The Tigers will be a 100 to 1 shot to win the pennant, however. if they succeed in taking at least three out of the five games, Doyle predimed.

Yankee officials anticipated a turnout of close to 40,000 fans for the double bill. in which it is ex- pectod that Vernon (Lefty) Gomez and Charles (Red) Ruffing will be the Yankee choices to hurl against the twin Tiger aces, Tommy Bridg- es and Lynwood (Schoolboy) Rowe.

Gomez, with 19 victories so far. and Rowe, with a record of l2 con- secutive triumphs, are the rival mainstays. They probably will be called upon to start a second time before the series is over.

Miss Jacobs opened the tourna- men by whitewashing Marjorie Sachs of Cambridge, Mass, in straight sets without the loss of a. game.

Miss Jacob's brilliant showing. two weeks after her defeat in the fin- als of the Seabright invitation tournament, served to dispel the fears of some who had visions of the title missing the Atlantic this year with Betty Nuthall, the bounding English star who turned the trick in 1030.

Miss Nuthall eliminated Priscilla Merwin of Los Angeles with almost as much despatch, 6-1, 6-1. She ran Miss Mel-win dizzy from corner to corner with deep backhand sbois and played effectively at-the net.

Lead Provinces For

Second Successive Year For Willingdon Trophy.

(By J. F. Sanderson)

(Damian Press Staff Writer) (CI. Dy Guardian's Special Wire)

LAVAL-SUR-LAC GOLF CLUB. Qua, Aug. l3—A hard hitting team of young golfers from British Coi- umbia retained the Wiliingdon Cup today, defeating four other pro- vinces in teams of foul" play as a prologue to the Canadian amateur championships .

Over the roiling, heavily wooded oval course the team from the Pa- cific Coast rolled up an aggregate of 596 for 36 holes to par one shot off the record for the competition and hold the cup they won for the first time last year at Vancouver.

How They Finished

Four points behind was the On- tario team who led at the half-way mark. The Quebec team was third with an aggregate of 609, Manitoba fourth with 623 and Alberta in last place with 64-4.

Faced with a three point deficit at the half-way mark, the British Columbia. team got hot in the af- ternoon round, swept Ontario from the leadership and coasted to an easy victory. Ken Black, Vancou- ver scion of a famous golfing fam- ily, the last man out, came through with a 71 to equal par and clinch the cup fol- his team.

The Ontario team went to pieces on the last 18 holes, three-putting themselves out of the competition. Sandy Sornerville, four time winner of the Canadian amateur and once of the American, played spotty golf with two rounds of 75. He did amost everything wrong including a five-inch putt on the home green.

Went To Pieces

Don Garrick, hard-hitting Toron- to boy who held the Canadian title in 1925 and 1927, took a. disastrous 80 on the last 68 after a sound 73 in the morning. His short game went to pieces, despite an hour on the practice green during the lunch ho-ur. Phil lllarlcyb, Ontario ama- teur titleholdcr, played steady golf with 72 and 76. Fred l-loblitzel, the ‘Ibronto veteran, was the second man on his team with 74 and 75.

Ken Black, the soft-spoken broad shouldered youth of 22 who went to the final round of the Canadian event last year, led the British Col- umbia team with 146. The "veter- an" of the team. Dick Mcore, who boasts of 26 years, had 147, Stan Leonard, the baby of the team, 20 years, old had 148 and Bob Mor- rison 25. had 156.

The Athletics fell-on three pit.- chers during the inning, collecting l0 hits, including three doubles. off A1 Thomas, Jack Russell and 30 year old Alec McColl. After Jimmy Foxx had hit the lost double and driven in the final run off McOoil, the vfieran hurier held the A's to siic scattered hits during the remainder of the contest. With his long lead, Johnny Mar- cum merely breezed i0 his seventh victory of the year.
