While dnly Budge could have topped the men's list, there was a. slight surprise in the placing of Helen Hull Jacobs In the No. 1 position on the US 'Women's seeded list; The seeding commlt- tee evidently based this rating v on the Berkeley, Calif., veteran's defeat . of Alice Marble in the "Wimbledon semi-finals, although Miss Jacobs has not played in competition since she sprained her ankle in losing the Wimble don final to Helen Wills Moody.

Come Saturday the national rule providing for seven inning games, at the end ahead. DuTgan declares he did not agree to nine innings. V As a second . point .of protest, jan Incident reminiscent of last Friday's long deadlock gamee is related. It seems that the first base umpire, after being "pushed around" when he made a close decision, "chased" three players of the Western Auto team, but the umpire at the plate allowed them to remain in the game, which is also contrary to the rules as cited by the Dog House manager. He also lists one Wes tern Auto player as ineligible. . The Dog House team boasts six players with batting averages of .300 or over: Curran ..312, Werner .316. Gray .300, Dag gett .357. Orleman .305 and James .420. It was indicated that the vis itors' starting battery would be Daggett and Werner. Bonney, Lavon Baker.
