Smi-Tclcgrapli tu (aic Two Tennis ToiiniaincniM This Summer Good news for the tennis devotees of the Pittsburgh district! The Sun-Telegraph, which not only prints the best sports pages, but also makes sports news with its own enterprising promotions, will stage not one but two tennis tournaments this summer, both of them tieing into national competition. For years the Sun-Telegraph has been holding the local public parks tournament. It will continue to do so this year, when its winners will represent the city in the National Public Parks tournament to be played at South Park. In addition, the Sun-Telegraph will be linked with other Hearst newspapers in a HEARST GRAND NATIONAL tournament, the finals of which will be staged in Los Angeles, August 10-15. The local Hearst tournament will be played on courts to be selected, June 27 to July 5, with the winners competing in sectional tournaments in Chicago ending August 1.

The winners there will go on to the Coast for the intersectional finals to produce National champions. The local interparks tournament is set for July 12-24, and the National public parks event is listed for August 16-22. Turn to Page 5, this part, and read the story by Paul G.

Tim 64, CINCINNATlTMay 1, Red Lucas stepped out here on tlie mound 'today fiom which he pitched a lot of victories for Cin-rninatl's team and shoved Ills old club deeper in tlie National League cellar bv hurling tlie Pirates to a masterful 3 to 1 victory In which he allowed Cincinnatis team only four hits. Red not only pitched like a champion but he also connected with the left-handed pitching Wild 1)111 Hallahan for a pair singles, one of which was a snfy bunt on which tlie game turned from a possible Piiate defeat into a Pittsburgh victory. Things looked bad for Lucas, making ids first start of the young season, when the Reds Jumped him for a run wttli one out in the fhst on a single bv Hub Walker and a triple by Ies Scarsella, But lied disposed of Ival Goodman and Ernie Imliirdl, Cincinnati's most dangerous hitteis, on easy Infield chances to leave Scarsella stranded on I lilt and from that until there was one nut In the eighth the Reds never got another hit. 'litis was tlie twelfth time in succession that Lucas has decl-sloncd the Reds since he was traded to tlie pirates by Cincinnati's team before the stnrt of the 1934 season. BIG AL STARTS IT Hallahan did quite a Job of pitching against the Pirates In the first five rounds today during which he yielded Just two singles, one a scratch hit, and faced only 18 batters.

But nnro the Pirates scented a rally they didn't stop until they had the game salted away. A1 Todds second straight single, a grass-cutter over second, started Ihe winning rally In the sixth. Lucas followed with a pop bunt out of Jimmy Outlaw's reiuh for a sltiRle. Jensen then sacrificed, and after getting In the 3-0 hole on Paul Waner. Hal-lahan threw him an intentional fourth ball to fill the bases.

Dickshot here dropped a single close to the right field line but since Goodman appeared likely to latch it, none of the three Pirates on base could start running until the ball struck the ground so only Todrl scored. Vaughan then drove a long liner to Walker, scoring Lucas and putting Waner on thlid, and Suhr slammed the first ball pitched to him to center for a single, scoring Waner. Brubaker also clouted one on the nose but Walker caught tt. CUTLER BREAK SPELL Lucas stifled Cincinnati's eight-Inning bid without exerting himself, After Pinrhhitterx Cuvier and McCormick had readied him for singles with one out, Handley threw out Outlaw and Waner easily gathered In the effort of Pindihltier Vligll Davis, Whltoy Moore took over Cincinnati's pitching in the ninth and hurled an unusual Inning. Handley opened against him with a triple to rigid field corner.

He then fanned Todd, walked Lucas, fanned Jensen, walked Waner to fill the bases and wound up the round by whiffing Dickshot. Tlie game in detail: MUST INNING PITTSBURGH Jensen grounded to Scai sella Waner looked at the thud strike. Myers threw out Duksliot. CINCINNATI Outlaw rolled to (CmillnM4 raw l.

Asked to carry ills vaunted speed over a distance for the first time this year, the son of Potnpey not only failed to exhibit that speed but wound up fifth, six lenghts buck of Melodist, a 15 to I shot, in the mile and 70-vaid diess reheatsul for the Dei by.

Marshall Field's Bir Dumion trailed Melodist by a length with third going to J. W. Hiown's Jewell Dorsett, a non-Dei by eligible, and fourth to W. A. Carters Clodion.

He was called out on strikes In the first inning and bounded to Hallahan in the seventh. This is the first time anv Cincinnati team has won only one of Its first eight games slnee 1931. And that team made the poorest record ever compiled by a CIneinnati club in the National League.

Dickshot sirpled and Suhr doubled in the eighth but the Pirates did not even get a man to third because Vaughan followed Diek-slint's single with a grounder to Hallahan for a double play. Lueas had lurk In getting his two hits. lie was trying to bunt Todd to second in the sixth when he hit under the hall and popped a fly out of Outlaw' reaeh, His grounder in the seventh took a mean hop and hit Searsella on the shoulder. Suhr tried to steal in the seclnd and Dickshot In the third with Lombardis accurate peRs turning both back. Todd threw Outlaw out on an attempted steal In the third after Handley had fumbled Outlaw's grounder.

Lueas was late eovering first when Kampourls led oft In the Reds fifth with a grounder to Suhr so the Red head Just took the throw with his hare hand for the out.
