Louis Browns, came here Friday to take charge of the last-place American league baseball club radiating the enthusiasm of rookie making his first appearance in the big circuits. Hornsby, who is taking the post vacated by Bill Killefer, starts on his fourth managerial position, ar rived a few minutes after the Browns came from Detroit for their game Saturday with the White Sox. Unacquainted with a majority of the team, the Rajah's first move was to greet each play er with a smile and a hello, buddy, how are you Hornsby found one former teammate in Allan Sothoron, coach of the Browns and acting manager since Killefer's resignation. Sothoron, star hurler of the Cardinals when Hornsby was manager of the world championship team in 1926, conferred with the new manager for an hour. The smile on Hornsby's usually serious features had an instantaneous effect on the lowly Browns.

"We're glad he's manager of the club," said Carl Reynolds, star outfielder, "We believe he'll be a success." Reynolds' comment was echoed by the other players, who interrupted their breakfast to sreet Hornsby, The Rajah emphasized that he is a rank stranger in the Browns lineup. He promised that until he becomes fully acquainted with each player there will be no changes in the Browns' lineup or batting order. I've seen the Browns in action five times this year," Hornsby said. But I know nothing about the team. 'I don't anticipate any radical changes in the lineup this year.

My whole job is to make this team a winner next year." Hornsby was asked if he thought his present post the most difficult task he ever had undertaken in baseball. "No," he replied. "Every job in baseball is tough. I'm taking charge of a tail-end club. If I make any showing at all it will be to my credit" Hornsby said he would not appear in the lineup daily, but probably would serve as he did with the Cardinals, as pinch-hitter and substituting in the field rwrnsinn.

He was asked if he planned to make the Browns a strong hitting team, a strong defensive club, or whether he would stress top-notch hurling. "The main thing is to get a winner," he answered. "It takes all those things to make a first division "team." Hornsby said he would be sole "boss" of the Browns and handle the team as he sees fit. He will be answerable only to Phil Dc Catsby Ball, owner and president of the Browns. Before coming to the Browns, Hornsby was manager of the Car dinals, Braves and Cubs, all in the national league.

His record of piloting four teams is equaled only by Donie Bush, manager of the Cincinnati Reds. Actually. however, Hornsby has managed five clubs. When John McGraw was ill in 1927 Hornsby handled the Giants. Old Time Players To Meet Monday Old time semipro baseball players, who starred on clubs in this vicinity some 20 to 25 years ago, will gather at Tom Reilly's Oasis.

Some of the old-timers who starred on local diamonds were Tommy "Yellow" Sumner, Jack Collycr, Russsll North-up, "Lefty" Davis, Jim Monohan, Francis Hicks, Newt Carson, "Art" Swisher, "Eddie Elder," Ben Dyer, "Dave" Smith, Perle Smith, Harry Cohen, Evan Stone, Harry Johnson, Fred Roan, Jack Tarleton, Al Amend and Don Baskerville. ever could.

He is outspoken under any given set of conditions. He says what he thinks and lets the squawks fall where they may. One of the game's greatest natural hitters a few years ago, he is still one of ball's most interesting characters. They can't yank the headlines away from him for any length of time.

Call A. Smith at Bcnduranu England Has Good Chance to Regain Davis Cup Trophy. By Grantland Rice. In 1906, which la matter of 27 years ago, it began to look as if England would keep the Davis cup forever. With the two Doherty brothers leading the march, the Brit ish Isles had won in 1903.

1904, 1905 and 1906. The two Dohertys were then on top of the tennis world. 3 Many still rank granti.and iCE.Larry Doherty as one of the greatest of all time. These two could finish up a hard championship without a drop of perspiration adorning either brow. They were two masters and they had the help of Riseley and Smith.

After cleaning up four years in a row, England or the British Isles have now seen 27 years slip by with only one look at the classic bowl when the Britons turned Australia back in 1912. While England looked on, Australia, the United States and France dominated the annual show, featured By such stars as Brookes and Wilding, Tilden and Johnston, Cochet, Borotra and Lacoste. Now England has her best ehancs in 21 years to regain the lost trophy. With Bunny Austin and Fred Perry on the job, strong enough to beat Australia and the United States, the cup is closer to Eng. Iish soil than it has been since the days of 1912.

Austin. Perry and Hughes have come through a hard, driving cam paign. In the last few week they have had to face Wimbledon and two Davis nip tests, in each ef which their rivals were favored to win. But here they are today ready for Corhet, Merlin, Borotra and Brugnon in one of the most Interesting finals the Davis cup has known in years. THE FRENCH STAND.

The French side, with Cochet and Lacoste starring, took the Davis cup home in 1927. Since that date France has defended the trophy through 1928, 1929, 1930, 1931 and 1932. By beating England this week, France can tie the United States record of seven consecutive wins. But France faces her hardest Job. Lacoste has been on the sidelines through illness for some years.

Borotra, a brilliant performer and a great competitor, has had to drop out of the singles and leave his job to young Merlin, as yet untested in Davis cup fire. Before the matches started the French still had keen faith in Cochet to win both his singles matches, and even greater faith In the doubles ability of Borotra and Brugnon. The best French chance is Cochet's ability on Hard clay courts, coupled with the keenly partisan support of a home crowd. Baseball has 1U lusty lunged rooters in Chicago, St. Louis, Brooklyn, Boston and other cities, but not even baseball hes a home crowd gallery that warms up to any greater heat than French tennis crowds can show through a critical match, THE UNSlrTRESSIBLE HORNSBY.

Truth, crushed to earth, will rise again. But truth has nothing on the unsuppressible Rogers Horns- fcy. Let out by Cardinals, Cubs and Braves from the directing post, Hornsby is back again under Missouri skies, where he got his Major league start. All he has to do now is get the Browns out of last place without Using dynamite or a derrick. It isn't a bad place to start, for his team can't drop lower without cracking the laws of gravity, which so far have been pretty substantial.

What Is it that Hornsby has that brings him a new chance after each dismissal? In the first place, he knows baseball. In the second place, he knows how to handle men from the rougher side of leadership. He has studied baseball from more angles than anyone I know. He is a great believer in playing the old percentage system, taking his gamble at the right spot. He knows a ball player as far as he can see one.

I have heard him call the turn on youngsters breaking in. "This one will go a long way," he would say. "This one won't get anywhere." He has celdom been wrong. He predicted Lon Warncke would be a star the first time be ever saw him pitch. "Come out and watch this fellow," he said one day just, after Warneke had broken in.

"I'll show you one of the best pitchers you'll see in a long; time." He Isn't any easy-going ruler. He can ride a careless or loafing athlete as hard as John McGraw I I ynsr 1 i Perry Downs Henri Cochet In Five Sets Bunny Austin Defeats Andre Merlin in Straight Sets. ROLAND GARROS STADIUM, AUTEUIL, FRANCE yP) England blasted France's hopes of keeping the Davis cup Friday with a clean sweep of the first two singles matches in the challenge round of the international tennis battle. Fred Perry, British No. 1, "overthrew the great Henri Cochet in a stirring five-set struggle, 8-10, 6-4, 8-6, 3-6, 6-1, for the main thrust after Henry V.

Austin easily disposed of the newcomer, Andrew Merlin, 6-3, 6-, 6-0. Cochet, upon whom the chief French hopes bad been based, put ud a gallant fight against his strong, aggressive rival but weak ened after winning the fourth set to square their hard-fought match Two of the five sets were prolonged deuce struggles and Perry's greater stamina as well as his re' sourcefulness proved deciding fac tors in turning back the one-time world champion. The British now need only one more victory in the remaining three matches to end France's six year Davis up reign and give England possession of the classic trophy for the first time since 1912. Unless the French, with their backs now to the wall, summoned Jean Borotra to play in the singles Sunday after pairing in the doubles Saturday with Jacques Brugnon, it appeared certain Per ry would dispose of Merlin for the deciding point, regardless of how Austin fared against Cochet, rne tsnusn stars astounded a partisan, capacity gallery of 12, 500 fans by turning back the French defense with the same methods that swept the United States out of the competition a week ago.
