RACE UIPOSSE CAPTURES ARLINGTON Bill Henry Says "BRING ME BACK MY HOLM, SWEET HOLM" That's what Art Jarrett 13 crooning these days while Eleanor Holm, Olympic swimming champion, Is back in New York defending her national title, breaking records and running up long-distance telephone bills. Associated Press photol 1 1 Copyright, 1933, by Timfs-Mirror Company SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 23, 1933. PART Vl-a. Lott, Van Ryn Conquer English Duo in Davis Cup Doubles Play fy MR. WILLIAM MAY GARLAND tells us that Lord David George Cecil Brown-low Burghley, has Just been elected a member of the International Olympic Committee.

A most unusual honor. The I.O.C. Is the most exclusive International body in existenceyou can't be delegated to it, the I.O.C. chooses and elects its own members. It has power it not only safeguards the basic Olympic principles but it alone has the power to award the Games to any country.

And Lord Burghley Is the first active Olympic athlete to be selected for this distinction. They could not have chosen better. CHARMED CIRCLE IS HARD TO CRASH Its a mighty high-powered organization that Burghley has been elected to. It's head Is Count Baillet La-tour of Belgium and its member-ihip list bristles with titles. There are dukes, counts, bar-rons, lords, generals no end.

The three Americans are Assistant Secretary of the Navy Jahncke, Gen. Charles Sherrill, Ambassador to Turkey and William May Garland. And among all the ambassadors, nobility and diplomatsthere's none more diplomatic than W.M.G. YANKEES MUST ANNEX SINGLES "WHO ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH?" That's what George Lott (left) and John Van Ryn could say yesterday to the "experts" who thought they weren't fit to play on the same team with Ellsworth Vines and Wilmer Allison. Well, after the fair-haired boys folded up, the maligned doubles team routed the British in straight sets, Lott's dashing play being the outstanding feature, while Van Ryn scored more earned points and made less errors than any of the four players.

Equipoise, the great 5-year-old son of Pennant-Swinging, carrying a crushing impost of 135 pounds, galloped to victory in the $10,000 added Arlington Handicap today to prove his right, not only to the 1933 handicap championship, but to take rank with the greatest thoroughbreds of history. Equipoise won by a length and a half, defeating Watch Him, the entry of Mrs.

a couple of years ago in honor of Avery Brundage, president of the American Olympic Committee. Avery is quite a man a member of the 1912 American Olympic team and a fine handball player right now. When introduced by Mr. Garland, who was chairman of the occasion, Brundage told of meeting Mr. Garland for the first time and shaking hands with him.

"I thought I had a pretty big hand," he said, "but mine was lost in Mr. Garlands and I said to him, 'How did you get a hand like that, And Mr. Garland's reply was, "Nope politics." COMMITTEE CHOSE HIM ON SIGHT Well, handshaker or no handshaker, William May Garland made such a hit with the members of the International Olympic Committee the very first time he met them that he was almost immediately chosen as a member. Handshaking couldn't do that. It took fine appearance, rare tact and diplomacy, an air of NEW YORK, July 22.

By his victory Equipoise moved into fourth place in the list of American money-winning horses, replacing Mate. Today's race had a gross value of $12,980, with $9260 going to Owner Whitney.

This swelled the total race earnings of Equipoise to $294,820. dropping into fourth place behind Zev, which had won $313,639. Equipoise went to the post an odds-on favorite and returned $3.50 to win, $3.72 to place and $2.58 to show. The place price on Watch him was $9.52, with $3.56 to show, while Gallant Sir paid $2.54 to show. As always, Equipoise came from behind to win.

All he needed was the excellent horsemanship and strong hand riding of Jockey "Sonny" Workman to do it. Dark Secret finished fifth, with Big Brand sixth and Larranaga, after making one desperate move at the three-quarter pole, dropped out of it to finish last. with a straight-set triumph over the English pair, Frederick J. Perry and George Patrick Hughes, but the development of Ellsworth Vlnes's poor physical condition minimized the chances of saving the series tomorrow. Lott's heroic play staved off another bad start for the Americans today and furnished the Inspiration for the first United States victory In three straight matches.

The set scores were 8-6, 6-4, 6-1, as the two ex-col-legians finished with a blast of power. England's two singles conquests yesterday kept the British forces in front. 2 to 1, and they were heavy favorites to capture at least one of the two singles encounters tomorrow, bringing together first Wilmer Allison and Henry W. (Bunny) Austin, then Vines and Perry, the rival top-ranking players. Vines had two short workouts today with one ankle bandaged, the result of a recent practice sprain, and bothered also by a pulled abdomen muscle.

The American champion developed the abdominal injury while serving one of his "can-nonball" shots, also in practice. He hurt his ankle the first time at Wimbledon, but appeared fully recovered from this when he faced Austin. Bernon Prentice, American captain, insisted Vines was in shape to give a good account of himself, but it appeared obvious neither injury would aid him in a hard battle with Perry. However, this match will be an anticlimax unless Allison can stop the rampaging Austin, who lowered Vlnes's colors In straight sets and has been especially coached to combat both Americans. The doubles match was exciting only for about a set and a half.

Once Van Ryn rallied and got the range with his sharp volleys, the outcome was rarely in doubt, but to Lott went the credit for saving the first set. fighting the British brilliantly at every turn and dominating the whole match with his service. The Americans made the most of Lott's effective delivery by having him serve first for the United States team In each set.

All of which makes it a rare afternoon, indeed. But if you need further sales talk to put you in a mood for planking your dough on the line today, let it be also said that Frank Shellenback and VTncle Tom Sheehan, the Hollywood hurling ares, are billed to hook up with Phil Page and Bill Radonits, Seattle stars, on the mound. The last time Shellenback and Page tangled, they went seventeen innings in the best game played here this season. Nuf said! Now. to get back to yesterday's contest, the lumpy Mr.

Close behind in third place trailed Helen Lee Smith of Indianapolis, beaten for runner-up honors only after a great duel through the final twenty-five meters. The meet closes tomorrow, with Miss Kight going after her fourth individual title in the 880-yard free style and Miss Rawls seeking retention of her breast-stroke crown.

The platform dive, with Dorothy Poynton of the Los Angeles A. Olympic champion, the favorite, will complete the four-day OAKLAND, July 22. (A) Jim Oglesby, Los Angeles first baseman, hit safely in his forty-fourth consecutive game today when he doubled in the first inning to score Stainback and give the Angels a two-run lead over Oakland. The Angels won the game, 11 to 1. It was Oglcsby's only hit but he was robbed of another in the seventh inning when Pool, Oakland right fielder, speared his line drive with one hand.

His double was a clean drive between the outfielders. The Angels pounded McEvoy and Fieber for a dozen hits. Dick Ward, who was batted from the mound in the first game of the series, came back to get credit for his fourteenth win of the season. The lone run off him was made in the ninth inning when Raimondi. Oakland catcher, singled and scored on Wera's double.

Arnold Statz, Angel outfielder, collected two singles, a double and a triple in six times at bat. Ray Kremer, former Pittsburgh pitcher, who was signed by the Oaks His hit today, off Pitcher Noonan, while a legitimate hit, was of the variety which are questionable to the spectators. As a matter of fact, his hit today and the one the night previous, also to French, were both legitimate, but only because of scoring technicalities. De Maggio, in his last twelve times at bat against Pitchers Hartwig, Vinci, Flynn (southpaws,) Noonan and Sanders, has failed to register a sharp hit. The strain Is beginning to tell on the boy who was honored today by Italians of Sacramento for his hitting achievements.

However, the scoring has not been unduly favorable to him. The hits he is credited with are base hits in the Judgment of local baseball writers and scorers. The first time up, De Maggio forced a runner at second. Camilli to French. He flew to right and left in the next two times up and in the sixth singled through French.

He was hit by a pitched ball on the first toss by Noonan in the eighth for his last chance. The game was wild to begin with, (Continued on Page 3, Column 6) MILWAUKEE, July 22. MV-Directors of the National Professional Golfers' Association voted today to exempt all members of the Ryder Cup team from qualifying for the national championship to be held here August 8 to 13. The action was taken to meet the objections of certain stars that sectional qualifying rounds would conflict with exhibition tours they had arranged before the tournament dates were set Among members of the Ryder squad who have said they would not compete In the championship are Gene Saraxen, Walter Hagen, Densmore Shute, British open champion; Craig Wood and Joe Kirkwood. By their decision, the directors hope to remove the chief obstacle in the path of a successful tournament.

In contrast to this Van Ryn failed to hold his service at all in the opening set and won it only twice In the entire match, but the ex-Princeton player made up for this with his superb sharpshooting at the net. Van Ryn scored eighteen placements.

The British pair quickly ran up a 4-1 lead in the first set and led again at 5-3, on Hughes's service, but then cracked. The Britons' service was broken six consecutive times through the latter part of the first set and half of the second set. By that time the Americans were in full command piling up points with a rampant surge. Lott's service furnished the clinchers for the first two sets. After winning the opening game of the last set, the British were swept aside in six straight games.

Bouquets have been passed round.

And, as usual in such cases, some have been praised too much and others too little. But in the excitement over the management of the Games a lot of people have overlooked the fact that somebody "sold" a conservative, self-constituted, aristocratic. Europe-controlled International Olympic Committee the unprecedented, adventurous idea of holding the Games 8000 miles away. That "somebody" was William May Garland. AND A JOB VERY WELL DONE He didn't buy the Games for Los Angeles, he didn't argue them across the ocean and the continent, he didn't htgh-pressure or hornswoggle his fellow-members of the International Olympic Committee.

Such methods would have been disastrous. The I.O.C. didn't know much about the United States, or California, or Los Angeles. But they liked Bill Garland and awarded the 1932 Games to him. And their confidence wasnt misplaced.

Gov. Rolph asked the Senate to confirm his appointment of O'Brien and John A. McNaughton, Los Angeles packer, as members of the commission, saying he would name the third member soon. Senator Bradford S.

Parkman would not say who are to voice protests before the committee, but he declared they would come from Los Angeles, San Francisco and other points.

Miss Babcock's play in the Brookllne final was not quite up to her usual standard but she was at her peak when she faced Miss Marble for the second time.

She played brilliantly and battled for every point but Miss Marble's game had also improved since their initial meeting. The San Francisco girl centered the attack against her opponents backhand. In the first service breaks were threatened in almost every game up to the twelfth when Miss Marble's steady fire, against her opponent's backhand forced three nets before she was able to gain a point.
