llltii s on RETAINS SINBiEillliE

Stuart Dickson. leading Island tgnnls player for the past several years. successfully defended his singles titls yesterday by defeating Don Gass in three straight sets 5-2, ‘i-b, 6-4. »._

Wielding a potent racket with fine stroking base drives Dickson worked up into net position to “kil1" many of his opponent's re- turns. Gass volleyed well and was effective in his services, particu- larly the second set, but lacked the court generalship of his rnore- experienced adversary. Dropping the opening set 6-2, Gass came back strong in,the second set to even up at five all with fine serv- ices and vollsying that drew ap- plause from the gallery. Dickson, however, reeled off the final two games in short order. The final so‘. was productive of brilliant ten- nis but saw Dickson i.n complete command of the play.

Dickson received generous ap- plause at the conclusion of the match. - __

Hands Over President- a ship to Charles F. Adams.

Associated Press

(Br Bill Kins. ~ Sports Writer)

(A. P- By Guardian's Special Wire) l

BOSTON, July 3l—Emil Fuchs! President of Boston Braves slnce§ 1925. today forfeited his majority , stock holdings to Charles F., Adams, his vice-president, and rob-l bed baseball of one of its most colorful figures by returning to his legal profession.

Fuchs - ounced his retirement! as club president today but Adamsl will not take actual possession un-i til tomorrow when B111 McKech-- hie, who has managed the Braves since 1930, will be installed as pro. tem head of the last place club. '

Fuchs‘ retiremert was no sur- prise. Months ago it became known (ha/t Adams had given him until August 1 either to regain control of the club, by recovering his own pledged stock and buying out Adams’ minority holdings, or step

-out without further ado.

Although unwilling to add a major league baseball club to his already heavy burdens, Adams will be forced to run the club until

3 I Ford Frick, youthful President of

the National League, can dig up a purchaser, to take over the fran- chise.

Although Fuchs’ financial re- verses are no secret to baseball circles, ‘the Braves books reveal that his investment in that club was a highly profitable one. In- siders alleged‘ that Fuchs invested but $35,000 in the club when he came to Boston 10 years ago and since then has collected more than $300,000 as salary and expenses.

hand to witness a very fine day's Northern Yesterday- Threatening weather during the morning and up until starting time in the afternoon .was prob- ably the reason that a much larger crowd was not. present. A very strong wind was blowing which

added discomfort to fans and drivers alike by ke clouds of dust sweeping across grounds.

Very keen .,. tition was evi- dent in each class and close fin- ishes kept everybody, right on their toes st all times.

2.12 TBOT

The 2.12 Trot was the first class called and it brought to the wire Heather Belle, Morning Ex- press, Helen D. and Lusty Frisco. Miss Madryre having been drawn. After several scores they got away for the first heat with Heather Belle at the pole and Helen D. in ' second position, Morning ax- press tlurd and Lusty Frisco on the outside. They held these pos- itions until coming into the stretch in the 2nd half when Lusty Frisco made a slight break and Morning Express slipped into second position. Dusty Frisco quickly got back on the trot and posed Helen D. to get third. This heat was the fastest of the day

form in winning it handily in 2.12 flat.

The second heat was practically a repetition of the first with Heather Belle trotting smoothly from start to finish, winning the heat easily in 2.13 1-4. Morninz Express lost his chances by mak- ing many bad breaks as he did also in the first heat. Lusty Frisco was second in this heat and Helen D. fourth. Clarence Schurman drove a nice third heat with Helen D. getting second about a neck ahead of Lusty Frisco. He trailed Heather Belle for most of the mile and then pulled out showing a burst of speed in the stretch. Fred Slicky Cameron, an old cam- paigner who was rated one of the best drivers in the Marltimes when lie was in his prime was given a great hand by the crowd as he blloied Heather Belle to victory.

2.19 TROT AND PACE

_ There weresevsn. starters inwlllus class and they got away on the fourth score with Silver Doctor at the pole. Pat McKenna in second position snapped the pole on the first turn and was never headed. Trixie Volo made a gallant drive in the first heat but did not quite have the stuff. Jar-dine with Claire Napoleon started out to mow them down on the, back stretch but made a break rounding the last. turn and fell back to third. In the second heat Mac Volo made a great bid for "first place and was just nosed out by Winnie Winkle in 2.15 1-2. In the third heat Trixie Volo and llflarnond Mac made a peso race for second position but neither could get to Winnie Winkle who again went a nice heat in 2.15 1-2. Claire Nap- oleon rulned her chances by mak- ing disastrous breaks in every heat although she showed the class of the field when she was on the pace. __ _

2.2a» raor ‘anifrscn

Soviet with owner Andrew Perry up, drew the pole in the slow class but made a. break on the first turn yidding the lead to Leona who went on to win the heat in 2.13. Bob Oboy made the drive to the wireiin each heat and was second three times. The sec- ond. heat was very much like the ' first with Leona winning in 2.17

1-2 and Bob Oboy again furnish-

ing the drive to the wire. In the

third heat Icons and Balbo were

in collision on the last turn which , smashed mom's sluky and her chances of getting ’ P1809» Bud Cow had taken the lead in this heat on the back stretch in the second half and it is doubtful if Leona. could have headed him even if the accident had not hap- pened. Soviet made breaks right through the mos but trotted real well when on his stride.
