Patrick Potempkln drawn Today's Sports a a By Henry McLemore -NEW YORK--It is doubtful if the game of tennis ever will grip this nation as it does England where crowds of 30,000 are not uncommon and hundreds stand in line all night in order to gain standing room near a court on which an important fjiatch is scheduled. But it wouldn't be surprising to see all American attendance records for the sport broken this year during the Wightman cup series and the men's and women's nationals at Forest Hills, and the West Side Club's spacious horseshoe stadium completely sold out for the first -time. The men's championship will boast a field second only to Win' blcdon in Jass, Augmenting America's greatest players will be a host of foreign luminaries, including Jack Crawford, the mighty Australian who toppled Ellsworth Vines from his pinnacle of world supremacy. Crawford will be accompanied by his Davis cup teammates, Vivian McGrath, Don Turnbull and Adrian Quist. McGrath.

it will be remembered, is the youngster who carried the two-handed backhand. RED WINGS TIE MAPLELEAFS Lead of Newark Bean Cut to Two Games at Result Rochester rose, into a tie with Toronto at second place in the International League standing by beating the leading Newark Bears 8 to Ira Smith" held the Bears to live hits while his mates collected 14 off Weaver and Mam- jnaux. Smith made a homer for the Wings in the sixth. The defeat chopped Newark's first place lead to two games. Toronto bowed to Jersey City, 5 to 2, when Ray Phelps let the Leafs down with five safeties.

Collier and Frazier yielded eight hits to the Sbeeters, some of which were bunched for three runs in the sixth Montreal and Baltimore staged a 16-inning marathon contest, which, the Royals finally won when Gautreau's single sent McKeithan home with the marginal tally Harry Smythe went the route for Baltimore, allowing 16 hits, more, than the Orioles made off Pomorski, Fisher and McKeithan. The Royals tied the count with a run in the second, and both clubs went scoreless until the 15th when each made two runs. It was the second longest game of the International season. Buffalo trounced Albany, 10 to 4 in a night game. The Bisons collected 12 hits off Ragland.

Foreman and McCorey, while Gallivan limited the Senators to eight. Buffalo made four runs in the first and four in the fourth. England is certain to send a team, probably Bunny Austin and Fred Perry, and Japan's doughty little warriors, Jiro Satoh and Ryosuka Nunoi, are expected to be present. There is a chance that France will send Cochet or one of its younger stars. A final round duel between the fluent-stroking Crawford and the slugging Vines would pack the Forest Hills stadium from turf to top.

So would a women's final between Mrs. Moody and Dorothy Round, the courageous little English Girl who took a set from the world's champion at Wimbledon--the first set the great Moody had dropped since 1926 or her "appendicitis year. 1 Such a match is entirely possible, for Miss Round, accompanied by five of England's greatest Nuthall, Freda James, Mary Heeley. Peggy Scriven. and Mrs.

R. C. Mitchell--will sail for this country on Saturday. Judging by the Wimbledon final, Miss Round, who hits probably the lardest forehand drive in women's tennis, stands an excellent chance of bringing Mrs. Moody's long reign an end.

She was within one point of making the score 5-5 in the set. and if she had gained that single point in is reasonable to be- ieve she might well have gone on to win match and give the sports world its biggest upset since David outpopped Goliath. Miss Round has made the fastest jrogress of any woman tennis play- 2r in the business. One year ago he faced Mrs. Moody at Wimbledon and was able to win but one Last week she won fifteen jefore bowing to the champion's iupcrior courtcraft and stamina.

The championship is certain to ee Helen Jacobs dethroned, for she never has won a tournament in which Mrs. Moody was entered and irobably never will. i01ds Season's Fastest Mile At Toledo GIRL PITCHER PROBABLEFOR BEARDED NINE Jackie Mitchell, First and Only Girl in Organized Baseball, May Sign Contract "Jackie" Mitchell, the "first and only girl in organized" baseball who achieved fame two years ago when she struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig is likely to be given a pitching contract by Chief Bender's House of David team. If negotiations which were underway here yesterday are carried out --and it seemed a certainty that they would be--Jackie Mitchell will pitch against the State Hospital Grays here Monday night when the Bearded nine returns. Jackie and her father.

Dr. Joe Mitchell of Chattanooga who is her manager and booking agent, were in Middletown and conferred with the House of David manager and with Brown Hunter of the Grays. The meeting was arranged after Miss Mitchell had seen the House of David team play in Philadelphia, a week ago. A contract was not signed during the conference but there seemed every indication that one would be and that "Jackie" would start as their pitcher here Monday night Tlie nineteen-year-old girl pitcher, about whom enough news stories have been written to fill several books, became interested in baseball as a child when her parents lived in an adjoining apartment to Daszy Vance. Dazzy noted her interest and told her: "You're going to be a famous ball pitcher some day." She set out to make his iokine: prediction a reality and has succeeded.

She was active in athletics while in finishing school and two years ago made her big bid for fame when she was signed by the Chat- ianooga Outlooks of the-Southern League. She pitched an exhibition against the New York Yan- cees. Babe and Lou both struck out. Whether the Babe fanned inten- has been a discussed question ever since. If he did it wasn't through any advance arrangement.

Battprs have gained hits "rom her pitching many times in 156 games of organized baseball in which she has narticipated and are encouraged to hit if they can. Both Jackie and her father were iware that her pitching wouldn't je a drawing card if opposing bathers favored her. During the past years she- has pitched games in the Southern. Mid-Atlantic, Eastern, Piedmont, and Tennessee-Alabama leagues. WHICH DO YOU A VACATION TRIP OR UNUSED FURNISHINGS?

S. for i to Challenge French Davis Cup Team LONDON Crack tennis players if England and Australia will start heir five-match battle tomorrow at Wimbledon for the right to meet the United States team later in the Daris Cup Inter-Zone final, and the ads from "down under" are 5-to-4 avorites to win. If the Australians win as cxpect- they will furnish the American cam mighty stiff opposition at Ro- ind Garros Stadium, Paris, in the inter-zone final which opens a week from Friday. The winner of the Paris match will meet the French team in the challenge rounc for the cup. Anticipating a hard series will either the Australians or the English, the XJnitcd States team started practice at Paris yesterday.

This Ls the first time since the days of Brookes and Patterson lha the Australian squad has threatened to smash through to the cup. With Jack Crawford who las: week wrested the Wimbtedon singles title from the American champian Ellsworth Vines playing No. 1 man on the Kangaroo team, the experts figure the Australians rrore powerful than the English four. FREDDIE KAWES ISRAEL IN FOURTH AT SEATTLE SEATTLE--Freddie Miller dispelled all doubt as to his superioritj in the featherweight ranks by knocking out Abie Israel, Seattle, In the fourth round of a scheduled 15-round baut before 8,000 fans last night. The world's champion outfought his oppinent from the start.

The end came after 2 minutes of the fourth. Isreal, unsteady on his feet from a terrific beating in the first three rounds, went down for the count from a solid left cross. The challanger, who won a decision over Miller in an overweight match several weeks ago, was on the defensive throughout. He clinched frequently.

N. Y. 1 DWSM7 Jackie Mitchell May Oppose Grays ipp "Jackie" Mitchell who is likely to be signed as a pitcher by the House of David nine and who is expected to pitch the first three innings for that team against the Grays here Monday night. "Jackie" who struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig two years ago, plays basketball, swims, and pilots a plane in addition to her ball pitching. Interviewers have 'ound her distinctly feminine--she cooks and plays a piano.

But baseball is her hobby and a profitable one. According to her father who manages her baseball activities, she earned from $300 to $400 a year last season on the diamond. American League YESTERDAY'S RESULTS New York 5. St. Louis 4.

Juniors, who play the Olisyille American Legion Juniors tonight at Bergt-r Field, will not be sponsored by the Middletown American Legion Pont this year in the County League but being groomed as a possible Middletown Legion Team next year, Fred Broas who is organizing' the team said today. Games this year have been promised with the Ncwburuli and Port Jcrvis in addition to the Olisvillc Legion Junior teams. A of Blondy Ryan, "Fielding Fool" Leaves New Yorkers Playing Faulty Ball They thought Rookie John Ryan was a process server when he entered the New York Giants' office on January twenty-third, and Secretary Jim Tierney threw him out. Ryan made the mistake of coming down from his home at Lynn. and whipping out his signed contract under Tierneys nose, entirely unannounced.

Nobody kew him. But now everybody 'knows Blondie Ryan, the "Fielding Fool," and the Giants' front office and New York fans regard him as a baseball MOMS whose scheduled return to the lineup at St. Louis today is expected to lead the Giants out of their disastrous slump. That the National leaders' pennant hopes should appear to rest upon a rookie shortstop, who has a sea-bottom batting average of .194. emphasizes the capriciousness of baseball.

But such seems to be the case. Since Ryan received a ten-stitch spike gash in the right leg on July second from Joe Medwick of the Cardinals, the Giants won only one game and lost seven straight. Even though the second-place Cardinals floundered about, the Giants' six- game lead was chopped down to two and a half. The once great Travis Jackson, whom Ryan was supposed to understudy this season, but supplanted instead, proved a weak replacement for Blondio at short, and the air-tight infield blew up completely, no longer supporting the excellent pitching. Nineteen errors In the last seven games resulted in seven defeats.

Bill Terry's outfit achieved the crest of sloppy baseball yesterday by fumbling away a game to St. Louis. 2 to 1. Scampering about the field on T.eon Errol legs they made five errors, four of which were committed in the Riving the Cards their two runs without the necessity of a hit in that frame. Pitcher Leroy Parmele did not deserve the defeat because he held the Cards to six hits, while Dizzy Dean yielded ten to New York.

Chicago extended its whining streak to six games a 6-to-2 win over Brooklyn enabling the Cubs to replace Pittsburgh at third position. The Cubs combined two errors and four of their seven hits for six runs in the eighth. Boston humbled the Pirates. 5 to.3. after Jordan's single, Moore's triple and Whitney's long fly accounted for the two marginal runs in the eighth.

The Phillies rose out of the cellar, dropping Cincinnati into the basement by beating the Reds, 2 to 1. Schulmerich's Hth-inning single drove Don Hurst home with the winning run, giving Roy Hansen victory over Si Johnson in a pitching duel. The rehabilitated New York Yankees advanced to within two games of the Washington Senators, American League leaders, by beating St. Louis. 5 to 4.

while Washington lost to Chicago. 9 to 3. Lefty Gomez 1 excellent relief pitching and home runs by Dixie Walker and Tony Larceri resulted in the Yankee victory. Chicago hammered three Washington hurlers for 16 hits, including Evar Swanson's triple, double and two singles in four attempts. Walt Miller held the Senators to eight scattered hits.

Jimmy Foxx and Max Bishop led the attack as Philadelphia beat Cleveland. 6 to 4, and Boston downed Detroit, 2 to after Walters' walk. Cooke's double and Jolly's infield out resulted in two runs in the fourth. Bob Weiland bested Vic Frazier in a tight pitching duel.
