Hunters Colfing Status
Causes British Concern
Fear Disqualification Would
Also Affect Carter.

LONDON, Aug. 13.-The discussion In
America on the amateur status OF Willie
]. Hunter may have the effect OF making
Ineligible both the former British anna
teur golf champion and Captain Ernest
Carter for the British amateur cham
pionship in 1928.
The subject is understood 70 have
come up already in discussions between
the Royal and Ancient Club of S.
Andrews and the American golf author
tiles. The Royal and Ancient Club IS
the authoritative voice in all British
golf matters, and any decision II takes
will probably fix the dividing line be-
tween paid and unpaid players.
The status of the amateur Is some
what difficult to define. and while the
American action is extolled in most
quarters as giving a verdict on a soma
what delicate matter. the Royal and
Ancient Club is blamed for having let
the matter drift so long and for waiting
for lead from the United States.

AUSTRALIAN PAIR
SCORE IN DOUBLES
Take Lead in Davis Cup Final
by Beating Alfonso and
De Gomar.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 1s-Australia's s
DAVIS cup tennis team tonight stands
within one match of the challenge round
and the right TO play the United States
trophy defenders On the courts Of the
Germantown Cricket Club this afternoon
Gerald L. Patterson and Pat O'Hara
Wood defeated Manuel Alfonso and
Count Manuel de Gomar, the Spanish
representatives in the doubles match in
straight sets by scores OF Ga, 6-3,
Cd.
While the play was closer than the
score would appear to indicate the
Australians always dominated the con-
test and seldom failed to come through
with the winning stroke when a point
was actually necessary Patterson and
O'Hara Wood teamed better than their
spanish opponents and there was at
times a finality to their strokes par
ticularly those made close to the net.
that was completely absent In the racket
work of the Spaniards.
Both Alfonso and De Gomar were fast
afoot and with racket, but even when
close to the corded barrier they hit over
mead shots that We're repeatedly hurled
pack by one or the other of the Austria
lians. Patterson was the best of the
quartet in this form OF play and his
overhead kills from forecourt seldom
were ever touched by either opponent.
wood was not quite as powerful in
killing overhead, but balanced the team
work with repeated cross court and
close to net returns, which slipped be-
tween the Spaniards before they were
aware what had happened.
There was Nttle of this team work
In the play of Alfonso and De Gomar but
as individual players they were still
stars and their sprinting, surprising re-
turns of apparently sure point shots and
puzzling service carried the play to deuce
in many games when the Australians
were leading by several points
The stroke analysis of the three sets
shows that there was but little differ
ence in the errors of the two teams. but
that In earned points the Australians
more than doubled the placements and
service aces OF the Spaniards. Patterson
ana y Kara Wood had almost as many
nets as Alfonso and De Gomar and ex-
ceeded the Spaniards in outs, for when
they hit the ball it was for keeps" as
a spectator expressed it.
tomorrow Patterson will play Alfonso
and OHara Wood will meet Count de
Gomar in singles, and in order to reach
the challenge round the Spanish players
must win both matches, feat consid-
cred improbable by tennis experts here.

had gone to deuce three times, and
she won the second game as we'll. gain
ing a lead which she never lost. The
set ended at 6-3. but an idea of how
we'll Mrs. Bundy fought may be un-
derstood from the fact that four of
her losing games went to deuce points
and that in every one of them she had
vantage point. The surprising thing
was that Miss Wills outsteadied her at
these critical stages of the important
games. and stroSing boldly came
through when point was needed badly.
Toward the end Mrs. Bundy's speed
waned She was not getting up to shots
that she had no trouble in returning at
the start, and was passed time and
again. Miss Wills, on the other hand,
seemed to gain power and accuracy
with every game, and her triumph was
well deserved.
In advancing to within a single match
of another national title. Mrs. Mallory
for the third time this season defeated
Miss Leslie Bancroft of Boston quite
decisively. Barring one period of the
second set, when the Boston girl, throw
ing caution to the winds, struck a
streak of brilliant hitting that gave
her four games in row and the lead
of 4-3, Mrs. Mallory was mistress of
the situation.
At no time In the match not even
when Miss Bancroft was in the midst
of her spectacular rally, did the cham
pion show any falling off in power and
steadiness. She covered court with
great agility and sent her forehanders
booming through for frequent place
ments. In the first set Miss Bancroft,
try as she would could not get the
range of the net and she contributed
twenty errors to Mrs. Mallory's 26
points. In the second set she showed
to far better advantage, but could not
sustain her spurt long enough to take
the set. With the score al against
her. the champion won the next three
games with ease in ending the match
In Doubles Final. Too.
In doubles, as well as in singles, Miss
Wills and Mrs. Mallory will play on
opposite sides of the net to-day With
the able assistance OF Mrs Marion
Znderstein Jessup, Miss Wills scored
