Bobby Riggs of Chicago opened quest of his fourth singles championship in the 54th annual Sea Bright invitation nament yesterday by trouncing J. Upshur Moorhead of Rumson, N. 6-1, 6-2. The former national champion, only domestic seeded player to see action in the men's field as the grass-court classic got under way, seeks to become the first player in the tournament history to win the title a fourth time. He retired the second Sea Bright challenge bowl last year after winning the title in 1937 and 1938.

DiMag Used Three Bats During Spree By WHITNEY MARTIN New York (The Special News Service) -Catching up on the news after two weeks of catching up on rest. Or. what goes on here. anyway? It was easy enough for Joe DiMaggio to show an unruffled dis- all position while he was getting his hits on the march to his phe-; nomenal consecutive-game hitting streak.
as a man doesn't howl as long as he is hitting the nail and not his thumb. We think the true measure of the young man as a sportsman was provided by the manner in which he reached to the abrupt ending of the string. We can think of more than one ball player who, under similar circ*mstances, would have come through with a display of temperament which would have made a prima donna's outburst seem as disturbing as a rocking chair in the shade. Joe hit into a double play on his final chance -and he realized it was his final chance. Yet he rounded first base as if the out were just another out.
jogged out toward center field, picked up his glove and was ready to play. There was no head shaking, or kicking of the dirt, or any other grandstand action, although, despite what he might say, it must have been a bitter disappointment. He had long since broken the ord, but, like a man who has set his goal at a million dollars and gets there, he wasn't satisfied. DiMaggio used three bats along the way. The first was swiped, then returned.
The bat he used while No. 1 was missing was sent to San Francisco and auctioned off for $1,600 for the USO fund. He split the No. 1 bat game lat third Chicago DiMaggio and model, finished up which with is a a perfect 36-36 inches long and 36 ounces in weight. Much moaning in Chicago over the play of the Cubs, and the club officials seem to be leaning over backward to make the situation no better.
The team was shipped up into Wisconsin for an exhibition on a recent open date. 4 It arrived back Chicago about p.m. on a day "he was booked for a double-header. So if you're blaming Jimmy Wilson for anything, just remember he doesn't arrange the schedule. He just works there, he hopes.
Note that Frank "Rube" Melton, rookie Phillie hurler, has been suspended for leaving the club without permission. It's possible he stood for the club's play about as long as could. At a recent check the Phils were just games behind--behind seventh place. Next year the games the Phils play probably will be listed on other team's schedules as "open date." Under Burt Shotton the Phils set a record for the fewest victories during a season-41. It looks like a cinch that they will better that mark.
With due respect to the Mizes and Moores and Slaughters, the fact remains the Cardinal fortunes ebb and flow with the absence or presence of stubby Jim Brown. They went into a tailspin last year when he left the line-up. This year they won 37 and lost 16 while he was playing, won 11 and lost 12 when he was forced from the line-up through injury. He's back, so keep your eye on them. Which, considering their present position, telling a gent in a lion's cage to keep his eye on the lion.

The impression prevails, Nichi Nichi said, that Japan is in a strong position if her forces are mobilized to strike hard and fast in the right direction when the proper time comes. The foreign minister, Nichi Nichi chiefly concerned for the present with China and is studying the empire's relations with all the great powers with a view to using these relations to obtain an early settlement of the "China Along somewhat the same lines the commercial newspaper Chugai which often reflects the the powerful Mitsui interests, said yesterday that Japan occupies a prominent position on the world stage because of her ability to sway the present international position.
Japan exercises influence in the United States, this newspaper said, because her navy is supreme in the western Pacific Ocean. President Roosevelt is chiefly concerned with his program of a Britain, the newspaper added, and obviously is devoting great efforts towards building up American public opinion to a point where it will support him in entering the European war on Britain's side. For the present, Chugai continued, Japan is entirely satisfied to let Mr. Roosevelt guess what this country intends to do. Secrecy is essential in the pressituation, the newspaper believed, praising the government for refusing to reveal any detail of the "momentous" decision on foreign policy reached by the imperial conference on July 2, shortly after the start of the RussoGerman war.
United States, Chugai believed, was puzzled after the imperial conference and now is more puzzled than ever by the change in governments here. Moscow also is confused as to Japan's plans, Chugai said. Mrs. McCraw Dies Near Mount Airy (Special to The Journal) Mt. Arena McCraw, 65, Mt.

Bettina Fights Burman Tonight New York -Chick Meehan stages his second boxing show in opposition to Mike Jacobs' "monopoly" tonight at Ebbets Field. featuring a 10-round bout between 'Heavyweight Melio Bettins and Red Burman. Meehan, former football coach at New York University and Manhattan, expects to make money tonight because he has big names on his card. He lost about $7,000 with his first show two weeks ago when he had no big-timers to trot out. The Bettina -Burman match shapes up as a good fight, and it is supported by two other 10-round bouts in which well-known heavyweights appear: Lee Savold vs.
Soily Kriegar and Pat Comiskey vs. Henry Cooper. In the feature brawl, Southpaw Bettina of Beacon, N. is trying to use Burman of Baltimore- Jack Dempsey's protege- stepping stone in a winter title fight. with Jee Louis.
Bettina, former light heavyweight champion, is unbeaten as a heavyweight. He defeated 23 big fellows, knocking out 17 of them. If he can add Baltimore Red to his list tonight, Mauling Mello then can demand another tilt with Billy Conn, whom he gave two great fights in 1939. Victory over Conn would clinch a winter match with Louis, if Bomber Joe is still champion then.

Drastic restriction on foreign shipping through the Panama Canal was disclosed officially yesterday and Japanese vessels apparently were affected most the action. Sumner Welles, acting secretary of state, said that all shipping agencies have been notified order by canal authorities restrictor prohibiting transit of merchant shipping for the time being to permit urgent repairs. Whether all was affected was not revealed, nor did Welles indicate how long it would take to complete the repairs. A group of Japanese after a week-long wait at the canal for transit from the Atlantic to the Pacific, was sailing southward, apparently on the long route homeward around Cape Horn. Five vessels which had waited a week sailed for Rio de Janeiro yesterday and two other more recent arrivals at the canal left for an undisclosed destination.
All were presumed to be going around the cape to the Pacific. One Japanese captain, displaying a cable from Tokyo saying that the canal was closed, laughed and pointed at other ships moving through. Authorities at the canal declined to say why the Japanese had been denied transit. The Japanese embassy made representations last. week to facilitate clearance for two Japanese vessels which had been delayed in sailing fromone American east coast ports ship awaiting transit through the canal.
Welles said at that he understood some canal repairs were being made and that the delays to other ships were due to local conditions rather than to any concerted action to hamper Japanese shipping. The reorganization of the Japacabinet last week, however, nese has intensified speculation on possible new Japanese military moves which would precipitate a crisis in the Pacific. A European observer in Hong Kong reported today that fleet Japanese military transport vessels left the mouth of the Canton River in South China yesterday for an unknown destination, possibly connected with plans direction. by Japan to strike in some Funeral Is Today For W.

The Great Outdoors The dodder that is now over and wrapping itself around the plants of the field is a good example of what happens when dependence is aliowed to run a little too long.
The dodder begins in the regular way, springing up from a seed and getting its nourishment from the soil like its neighbors. It puts out length after length of a yellow or reddish thread fitted with tiny suckers that fasten themselves to neighboring plants. Finding that these neighbors will take care of it, the dodder casts its line loose from the ground, allows root to wither away, nad finally becomes a parasite. It goes SO complete, that it not only hangs its weight on a neighbor but sometimes strangles it, so that both host and parasite perish together. An name for dodder was "love which name somehow contains sardonic touch.
It has also been called "angel's hair." And indeed it is rather pretty in some surroundings. We saw the other day the purple blue flower of the ruellia surrounded by orange-colored loops of dodder. With the green leaves as background, the color harmony was perfect. The dodder's own leaves have degencrated into mere scales, but it continues to bear flowers and seeds.

One of the largest fields in the history of the tournament, headed by Defending Champion Dorothy Kirby of Atlanta, and Louise Suggs, the little southern titleholder from Lithia Springs, will tee off this morning, in the the 19th 18-hole annual qualifying women's invitation event at Biltmore Forest. In a practice round yesterday, the comely Miss from Georgia's capital city posted a 74, one under women's par and only three over regulation figures for men. She had a 37 on each nine. She played with Miss Suggs, Caroline Dykes of Columbus, and Virginia Vines of Scituate, Mass. Miss Suggs had a 41-40-81.
Late yesterday afternoon 50 players were entered in the competition which annually attracts the better southern linkswomen as well as several star players from other sections. In the finals, last year Miss Kirby defeated Jane Crum of angeburg, S. 3 and 2, to win the title. The South Carolinian will be unable to take part in the current event because summer school work at the University of South Carolina. The only other absentee of note is Jane Cothran of Greenville, S.

Bryson's Cis Marion, which hadn't won a race since the Pimlico Oaks last May, got the final week of the Empire City meeting under way yesterday by coming on fast in the final furlong to win the Maud Muller class handicap.

He has worked 184 innings this season, a total exceeded in the major leagues only by Feller. The Dodgers also are worried about Kirby Higbe, who like Wyatt has won 13 games and borne a large share of the burden. He was batted out of the box by the Cardinals last Friday and Sunday was taken to a hospital to be treated for an unruly appendix.
After 24 hours of observation doctors decided no operation would be necessary for the present, at least, and gave him permission to accompany the club on its western invasion starting last night.

six The reason Wyatt so con- ferred to went 0-0 for nine working on cerned by his sudden slip is easily understandable. He is 31 years old, partly bald, and has had three previous chances with big league clubs. This season looked like his turn to strike pay dirt. "They just off on the ones you win," he explained, "and I figure get a chance to win only so many. You can just get in a certain number of games and if you don't win while you're out there, then that's an opportunity lost.
"The way I figure it, I ought to have won 17 games now, with any kind of baseball luck. For one thing we haven't been able to get very many runs when I've been out there. Look at Feller. He had a little let down, but he was winning games 9 to 7 and scores like that. "I lost one at St.

The company has been ordered to show cause why the $23,920,000 item should not be placed in an adjustment account and written off, reducing its book valuation from the present total of 000,000 to about $73,000,000. Counsel for the commission said if such action were taken, as recommended by the commission investigators, most of the utility's $25,000,000 of common stock would be worthless. The majority of this stock, they said, is held by a holdling company. The power firm also has been ordered to show why it "failed to comply with the requirements of the commission's uniform system of accounts" and why the remainder of its book requirements of the uniform system of accounts prescribed for public utilities." Pleading for dismissal, attorneys for Carolina Power and Light contended the federal commission lacked jurisdiction.
They maintained the proposed change would recast the books "upon fictitious and unlawful bases" and that the system of accounts proposed by the commission is "arbitrary, capricious and unreasonable." Only witness questioned yesterday was Arthur M. McCabe, a co-ordinator for engineering and accounting departments of the company, who told of difficulties in reclassifying accounts as ordered by the commission. Representatives of the North Carolina and South Carolina utilities commissions were authorized to participate in the hearing, but declined.

But his stomach was upset and he couldn't return to the mound.
Hugh Casey took over, let the Reds tie the score and then got credit for Brooklyn's eventual victory. Wyatt said his arm felt a little stiff in Boston in his last start before the All-Star game. He sent a telegram to Bill McKechnie, manager of the National League Stars, telling him it was sore, but agreed to pitch, and shut out the Americans for his two innings on the mound. He said yesterday his arm did not pain him now, however, and that it never better than it did last Wednesday night when the Cardinals shelled him out in the fifth. That night he fanned six men.
