DAVIS CUP TEAM
NAMED BY FRANCE
Strong Combination Will Olvs
Americans Battle in lnterna-
tionaI Tennis Matches

France has chosen its Davis Can
team, naming four men for the first of
the preliminary ties.
Andre III. Colbert who won the Brit
ish indoor championship recently, heads
the team. with Max Dccugis in second
place. The other two players selected
are W. Laurentz and NJ. Brugnon.
Speaking of. the chances Of this SQUAD
against the Americans in the opening
round, London Field says:
1T is quite conceivable that this
team, familiar with English turf. may
dash Americas hopes in its first trial.
Colbert will have to be beaten once for
America to win. since Americas s do,t-
bles strength is not as sure as Frances.
England will probably rely on Parke and
Kingscotc in the singles-twol PLAYERS
who cannot be dcspiscd in any company
We suggest. too. that South Africa's
chances cannot be ruled out. Their
young and advancing team is one OF real
merit
English tennis writer's have offered a
suggestion to avoid a recurrence OF the
recent mix up in the Davis cup draw
because of late entries. II is that every
country with competing tendency be
entered automatically on January I of
each year and that unless the entry 10
cancelled before March ! the names de-
automatically drawn. IF country de.
cdes afterward not TO play il can be-
defaulted without disarranging the draw
and upsetting the arrangements OF all
the other countries.

lington. Vt. tomorrow afternoon and

Hanover.
Walter Huntzinger. the hero of the
championship basketball series against
Chicago. is slated TO hurl for the Red
and Blue in the battle against Vermont.
Sheffcy probably will do the pitching on
Saturday.
Coach Walter Cariss was not af all
downcast over the defeat at the hands
Of Delaware yesterday. The Newark
Del, collegians have an excellent team
and Joe Rothreck is one of the best
pitchers in collegiate ranks. Delaware
won out on a home run by 6. Carter
in the tenth, 2-1.
The game uncovered n new pitcher
for Cariss in Art Strickland. who
twirled the entire game for the Red and
Blue. Strickland handled himself in
great shape and hereafter will be used
regularly.

nell at Franklin Field Saturday were

PILLS MAY TRADE
MEUSEL TO ROBINS
Reported Cravath Will Get Two
Players From Dodgers for
Baker Outfielder

Irish Meusel. the slugging outieIder
of the Phillies, will be traded to Brook
lSn, according to n rumor circulated in
Pittsburgh yesterday.
As the dope goes. Cravath will re e
ccive two players from Uncle Wilbert
Robinson for Meusel. The names OF
the two players who arc supposed to
come to the Phils have not been
mentioned in the report.
President Baker is in New York aud
could not be reached. but at the Phils'
office here the report was given no sup
port. Cravath. in Pittsburgh, said he
know nothing of il.
Mcusel is one of tho most scientific
hitters in baseball and last year nut
up good battle for the leadership
among the battcrs in the league. His
big handicap is his poor arm which
was injured last winter n year ago.
IL is on account Of this weak whip
that Cravath has kept him on the bench
during many Of tho games this sea
son.
One Pittsburgh newspaper came out
this morning with the following state
ment:
The PhiIlies and Dodgers are nego.
t'ating toward an important baseball II
deal which will involve the services Of
Irish Meusel. the hard hitting out
fielder OF the Philadelphia club. This
was learped last night from an au-
thoritative source. Two of Wilbert
kobinson's twirlers are to come in ex-
change for Meusel. but their identity
could not be learned last night"

teated the Tiger captain, Werner. in a
hard fought match that lasted two hours
ana three sets. Werner took the first
set after terrific struggle at 12- 10. but
IN so doing he burned himself complete =
y out, while Fischer did little more
Than make the Orange and Black leader

game. then finished the match by easily
winning the final set at O..
Tomorrow Fischer will lead the Penn

"BREAKS' BREAK
AGAINST PH|LL|ES
Paulette, Used When Not Needed
and Luderus Not Used
When Needed @-,'

Pittsburgh, May 13.--If the weather
man will shut off the weeping heavens
this afternoon. the Phillies and PiratSs
may be able to get in the third game
OF the series but with rain that LASTED
all night the grounds cannot be in very
good condition for fast ball.
:. Manager Gavvy Cravath is a little
disappointed at not being able to use
lee Meadows. who reported slightly il
tuesday. II his condition is improved
this afternoon and the weather warns
up bit, Gavvy may take a chance. as
ne feels that the bespectacled youth can
take the measure Of the Buccos.
Many Mistakes
instead of going to the movies across
me street the boys discussed the mis-
taxes of the game that wa booted away
yetesrday just when victory seemed tc
De possible. The Phils were deserving
or better fate, as they went into the
second inning with grim determination
TO batter down the defense of the Buc-
cancers and get thostSthree runs back.
and it's old news now to record that
they did get the trio Of tallies back. but
the machinery slipped at the wrong
time.
Talk about the breaks of the game.
When Earl Hamilton. a portsider. went
to the mound Manager Cravath removed
me old warhorse. Luderus. and sent
Paulettc to bat for him, with Stengel
OH first. The change was disastrous,
as the ex-Cardinal forced Stengel at
second. and on his other trip to the
plate flied out to Southworth. with
Stengel itching to get in from third
Disastrous Seventh
1t was in the disastrous seventh in :
ming that Ludy was needed With Big
bee on. third and Carey on first the
double/ steal was flashed. but Carey
slipped half way down the path. and
Withcrow shot the ball to Paulette, and
Carey was chased back and forth, with
Bigbec edging, bit by bit, down the
base path.
Paulette suddenly left Carey. although
he could have touched him out easily.
and fired the ball to third to get Big :
bee The throw was bad, but Bigbce
was caught far away from the bag and
had the Philie third baseman played
the ball little better he would have
nailed the Pirate runner. As it was,
both runners were safe. and Rixey was
SO upset that he aimed at nowhere on
his next pitch and the ball went scooting
over the grandstand, scoring Bigbee and
Carey.
