blamed for turning their tennis activities into cash now, while youth remains?" Continuing, Perry comes to th support off -pen tournaments in which Ihe world's best, be they amateur or professionals, would compete. "The big championship of the world are no longer fully representative of the world's best tennis.

"The result will inevitably a loss in public interest. The championships will no longer re-veal a champion. Merely an amaJ tuer champion." Kngland's number one is of th opinion that tcnnin needs a good housecleauing: that it's difficult now to tell where amateurism leaves off and. professionalism begins. CHANGE IS I RC-KD "Either let tennis revert to its old pleasant position as a spare time occupation." he says, "with less efficiency, but no less fun; or let the nations' rackets, whether plied by amateur or prolossinnal, follow the sun increasingly from continent to continent.

There is no effective middle course. Under the first procedure amateurism can maintain its hold on lawn tennis: under the second professionalism will inevitably be encouraged whatever the tennis legislators of the world think about it." Asked point blank what his plain were, Perry's unsatisfying answer was: "Who knows?" San Leandro and Verdis to Tangle Among the feature events in local semi-nro baseball circles tomorrow will be the clash at the San Leandro ball park between the San Franeisco Verdis and San Leandro Merchants. Both teams got off to a good start in the first round games last Sundav. "Lefty" I'aldcra will be the pitcher for the Cherry Pickers although he was driven to the showers last Sunday when Art Kardoza stepped in lo save the game. Stanley Botto, who hurled a six-hit game to win last Sunday, will work for Verdis.

M. B. Koffee Kids, champions of the first half, will travel to San Mateo in hopes of scoring their second win in the last half, at the expense of the San Mateo Blues. Guido Simoni, pitching ace nf the leacue will work for the Koffee Kids, with "Pudgy" Gould opposing him. The San Bees will desert their home lot to play the Reds at Modesto while BBiniingame will shift to Stockton to play the Am-blei Club.

"Often it takes months to bring a fighter out of the preliminary class into the main event division, and of a half dozen youngsters apparently headed for good things usually only one or two finally reaches the peak," Forman pointed out.

"By the end of the year there should be a few local fighters who will stick out from the crowd. If only I could develop another Jimmy Duffy, a Frankie Burns, a Jimmy Dundee or a 'Battling' Ortega I'd be sitting on the world." This much must be said in For-man's favor: He is showing comparatively regularly, he Isn't los-' ing money, his shows are good entertainment for the price and he's giving boxers the opportunity to make a few dollars. OK Bernal wants another chance. The hard hitting welterweight, who suffered a loss of prestige by permitting Sammy Mandell, warworn ex-lighlweight champion, to stay six rounds the other evening, has declared he went into actjon with an injured foot, that it was only his second fight in almost a year and that he suffered a slight attack of fright. Joe was broken up over his performance.

He admitted that he wasn't impressive and asserted he is capable of a far better exhibition Of boxing and punching.

STOREY VICTOR IN NORTHWEST SPOKANE, June 30.

(U.R) Kenney Storey, Spokane's 2H-year-J oia uiiK.s siar, won me Jim racmc Northwest amateur golf championship by defeating Ralph Whaley. Seattle, 9 and 8, while an excited crowd of approximately 1000 fans cheered here this aflernoOn. The mighty mite of a golfer weighed in at only 132 pounds but. like Davjd of old. cut down his opponent, who stands 6 feet, 4 inches and tips the scales at 203 pounds.

It was evident Storey would win when he went to lunch with a five-hole lead, after shooting one under lar, 71, to Whaley's 77. Marion MrDougall, young Wav-erly Country Club player of Portland, captured the Pacific Northwest women's title with an 8 to 7 victory over Mrs. Dun Seott of Itninci Ion. The Portland girl has been I iiniHT-iip at many toiu namenls and was favored to win this year's title as early as last Monday when she won the medalist trophy. She was too strong off the tee and loo steady around the greens for Mrs.

Scott, who was playing her first major tournament. At the twenty-seventh Miss Me-Dougall was seven up and went dormie eight when she got her par on Ihe twenty-eighth to Mrs. Scott's four. The end came on the next hole, which they halved in par fives. The fairways resounded with cheers when Mrs.

Scott, game and courageous, greeted the new champion. Both were tired, for the day was hot, and the steady 18-hole matches daily had sapped their vitality. Even though defeated Whaley found glory enough in his feat ot going lo the finals and eliminating Don Moe, Portland, former Walker cup player, 3 and 1, in the semifinals. He entered the tournament for the pleasure of playing and admitted that his golf is not the type that ordinarily would beat Moe. Strength Added To Gael Team Strengthened by the addition of two seasoned players.

Oiscen Dineen, a simon-pure Gael, will do the clouting at the right-forward post, while Ev Pendleton, an end on the football varsity, will start at the opposite corner.

Jerry Kelly, Mike Casey and John Madigan are Clare's leading scoring threats. The Mary's-Clare game will start at 2 o'clock and will be followed by a senior Irish football game involving teams from Con-naught and Cork.

Discussing the possiole entry of a Los Angeles team in The Tribune semi-pro baseball tourney, Charlie Tye, secretary of the Eastbay Unit of the managers association laughe-i at the idea that the southern team might carry away the State title.
