PLAY HALTED Bill Henry Says STOEFEN, ALL ISQN EVEN AS BOTH PLAYERS Bambino Ruth FnJr nnrl Fnt ITS ADMISSION DAY. But the conductor of this column refuses to admit, upon advice of counsel, that last week's mail brought more "pan" than fan letters. And the ratio. This conductor does admit, however, that having reached the end of the line, that the old noggin's nodding. So while, what some laughingly refer to as the brain, is being recharged let the others carry on.

MONDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 10, 1934. Why, Mr. Gudat, Stealing on Sunday! SERAPHS, SACS SPLIT PAIR ON LEUVELT DAY Statz Pokes Six Straight Hits BY BOB RAY If you'd ask me, "Jack Lelivelt Day" was a complete success out at Wrigley Field yesterday afternoon. Skipper Lelivelt got so many fine presents that he really didn't feel downcast at all because his Angels only won one game from Sacramento in the bargain bill, because, after all, the Senators should have received something for their nineteen innings of effort. The Angels presented their popular boss with a 12-to-5 triumph in the opener, but the Senators came back to capture the thrilling nightcap, 5 to 1, after a brilliant ten-inning hurling duel between Paul Gregory and the unfortunate "Swlfty" Garland.

TRIBUTE TO LELIVELT Some 12,000 fans, Including people from all walks of life, were on hand to pay tribute to Skipper Lelivelt, who has won over a tremendous following since taking charge of the Angels back in 1929. And considering the fact that there would have been only about 2500 customers had it not been "Lelivelt Day," it was quite a boost to the popularity of the Seraph skipper.

(Exclusive) Babe Ruth, whose farewell tour was marred here today by a Charley horse in his left thigh, has learned that he is a year younger than he thought he was. Instead of being 40, he' is only 39. Ruth did not announce this discovery, but he acknowledged It when asked about it. It seems that his sister, Mrs. Mary Moberly, sent him recently a photostatic copy of his birth certificate.

This document is alleged to show that George Herman Ruth was born in Baltimore on February 6. 1895, instead of February 7, 1894, the date general accepted as the birthday of Ruth. ROWE COLLECTS OVERTIME TILT FROM RED SOX Schoolboy Wins in Ten Innings DETROIT, Sept. 9. UP) It took Lynwood (Schoolboy) Rowe and the rest of the Tigers ten innings to squelch the stubborn resistance of the Boston Red Sox and gain a 5-to-4 decision in the series opener here today.

With 28,000 fans cheering him on, the Schooboy came- through with his twenty-second victory of the season. It was his second victory since the Athletics snapped his string of sixteen consecutive triumphs in Philadelphia. TIGERS OUTHIT The Red Sox got eleven hits off Rowe, one more than the Tigers were able to collect off Welch. Detroit, however, packed most of its punch into a big fourth inning during which four runs were scored. The Tigers moved into the fourth with Boston leading, 3 to 0, by virtue of runs scored in the first, second and fourth frames.

Goslln opened the rally a double, Ro-gell and Greenberg contributed singles, Walker was safe on Lary's fumble. White walked and Cochrane completed the work with a single. SINGLE DOES IT The Red Sox tied the score in the ninth after Bishop had walked and then had been forced at second by Werber. The latter scored on Al-' mada's double. The winning run was pushed over in the tenth through the combined efforts of Hank Greenberg and Charley Gehringcr.

Draw for the 1934 National Amateur Golf Championship starting here tomorrow finally came from the sacrosanct committee room of the U.S.G.A. I tonight find while it was announced as "a blind selection." the brackets were almost perfectlv balanced. The outstanding feature was found in the lower quarter of the brackets where are the names of the favorite, Lawson Little of San Francisco, and George Dunlap of New York, defending champion. They could meet in the quarter-final round, STARS LOCATED By quarters the ace players are located as follows: First quarter Former Champion of Chicago.

Rubin came through wlm his customary share of laughs.

Among those present were Joe E. Brown, George Raft, Joe (Wanna Buy a Duck) Pennrr and Harry Rubey, not to mention such famous gridiron personalities of Howard Jones, Southern California; Bill Spaulding, U.C.L.A.; Tom Lieb, Loyola, and Tiny Thornhill, Stanford. BUI Lane, owner of the Hollywood Sheiks, also occupied his box seat for the first time this year since he suffered that heart attack, and he said he came out Just because it was "Lelivelt Day." QUITE A PROGRAM It was quite a program, with the Angel skipper getting a whole truckload of presents. In fact, Jack got enough gifts to fill his house, and a dog house, for one of the presents was a Pekingese pup, which Rubin confidently announced could "do tricks." One of Lelivelt's best presents was a contract tc manage the Angels in 1935, and he promptly borrowed Prexy Dave Fleming's fountain pen, with which to sign it. He also received a beautiful wrist watch from the Los Angeles club owners, a hadsome wardrobe trunk from the Angel ball players and hundreds of other gifts from well-wishing admirers.

Even the "gentlemen" of the press box, the cheap so-and-soes, kicked through with a present. As Jack said after tha affair. "If day that I'll never forget and al- ways remember as one of the hiir- gest moments of my life." JIGGER STEALS SHOW But getting back to the ball i games, Jigger Statz apparently thought it was "Statz day" in the opener for the popular Angel center fielder slammed out four singles and two doubles for six straight hits, stole his forty-second base of the season, and handled the phenomenal total of ten putouts in the outer (garden.

9. The Men's National Tennis Championship, already reduced to a hodgepodge. by the rain, was further scrambled today when those arch enemies, Lester Stoefen of California and Wilmer Allison of Texas, battled until darkness without reaching a decision in their quarter-final match. When night came, and it was no longer possible to see the flying ball, the score was tied at two sets all. Allison took the first set, 8-6, dropped the second, 4-6, captured the brilliant third, 11-9, but was outgamed in the fourth, 6-8.

When officials called a halt the players, backed by the crowd of nearly argued loud and long for a continuation, but the officials would not listen. CONTINUE TODAY The match will be finished tomorrow as part of the program which calls for the three other quarter-final duels. In these Fred Perry will play Clifford Sutter; Sidney Wood will engage Frankia Parker. Perry and Sutter were scheduled to go on today after Stoefen and Allison. Vernon Kirby will play Frank Shields.

Kirby and Parker, who have been a step behind the field since the first postponement on Monday, caught up today with sound victories. Kirby, after a shaky start, eliminated the red-haired Coast youngster, Donald Budge, 4-6. 6-4. 6-4, 6-4, while Parker, playing the finest tennis of his short but sensational career, defeated the giant Czecho-Slovakian alternation-alist, Roderich Menzel, 3-6. 7-5, 6-3, 6-2 SENSATIONAL PLAY Allison and Stoefen played for nearly three hours, and in that time they produced as sensational tennis as the west side courts have seen in years.

The entire match was played at a furious tempo, with both men scorning caution and hitting out with all their strength on every shot, and always electing to make shot the hardest way. But standine out above the qual ity of tennis was the courage of Stoefen. Not in the best of conditionhe was breathing heavily and leaning on his racket as early as the first set the big Californian refused to quit. Refused even in the fourth set when, trailing, 2-5, he seemed hopelessly out of it. With Allison but two points away from victory In the eighth game, Lester gathered up the bits of his shattered game, summoned his faillnj strength, and began to "come to town." CROWD HYSTERICAL As the gallery thundered applause, Stoefen blazed forehand placements down the line, leaping high in the air for paralyzing kills, lashed backhand passing shots from all angles, and volleyed from up close like a madman.

When he broken Allison in the thirteenth game to lead. 7-6, the crowd was nearly hysterical. When he on the fourteenth with a terrific service ace that bounded high Into the hands, the customers roared like a fight crowd. Runyan Loses to Laffoon in Golf Play-off GLENS FALLS (N. Sept.

Times have changed. If you'll go out the Oounty Fair meeting at Pomona next Saturday you'll notice that the New Deal has even struck county fair racing. Big league stuff this sixteen-day meeting. Thousands were thrilled when Marceita won the inaugual at Agua Caliente last year Marceita will run at Pomona. Recall Bonny Grafton? Sure, the same filly that was for a time figured to win the 1934 Agua Caliente Handicap, but didn't.

Bonny Orafton will also be a contender for the County Fair purses. YouH recognize plenty of names of horses that galloped at the border and at Tanforan. Class, too. Trotting and pacing men will also be in the spotlight. It's a fast track they have out at Pomona and some new records will likely be written into the books in both the harness and flat races.

The County Fair's gone modern. You can't hitch up or Dobbin Just step on the starter. Off to the County Fair! GERALD PIDGE DONT COUNT OUT THE EAST YET Dear Bill: Bee where everybody is picking the West to trounce the East at polo next week at Meadowbrook, Just like everybody was picking the East to knock the West's ears down At Chicago a year ago. But don't be too sure. Of course, the West should win.

And handily, too. Dont count tht East out yet, though. The team is young, light and fast and backed by some of the finest brains in polo. EDWARD LAWRENCE. SO, YOU'RE A TOAST-MAKER, Hl'Il?
