The English star la showy In three shots taken during the beginning of a backhand return. BY ROBERT C. DOWSON United Press Staff Correspondent WIMBLEDON, Eng, July 5, (EE) Fred Perry, of England, strengthened his dominance of the tennis world today when he defeated Baron Gottfried Von Cramm of Germany, to complete a successful defense of his all-England championship. Perry won the final match, be-for a crowd of 18,000, by 6-2, 6-4, 6-4. By winning today Perry became the first man to take the title in two successive years since Big Bill Tiiden turned the trick in 1920 and 1921.

Todays meeting gave Perry a clean sweep over Von Cramm. They have clashed four times in major tournaments and Perry has yet to lose. Had Von Cramm won today he would have been the first German, as well as the first titled player, ever to take the championship. Victory would have been a fine birthday present to himself for he celebrates his 26th birthday on Sunday. Von Cramm gave Perry a battle In the finals of the recent French tennis championships, carrying him to five sets.

But that match was played on clay and Perry is at his best only on grass. The German didn't like Perrys speed today. Nor did he care for the Englishman's eternal hustle which forced him to hurry his shots. Perry stayed close to the baseline save in the second set, for he saw that he could triumph without going to the net, thus exposing his wings to the German's favonte shot a razor-like drive down the sidelines. Perry's victory came as a surprise, for while he was favored to defeat the stylish-stroking German, it was believed that Von Cramm packed enough ammunition to take the champion to five sets and drive him to the limit But he didn't.

Von Cramm was guilty of spotty tennis throughout and Perry opened up his full game in but one set the second. In this chapter the bounding Englishman abandoned the baseline to come to the net he loves so well, and raked the German's court with a merciless fire of volleys, smashes and half-volleys. TURNS ON POWER Only In the second set did Perry unleash the full power of his service and his forehand. Von Cramm was particularly wobbly on his backhand. It betrayed him constantly, particularly on running shots, and Perry capitalized the weakness to the BY GEOROE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 5, 1 The New York Giants cast an anxious eye behind them today and found the St Louis Cardinals In second place in the National league race.

Theres a nine game chasm between them, but with 88 games left to play the Cardinals have a fighting chance to get back into the race. Fifteen games remain between the two leaders, and the Cards can cut heavily into the Giants lead by taking a majority of these battles. Another factor in favor of the Cardinals is that they have only one eastern trip left while the Giants have two western junkets ahead of them. BELATED BID With three straight victories over their second-place rivals, the Cardinals at last seem to have decided to make their belated bid. In true Cardinal style the world champions yesterday beat the Cubs twice in the last Inning, 9-3 in 12 innings, and 6-4.

Each time St Louis made fewer hits but more runs. Four Cub errors helped the Cards take the second game, in which Dizzy Dean scored his 12th triumph of the aea- The Giants slugged out 10-8 and 12-3 triumphs over the Boston Braves. After defeating Cincinnati, 9-5. the Pirates dropped the second game to the Reds. 6-4.

The Phillies twice beat Brooklyn by one run, 3-2, and 8-7, the last game going 10 innings. Detroit closed in on New York In the American league race by winning a while the Yankees broke even, reducing the gap between them to two games. TIGERS ON RAMPAGE The Tigers scored their seventh straight victory and their fifth in a row over Cleveland, 6-5 and 10-4. Schoolboy Rowe, who started the second game, had to retire with a wrenched shoulder but received credit for the victory. Lefty Grove halted the Yankees as the Boston Red Sox triumphed, 4-3.

Lefty Gomez pitched a four-hit game as the Yanks grabbed the nightcap, 7-1. The Chicago White Sox won their fourth straight from the SL Louis Browns by taking a double-header, 11-6 and 4-0, and moved back into third place. The Philadelphia Athletics climb' ed to sixth place by defeating Washington, 6-3, and 2-1. Hundreds See Miss Jacobs, Mrs. Moody In Workouts By CLIFFORD L.

DAY (United Press Staff Correspondent) WIMBLEDON, July 5 (UP) Hundreds of tennis fans, from whose coats hung expensive badges of admittance to the Fred Perry-Gottfried Von Cramm final, abandoned the famed center court to stand in a broiling sun about an outside court today- and watch Mrs. Helen Mills Moody and Helen Jacobs practice. The two Helens, whose grudge meeting in the final of the all-England tournament tomorrow has excited British tennis followers as never before, were ate Wimbledon bright and early to begin sharpening their weapons. ''She looks nearly as good as she did several he "and Second Base Toughest Of All Positions Gehringer By CHARLES GEHRINGER Second Baseman, Detroit Tigers (Copyright, 1935, NEA Service, Inc.) IDO not say it because I am one, but I believe that the second baseman has the most difficut of all baseball position to play. Second base is a pleasurable post, for the reason that the man covering it is in the thick of things at all times.

The socond baseman patrols a wide range of territory. He is an important part of that straight through the middle combination, consisting of the catcher, pitcher, shortstop, second baseman, and center fielder. This combination must be strong defensively if a club is going anywhere. No club ever won a pennant without a fine defensive sec-cond baseman. Naturally, its all the better if the keystone sacker can swat the ball.

But, con- fining our discussion to tha defense, there are many reasons why second base Is called the keystone sack. A second baseman has to be fast. He not only has to cover a lot of ground, but be hasn't much time to make a good share of his plays. He must have good hands, one of the prime requisites of baseball. He must know bow to handle his feet, no small matter in making putouts and pivoting on double killings.

over with your stortstop as to who will cover second base in the event the man decides to steal This, of course, depends largely on the hitter. If he is a right field hitter, the shortstop watches for the catchers throw. If he is a left field hitter, cover the bag yourself. Also, with a runner on first, con for with your pitcher and first baseman about what the play will be in the event the batter sacrifices. Sometimes the pitcher covers first and the second baseman watches out for his own position while the first baseman fields the bunt Other times the pitcher takes the third base side, the first baseman the first base side, and the second baseman covers first In the big leagues infielders have these plays worked out and dont have to hold up the game, but you should know beforehand what you are going to do.

Dont wait until the play comes up. Think. CALL FOR THE BALL Use you mouth. In going into right field for pop flies, holler if you believes you have it so the right fielder wont collide with you. Also use your ears.

your right fielder take It if he shouts that he has it You will make more 'catches and avoid injuries. Work out cut-off plays from the outfield with your infield mates. And, though it may sound like odd advice, don't throw the ball before you get it. Particularly on double plays. Making quick, sharp throws is essential but always make soure of one putout before trying to make two.

years ago, said, we all know how good that was. We are holding Miss Jacobs at even money. The match la certain to be a sellout. All the reserved seats have been sold and the standing room queue is expected to begin forming before the gates are closed on todays play. Tomorrows play will mark the third times Mrs.

Moody and Miss Jacobs have met- on the center court with the championship at stake. They first met for the title in 1929 with Mrs. Moody winning in straight sets. She duplicated this victory in 1932. Last year Miss Jacobs, who has yet to win the Wimbledon crown, most coveted in all tennis, again went to the final only to lose to Dorothy Round.

Mrs. Moody has won the title six times. Victory tomorrow and she will tie Mrs. Dorothea Lambert Chambers record of seven Brouillard Is Victor In Bout Corbett No Match For Slugging Easterner SAN FRANCISCO, July 5 UJE Lou Brouillard, husky Worcester, slugger who has held two titles In the middle divisions of boxing, slammed his way to a clear-cut verdict over Young Corbett HI, former welterweight king, In a 10-round holiday bout here yesterday. Brouillard forced the fighting all the way, tagging the Fresno Italian with a steady rain of rights and lefts to the body and an occasional hook to the head.

Twice the easterner staggered his California opponent with hard blows but there were no knockdowns. a FIRST S. r. DEFEAT It was the first defeat In a main event Corbett ever had experienced In a San Francisco ring in 15 years of fighting. He weighed 155 pounds for the contest and Brouillard, former middle weight and welter weight champion, came In at two pounds more.

Corbett refused to discuss reports he intended to retire following the defeat. Promoters, meanwhile, were trying to match Brouillard with Ray Actis, a hard-hitting San Francisco middleweight who recently knocked out Swede Berglund of San Dlegot There was no doubt of Brouil lards superiority over the 30-year- old veteran from Fresno. CROWD STUNNED The United Press score sheet gave the French-Canadian seven rounds, Corbett two, and held one was even. Other ringside observers held similar opinions. When referee Jack Kennedy railed Broulllard's hand at the end, the crowd of (.000 sat as though stun' ned, then applauded half-heartedly.

There was no protest over the decision but moet in the audience realized they had witnessed the vlr tual passing of one of their favorite fighters. After the fight Corbett's handlers reported he had injured his left elbow in the seventh round. Thirty minutes after she reached the stadium Mrs. Moody, a batch of racquets under her arm, walked to an outside court and began practicing with Don Maskell British professional champion and trainer of his country's Davis cup tem. a a a DESERT GOOD SEATS Word that Mrs.

Moody, long the darling of the Wimbledon crowd, was working spread quickly and in a few minutes the hedge-bordered walks leading to the court were choked with spectators, many of whom had deserted their center-court seats. The spectators banked three deep about the two exposed sides of the court, and some stretched flat on their stomaens to peep under the green canvas backdrops at the ends of the court If excitement over her match with Miss Jacobs bothered Mrs. Moody she did not show it Against Maskell who Imitated Miss Jacobs style of play with wicked chops and twisting service as best he could, the former world's champion was as cool and collected as though practicing on the court of her California home. Miss Jacobs met a similar reception when she started practice on a nearby court with another professional It was noticeable that Miss Jacobs had her opponent concentrate on belaboring her forehand with deep, hard forehand drives Mrs. Moodys chief offensive weapon.

Both girls appeared to be in top form. a a MRS.

He struck out 10 batters, walked only two, and collected two hits himself for the afternoon.

GOOD ARM IS NEEDED The keystoner has to have a good arm, which is not a belief general even in the major leagues, because most people seem to have the impression that he only has to make short throws. But a second baseman has to have a strong, sharp throw, so he can camplete double plays. Many times he takes a pop fly In short right field, and has to be able to peg home as well to an outfielder to cut off a runner who may try to score from third. The middle sacker helps out his center fielder on balls hit past the latter by going out for relay throws which often are to the plate. Of first importance In covering second is thinking beforehand what play you are going to make If the ball is hit to you.

Any number of situations may present themselves. There may be a force out at second and a similar play at third. A double play may be possible. Maybe the play ia at the plate. That is for you to decide beforehand.

Think. Then you will be prepared and can act swiftly. A second baseman must learn how to pivot on double plays, as this is of vital Importance. a a WATCH THE HITTERS Know the hiters. Learn what batters generally hit to right Hold, which to center, and which to left Place yourself accordingly.

That extra step you save yourself may be the difference between a putout and a safe hit In connection with playing hitters, watch your catcher's signals to the pitcher. This is very important for the signal may decide in what direction the ball is going to be hit Generally a right-handed hitter will hit outside pitches to right field and inside pitches to left Left-handed hitters work just the opposite. Be careful not to move too noticeably In the direction In which the ball is going to be hit If you do, you will tip your catchers signal and a smart batter will be ready for the pitch. As a general thing, play deep-well back in the infield, close to the grass. In this way you will be able to cover more ground, because you will have more time to get to the ball.
