With the match score now standing 3-0 In favor of the United States, the two singles matches tomorrow, concluding the final American tie. will be played merely as a matter of formality. Immediately after the last ball CHESTER. was hit today, Bernon S.

Prentice, non-playing United States captain, announced that Shields and Wood would sail for England June 6 to join George Lott and Johnny Van Ryn, the European contingent of the American Davis cup team. Together they will meet the winner of the Davis cup play in the European sons, and. If victorious, throw their strength against the French, long holders of the most coveted trophy of the tennis world. It was the tremendous strength and pe4 nf the blond haired Wnod snd the tall.

ENVIRONMENT didn't help the Tigers to throw off the yoke of adversity in Navin field Friday afternoon. For in a rough and tumble affair with the Indians they took it on the chin again. This time the margin of Cleveland's superiority as reflected in the score, 9 to 2, was not due as much to poor quality of pitching as to the weakness of the defense. Four of the runs that helped to bury the Tigers would have been avoided had Johnson clung to a fly ball in the first inning with the chance to retire the Indians scoreless. Two more resulted from the almost unrestricted running of the visitors on the bases.

In the course of their frolic on the runways the Indians stole seven bases, including the theft of the plate and third base. The damage was done in the first four innings. The last of these was pitched by Hoyt, who relieved Bridges, starting the fourth and yielded three runs. Tt Maimed!

But the riot in the first Inning, which, among other things, nearly ruined Johnny Stone when he collided with the left field fence while in pursuit of a double off Sewell's bat, determined the result. Two were out and Averill was on base as the result of a pass when Johnson let Morgan's fly get away from him. Vosmik tripled and Kamm walked. Together they stole, and while Schang held the ball, Kamm stole third. Then Sewell doubled and Stone's head bumped the wall.

Brown Goes the Route. Clinton Brown, a giant of a right hander, went the route for the Indians without much trouble, although he bore down on every pitch. He had the Tigers blanked until Johnson opened the sixth with a triple and scored on Harvey Walker's single. The other run came in the ninth on a scratch single by Akers, a good one off Koenig's bat and Schang's long fly to vusmiK. Hoyt's performance subsequent to the, fourth inning was too good to be wasted under the circumstances, but there was no alternative for the Tigers, who got into a hole in the initial inning and never could get above It.

Porter's double and Averlll's single gave the Indians one in the second. The third produced another for Cleveland. Kamm singled and stole. He continued to third on Schang's poor throw and scored when Sewell singled. Hoyt Gets off Badly.

Hoyt relieved Bridges at the start of the fourth and the Indians scored three more. Porter singled, Burnett popped to Hoyt. Averill walked, and Morgan and Vosmik singled. In these four turns at bat the Tigers Were Kamm It Saft at Third. Cup Victory turned the tide today against the two young Argentines.

So powerful were many of the Americans' shots that the racquets of the South Americans could do little more than twist them aside. Thay were aided by the Bervlce weakness of Del Castillo and the number of comparatively easy shots he converted into errors. In the hard fought second set, which the Argentines carried three times to deuce by their brilliant play at the net, the Americans broke through Del Castillo's service three times to prolong the play. in Big "Auto Race Brodie and Bob Farquhar covered the lap in 47 3-5 seconds to beat out their Eastern rivals by less than a yard.

Eddie Tolan, of Michigan, Also Goes to Finals in Both Sprints. Philadelphia, Miiy 29. (A.P.) Shortly after the mighty air Armada of the American army had roared in dazzling formation over the premises this afternoon, the track and field forces of the far west swept Franklin field with a succession of performances, forecasting their triumph over the east for the tenth time in 11 years. Qualifying tests In 11 of the 15 events making up the Intercollegiate AAAA championships, marked hy two record-shattering performances, satisfied a handful of onlookers that the champion Southern California team and Stanford will have the battle for team honors tomorrow all to themselves. Stanford Leads Qualifiers.

ted by the rangy and sensational Ben Eastman, who lived up to his enthusiastic advance notices by qualifying easily in the 440 and 880 yard runs, Stanford overcame two heart-breaking setbacks to capture 1R qualifying places and lead the park. The Indians monopolized the field events, qualifying four men in the discus and three in the shot put. Their chances of beating Southern California tomorrow were jolted hy the elimination of Captain Roger Smith in the hurdles and Hector Dyer, the 220-yard champion. These two stars failed to recover from leg Injuries. Smith did not compete and Dyer was eliminated in the trials as he pulled up lame again.

Wykoff Seta Mark. Southern California, paced by flying Frank Wykoff, who set a new 100-yard dash record of 9.6 seconds in his semi-final heat, collected 13 qualifying places with its powerful and well-balanced squad. The Trojans placed in 10 of the 11 preliminary events. Wykoff was in great form in the "1(10." After a 10-second romp in his first heat, he came back in the semi-finals to win by six yards from Al Kelly of Georgetown in the new record time for the 55-year-old eastern meet. It was short of his own best time of 9.4 seconds, which a'ands as he American record, but displaced the former meet mark of tl seconds, first set by Al Leconey rf Lafayette in 1922, equalled by Continued on Page 10, You Might Say This Was Hole Made In Drive Omaha, May 29.

FIELD IS FORMIDABLE New Stars of Roaring Road as Well as Veterans Will Compete. INDIANAPOLIS, May 29. (A. America's automobile classicthe 800-mile race to be run tomorrow brought thousands ct speed fans to Indianapolis tonight. The same festive spirit which has made the event one of the most colorful In sportdom prevailed as the visitors milled about in hotels or lined up their cars at the gates of the speedway.

Starting at 10 o'clock In the morn ing, the rough riding race will be challenge to the skill and courage- of the 40 contestants. The elements have not been kind to the 2Vj-mll brick course, and pilots have found new hazards lurking on the hairpin curves. Will Bid for Record. Undaunted by two fatalities and other crashes in practice, the drivers are prepared to attack the speed record of 101.03 miles an hour set by Peter De Paolo in 1925. Prizes totaling $100,000 will be distributed with $20,000 going to th winner.

The surprising number of near stock cars that won places in the starting lineup, the Cummins oil burning speedster, Leon Duray's two-cycle hope, and improvements to the special race jobs have combined to stimulate interest in tomorrow's classic. Attention also will be riveted on. Billy Arnold, Chicago, who nearly broke the record In winning last year and who will be behind the same eight-cylinder front drive. Cantlon Entry Speedy. Louie Meyer, American driving champion in 1928 and 1929.

and William (Shorty) Cantlon, who finished second last May, have special 16-cylinder racers that are considered most likely to give Arnold trouble in the dash for tha Individual lap prize money. Arnold, Meyer and Cantlon ara conceded to have the fastest cars In th race, with Wild Bill Cummings and Duray right behind them. Cantlon's car is said to be caps of 200 miles an hour. The Detroit driver, however, has had1 diffl-lu'ty In getting ready for the raca i.nd his speed ambitions may have been checked. The oil burner expects to go t.trough without a stop, unless tire trouble develops, at about 93 miles hour.

JOE'S BEATS ST. THERESA NINE St. Mary's of Royal Oak Wins Title. St. Joseph's nine scored a 13 to 6 victory over St.

Theresa's at Belle Isle Friday afternoon. The St. Joe's have one more game to play with St. Anthony's and victory in that contest next week will bring them the championship of the first division of the Catholic league. Our Ladv of Lourdes nine, previ ously unbeaten, fell before Visita tion, 16 to 15, in a game at River Rouge, but school authorities will probably protest the game because of the use of an ineligible player by the winners.

Favorable action on the protest will give Lourdes the eronri division title. In other sec ond division contests St. Mary's of Redford defeated St FatricK's, to 8, while Holy Name won from St Rose, 7 to scoring four runs in the last inning.

He can't get along without the reserve strength to call on In the late Innings of a close ball game, when every pitch counts and on faltering moment means a gam lost.

Brandt didn't have that extra stamina last year. Al i it-suit he had to quit trying to start games. He became a relief pitcher and over the span of the entire season won only four times. Now he has won eight straight, taming the Giants yesterdsy for th third time. Miss I.unn, seen finishing 1,000 meter event at London, In which she set a new world's record for women.

Auteuil, France, May 29. (A.P.) The last of the American contenders for the French hard cojrts singles championships passed out of the picture today with the sur prising defeat of George Lott In the quarter-finals of the men's di vision and the elimination of Miss Elizabeth Ryan from the women's play. Miss Ryan, who has lived In England so long since leaving California that she is now more definitely allied with the British forces. went down before the fine stroking of the Spanish champion, Senorita Ella de Alvarez. 5-7, 6-3 and 6-4 in the quarter-final round, but Lott, veteran of the American Davis Cup squad and favorite to gain th nnal round, went down before a comparative unknown.

Lo Beats Himself. His conqueror was G. P. Hughes, an Irishman who lost to Big Bill Tilden In four sets in this same tournament last year. Today Hughes took advantage of Lott'e irritability and apparent over-desire to win, in five hard sets, 3-6, 4-6.

6-2, 6-4 and 6-4. Thus the last of the American challengers followed the path of Johnny Van Ryn yesterday and for the first time in several years there will be no overseas challenger to battle the French tn the finals. Up to today It had been regarded as a certainty that Lott would face Jean Borotra and probably beat him for the single titles Henri Cochet has been unable to defend this year because of illness. But Hughes told his friends before the match that he was going to beat lxitt and arter two sets he let the American beat himself. Lott's temper exploded over a line decision in the third set and the Chicago veteran immediately tossed the set away, 6-2.

Another outburst punctuated the fourth game of the fourth set and thereafter the atmosphere never cleared for the American. Irishman Plays Calmly. Hughes kept calmly at his work, forcing Lott to play the kind of game he wanted, while the Irishman covered the court well and handled all sort of difficult shots. But it was Lott's errors, rather than the Irishman's brilliant play, that decided the issue. Christian Boussus.

French Davis Cup youngster, reached the semifinal bracket with Hughes by de- icaung uiorgio ue steiant, of Italv, in five sets. 6-4, 6-3, 3-6, 2-6 and 9-7. Continued on Page 10. Ball Club The left-hander, whose pitching so iar mis season would make any one of four clubs in the league a standout contender, came up to the Braves In the spring of 1928 from Seattle In the Pacific Coast league. His home is in Spokane and he went to Seattle from the sand lots of the home town.

Until this season opened and Brandt started his spectacular splurge, his chief claim to fame was ability to beat the Brooklyn Robins. Sick or well, the Robins ell looked alike to him. But now he's a whole ball club jn Fill Me-Kerhnle's eyes. And pretty good one at that. VAN BIBBER NAMED GRID COACH AT FTER trailing Southeastern's runners throughout the afternoon, Eastern scored a victory in the high jump, last event of the day, to win the City Relay Carnival at Central's athletic field Friday with a total of 18 points.

South eastern, which failed to place in any of the field events, was second with 17. Of the 16 schools which qualified teams for the finals only Northern failed to score. The Eskimos eligible for two events, the broad jump and the high jump, failed even to put in an appearance. Central scored 12, Hamtramck 11, Highland Park, 8, Northeastern 6, Pershing, Western and Redford 5 each, U. of D.

and Denby 3 each, Northwestern and Mackenzie 2 and Cass 1. Eastern scored only one first place, that in the high jump, but the well balanced squad which Wednesday qualified teams in every event, came through with three second places, one third and two fourths, McKlbbon Is Disqualified. The Indians lost another second place when George Mead, referee of the meet, disqualified the Indian shot put quartet because of the presence in he lineup of Alfonso McKibbon, who qualified for the city championship meet last Saturday but failed to compete. It was heid that McKibbon, who put the shot 43 feet inch Friday, would have easily placed in the champion ship competition and thus been rendered Ineliblgle for the relay carnival, which was designed expressly for novices. Eastern's high jumpers were led by James Martin, who leaped 5 feet 9 Inches, Aubrey Pearson cleared the bar at 5 feet 8 inches and the other two.

Julius Redmond and Walter Bierkamp, topped the bar at feet 5 Inches for a total height of 23 feet, which was one foot better than Northeastern, runner-up In the event. Jungaleer Runners Best.

He had everything he has today except th strength to keep using It." "Yep," said Brandt, a big, quiet, powerful fellow who looks as though he'd r.ever been sick a day in his life.
