Sees Jealousy As Outcome 0f Ranking Tests

unw vonx, Sept. ll-Official

{Ennis ranking lists create nothing

except bad feellnBs and Shmllfi b0

abofishcd like any other nuisance, declares Henry (Bunny) ' Austin.

England's second-ranking star and Davis Cup are.

"I believe that ranking lists do as much harm as ahything else in the game. leading to jealousy and unfriendly rivalry which would not exi<l without them. and which should have no place in a some which was originally designed as a NCICDIUOII to create friendship

' and good feelings," Austin told Gayle Talbot in‘ London.

"It is no doubt, true that to the enthusiastic follower of lawn ten-_ ls ranking lists are interesting, and that it is amusing and fascinating for lhcm to discurs the rival merits of the players whom they follow. But illcse discussions should take plllcc in the club lounges and should not. appear in print," Aus- lin said. .

Austin's blast against the annubl fall picking pastiche scarcely could be atiributed to personal displeas- urc. The steady Briton bu. been accordcd fourth place in the world's “first. l0" for the last two years and ls certain to be ranked equally hlqh this season. l-Ie might even climb illin third place at the ex- Wlw of Jack Crawford, the Aus- trnllllll star who has had s poor sea-son. But he doesn't believe it. is either fair or possible to rank the wnrlrrs players accurately.

“Allowing.” he says. "for the fact thnf Frcd Perry is indisputably the world's best player. and that Gott- frlcd von Cramm, Jack Crawford and Dona-id Budge should fill the next three place: in that I'll. what can we do next?"

Austin Comes In

The obvious answer is of course. that Austin can, first off, plant hlnlcll in there somewhere. Even "Hush Budge, the meteoric Yo“!!! American. did score a. surprisinl win over Austin in the Wimbledon quarter-finals, the ease with which "Bunny" reversed the verdict rln Jhcir Davis Cup ncounter made it extremely doubtful that the ION youngster can be ranked _lh"arl of him this year. st least.

‘Rut Austin leases himself en- iil"'1v out of the current argument. Ego finds plenty of other to debate l u .

"After those four (Perry. Von jprsmm. Crawford, Budge) theft were seven other players who milht " ind a place tn the world's first 1th." he continued.

CAVAGNABO

Ail-American Final

Thus Allison advanced to the championship round in which he will meet Sidney Wood in the first all-American final since 1932. Wood gained the final by conquering Bryan Grant of Atlanta, 0a., in four sets, 6-2, 4-6. 12-10, 6-2. Wood and Allison will play for the title tomorrow starting at three p.m. E.D.T.

Allison's surprising rout of Perry, who won the United States title in 1983 and 1984. ompletely overshad- owed Helen Jacobs’ fourth succes- sive annexation of the women's championship. Coming as sort of anti-climax to the Perry-Allison match, the Berkley, Callifl, girl van- quished her victim of last year's finals, Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fabyan of Brookline. Mass, in straight sets, 6-2, 6-4.

Béllitd Rally

Except for a belated rally in the eighth and ninth games of the sec- ond set, Mrs. Fabyan, Just as she did a year ago, found it practical- ly impossible to handle Miss Jacob's high-kicking chop shots- Although she won without a. great deal of ef- fort Miss Jacobs‘ title defence was not her best showing of the tourna- ment.

Allison never appeared in better physical condition or more keen for victory than he did today. Every chance he got he stormed the net and more often than not blocked the defending champions returns. l-Ie produced a thunderbolt service that at times almost blasted Perry off the court.

Fell Hard to Turf

Serving in the seventh game of the first set, Allison rifled a flat forehand to the lefthand corner of Perry's baseline. Perry ran across the court and reached for the ball with his backhand. He lost his bal- ance and‘ fell hard to’ the turf, landing on his right side. He got to his feet rubbing his side.

Perry appeared hurt, but didn't ask for time out. After the game an oflicial consulted with Perry and it was learned that Perry had re- quested s. doctor. After the match two physicians examined him and said he had shaken loose the right kidney from its attachments. The medical men said it would be a month before he can play again.

Prior to his fall Perry never had

and thereafter, while his side un- doubtedly was painful and handi- capped his play. it is doubtful-if all the pressure in the world could have stopped Allison.

After the match Perry declined to talk about his injury and. phil- osophically and cryptlcally said:

"I had a licking coming to me, but it came a couple of days too soon."

Wood Erratic

In gaining the final Wood played up and down the ladder of form. In the first set he was virtually un- beeiable by means of great volley- ing.in the forecourt. In the second set he was hopelessly erratic trying to bring off those shots.

Grant, who distinguished himself yesterday by ‘eliminating the high- ly-fsncied Don Budge, was below the form he displayed in that con- test. He lacked staying qualities ill the protracted third‘ set, featured by long and listless pat-ball ex- mmges. Both players were nearly exhausted after the 22 games. but Bitsy was all tuckered out when they came back from a rest period for the fourth. In a few minutes Wood gained a 5-1 lead and then permitml Grant to win the seventh at love. Wood boledown and took the eighth for the match.

Louis M a kes Sh0rtW0rk Of Sparring Mates

(By Edward J. Nell Associated Press Sports Writer)

POMPTON LAKES, n. .1., sept. ll-The choclate soldier from De- troit. Mlch., Joe Louis. lost his temper with a couple of impert- incnt. sparring partners this bright. sunny afternoon in the pleasant Jersey countryside.

As a result all the warmth and sleepy good humor of the day_de- parted simultaneously from the chocolate soldier and for the spar- ring partners. Instantly there was two hits. two runs, and two errors on the part of the impertinent helpers.

The brown boy who battles Max Baer in the Yankee Stadium, Sept. 24 in what looms as a return of the dd 31-000000 gates. never looked better than he did cooling off Lou “Tigel” Flowers, a big negro from, Long Island, and Sal- vatore Rlggirello, a 2l0-pound It- alian, who once was a considerable prospect.

For some time Flowers has hur- sed the idea that he can lick Joe Louis, and today with 1.500 look- ing on. he apparently decided to prove it. l-Ie whacked Joe a vic- ious right on the chin in the sec- ond round. The bomber got mad. His head came down, his eyes flashed. Hls hands moved so fast you could scarcely follow them. You heard them thud and Flow- ers was hanging over the ropes, groggy and slobbering.

Ruggirello. making his first ap- pearance. was scheduled for two rounds. He started tossing right hand smashes into Louis in the first. Joe sighed again, went to work, Two left hooks to the chin. a right cross, and Ruggirello stumbled to a corner.

"No more," he said. "I box him two rounds tomorrow. Now my arm is sprained."

LOUIS T00 SURE, BAEB. THINKS

SPECULATOR, N. Y" Sept. 12.- Max Baez" sounded off in old-time style iazday and told the world just why he thinks he'll beat Joe Louis in their heavyweight match at the Yankee Stadium Sept. 24.

"Louis isn't as sure as be we. tends of beating me.” Baer said. "1 am seriously considering taking a punch at h-‘m at the weighing in scales just to show him who will be boss on the night of the 24th.

“Louis. at 21. is facing just c, sit,-

uation as I expelrenced at the same age. He's meeting a. better man. When I was the same age I met. Ernie Schafl‘ in New York and received a lesson that, in my in- experience, I didn't; expect." .Baer boxed five rounds today, two with Tony Cancels and Willie McGee. and one with Lou Bnozza. There will be ‘six rounds of boldng tomorrow with Paul Frog 3g an extra sparring mate.

(A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire) NEW YORK, Sept. ll. —- Paul Dean, wobbly in his preceding start against Boston, pitched masterfully today against Philadelphia, and the World Champion Cardinals main- tained their National League leader- ship. by winning 10-2 at St. Louis. The younger Dean scattered seven Phiilles hits, while his teammates blasted Orville Jorgens out, of the game in the third inning. ~

Virgil Davis, Red Bird- catcher. starred at, bat, driving in fivenms with three hits.

Pittsburgh Pirates saved them- selves from s. complete rout at the hands of the pennant-seeking Giants at Pittsburgh when they pounded out a 10-7 triumph over New York in the series final after losing the first three games.

The Bucs got the jump on Roy Parmelee, who hasn't finished a game in his last eight starts, and due to Paul Waner’s lusty swattlng piled up enough runs to stand off the Giants’ late rallies. Guy Bush, who had outdone Parmelee by fail- ing to finish nine successive starts, staggered through to the end a1- though touched for 16 hits.

CUBS TRIM BRAVES

Mixing l9 hits with Boston's field- ing lapses, Chicago Cubs sped to a 15-3 win over the Braves at Chicago and kept pace a game behind the League leading St. Louis Cardinals.

Backed up by trwo big innings in which the Cubs sent 11 men to the plate for six runs 011 MHCFIICIYEH and Smith in the fifth and sent 12 men to bat for eight runs ofi‘ Bctis in the eighth, Bill Lee breezcd to his 17th victory of the season.

Paul Derringer chalked up his 18th victory of the season as the Reds pounded Brooklyn Dodgers for a 7-4 victory at Cincinnati in their final encounter of the year. That equalled his high mark for any sca- son since he has been in the Na- tional League. Thc triumph left the teams all square for the season with 11 vic- fnrics each although Brooklyn won the scries 3-i. Kiki (‘Javier's homer with one on in the fourth complcr- ed the rout of Tom Zachary and virtually settled the game.

INDIANS DEFEAT YANKl;

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-Johnny Allen was so startled when he got his first good lead ill a pitchers‘ battle with Mel Harder that he “blew a mile high in the ninth inn- ing and Cleveland Indians scored five runs to defeat New York Yun- kees 54in their final clash today. For eight innings Allen pitched one-hit ball and he scored the only run in the first seven.

Earl Averill started the winning drive with a. home run: Joe Vosmilc. Bill Knickerbocker and Roy Hugllos_ hit singles and Ed Phillips hoisted a high one that went for a double and tied (he score when Jesse Hill lost the ball in the sun.

“£65711 In Comedy Of Errors

Perc Mclnnis‘ stars took a strangle-hold on the City League Baseball title last night when they accounted for their second-straight victory ever the Grocers, being awarded the game by a 9-0 score when Umpire Bill Ryan after re- peatedly warning the Grocers for stalling in the Stars half of the fourth was forced to use this dras- tic action.

Starting out like a real ball game with the Grocers leading 4-3 going into the Stars half of the third the game suddenly assumed a conlecLY role in the fourth after the win- ners had counted five times in the third to assume an 8-4 lead. The Grzcers were retired in short. or- der in their half of the fourth but when the Stars came to bat the fun began. Grocers made little or no attempt to field any batted balls and if they did overthrows were then in order. Stars were running the bases but again the attempts made to retire themwere actually funny. Five times they counted be- fore the first out was accomplished running the score to 13-4 and then Umpire Ryan seeing the team was paying no heed to his warnings awarded the game in the Stars by the above mentioned score.

It was an uncalled for perform- ance and certainly one that wlll offset the efiorts of tho teams made during the season to bring back baseball to its former status locally. All the good accomplished during the season certainly received a severe jolt last night. and it is drubtful if any oi’ the frills m nt- tendance last. night will return to witness the remaining games of the season.

New Maritime Record Made

At Fredericton

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

CTON, N. 3-, Sept. 11 -A new Maritime record was created on the Fredericton Exhib- ition race track this afternoon when Sully, a two-year-cld stal- lion owned by Mrs. Margaret Bal- lard, North Sydney- paoed a mile against time in 2.21, replacing the former record of 2.21 1-4 made several years ago by Carry On, of St. Stephen. Billy I-lood. trainer and driver of the Ballard stable, was behind Sully.

The 2.25 Pace furnished the fastest time of the day when Martindell from Woodstock, N. B. did the last heat in 2.11 after dropping the first to Josie the Great, Amherst. in 2.15 1-2 and winning the second heat. -

With the colt race failing to draw sufficient starters, a named raoe was substituted. Duet, from Perth, proved the best of the lot. by taking the first two heats.

The other event, 2.24 Trot, was won by Baronet. owned by H. T. Fulton, Upper Stewiacke, N. S.- breeder of the famous Maritime trotters, Gwendolyn Aubrey and Peter Pokey.

Tomorrow will be free-for-ali day, and other events slated are the 2.14 and 2.15 trots.
