GIRLS' EVENT IN TENNIS TOURNEY Check Their Losing Streak 3 stands Batting averages of the Wisconsin Rapids ball club, up to and including the Waupaca game Sunday, show Einar Tangen to be still leading the pack. The high school coach has been clouting the horse-hide at a .500 clip, with 11 hits in twice that many trips to the plate. Schanlaub continues in second place while Tlahmer has replaced Kuenn for third position. Johnny, who has been in a slump the past three games, now rests in fourth.

Mc-Clain and Eastling each moved up a notch, leaving Leo Huber at the bottom of the heap. It is interesting to note that every member of the Heart of Wisconsin club has been poking the ball at .250 or better, and all but three have averages over the .300 mark. The team as a whole has made 151 hits in 4G2 chances for an average of .327, and has scored 88 runs against the opponents' 54 runs, in 14 games. The Wisconsin Rapids club won 11 of these games, Wausau, Mosinee and Kimberly-Lit-tle Chute holding the only victories over the locals. Here are the av erages AB II Ave.

One of the handy answers Gene Tunney had for those who believed Jack Dempsey was mainly responsible for those fat gates at Philadelphia and Chicago was that he also wa3 in those fights on those two nights. In other words, that his presence as a participant on the main event had as much to do with bringing out those who love commercial assault as the Dempsey fellow. But who believes him now? Regardless of what factor we may blame for that lean crowd at the Yankee Stadium a few nights ago, and it was the first time that Tex Rickard ever took it on the chin for a deficit in a heavyweight affair, one can't help but think that Gene will admit, perhaps reluctantly, that Dempsey was quite a drawing card and more than he is.

That Story on Jack One of the best articles written from the ringside the other night was not of the Tunney-Heeney fight but about Dempsey a round-by-round account of Dempsey's face as the fight progressed. It was Dempsey's first heavyweight championship fight as a spectator. Not until the second round did Walsh and Espinosa Are Favored to Win Chicago, Aug. 1 Frank Walsh, the stocky, curly headed professional from the Butte des Mortes club of Appleton, and the dimunitive but mighty Abe Espinosa of Chicago ranked as outstanding favorites to win the Chicago open golf championship at the Idlewild country club today. Carding two brilliant 18 hole rounds, which totaled 138 or six under par, Walsh held the lead before the final 36 holes of play today.

Espinosa, who won the western open crown last week, was one stroke behind, while his brother, Al, was third with 143 strokes. It was consistent brilliancy that gave the Appleton pro his margin Tuesday. He shot the morning round in 68 or four than par and turned in a 70 or two under perfect figures in the second round. His drives were long and straight, his approaches true and his putts bordered on the uncanny. Abe Espinosa shot the best round, however.

On his first journey over the championship course. He carded a new course record, a 65, in which as listed was listed seven birdies. On his afternoon round, he "slumped to a 74 or two over par. r- iff i his famous fighting scow-I appear And in the third round that scowr "deepened" as Tunney brought blood to Heeney's face. And as the fight progressed, he became some-f what "distracted," "spent time waving at friends" and looked "apathe tic" until Heeney's eye began closi ing.

And then that tenth round, when he showed his "old-time tigerish activity" and around tha ring" until he spoke "excitedly" to friends and hurried out "almost unnoticed." Gene Got the Rap Somehow or other, it seems strange that Tunney should hav been given the "raps" as he left th ring. It was the same' sort of a rap that he had had handed him after all his important fights. When he beat Tommy Gibbons, the ones' in the racket discredited the victory by saying Dempsey had softened Tommy up. When he took that handsome Frenchman Carpentier over, thtf boys, said he had taken over another soft guy. And there was that "hollow shell" story in the first Dempsey fight and that seventh round episode in that second Dempsey fight.

Now, with the Heenej fight fast passing into history, you hear it said that he didn't do anything except what was expected of him and that he beat a fellow who was just a big bum, and a hand-picked bum. TEN ERRORS TO BREWS' CREDIT Chicago, August 1 If it hadn't been for a train, Jack Leli-velt and his ambidextrous Milwaukee Brewers may have had a black mark chronicled against them in the all-time American association record book today. At thojr final 1928 appearance at Louisville' Tuesday, the Brewers committed no less than 10 errors ia a game which was called at the end of the eleventh inning with the score knotted at 11-all, so they could catch a train for Colur-bus. If they had played the contest to a decision, they might have shattered the error making record of 12, established by Columbus in one game on August 29, 1926.

BY HERBERT W. BARKER (Associated Tress Sports M'riter) Groggy and reeling from a sue cession of rude blows suffered since they invaded the west, the Yanks temporarily at least have checked promising losing streak promising, that is, to the rest of the American league. After taking three straight on the chin at Cleveland, the champions turned on their tormentors yester day and beat the Indians, 12 to 9, in a wild battle. This victory profited the Yanks nothing, however, ex cept to keep the Philadelphia Atlv letics, riding the crest of an eight game winning streak, five and a half games away from them in the stand ings. Pitchers Ineffective Miller Huggins' pitchers did everything in their power to hand tha Indians their fourth straight but Cleveland, out of pure generosity, declined the irift.

Waite Hoyt and Wiley Moore both were pounded ou of the box and Herb ronnock was not especially effective. The Athletics apparently have the St. Louis Browns' number. For the fourth straight day and the ninth straight time, the A's beat the Browns, this time by 8 to 4. Six home runs featured the battle, two by Haas of the Mackmen.

Taking over the Boston Red Sox 7 to 2, the Detroit Tigers registered their seventh victory in their last eight games. Vic Sorrel held Carri- gan's crew to four hits, one of them a home run by Charlie Ruffing.

Johnny Kuenn and Stub Huber are tied with 4 triples apiece, and Kuenn leads in home runs with 3. Tlahmer has stolen the most bases, 4, and also leads in sacrifice hits, with 7 on the books for him. Tonight's game may see some changes in these statistics, compiled by the Ink Slinger at great loss of sleep and patience.

1 Unless there's a startling turn for the better, America faces the imminent prospect of faring worse than ever before in the Olympic track and field events. While Yankee brawn and skill in the field has been piling up a com manding point lead for the team, the runners and hurdlers have suf fered a smashing series of rever sals. Only One Second The Americans thought they had reached the low ebb at Taris four years ago when they won only one flat race the 200 metersand five track events altogether, includin the relays and the hurdles. They haven't been better than second in any race in the present Olympiad so far and finished that well only once outside of the women events, Outside of the prospects in to day's two finals the 110 meter hurdles and the 200 meter dash the chief hopes of averting an Am erican shutout on the track appear to rest in the 400 meters flat where Ray Barbuti, former Syracuse star, and Joe Ticrney, of the New York A. have been going well, and in the Marathon where Joie Ray leads, the best team America has ever had in this feature.

Prospects May Fade These bright prospects, however, may fade as have others, the Yankees entered today's races with the new world's record-holder in the hurdles, G. C. of South Africa to beat and the German flier, Helmut Koernig, who equalled the Olympic record in the trials, as a 200 meter obstacle for Jackson V. Scholz, Charley Paddock and Henry Gumming. The 400 meter runners especially face none too pleasant a prospect when the field against them includes such stdrs as Douglas Lowe, Briton, who beat Lloyd Hahn, Ser- Martin, the world's record-holder, and six others in a thrilling battle in the 800 meters yesterday.

Olympics In Nutshell Today's program. 200 'meter dash semi-finals and finals. 110-meter hurdles finals. Pole, vault trials and finals. 3,000 mrter steeplechase trials.

1500 meter run trials. 800 meter run (women) trials. Yesterday's features: Douglas Lowe, Great Britain, broke Olympic record to win 800 meters final; Lloyd hahn finished fifth. Ed Hamm, United States, broad-jumped 25 feet 4 3-4 inches, to break Olympic mark and win cham pionship; Alf Bates, Tenn. state, finished third.

Chicago girl, Elizabeth Robinson, captured 100 meter title for women in world's record time of 12 1-5 seconds. Lillian Copeland, Californian, was second in discus throw for women won by Halina Konopacka, Toland, H. TEAS for the Aetna Life" Chicago White Sox already had piled up a six run lead and eventually came out on the long end of a 7 to 5 score. The St. Louis Cardinals stretched their National league lead to five games by pounding the Phillies into submission, 18 to 5, getting 16 of their runs in four successive innings.

Jakie May weakened in the late innings and Brooklyn beat the second place Reds, 3 to 2. Vance allowed seven hits and struck out eight. The New York Giants and Chicago Cubs divided two at the Polo grounds. The Giants won the first, 8 to 7, by scoring five runs in the ninth inning. Charley Root set down the Giants in the nightcap, 10 to 4.

Meadows and Brame were hit hard at Boston where the Braves downed the Corsairs, 11 to 5.. Meadows was rocked for five runs in the first inning and Brame for four in the third. PICK BY ELIMINATION New York, August 1 (.1) The heavyweights lacked a king today but the machinery for the selection of a successor to the throne was set up and ready for action. By voluntary abdication rather than by force of a foeman's fists, Gene Tunney, who rose from the obscurity of a bank clerk to the prominence that awaits the king of fighters, has vacated his throne and returned to private life. He becomes- the second heavy weight title-holder to decide that the ring holds nothing more for him but unlike the confusion that fol lowed the retirement of Jim Jeffries in 1905, Gene leaves behind him, as a heritage, a well-ordered plan de signed to choose from all the con tenders a logical successor to the crown.

Into the hands of Tex Rickard the retiring champion has placed the responsibility of conducting an elimination tournament. Richard plans to brgir. his elimi nation series next month, drawing his candidates from among such fighters as Johnny Risko, Tom lleeney, Paulino Uzcudun, Sharkey, Knute Hansen and Phil Scott. 16-Year-Old Girl Sets World Record Chicago, August 1 Sever al months ago, a girl timidly approached the secretary of the cen tral amateur athletic union committee and asked: "If my kid sister can run 50 yards in six seconds, do you think she is good enough to enter the Chicago bankers' track meet next week?" "Good enough?" shouted the sec retary. "Why she would be a world's champion!" Yesterday, it all came true when the kid sister, sixteen year "old Elizabeth Robinson of Chicago, conquered a brilliant international field to win the women's 100 meter dash at the Olympic games at Amsterdam.

She ran the distance in 12 1-5 seconds, verifying her sister's state ment. And Mie won the world's championship as the secretary pre dicted. But the greatest item in the triumph was the fact that it was only her fourth race for a prize. ONE HON)R FOR BOSTON The highest percentage ever made by a pennant-winning club in the National League was made by the Boston club 18D2. They had tin .830 percentage.
