Cram, ranked ninth among the nation's Juniors players, clearly out played his lanky opponent from start to finish- His eparkling net play and strong forceful back-court driving kept Reese continually on the defensive. Cram detectrd Reese's weak back-hand early and took advantage of this situation, playing to his back-hand at every opportunity. His deadly accuracy In placements also accounted for many points. The match was not without lt tense moments, Reese having set point on Cram In the second set. But Cram, cool and steady as a veteran, pulled out of the hole and then quickly ran out the set.

Again In the third set Reese had a com manding lead having' four games to none due to a temporary let down In the game of the Tennessee youth, but here Cram put oa the pressure and won six straight games in rapid fire order to win the match. By winning the final match in straight sets, Cram kept his slalu clean, not having lost a single set during the tournament. Cram proved to be a popular winner and the nev champion was loudly ac claimed by th large crowd on hand as lie neatly- passed Jtees with a backhand cross-court for match point Hume-Kogg lout In finals of dou bles to Reese and Tumlin of Boys' high, Cram and Malone bowing lit four sets, (-3, -4. 6-3 Tumlin decidedly played, the bfHl game of the four. Reese still ap peared nonchalant and careless Malone probably played the best game of his career, volleying and smashing with unerring accuracy although he had trouble with hi service.

Cram looked weary after his 13 sets of match play yesterday. He only showed flashes of good tennis- HEMSLEY. SUSPENDED NEW YORK. May 13.

The Marines did all their scoring In two innings, counting three times in the second frame, when they drove Truett Sewell from the mound, and then added their other trio of markers In the sixth stanza off Pearce, to bring their total to a half-dozen. Those Vols scored one run In the fifth inning, and then had their big time in the eighth when they came within one run of tying the count. After Owens got the Vols out In the eighth.

A man is on first and tha batter hits a clean single over third. The fielder threw the runner out at second. Does he get credit for a hit or not? Please publish the answer in your Bunker and Blescher column. WAYNESBORO FAN. It is a fielder's choice.

No batter can be credited with a hit when the runner at the base ahead of him ia forced no matter how the play is handled. What i you mention is almost identical with the jam in which Country Davis tangled himself when he neglected to touch second and robbed John Chapman of a base hit to right field Joe Engel, having frolicked around with girl pitchers and indulged in similar prankish performances, is beginning to get serious about this baseball business. Of course his base-ballers have not begun to grow eerious. But the Lookout leader, having had his little joke, is ready to throw hia funny paper away and read deeper literature. But his chattels persist in behaving like clowns.

Msybe that's because Joe Engel set 'em a bad example when he had Miss Jackie Mitchell pitching to Bab Ruth and Lou Gehrig who according to war correspondents hsd a "heluva tim striking out." Any how Jo Engel and Bert Niehoff are taking the Lookouts apsrt to see why they do not tick. They shipped Cliff McSwein back to Boston. Washington claimed Russell Scarritt on waivers snd then tossed him to Chattanooga. And ReJ Wingo, one a Detroit thumper, ia coming along to add mora artillery fire. They ar hunting a first( sscker ta raplac the weak walloping Hnrley Boss.

There's a loud -yjp for some maskman to take over the chores of ths heavy hoofed Eddie Kenna. Turpin. a new shsrpshooter, is en rout with hurling help. There's some response to the SOS but the distress signal still flies in Chattanooga. It's flving in Sulphur Dell too.

Those Vols need a shortstop and some slabbers. But some how or other no progress is beinq made in upholstsring the raveled situation. Plenty of thinge may be ssid in jest concerning this nocturnal baseball theory, but diamond moguls apparently regard aftar-supper engagements as a serious enterprise. Twelve months ago only two ball lots in the nstion were illuminated-Now the arcs blaz In mor than 60 pastures. Independence, gsve birth to the idea of finding a substitute for the sun.

Des Moines next turned on the switch. Now in every coast park the owla and bats and. baseballers hobnob together. Half the Texas loop is lighted. Same thing is tru in Dixis.

You can hardly eonclude that the night baseball idea has bogged down. It'e become an eoidemio. Personally we never did like epidemics. They make us think of measles and mumps and typhoid fever. But night baseball, like talk about fraud on election day, aeems inevitable.

At least it is in Sulphur Dell, where Those Vols nsxt Monday bsttle with Mobile after dark. if A i I hinrjn I nnnhnmc aruiAVsiau uulJi.lJW av For T.I.A.A. Titlt runcan and Columbia Military Academy have arranged a game for next Tuesday afternoon that Is expected' to decide the Tf I. A. A.

G. A. i 1 Tate School 10 'Morgan f.chool i Montgomery Bell 1 I Morgan School HORN Looks as if Those Vols will be forced to draw straws with four and maybe five other Dixie rivals before they land a shortstopper. At last a quartette of Dixie clubs are poverty stricken in the shortfield. Most folks have been suspecting that aver sines April 15.

A massage to Little Bob Allen yesterday when he inquired concerning a shortsmith confirmed his worst fears. "Three other cluba in your league want that player." the answer said. So maybe the outfit that owns him will raffia him off. Clyde Milan down at Birmingham ought to be satisfied with that jumping jack Senor Shine Cortaxzo. If he isn't he's too hard to pleas.

Harry Strohm certainly isn't trying to improve on Fred icolai at Little Rock. Even the depressed peasants in Chattanooga grin when they think of Wes Kingdon. That shortstopper is the only beacon in a very, very glum infield situation. Mobil has been squswking for a shortfielder since the rag hunt begun. Those Vols have made the welkin ring with yelps for aid between second and third.

They've used everybody there except Earl Smith. It might be a smart move to try the massive maskman. Ht't so wide a baseball could not be hit past him. So thick one certainly couldn't be punched through him. Larry Gilbert has been tinkering with Winegarner and Ouilliber.

There is dissatisfao-tion in Memphis over the performance of Rabbitt Benton. No yelp has been heard from Jonathan Dobbe concerning Jack Ryan, the Holy Cross collegian. But if the gent who sent Bob Allen that -message yesterday is telling the truth the Cracker chieftain is looking for soma one to plug the cavity which Luke Appling left. Tennyrate things have com to such a pass that Those Vol may be forced to wait for Santa Claus to bring them a short-stopper. For most everyone is begging on the ssme side el the street Those Vols walk on.

Dixie that sent forth Travis Jackson, Joe Sewetl, Buddy Myer and similar shortstopping luminaries is very, very dark around the shortfield just now. No scouts ar staying up nights gathering data on Sunland shortstops. Kentucky Derby winners have snt plenty of sons to the rsees but no on hss ever sent a son wi ciuld finish first. It comes to pass thst Boys Howdy has a chance to put nw hoof chapter in the Derby records. If the Hatch horse should win old Bubbling Over can claim the distinction of being the first to Send forth son who could do what hi father did.

Bubbling Over in 192S led his stable mate, Bag-genbagge, to the wire and gave Col. E. R. Bradley the second one-two win since Aris-tidss won the first Derby back In 1875. Plenty of experts insist thst Boys Howdy will not stsrt.

But if ha should and should he win, he will be the first son to achieve tjie feat his sire attained. For no winner ever had a on who could win the most coveted turf prize on this continent. Ther ar richer trophies to be sure. The plum at Aqua Calient Is mor luscious. The ahawer of gold falls longer at Washington Park for the winner.

But there is an intangible lure attached to this Kentucky Derby which makes all the ether turf rewards shrivel. MRS. J. J. SANDERS WINS II II Al I.
