Plays If the Citizens have a breakfast of liven and onions today it is possible that they may be able to win from the Indianapolis Sterlings at McCulloch Park some time after 2:45 o'clock this afternoon.

After a sad series of losses this sea' son. the Cits a few weeks ago devel oped remarkable defense strength showing an ability to take punishment in the pinches and still come back. Although Indianapolis has two wins 15 to 1 and 9 to 6 against the local lads, it may be that this new-found spirit will take the Cits out of the red. Lineup Changed. There will be a few changes in the local lineup, including the probable addition of "Lefty" Lee.

a newcomer to these parts, but reported as a .500 hitter. In the event that Lee cannot appear, Harper, a local product, will take over left field. The visitors were trying last night to sign Miller, an outfielder and consistent scorer, from the deceased Richmond club. Should they do so he would be a threat to the Muncie chpnees. The local jyeup will be headed by Hal Walker or Brown on the mound.

with Smith or Moore catching, sur rounded by Dettman, first; Sellars, second; Maple, third; Adams, right; Whit worth, center; Lee or Harper, left, and Hall, shortstop. Eddie Dyer, former performer in left field has been suspended by Manager Bill Stethan. Dyer and police couldn't agree, it seemed. The visitors will take the field as follows: Babcock, shortstop; SeaL third base; Sigler, left field; Russell, first base; Drissell, right field; Tobin or Powers, center field; Martin, second base; FornelL catcher, and Paugh or Twigz, pitcher.

Forest Hills, N. Aug. 17 (JP) Executing a swift, sensational reversal of form, America's women tennis stars rallied to sweep the last three singles matches of the Wightman Cup tennis series with Great Britain today and keep possession of ths international trophy for the fifth straight year. The heroine of America's uphill fight to victory on the turf courts of the west side stadium was a Califor nia hall-players wife, Ethel Burk hardt Arnold, who capped the climax of her debut in Wightman Cup com petition by conquering the redoubt able Katherine (Kay) Stammers, crack English southpaw, in the de ciding match. Victor Conceded Little Chance.

Conceded little chance of upsetting her brilliant young rival today, Mrs. Arnold gave a superb exhibition of fighting spirit and shot making skill to capture a thrilling match by scores of 6-2, 1-6, 6-3. The British entered the final half of the series leading 2-1, the result of two stunning singles decisions yes terday, only to have the cup defenders settle the issue with three consecutive victories. It was just as well, for the sake of this country's supremacy in women's tennis, that Mrs. Arnold came through.

The pressure was off there after, but the British doubles team of Evelyn Dearman and Nancy Lyle nevertheless rallied to beat Carolin Babcock and Dorothy Andrus, Amer ican pair, in the seventh and final match, 3-6, 6-4. 6-1. The final score, 4 to 3. as the United States emerged triumphant for the ninth time in thirteen years of com petition for the wightman Cup. Doubles Team Wins.

Sarah Palfrey Fabyan of Boston and Helen Jacobs, three time American singles champion, paved the way for Mrs. Arnold's decisive conquest. To gether they scored America's first point by winning the doubles yesterday after Miss Jacobs had yielded to the fiery stroking of Miss Stammers in a singles upset. Today Mrs. Fabyan returned to the courts to trounce Phyllis Mudford King, 6-0, 6-3 and square the count, after which Miss Jacobs put the United States in front with a brilliant 6-3, 6-2 triumph over Miss Round.

Mrs. Arnold's steadiness of her unorthodox and seemingly awkward backhand was the decisive factor as she outplayed her young English rival in the first set and came back brilliantly in the third after having her advantage wiped out. Miss Stammers turned the tide with blistering drivers in the second set, playing with the same dash that carried her to triumph over Miss Jacobs yesterday, but she failed to sustain the pace. Jacobs Routs Miss Round. After Mrs.

Fabyan disposed of Mrs. Mudford with a sparkling exhibition, featured by the Boston girl's sharply angled placements. Miss Jacobs turned the days heralded feature encounter into a rout. The American champion apparently has the "Indian sign" on Miss Round. She scored her fourth consecutive straight-set victory over the English No.

1 player in Wightman Cup competition with startling ease Miss Jacobs took the first five games of the opening set and never thereafter was in danger despite the severity with which Miss Round lashed out on nearly every return. Louis' Dead Pan Is No Pose; He's A -Concentrating Detroit, Aug. 17 Joe Louis, called by some experts the best heavyweight since Jack Dempsey came out of the West, is deadly serious about his ability to whip anyone he steps into the ring against. Tile 20-year-old Negro's "dead pan" in the ring isn't a pose he's concentrating! He's a serious minded youth out of the ring, extremely bashful when queried about his success. Perhaps that's why his manager, John Roxborough, finds it so easy to manage him.

Joe likes to dance, but if dancing interferes with his sleep, especially when he's in training for a fight, then dancing is "out." He usually gets to bed at 10 o'clock, and just before a fight he retires at 8:30 or 9 o'clock. Joe does just what he's told. Roxborough, a Negro attorney who took an interest in Joe when he saw him fight in his amateur days and bought him his first ring outfit, has Joe live in his apartment.

ACMES WILL OPPOSE MACE'S OF ANDERSON IN SECTIONAL FINALS Brilliant pitching by Bus Cole in the four games played by the Acme Machine Products Company in the Delaware-Madison section of the state Softball tournament means that the Acme team will oppose Mace's of Anderson in the final game at 2:30 o'clock at Athletic Park in that city. In all, Cole has permitted his opponents only three runs, less than one run a game. His air tight pitching yesterday, backed up by the smooth playing of his team mates, enabled Acme to defeat Vance of Anderson 7 to 2 in the morning and Ball Shippers 4 to 0 in the semi-finals of the afternoon. Ball Shippers earned the right to compete in the semi-finals in the morning games by defeating Delco-Remy 9 by the score of 1 to 0 in nine frames. In other games played yesterday morning.

Aug. 17 (JP) South Side high school of this city obtained the services today of Burl Friddle, who has been basketball coach at Washington, since his graduation from Franklin College ten 4 years ago. Friddle produced a state championship team in 1930 and sent teams to the state tournament in four other years during his ten year term at Washington. While in Franklin College he was member of Coach Griz Wagner's famous "Wonder Five." He is a graduate of Franklin high school. BEARCATS TO START FOOTBALL PRACTICE The first official fall practice of the Muncie High School Bearcat football team will be held at the Fieldhouse Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock, according to an announcement made Friday by Coach Walter Fisher.

The opening workout will consist of the usual preliminaries attendant upon the ultimate conditioning of the squad prior to the opening of a stiff schedule which begins within the next month. Track shoes will be used for the opening practice. up advantage, Pettigrew sacrificed a shot to get out of a deep hole at the side of the fairway. Undeterred, he lifted his fourth shot high and set it down two feet from the cup. Simpson's Putter Fails.

Simpson, on the green in three, needed a ten-foot putt to win the hole and square the match. The ball rolled down, rimmed the cup, but went away. Pettigrew ran his putt to halve the hole and win the chapionship. Last week Pettigrew, just a year out of high school, won the Junior title. No other player has held both the Junior and Men's state champion ships.

The championship match was a battle betw een a thirty-eight-year-old player and a boy who could both take it and give it. From four down at the end of thirteen holes of play, Pettigrew fought an uphill battle until he went ahead to stay on the twenty- seventh green. A few minutes later it was Simp son's turn to fight doggedly for every break, for the youngster pounded at him until he had him three down at the end of thirty-two holes of play. Turning on the steam and taking every chance, Simpson at that npint began another of the finishes which marked most of his play here. He won the twenty-third and thirty-fourth and halved the next when a chip shot from just off the green missed the cup for a birdie and a win.

Then came the thrilling last hole finish. Simpson Leads at Halfway. Simpson, bidding for his fourth State Amateur championship, toured the course in par seventy-two in ths morning to be two up on shot a 74. Each had two birdies. In the afternoon four birdies came from the clubs of the new champion between the nineteenth and twenty-seventh holes.

He was 34, two under par, for the nine holes, while Simp son had a 38. On the final nine, Pettigrew shot a 40 for a round in 74, two over par. Simeon's last nine were played in 39 to give him a 78. It was that brilliant quartet of birdies in the first half of the afternoon round which brought victory to Pettigrew, for Simpson won two holes on the last nine and lost one. The others were halved.

Pettigrew has been playing outstanding golf for several years. This was his first Men's State tournament. He got into it by winning the Junior title. The new champion has been working in Anderson. He plans to attend college this fall.

New York, Aug. 17 Those rollicking Cardinals charged through to a 7-3 win over the Giants in the rubber game of their five-set series today and left town for Boston tonight only two games behind the National League pace setters. Ed Heusser, a young right hander who came up from Knoxville via Columbus, held the Giants at bay for the first six innings, but when he showed signs of weakening in the seventh manager Frankie Frisch called on Dizzy Dean, who blanked the Giants with three hits Friday for relief duty. The Great Man turned back the first three Giants to face him with seven pitched balls, but threw a slight scare into the Cardinal camp' in the ninth when he let Mark Koenig, a pinch hitter, nick him for a double with two down and then yielded a single to Harry Danning. However, he braced and cut short the New York rally by whiffing Joe Moore for the third out.

Davis Cup team achieved in the challenge round with England, today out-lasted Frank Shields of New York, for a 6-3, 5-7, 3-6, 8-5, 6-1 victory in the nineteenth Newport Casino invitation singles tennis finale. Shields then teamed with Frankie Parker of Spring Lake, N. and they were out-fumbled by Wilmer Hines of Columbia, S. C. and Henry Culley of Santa Barbara, for the Casino doubles victory, 3-6, 9-11, 6-2, 6-3.

7-5. Unlike the singles play, the close of the doubles competition was crammed with spotty tennis and, unless an immediate improvement sets in. neither team will be much of a factor in next week's National championship play at Brookline, Mass. The deciding series of games were walkaways for Budge, who applied all possible pressure against his heavier but weaker rival. The Californian swept through the first three games, allowed Shields to take the fourth on service, and then put together a second straight trio to end the match and inscribe his name on the famous Casino bowl, as most of the game's outstanding players have done before him.

Budge was 'in splendid form getting underway, and the longer it lasted. the higher he boosted his game TED LUTHER LEADS IN CLEVELAND OPEN Acacia Country Club, Cleveland, Aug. 17 (JP) Ted Luther, of Youngs-town. maintained his lead today in the $3,500 open golf tournament by a single stroke over Henry Picard, of Hershey, Pa. Luther scored 35 and 36 for a 71, two under par, bringing his 36-hole total to 139.

Picard shot a sensational 67, six strokes under par, which gave him a total of 140. Picard was out in 33 and back in 34. Denny Shute, of Chicago, had a 69 today; Clarence Clark, of Bloomfield, N. and Terel Johnson, of Decatur, 111., both of whom had 71's each day, were tied at 142. Babe Ruth turned in an 88.

This is how it works: Use Automobiles. Bookie Joe and a companion park their automobile in the vicinity of their old neighborhood "club" and wait until a familiar figure approaches. He is "nailed" on the spot, takes a peek at the odds and the form sheets and makes his wager.

The bookies continue their tour, stopping here and there to pick up 50 cents or a dollar as a bet on some good thing, issuing a ticket. Around race time, they drive to the rear of a nearby store where they get the results either by telephone of a "service loud speaker." Most of them, however, have gone into semi-retirement, turning the business over to their helpers who "work for the house" by taking bets on the street. They circulate around but their "'pickings" are pretty slim. Two gambling ships, anchored a mile or so out in Lake Michigan, were under police observation. Mrs.

Only "sneak pickings" here and there by touring bookies in automobiles, a couple of gambling ships and a few dingy rooms with boarded windows remain. Shutdown in April. The shutdown, which the bookie first thought was another momentary "heat wave," came in April when States Attorney Thomas J. Courtney commanded Captain Daniel Gilbert, a hard-boiled detective, to raid and smash every "joint" in town.

Captain Gilbert plunged into his task relentlessly and he hasn't stopped yet. An estimated 5,000 bookies were closed and kept closed tossing 30,000 sheet writers, cashiers, blackboard and doormen out of work. Defeated in every attempt to "get" the states attorney and Captain Gilbert, and losers in the fight to Club Won Lost Pet.
