A. U. Close Year's Books i With Record Showing By HAROLD PARROTT To Bill Terry the job of managing the National League entry in the all-star game at the Polo Grounds Tuesday is something more of a nuisance than it is an honor, strange to say.

This became apparent to ear and eye yesterday during various dull moments as the Giants twice cut down the Braves, 9 to 1 and 15 to 0. Forty-five thousand greedily gulped the spectacle of the Giants putting on one of their best hustling exhibitions yesterday, and in the background long queues of fans waited By GEORGE CUWKIE The colleges and the A. A. U. alone among sports bodies close up their year on the date of Uncle Sam's fiscal period, but even with tennis, baseball, horse racing and other sports still facing a long and happy Summer, returns from the outlying districts indicate that the rest of the year will have to march to keep pace with the six months just brought to a close.

For instance, Cavalcade, stout-hearted sleek bit of horseflesh, has already tucked away three big events out ol four the Kentucky, the American and the Detroit Derbies.

Berkeley Bell July 4 Grass Court Surprise Tumbling Texan Defeats Mangin in Some Sub-Par Tennis to Gain the Nassau Country Club Invitation Plate By GEORGE CURRIE RING CHAMPIONS LOSE THEIR CROWNS The fight ring has had its ma jor excitements, too. The largest, naturally, was Max Baer's hashing up Prima Camera's championship defense.

The blowing up of Da Preem's reputation by the playboy of the "squared-circle" contributed a good deal to the gaiety of nations and virtually assured another championship bout in the Fall. Another champion to have his crown knocked off his head was Jimmy McLarnin, the welterweight, by Barney Ross, who now holds both, welterweight and lightweight titles. he said, simply. "That's the way Parrott I'll run the thing, according to my own ideas." More than that Terry would not say. But he has had words with some of his closest friends among the baseball writers already on the subject of his failure to divulge any information on the game.

MAY NOT START IS REPORT Yesterday one heard, however, that Al Lopez, although clearly voted the leading catcher, may not start Tuesday. It was originally Terry's plan to start Van Mungo, but Van has lost his last three starts, and the National Leaguers now seem likely to pitch Lon War-neke of the Cubs, who is very "hot" right now. That Is another reason for Hartnett of the Cubs to catch, for Warncke is used to him. Also it is said that if Gomez starts for the other side, Chuck Klein will be rudely benched by Terry, with Medwicit, Berger and Ott in the outfield. Klein hit only .163 in the Polo Grounds last year, R.

Berkeley Bell, the Tumbling Texan, stands today as the grass court Fourth of July surprise, having taken over for the coming year the guardianship of the Nassau Couatry Club's annual tennis singles invitation plate by right of conquest. Yesterday he defeated Gregory Mangin, 46, The old argument whether Jim Londos had run out on Jim Brown 1 AWlH! 36, g4, 63, 60, in the Tiprltplpv WpII wasn't, favored to I Bob Fraser Called ing for the wrestling title was settled just the other day. Both claimed the title and it couldn't be said for sure who was defending it. Anyhow, Londos won and there win the tournament on the smiling, cool Glen Cove lawn. The issue had been handed over originally to Wil-mer Allison, answer to the 1934 Davis Cup squad's prayer, and to Gregory Mangin, as a classic sporting venture for which they were to do PLAY TENNIS with ELLSW ORTH VINES Former World'g Chamvion Typical Yachtsman was a great rejoicing in the aisles of the Greeks.

COLLEGE ROWING ENJOYS REVIVAL College crew enjoyed a revival, with the New London regatta enticing to its rendezvous one of the) largest, if not the largest, fleets of the fighting. But R. Berkeley Bell had his own plan of campaign. He met Allison first, day before yesterday. And the only way for him to butt Into the pleasant and friendly argument for the plate was to beat Wilmer, which he did in straight sets.

There remained Mangin. Fitting his plan to the occasion, Bell settled the Issue to his own heart's content, winning an uphill battle. One of Oldest Members of Manhasset Bay Club Has Been Chairman of Sound's Victory Class a Long Time Bu Staff Correnio)ident Larchmont, N. July 5 "A typical yachtsman," a member of the Larchmont race committee informed his listeners yesterday as he nodded in the direction of a gray-haired sailor bearing down on the committee boat in a little black-bottomed Victory sloop. And his listeners agreed.

swanky yachts in the history of the THE BACKHAND SLICE The backhand slice is a shot used by most of the champions. It gives better control, especially when the balls begin to get light. The right shoulder is toward the net, the knees are bent, and the weight flows from the left to the right foot during the stroke. The grip is the same as for the backhand drive. However, the racquet is tilted back slightly, as shown Harvard-Yale race.

Ell celebrated the occasion by sweeping the river, with the President of the United, States, come to see his son row No. The demolishing of champions, the setting of world marks, all play second place to the flight of time. But the forecast of the world events in sports often is set by events of the first six months. What the future holds for the champions remains to be seen. Max Baer, upper left, no doubt will hold his laurels.

Helen Jacobs, upper center, leads the pace of the feminine tennis world. Bob Johnson, upper right, today threatens the pinnacle of the mighty Babe. Sidney Wood, lower left, holds the hope of the youthful U. S. Davis Cup team.

Olin Dutra, lower center, rules the golf world, but perhaps only for a time. Glenn Cunningham, lower right, fights the flight of time on the cinder paths but time still leads the field. 6 in the Harvard freshman shell. At Poughkeepsie California won from Washington by three-quarters of a length, after Washington had bliould it ever come to pass that a mold be set for a "type" skipper, previously beaten the Golden Bear and is a left-handed hitter, while Berger swings from the right. Cronin's importation of Jack Russell, the "nothing ball" relief pitcher, and Terry's drafting of Joe Moore make Tuesday's game seem more and more like a struggle for prestige -between the leagues.

They're out to win. but why call it an "All-star" game if the stars have to be benched to win it? Standing out in the Giants' fine run production behind Fitzsimmons and Hubbell the latter pitched the shutout was the smiting of Frank O'Doul. HOW GIANTS WIN BALL GAMES Recipe: How the Giants win. In the second inning of the second game yesterday, with Blondy Rvan on first, Mancuso dunked a pop fly just behind first. Moore recovered It as Ryan pulled into second, but Blondy, didn't stop.

He went on to third in true Cobb fashion, beating the throw which he deflected as he slid. This enabled Mancuso to go from first to second. Result: Men on second and third, ready to score, instead of first and in their own private row on the Pacific Coast over a course of three miles. As we swing into July, once again Bob Fraser, the ageless yachtsman of Long Island, would fit the "base" to a This grizzled veteran docs not go in for little things in a big way or big things in a little way. He races a boat of medium size and does it with the zeal of an ardent skipper.

He is one of the older members of the Manhasset Bay the American Davis Cup squad In Sub-Par Tennis The match was a honey, for all that it also produced some sub-par tennis. Mangin was assailing the net throughout the first two sets and a fair notion of the pressure he was applying can be gleaned from the fact that Bell double-faulted set point in the second. Faced with extinction, Berkeley settled down and snapped out of the daze Into which the New Jersey man's brilliance had thrown him. In the fifth game of the third set he broke up Mangin's favorite net offensive with a streak of teasing lobs to the baseline which were in the end to spell the victory he so earnestly desired. dicates that all is not sweetness and Munm and Babich Now Seen As Facing Real Acid Test light among Its members.

DODGERS WIN, THEN SLAUGHTERED A trip to Philadelphia is always once a year to elect officers, and the out. Those Phillies who didn't comee up with trick basehits that slithered between the infielders received bases on balls and three runs wese in before Manager Stengel gave Beck the hiyh sign to come in to the bench.

Mr. Beck looked around with a wild llRht in his eve for somebodv Most of the fireworks were reserved for the fourth set. Walter Pate had taken over the job of calling footfaults, always the most thankless task on the lines. In the light of past experience, this would have affected Mangin most. Gregory fraught with hysterical action for i to hit.

He couldn't see any specific the Dodgers and yesterday's jaunt target so he threw perhaps the best was no exception. The Dodgers won is an impetuous server, following in second, a double-play setup. Ruth to Tour Japan With Team The ol' horsehide holds Its lure for Babe Ruth Jit Winter as well as Bummer. The Bambino announced today that, after this season is concluded, he will make a tour with the American League baseball team of Japan, Australia and other west breeze a little difficult to fathom and could finish no better than third. swiftly and often rashly to tuck away the return of service off the volley.

At least, he has that reputation among tennis officials. Bell, it wa.s, however, who had the first footfault called against him. It chairmanship is invariable formally handed to Fraser and with it the destinies of the class. His is not strictly a one-track mind, however. The pound of the horses' hoofs also hold for him.

and during the occasional "off" seasons he may be found at the race track. Accniupanird by Wife When Bob does sail, and that's quite often, Mrs. Fraser does not join the large group of "yachtsmen's widows." His wife is a good sailor herself, and frequently accompanies him in the Y.R.A. regattas and special races. During the seasons that prohibit the sailing of the larger crafts on local waters, Fraser goes in for Frostbite dinghy racing.

This sort of sailing over the risky, cold waters in the Fall and early Spring is a test of an honest-to-goodness skip Incidentally, a record fleet turned out for the Larchmont Club's 53d annual regatta yesterday. Through out most of the day, perfect sail 1 for Davis Cup tennis and told the British correspondents his views of the matter. They cabled the news across and there were exchanges between the team captain, R. Norri Williams and the U. S.

L. T. A. officials on this side. As an outsome of the dispute, Wilmer Allison has been summoned abroad and will sail day after tomorrow.

One of the real bright spots in American tennis was the handsome showing of tiny Sarah Palfrey in the Wightman Cup matches In England. The little Down-Easter won both her singles matches against England's best. Including Dorothy Round, and played her way into the quarter-final round at Wimbledon, where it required so experienced and competent a campaigner as Mine. Rene Mathleu to put her out. Miss Jacobs has continued mighty as a champion, despite a ragged start in the French championships.

Our own Dodgers have been unable to march into second division, due to the usual Brooklyn complication, with the Giants and the Yankees carrying on at the top of their leagues. Golf bought Itself two sensations when Henry Cotton, the Britisher, burned up the course with par-breaking scores for three rounds and coasted easily into his own open title, and when Lawson Little) in the British amateur romped off with the astonishing carpenter who turned to golf. James Wallace, by the breath-taking score of 14 and 13. Olin Dutra captured the American open, for all his bad health. put the little man in a high dudgeon.

It had come in the eighth game, with the score 40 30, and automat ing weather prevailed and all of the boats finished early. The going was a little unsteady on the finish fast ball he has thrown this season up against the right field fence. He really had a lot of stuff on the ball, the pent-up, disappointed rage of months. LITTLE BLACK BOOK THROWN AWAY Elmer threw his little black book away long since. In that, he used to jot the weaknesses of hitters around and about the league as he saw them.

This year, opposing batsmen have had no weaknesses so far as Beck is concerned. While Snipe Hanson, the raw-boned Phlllie left-hander, was having an unexpectedly fine day, holding the Dodgers to four hits in this second spasm, the Phillies pounded Owen Carroll the pld Frank Mcrri-well of Holy Cross for seven more runs over the remainder of the game to win by 11 to 2. Perhaps the most severe blow the beat, due to a shift of the winds, and the juvenile skippers In the Snipe and Wee Scot classes caused the first game in the ninth satisfactorily enough, had their ears jolly well pinned back in the second. And while it's better to have won and lost than never to have won at all, that's no way to climb In among the pennant contenders. Emil Leonard, who had twice shut out the Phillies earlier in the season pitched the bulk of the first game.

He was off to a flying start when Sam Leslie hit a home run with two on in the opening He led 5 to 3 going into the last of the eighth. The Quaker rally came. It rarely fails. Only this time, the Phils merely tied the score. Chiozza's triple and Harvey Hendrick's double in the eighth wa.s enough to get the big Belgian out of the box and old Tom Zachary.

relieving Leonard, yielded a double to Johnny Moore that knotted it up. Zachary got an unexpected break when the Dodgers staged a strong counter rally In the ninth. Kocnecke, Cuccincllo and old Tommy himself each hit in a some confusion by crossing the tin ishing line the wrong way. No longer will he seek the seclu-lion near a trout stream in Florida or the Honolulu beaches, for he has been convinced of his tremendous drawing powers as a baseball idol In foreign countries. Several times he was offered fabulous sums to tour Japan, but the rough trip across the Pacific and his continued popularity at home kept him from accepting the offers.

Bell was forcing his opponent brilliantly from all over the court, so that he led 4-love, with his own service coming up. He served a clean ace on the first ball. Mangin raised his hands to heaven and looked a mighty distress. "Play it over," insisted Bell. "You weren't ready." Mangin insisted he was.

The ball is hit Just opposite the right foot. It is necessary to prepare early for the stroke in order to be in the proper position. The weight is on the right foot at the follow-through of this shot. The finish is somewhat like that for the backhand volley only on a larger scale. That is, the arms are drawn apart in making the stroke.

This is a treacherous shot to use while your opponent is at the net, as the under-cut slows down the speed of the ball and gives him more time to get in position to make a kill. Swallow. P. J. Roosevelt; Blue Streak, R.
