Consider Lenglen "How would Suzanne Lenglen have done against the girl playing In this tournament?" "Why Suzanne would have cleaned out this field without ever using her backhand," she came back, "I could have cleaned them out myself.' "We bad great players In my day. Take Susanna, and take Mary Browne, Elisabeth. Ryan, Kitty McKane God free and myself. And Helen Wills at the tall end. I honestly don't think any of these girls could have com peted with us, even If pictures of ua in our long sklrta do look funny." I Just for the sake of argument, did Suzanne, Molla or any of that group have a better service than Alice Mar bJe'a, a superior forehand drive than Pedrzejowska'a, or a more deadly drop-shot than Llzana'a? Helen Getting Along Perhaps not," hedged Mrs. Mai- lory, who for years now ha held responsible position In a Fifth avenue store. "But Suzanne's service was Just as good as Marble's, and the teat of her game was better. With her ac curacy, Suzanne didn't have to both er about drop-ehota." Noting Helen Jacobs' difficulty with a girl aha might not have given a game to a couple of years ago. It waa suggested that Helen finally might have lost some of that re markable will to win that carried her to the top. "No," said Molla, shaking her black, ahlngled bob. "She still wants to win or she wouldn't be out there. I know. But you've got to remember that Helen Isn't aa young as she used to be. she must be crowding thirty." SACRAMENTO, fSept.

Although the sports curtain has definitely been rung up on King Pig akin and thoughts of 70-yard punt and lateral paasea have Just about crowded action on the baseball dia mond Into the dim background for another year, this department Is to day going to have practically Its last fling at the na tional pastime. First, about this Rudy York, the big. full-blooded Indian catcher for the Detroit Tigers who has been swatting home runs wltn a g u a t o that makes even the mighty Babe Ruth's beat ef forts seem rather mild In comparison. There has been so much fan-talk about the game'a newest sensation that It la only fitting that a wee bit of hla past record be set down for local John Q. Addict's to peruae at their leisure or otherwise. York came up to the Detroit Tigers aa a first baseman by way of Mil waukee In the American Association from Beaumont In the Texaa league. He already had quite a reputation as a slugger, his powerful stick work winning htm the moat valuable play er award In the A. A. In 1936 and ditto In the Texaa circuit In 1936. He waa recalled by the Tigers this spring mainly to fill In for Hank Green berg, who had broken his left wrist two years ago In the world series. But, Greenberg's wrist had completely healed, he waa back In his old-time form, and It became quickly apparent that there wouldn't be a guy named York playing first base for Detroit while a fellow named Oreenberg was still around. this year and has had plenty of say In that club'a sensational spurt to the position It now com mands In the pennant race 35 games ahead of the pack, the greatest lead enjoyed by any team In organized baseball. New ark Is owned by Colonel Jacob Rupert and his Yankee organi zations Oordon'a only competition for the Laeerri berth la Don Heffner, who has been filling In now and then when Tony rests hla weary doga. However, while a great fielding sec ond baseman, Heffner la considered too frail to stand the grind of dally major league play. So It looks tike one of Oregon 'a own boys will be playing -with "them Yanks" one of these days, probably next season. HOW THEY: CT4 V press) W. L.

It waa hard to keep York, who had hit .334 with Milwaukee and driven in 149 runs, on the bench. The only spot where the Tlgera could use the Indian was at third base, and after a short trial at the hot comer, Cochrane realized that York waa no third baseman. Ground balls handcuffed him, al though he did have a rifle arm. Then came York'a break, although It was almost disastrous to hla manager, Cochrane waa beaned, went to the hospital and George Tebbeta, a young ster, started wearing the mask and protector for the Tigers. It was not long, however, until Trbbrts faded from regular duty. Recalling that York had started out as catcher. Cochrane, who wait mw recovered from the bean ball Injury, decided to try the husky fellow back of the plate. The result Is well-known to alt baseball lovers. York, playing reg ularly every day, started blasting American league pitchers and fen res. and to date, has shown no nl ens of a letup. According to expert reports from the east, York haa a smooth, powerful awing that seems rather effortless In comparison to Greenberg and othor big league sluggers. However, he gets aa much distance as any player In the game, and considerably more than most of them. And, what makes him extremely valuable la the fact that toe haa shown no preference for pitchers, hitting equally as well against southpaws as righthanders. He la 54 years old and clouts from the right side of the plate. (By The Associated Coast Sacramento . San Diego ........ San Francisco.. Los Angeles.... Portland Oakland Seattle .
