PAGE SIX THE PAMPA DAILY NEWS TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 15, 1933. MRS. BATTON AND MRS. CLARK WILL MEET IN FINALS OF TENNIS 10 BE BETTER NATIONAL NET TITLE TOURNAMENT WILL BEGIN TODAY FOREST HILLS, N. Aug.

15. An unexpected day of case, bridge and shopping, coming just when rest was least needed, found the field eager and fresh today for the start of the annual Women's National Tennis championships. Rain that left the courts slick and slippery forced officials of the United States Lawn Tennis association to postpone the opening round play yesterday and left the stars of the women's tennis, world, Helen Jacobs, defending champion; Helen Wills Moody, seven times titleholder; and the remainder of the ranking players of America and Great Britain, to their own devices. Mrs. Moody, favorite to win the singles title and equal the record set by Mrs.

Molla Mallory, spent the day shopping, apparently completely recovered from the back injury that forced her out of the recent Wightman cup play with Great Britain. Miss Jacobs worried about her first appearance in "shorts." "De you think I'll look all right?" she asked. "Gee, I hope so. I talked to mother by phone out on the coast a while ago and she said it was all right. Don't you think they are nice? Do you see why anybody should object?" Indications that Mrs.

Moody was again in perfect physical condition were seen in her entry with Elizabeth Ryan, former Californian who has been living in England, in the doubles competition, where they are top seeded. It xvas expected she would forego the doubles play if she feared her back would not stand the strain. Miss Jacobs and Sarah Palfrey, of Boston, are seeded second. Final matches probably will go over from Saturday to Sunday or Monday because of the postponement, although officials will attempt to speed up play in the field of 64. The final cannot be played Sunday if Dorothy Round, British star, reaches that round.

Daughter of a minister, Miss Round, who heads the British Wightman cup team that includes Mary Heeley. Peggy Freda Games, Betty Nuthall, Mrs. L. C. R.

Michell and herself, refuses to play on the Sabbath. Prominent matches in the first round today were: Betty Nuthall vs. Jane Sharp, Los Angeles. Mrs. Moody vs.

SKELLY LOSES CONVICT BASEBALL TEAM HAS ID ALL Apq WON15 OF 21GAMES PLflYED By BILL PARKER Associated Press Sports Writer Manager Carey Selph's scrappin' Houston Buffaloes refuse to be captured by Pilot Billy Webb's dashing Galveston Buccaneers. Monday night saw the Buffaloes retain their slender three-point advantage over the Buccaneers with a 4 to 3 decision over Oklahoma City.

Mike Cvcngros, southpaw curve ball artist, retained top position for the Buffaloes when he dropped the Indians with four hits. It required a two run rampage in the last of the ninth for Houston to emerge victorious. Ccengros' mates clouted Benton and Nitcholas for eleven hits. The Indians made it an uphill fight for Houston by scoring three runs' in the first frame. The Buccaneers continued to make the league race uncomfortable for the Bufafloes by tkaing some of the wind out of the Dallas Steers.

Tubbs was in rare pitching form for Galveston, so rare that he triumphed, 3 to 1. It gave Galveston two of the three crucial games. Manager Brainard used Stiely and Vance in a stout effort to reap victory. This combination limited the Buccaneers to six hits, two runs In the first and one trf the third were too much for the 1 Steers to overtake. It was a disastrous'bjow to the Steers and dropped them 'from third to fourth place when San Antonio jumped to third place with an 8 to 4 win over Port Worth.

Walkupj San Antonio's young mound finq who is unbeatable when he is right and easy to defeat when wrong, was right against the cats. He allowed nine hits but was tough to solve in the pinches. The Missions stormed across for three runs in the third and four more in the sixth to settle all doubts about the eventual Beaumont and Tulsa played a doubleheader Sunday and remained idle Monday. Young Golfers Play On Amarillo Course Pour of Pampa's young golfers played the River Drive course in Amarillo yesterday afternoon, getting ready for the Panhandle Open Golf Tournament to be held in Amarillo Sept. 4 and 5.

The local boys who plan to enter are Bus Kaufman, Grover Austin, Max Brown, and Elmer Irving. Austin and Brown played Kaufman and Irving in a low ball match which was won by Austin and Brown, 2 up. Austin shot low score with a 72 while Kaufman was one stroke up with a 73. Brown made the course in 76 and Irving- in 77 strokes. Kaufman's driving was sensational throughout the match with Austin's putting equally outstanding.

Irving made his long Iron shots count while Brown's short approaches were mostly dead to the pin. a Cheese production, totaling nearly 2,000,000 pounds, gained 17 per cent in Montana last year as compared with the 1931 output. Glen Downs of White Deer visited here last night. PAMPANS SCORE THREE RUNS IN NINTH TO WIN BATTLE A three-run rally in the last half of the ninth inning gave the Pampa All Stars a 10 to 0 victory over the Skellytown Oilers at Magnolia park Sunday afternoon before a large crowd. Carroll was in the box when the All Stars made their successful bid.

J.

Homer, Bryant, C. Homer, and Willis got two hits each off Meeks' delivery. One of C. Homer's hits went for three bases while J. Homer, Williams, Bryant, Sorcnson, and Huse all hit doubles.

Caddy walked and Romine hit a single. Carroll hit Maples to fill the bases Lassiter forced Maples, Caddy scoring.

Coburn walked to again fill the bases and Clemmons and Lasiter scored when Frank and Meeks were both safe on Sorenson's errors of their hot grounders. Vodie Clemmons relieved Meeks for the All Stars in the seventh and Skellytown scored four runs off his pitching. He allowed seven of the 13 hits made by the Oilers. However, the youngster pitched some nice ball, striking out five men in the three innings lie pitched. Meeks had the same number of strikeouts Eight of the All Stars went out swinging.

Explaining the championship caliber of this year's team. Albert Moore, the manager, says, "ifo team work. The boys are just now learning to play together. We haven't had the slightest trouble among them this year, The players, however, never have given much back in 1926, Warden Speer used to bring a group of the boys out each afternoon and let them practice. Of course, at that time there were no fences around the park, but that made no difference to didn't even wear a pistol.

The boys who play ball arc just naturally dependable. "Of course," continued Moore, "team-work isn't everything. One of the most important factors is that my boys never "blow-up." When the going gets rocky the boys just slow down and take their time -most of them have A twinkle lit his eyes as he continued, "I've got the best set of base stealers you ever saw, too." The Tigers, playing each Sunday afternoon to crowds of between three and five hundred, have eight more games this season.

NEW AMERICAN LEAGUE RECORD SET BY CLOUTER By EDWARD NEIL Associated Press Sports There's a new brilliant shining today in the bonnet of pink-cheeked Jimmie Foxx, a new American league record of nine runs batted in In one game.

Never In all Babe Ruth's twenty years of big league play has fie loosed more devastation at the plate than Foxx unleashed yesterday as the Athletics slaughtered Walter Johnson's Cleveland Indians 11 to 5 in the first game of their western invasion. The nine runs he drove across the plate broke the record of eight set by Topsy Hartzell of the Yankees in 1911, and tied since by Harry Hell- man, Lou Gehrlg, Carl Reynolds and Earl Averlll. He fell three shy of equalling the major league record set by Jim Bottomley of the Cards with an even dozen in 1924. Rallying from an ordinary start this season, due to a spiked shin in the spring- that healed slowly, Foxx's one-man field day boosted his average to .362 for a neat lead, over his old room mate, Al Simmons, his foremost hitting rival around the circuit. Aside from the glamor of Foxx's achievement, the day in the majors was a typical blue Monday wiht Detroit beating Boston 6 to 5 hi the only other game played.

The Tfyr tional league's lone match between the Phillies and Giants was rained out. Foxx's outburst led a 13-hit raid on Willis Hudlin and Belye Bean and gave Roy Mahaffey a chance to coast to his fifth victory of the season behind a nine-run lead pileij up in the first four innings. The Tigers banged three Boston pitchers for four runs in the seventh to pile up a 6 to 5 margin. MCLEAN BEATS One of the best ball games of the season was played at McLean day -afternoon when McLean de-r feated Twitty with a score of 3 to- 2. S.

Brown made a run for TwittyJn the second inning. 'V. McLean made all three of her run's in the fifth inning when Dorman, the youthful pitcher, weakened. He revived, however, and allowed ho more runs during the game. Brown scored for Twitty in the ninth Inning to bring the score up to 3.

to 2. Hess hurled for McLean and Slayer caught. Dorman pitched aria Nelson caught for Twitty. Errors for McLean, for Twitty, 1. Hits for McLean, for Twitty, 4.
