Boats Place Second in Two Events rrr 1 1 British Rout French in Davis Cup Singles Cross-Channel Trip for Trophy Looms as Merlin and Cochet Are Beaten ATJTEUIL, France. July 28 (A. The French Davis Cup tennis defense crumbled unexpectedly today with the defeat of Henrt Cochet In the singles and England smashed through for two victories that forecast, simultaneously, the end of France's six-year reign and the first British triumph since 1912. Cochet, the dapper little Frenchman who was regarded only two years ago as the world's premier player, went down before the powerhouse attack of Fred Perry, twenty-four-year-old top-ranking British star. With him toppled the slim French hopes of sustaining their hold on the -international trophy.

Perry fainted from fatigue In the dressing room afterwards, but if 4 1 there was no aien of distress as the mgmmi III! I 'v: Of lliWlv Wins Feature Across River Boscohel Runs Second in Headliner at Kenilworth By Jack Carveth Wrigley Field, aided by a smart ride from Jockey George Riley, took down the first money In the feature race at Kenilworth Park Friday. Wrigley Field beat Boscobel, the mare formerly owned by Bill Dun- ford, of Walkervllle, by a half length In a spirited stretch drive with Mild, a recent arrival from Stamford Park, third, in a field of only five thoroughbreds. For only a short time did Wrigley Field trail In the field. After going less than a furlong, Riley took his mount to the front and he never was headed over the mile and 70 yards route. Boscobel always was a contender but was not good enough for the winner, while Mild, making his first start since racing at Niagara Falls, was a poor third.

The secondary feature rivaled the headliner for interest, even if it was confined to horses foaled in Canada. George E. Miller, unsuccessful in previous starts across the River, got down In front of the field to pay off handsomely, with Easter Dandy, the favorite, second, and Mr. Gaiety third in a field of seven. To Amis Takes Opener Lloyd Gentry's To Arms, a gelding by Dress Parade, accounted for the first race and he was better than 4 to 1.

Riley was astride the winner and he won by two lengths over Candle Fly after a long delay at the post. Moresorls was beaten a head for the place when Candle Fly showed a great burst ot speed In the stretch. Mind Reader, a favorite at 6 to 5, never was a contender. To Anno ran the five and one-half furlongs In 1:08 2-5. Authority, under colors of J.

E. Smallman, beat Craigco, won a close decision and Craigco was barely able to save the place from Roy Waldron's Free, which finished with a great burst of speed to be beaten a nose for the place. Authority was neglected In the machines and went to the post a 10- 1 shot. Donate, the favorite, finished fourth. Free paid nearly 11- 1 for third place.

A field of 12 went to the post. J. L. McKnoght's Crackle made every pole a winning one in the third race. "Specs" McCoy was up on the winner and he made no mistakes after leaving the barrier.

Crackle had to stave off three separate challenges but he was good enough and won by a length and a half over Dark Colleen, with Brookhatten, beaten a nose for the place money. Steele was fourth. Crackle was the favorite. Burrlll Wins Another Jackie Burrill, 19-year-old Windsor youth, rode Bright Day to his second straight victory in the sixth race, a gallop of a mile and one-sixteenth. Bright Day was heavily played as a result of his last impressive victory and paid only 7.55 for a $2 investment.

Phantasime, also well played, was second with Tryon third In a field of a dozen. Bright Day ran the mile and a sixteenth In 1:48 4-5. Sir Byron, making his first start across the River, went to the post at better than 8-1 and under the guiding hands of J. W. Frye, won the seventh race with something to spare.

Bylona, a double winner across the River, was second with Meridian Queen, the favorite, third in a field of 11. Sir Byron ran the mile and a sixteenth In 1:47 2-5. Don Zimmerman to Play with Eastern Grid Team CHICAGO, July 28 (U. Don Zimmerman, All-America halfback from Tulane, has accepted an invitation to play with the Eastern team In the East-West football game at Soldier Field the night of Aug. 24, Coach Dick Henley, of Northwestern, who is In charge of the Eastern squad, announced today.

Hanley has picked 19 of his 22 players for the game. Howard Jones, Southern California, will coach the Western team. Temple Has Prospect Eddie Cramer, ace southpaw of the Temple University baseball team, Is being groomed for the big leagues. Despite the fact he still has a year more of school, scouts say he Is excellent material. Marriage and golf do mix, as Mrs.

M. J. Joyce proved Friday when she acceded to her husband's request for a birthday present by bringing home for the second year in succession, the Michigan Mrs. M. J.

Joyce Breaks Course Mark with 81 to Triumph in M. G. A. Meet Sorrell to Win in First Inning Herring Pitches Last Two Frames of Contest CLEVELAND, July 28-The Ti gers today slipped deeper into the second division when they lost the first game of the series with the Indians. 7 to 2.

The Tribe's victory put it a full game ahead of the Harrlsmen after going Into the game only a percentage point in front. The story of the Bengal defeat was the old one of base hit famine and pitching failure. Oral Hildebrand, driven from the box In his last three starts and unable to win a game since July 5, came back today to hold the Tigers to eight hits and blank them for seven innings. While Hildebrand was sailing along without running Into any danger signals, the Indiana rapped Vie Sorrell's offerings for eight timely hits and five runs In the first five Innings and made two doubles and a single off Herring, good for another pair of tallies in the seventh. Despite the wildness of Hildebrand in the first Inning when he walked two batters, the Tigers couldn't come up with the hit needed to drive in a tally or two.

Only five hits were made off the slender righthander in the first six Innings and In the one inning in which two were bunched by Frank Doljack and Bill Rogell, two outs preceded the singles. Sorrell Is Wild In the last three Innings when the Tigers threatened, double plays helped pull Hildebrand out of trouble. Except for Hale's error on Davis' slow grounder In the eighth, which was followed by fh-rlnger's single and an out, Hildebrand would have had another scoreless Inning. The Tiger tally In the ninth came lifter Doljack had walked and Ro-gell, the only Bengal to make more than one hit, singled him to third. Pasek, Detroit's rookie catcher, bounded to Hildebrand for the start of a riouhle play, Doljack scoring on the out Vlo Sorrell's efforts to curb the Indians' attack were hindered by his wlldnese.

He walked Johnny Oulllber in the first Inning, got in the hole on Boss before the latter singled, and pitched a three and two cripple to Averill, who promptly socked the pitch for a triple that drove in two runs. Bad News Hale followed with a single that scored Averill. Younger members of the Indians were particularly obstreperous all afternoon in tampering with the pitches of the Detroit hurlers. Small Crowd at Game Oulllber who was playing his fourth day as a major leaguer, collected a single, double and a sacrifice in addition to his pass, and his aounie in the seventh was followed off Ross' bat that scored Hale's single in this inning 'scored Kofs. It was Boss who hrm home in the fifth after the latter naa doubled, and after Auoriti'.

single had moved the first baseman 10 inira, out scored him. Despite the fact the Indians came home after climbing Into the first division by winning eight of then-last 12 games, only about 3,000 fans paid their way into the mammoth stadium though some 8,000 women took advantage of Ladies' Day. Bucky Harris may start Schoolboy Rowe in the second game of the series tomorrow afternoon Rowe having shown signs of recov ering from a sore arm that has kept him from the box. The Cleveland pitcher will be either Clint Brown, the old Tiger Jinx who is recovering from a long hospital turn, or Wesley B'errell, who still has a sore arm that hasn't turned in a victory this month.

The collision occurred when both attempted to field a fly ball. McGregor finished the game and went home and had dinner. Later he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage.

FORT DALHOUSIE. Ont, July 28. The Blue and White scullers from the Detroit Boat Club made a gallant stand today in the second day of the Royal Canadian Henley regatta here, but the best they could annex was two seconds, that being In the junior 140-pound eights, when they were nosed out by two lengths of open water In a driving finish to Brockville of Eastern Ontario. The Detroiters lost no prestige, however, for the victors were champions of their own recent meet, and the Detroiters had the satis faction of being one of the few rival crews that administred a defeat to Buffalo Westciders, who swept the events hands down yesterday. De Clercy la Beaten Brockville was also the Detroit nemesis In the final of the junior singles, for De Clercq, who qualified on opening day, was forced to take the wash of Vern Price, of the Brocks, who also wore champion laurels at the Eastern regatta.

Both the Detroit singles sculler and his leader, though, tossed another Buffalo Bingle into discard, when Wendele, qualifier, finished a poor fourth behind Liddcll, of Hamilton Leanders. A length and a half of open water separated the first two with the other two well back, hopelessly out. The big black "bollermakers," of Wyandotte R. gave Coach Bals-loy and the throng of spectators a boost when they made a parade of their opening heat In the senior eights, leading University of To-lonto to the barrier by six lengths of open water that could have been Ifl had the Michigan oarsmen been extended. Easy for Wyandotte The race, was Wyandotte's from gun to gun and they step out tomorrow to oppose Hamilton Leanders.

The third crew in will be Westsldes, of Bufralo, whose junior eights advanced to the final stages earlier. The Scarlet and White Leander eight is coached by Jim Rice, former Detroit mentor, and Is the one which defeated Toronto Argos in 1932 to land the Canadian Olympic entry. Wyandottes give every Indication of forcing the other two to the limit and as soon as the last heat closed, Coach Baisley had his senior fours with coxswain out tuning up for their gruelling race with their foremost Canadian rivals in fours, Toronto Argos, which goes before the stadium tomorrow as one of the features of getaway day. American Yacht Wins in England COWES, Isle of Wight. July 28 (A.

The American yawl Do-rade. famous for her victory In the Newport to Plymouth ocean Tare In 1931, today captured the 720-mlle yachting race from Cowes to Fastn'et Rock, Ireland, and return. Sailed by Roderick and Olln J. Stephens, the Dorade finished six hours behind the British yacht Flame, sailed by Robert Somerset, but her handicap of 17 hours gave her victory by a margin of about 11 hours. Flame dropped back into third place on corrected time with another American boat, Grenadier, owned by Henry and Sherman Morse, moving Into second position.

W. T. Barnum's American boat. Brilliant, was fourth and T. P.

Rose-Richard's Lexlo, of England, fifth. Cruise Effects AlWatrous'Golf He Stars on Ship, but Fails on Land Something new In golf the cruising pro-amateur tournament, was inaugurated Friday when 20 Detroit professionals and 20 amateurs, started out On a cruise up the river, landed for a round at Lakewood Golf and Country Club at Tecumseh, and came back down' the Jllver again. They were gueBts of E. J. Dore and Ralph C.

Wilson. The golfers with the best sea legs didn't show the best golf at Lake-wood. Sailor Al Watrous, formerly of the United States Navy and now of Oakland Hills, amused the party with aquaplane stunts on the trip up the River, but couldn't seem to hit his stride again when land was reached. Golf honors were tied between Mortie Dutra and Ellis Berry, of Bed Run, and Bob Whittle and Louis Sabo, of Lakewood, each pair turning in a best ball of 63. Mortie had an individual score of 68.

He missed a two-footer on the last green that would have given him a tie for the course record hold by Bill Fox, of Lakewood. Jimmy Boyle and W. Wyatt, of Little River, were third with a best ball of 64. Bill Fox and Jack Ireland, of Lakewood, tied Jack Burns and Jack Prince, of Essex, for lourth with 67. stalwart Briton trounced the great Cochet In the fifth set of an other- wise hard-fought match, decided by scores of a-iu, 8-4, 8-6, 3-6, 6-1, Big Edge to Britons Following upon the decisive victory of Henry W.

(Bunny) Austin over the youthful Andre Merlin, newcomer to Davis Cup play, by scores of 6-3, 6-4, 6-0, England thus gained a 2-0 lead and now needs only one more match to clinch the series and take the historic cup across the Channel. France, In order to keep the tro phy from tne United States at Germantown In 1927 and success fully defended five times by her famous "Musketeers," would have to win all three of the remaining matches. The defenders have a good chance to pull out the doubles tomorrow, with the veteran Jacques Brugnon and Jean Borotra In good form, but no one expects Merlin to stop Perry In the singles Sunday nor Cochet to have advantage over Austin. Precedent Against French No team In all the history of Davis Cup competition has been able to survive the Iobs of the first two singles matches. The British appear strong enough to win han dily, regardless of this precedent in their favor, and perhaps mark the beginning of a new Anglo-Sax on dynasty In International tennis The astute English captain, Her bert Roper Barrett, who played on Britain's first Davis Cup team In 1900, may withdraw Perry from the doubles and substitute H.

G. N. Lee as a partner for George Patrick Hughes against the Brugnon-Bo- rotra combination. Perry condition after today's hard match made it Imperative he have a good rest for Sunday's singles. Cochet's Legs Go Bad Meanwhile the French have no thought of seeking to substitute Borotra In the singles for Merlin on Sunday.

The Davis Cup rules prohibit such a change, except where a player already drawn is adjudged not in condition to continue. The defense staked Its hopes on a comeback by Cochet and the defeat of their Idol came as a stunning blow to partisans in the capacity crowd of 12,500 clustered around the red clay court In Roland Garros Stadium. Cochet, accepting defeat with a smile, admitted he was not up to his old form. "At the beginning everything was all right," said the little French ace. "Toward the end, however, my legs began to fail me and that was the finish." MAJOR AMERICAN LEAGUE Tct.

There hasn't been a close finish In INlAvar Icitirr Knee JAMES IH'FKY Brown Chum Succeeds Day Former Titan Coach on Boxing Body By Charles P. Ward James F. Duffy, Detroit attorney and former football coach at the University of Detroit, Friday was appointed to the State Athletic Board of Control by Gov. William A. Comstock.

He succeeds Al A. Day, of Detroit, who resigned from the governing body of boxing and wrestling early this week. Duffy's appointment was one of four made by Gov. Comstock Friday as he reorganized the boxing commission. n.nvinond Johnson, jLudlngtnn; E.

W. Dlckerson, Grand Rapids, and George McKinlcy, Hint, were the other appointees. I They succeeded Herman Dignan, Owosso; Dr. F. N.

Bonine, Niles, and David Gudelsky, Muskegon. James M. (Bingo) Brown, chairman of the board, was permitted to retain his place as was Dwight Barker, the secretary. Both are expected to be replaced later, however. Appointment Is Surprise Duffy's appointment was something of a surprise to members of the boxing fraternity.

He had been mentioned as a possible successor to Brown as chairman of the commission, but nobody except the Governor seemed to regard him as a candidate for the job of commissioner. The chairman draws a substantial salary whereas the commissioner usually is paid off in grief and abuse. And little else. Duffy Is a chunky, grey-eyed nervous little man "with the map of Ireland stamped upon his face." Before he became football coach at University of Detroit in 1917. he was an English teacher and football coach at Easlem High School here.

Before that he was a second string quarterback on the Colgate University football team. As he cogitated Friday upon the strange ways in which things work out, Duffy related that he was the Detroit sponsor of Brown, present chairman of the athletic board and the president of the National Boxing Association. Now Brown Is his superior for the time being at least. Chum of Brown's "Bingo and I were roommates at prep school In Tllton, N. said Duffy.

Not a very encouraging slogan in a country which recently entertained the world's greatest amateur athletes in the Los Angeles Olympiad. But track Interest has been on the down grade for some time. And for years. L. W.

Olds, National A. A. U. official and coach of the Michigan Normal cinder team, has been howling about it and rousing the wrath of some of the oldtime coaches. Olds, recently appointed head field judge for the annual International Police Field Meet, said Friday that the majority of American track coaches "have been asleep" for the last decade.

"Track has come to be a heartache to most athletic directors and athletic controlling boards," be said. MRS JOYCE Golf Association play tournament incidentally, the Joyce had asked Mrs. Nobles In a team match between New Hawthorne and Bob O'Link several weeks ago and that meeting whetted Interest In the M. G. A.

tournament because of the rivalry between them. Mrs. Joyce trailed Mrs. Nobles by three strokes at the start of Friday's round, but she soon made up the difference. She outdrove both Mrs.

Nobles and Mrs. Harr. with whom she was playing, on al most evpry She bud her ap proach shots dead and on seven greens needed only one putt. She took only 29 putts for the 18 holes as she carded nines of 40 and 41. Mrs.

Nobles Off Stride With Mrs. Joyce at the top of her game and Mrs. Nobles very evident ly off stride. It was not long before the lead changed hands. Mrs.

Joyce clipped a stroke from her rival's lead with a par four at the first and cut off another with a four on the short fifth hole when Mrs. Nobles got Into trouble. Mrs. Joyce went to the front by two strokes on the sixth hole, when she laid her approach shot within three feet of the pin and got down in one putt for a par four. Mrs.

Nobles put her second into the creek and wound up with a seven. Mrs. Nobles won back a stroke with a par four at the ninth and made the turn In 45, but Mrs. Joyce, with her 40, was out In front by two strokes. Mrs.

Big Frank Shields, of New York, America's fifth-ranked tennis star, today captured the classic Seabright Invitation tournament's main prize the men's singles cham pionshlp by decisively outplaying Gregory Mangin, of Newark, the National Indoor champion, to win in straight sets, 6-1, 6-3, 6-1.

victor over Mangin, who was runner-up here a year ago, in the recent Crescent Athletlc-Hamlin In vitation tournament. Shields today staged one of the most one-sided victories in the history of the Sea- bright event, going on for 46 years. His hard-smashing game right In form, the New Yorker had the range with his sideline shots for almost countless placements, and at the finish had the National Indoor champion, ranked two places below him on the National list, hopelessly outclassed. The Shlelds-Mangln match was the second final played today, the hard-hitting team of Josephine Crulckshank and Alice Marble, of California, earlier having been as Impressive as Shields in their 6-2, 6-1 triumph over Virginia Rice and Marjorie Sarhs, of Boston, in women's doubles. Shields follows Sidney B.

City Net Title to Mary Capa Win Fast Match from Miss O'Donovan It took Mary Mustaikis Cspa just 20 minutes to win the Citv singles title at the Detroit Tennis Club rrlaa'- She defeated Constance O'Dono- van in straight sets, 6-3, 6-0, in one of the shortest championships matches In the history of the tournament. Constance was baffled after Mrs. Capa served her first ball. And instead of steadying after a nervous start, the loser became less accurate and in the middle of the second set wag hopelessly beaten.

Kelndel and Gibson Win The champion scored placements almost at will. Driving the ball deep into the forehand corner for placements and then changing her pace with a brilliant drop shot that caught Constance off balance, Mrs. Capa set the pace at all times. Miss O'Donovan's widely discussed underhand service never troubled the agile Mrs. Capa.

She took her opponent's best serves In stride and steadily put them out of reach with neat gets. Constance was far from the form she displayed In defeating the fiery Jean Hoxie In the semi-finals. She made a gallant stand for a game or two In the first set and her drlv-i Ing game picked up for a short while. But he couldn't take the pace away from the champion and Mrs. Capa went on to win easily.

Old George Relndel paired with Ray Gibson to win the men's doubles title over James Spencer and Frank Donovan, 6-4, 6-3, 1-6. 7-5. The losers staged a brilliant rally after the second set and threatened to force the match to five sets. Klein Meets Klunxlngrr Donovan and Relndel will meet Saturday in the finals of the men's singles. It is expected to be the outstanding match of the day.

And Is carded for 2:30 o'clock. In other matches played Friday, Norman Klein defeated Jack Rod-gers, 6-3, 0-6, 6-3, In the Junior semi finals. Willard Klunzinger turned back Gordon Wood, 7-9, 6-2, 8-3, In the other match. Klein and Klunz inger are carded to play the title match at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Paired with Bob Edmonds, former Western High ace, Klunzinger won the junior doubles championship by defeating Rodgers and Cum-mings, 6-3, 2-6, 4-6, 6-1, 7-8.

An outstanding attraction on Saturday's card is the women's doubles finals. The Blackman sisters, Elizabeth and Louise, will meet Constance O'Donovan and Esther Challove.

By Lewis H.

Walter Mrs. Michael J. Joyce, of Bob O'Link, still tops the liBt of Detroit women public links players. After trailing for two days In the Michigan Golf Association's flfty-four-hole tournament at Sunny-brook, the three-time City champion came from behind Friday with a record-breaking score of 81. She won the event for the second successive year with a total of 254 strokes, four less than her closest rivals.

Mrs. Harry C. Nobles, of New Hawthorne Valley, who set the pace for two days after setting a new course record of 82 In the opening round, lost her chance for honors by taking a 90 Friday. She finished in a tie for second with Mrs. H.

C. Harr, of Sunnybrook, who scored an 85 in the final round for a total of 260. Mrs. Nobles won second place In a nine-hole playoff, defeating Mrs. Harr, 46 to 48.

Hope Selgnlous Fourth One stroke back of this pair came Miss Hope Selgnious, the tournament's youngest player. The fourteen-year-old Durfee Intermediate School student ran. into some misfortune, but added an 86 to her previous rounds of 88 and 87 for 261 and fourth place. Mrs. H.

B. Stewart, a teammate of Mrs. Joyce at Bob O'Link, needed 99 strokes after opening rounds of 99 and 87, and finished fifth with 270. Mrs. W.

U. Ayllng, another Bob O'Link player, finished with a 95 to tie for sixth position with Miss Caroline Smith at 282, 28 strokes back of the winner. Revenge for Mrs. Joyce It was more than Just a brilliant golf victory for Mrs. Joyce.

First, she considered the triumph in the light of a birthday present ior Micnaei j. Joyce, her husband, who had asked her for just such a gnu secondly, it gave ber a vic tory over Mrs. Nobles, the only woman to beat her In City title medal play. Mrs. Nobles defeated Mrs.

Joyce for the Detroit public links championship In 1930 and this was their first meeting at medal play since that time. Mrs. Joyce won over College, we have run off dual meets at an average of one hour and l'i minutes. The result has been greater Interest and a bigger 'gate' at our meets. We have eliminated some of the cumbersome events and designated our announcer as the most Important official on the field.

An announcer can make or break a track meet." The Normal coach was conferring with the police officials here in preparation for the annual Field Meet at the University of Detroit Stadium on Aug. 19. Supt. John P. Smith said, after his conference with Olds, that the 1933 meet would be a new kind of spectacle for track fans.

"We have given Mr. Olds full charge." he said, "and his program of precision and speed makes us feel certain that we will -have the most highly entertaining track meet In our history. Police Track Meet a two-mile run In 20 years. I advocate throwing it out of the track schedule along with the 220-yard hurdle races, and some of the other cumbersome events that take half an afternoon to prepare for." It Is Olds' opinion that the track coaches and officials must wake up to the situation or else track will slide out of the sports picture His solution Is speed and drama tization for a speed and drama- loving public. "In 20 dual meets which we studied in a survey, the average time for the meets was better than three hours," Olds said.

"The result was that more than half the spectators left the meet before the final event. And those who re mained wanted to see the relay, an event packed with speed and action. "For several years at the Normal 7..
