It was the American's third straight victory in his six pro starts against the Briton. Perry was much the steadier throughout the five sets, making ninety-seven errors against Vines's total of 110 but the lanky Califor-nian, who appeared in perfect health, piled up the impressive total of fifty-nine earned points, against thirty-nine, most of them with booming backhanders that went for placements. His terrific delivery which he had under control in all but four of his service games, provided him with thirteen aces during the match, which he gained by the scant margin of 153 points to 149.

The triumph was the seventh of the 1936-37 campaign for the Greyhounds, who have lost only one game.

Kenneth Dorton and John Byers fired long shots soon after the opening of the hostilities to send Central away to a 4-to-0 lead.

I suppose the late John Joseph McGraw kicked more ball players up gation of tho seamnn that sho would recommend Immediate passage of a congressional resolution to suspend operation of tho Copnland-Bland law for six months. That law roqulros the pennant hopes or the Giants. Maybe the player ho wanted was nearing the end of the string and would be no good to him after that season. Well, that was all right with McGraw. He needed him right then and he got him, even if to get him he might have to give up a youngster of rare promise.

A lot of good young ball players got away from McGraw in circumstances like that. But he won a lot of pennants and he very often got the promising youngsters back later on when they were more valuable than before because of the added experience. When McGraw wanted a player in a hurry, nothing stopped him. Maybe he didn't like the player or maybe the player had caused trouble for other managers. McGraw reached out and grabbed him just the same.

Some of the best players he ever had players who jumped into the breach and won pennants for him were men for whom he had no use personally.
