Sport: Who Won, May 2, 1932

¶Ellsworth Vines Jr., U. S. tennis champion: the Mason & Dixon championship, beating in the final Wilmer Allison, of Austin, Tex., who had twice beat him earlier this year 6-4, 6-1, 6-4; at White Sulphur Springs, W. Va.

¶Three Yale crews (varsity, junior varsity, 150 lb.): races with M. I. T.; at Derby, Conn.

¶The Optimists (Stewart Iglehart, Winston Guest, Warren Sackman): the Open Indoor Polo Championship, in a fast but one-sided game against the defending champions, Los Nanduces (Gerard Smith, Cyril Harrison, McDonald Jones), 12 to 6¼; in Manhattan.

¶The Boston Braves: 4 to 1; a ballgame with the Brooklyn Robins, at Boston. The crowd was delighted by the big-league debut of a Boston-bred pitcher, 20-year-old Bob Brown, who proved far more efficient than Brooklyn's famed Arthur ("Dazzy") Vance who opposed him and allowed only five hits, was horrified by news that got out after the game was over. Not only had firstbaseman Arthur ("The Great") Shires torn a knee ligament by colliding with Thirdbaseman Stripp of Brooklyn in the ninth inning; on being hospitalized, he had found that he was also suffering from a broken nose. It had been fractured by a bouncing grounder in the first inning.
