Splendid Playing Marks Third Round
 Of ennis Tourney

Boston, August 22-Play worthy of a championship marked the ad vance to the third round today of the national doubles title tourna ment, in which representatives of four countries are contending.
 The Spanish Davis cup team of Manuel Alonzo and Count de Gomar, was eliminated by the revitalized internationalists. R. Norris Williams, II. and W. M. Washburn, in straight sets, 6-4, 6-1, 6-2.
 Essaying two matches each, the Australians, Gerald L. Patterson and Pat OHara Wood. and the New American combination of William Johnston and Wallace Johnson did two days work in one and were credited with straight set victories over lesser opponents.
 Dwight F. Davis and Holcome Ward, champs of nearly century ago, opposed the playing through champions, w. T. Tilden, II, and Vim cent Richards, and lost GO, 6-3, 6-1. The Kinsey brothers, Robert and ftOWdTu' ldSl yea were forced to retire by the hard hitting combination of Willis 10. Davis of San Francisco and H. C. Johnson of Boston. The latter put the Kinseys to the wall by winning the first two sets 6-3, 6-4.
 For 22 games, the third set battle was waged, with never more than a single game advantage by either. The brothers staved off defeat time and time again, gained the advant- age, lost it and started all over again. In the end, the Kinseys broke down Davis service for the decisive game at 12:10.
 The fourth and fifth sets were stubborn sessions, but the collabor- ation of the brothers, provided too much for the team that, formed only yesterday, had short but brilliant career, The scores of the last two sets were 62, 6-2.

Western Open Golf Tournament Starts
 Today at Detroit

Detroit, August 22.-With approxi- mately 142 golfers entered, the west ern open golf tournament will start tomorrow over the difficult Oakland Hills Country club course with indi- cations that the three days of play will produce some of the keenest shooting of the season.
 The entry list Is made up primarily of middle westerners and customers, both amateurs and professionals, The south and far west virtually are un- represented.
 Today the swish of iron and driver was heard as the early arrivals trudged over the course, familiarizing themselves with it, but the thud of niblick into sand probably sounded almost as often, for the Oakland Hills links are severely trapped.
 The course is baked as hard as con crete, for there has been no rain worth mentioning for nearly two months. The hard fairways are cor rugated with deep sand pits backed by high bunkers, and on some of the poles the traps are so close together that there is no clear pathway to green Several holes have to be played somewhat like dog legs, al though not intentionally of that type.
 Greens Smooth
 The greens are wonderfully smooth and very fast.
 The western open tournament is decided differently from any other tournament in the country. There are only three days of play, each player st ooting an 1S-hole qualifying round, on each of the first two days. On the third day all but the low 32 for the first two days drop out. These 32 play 36 holes, the scores for 72 holes including the rounds of qualifying play, counting for the total. The tournament ends Friday night, bar ring ties. which would be played off Saturday.
 The entry list shows a fairly good sprinkling of amateurs, but Chick Evans is the only non-profes- sional entry with an international reputation.
 George Diegel of New Orleans. brother of Leo Dige1, is the south's only representatives, Bobby Jones and the ether well-known stars not being present.

in 1900, Dwight Davis, Malcolm d.
Whitman and Holcome Ward turn
ing back the british, composed of
A. w. Gore, f. D. Black and 1T.
Roper Barrett, three matches to
none. In 1908 r. F. and H. L. Do
herty took the cup to England,
where it remained four years. Then,
in 1907, the great Australian team
of Norman Rrookes and the late
Anthony Wilding gained possession
of the tdophy by beating the Brit
ish in the challenge round 8 to 2,
and there it reposed until 1912,
when the British team of j. c.

endeavor, defeating the British in
the challenge round to 2. But the

NEW YORK, Aug. 81.-CU.' P.)-
America and Australia are to meet to-
morrow at Forest Hills in, the first of
five matches for the Davis Cup. The
winner of three of the five matches
wins the cup which carries with it a
clear title to the tennis championship
of the world.
In no other fsports but tennis can a
world championship be established
because it is the only game that is
played everyplace on the globe under
standard rules. The Davis Cup means
much. 1t has had millions spent on it,
Canada, France, Belgium, Australia,
Hawaii, Czechoslovakia, Spain the
Philippines, Roumania, India, Italy
and Japan challenged the Cnited
States for the cup this year and the
Australian team fought through and
won its way to meet the defending
Americans.
The cup was offered by Dwight r.
Davis in 1900 as a trophy for inter
national competition and it developed
the most interesting competition of all
sports. The United States team won I
the cup in 1900 and 1902. The British !
Isles took the cup away from Amer- /
ca in 1903 and successfully defended
ii in 1904, 1905 and 1906. Australia /
stepped in and won in 1907. America !
tried for the cup in 1908, 1909 and /
1911, but Australia retained the tro-
ply until 1912 when the team from .
British Isles took it back to Eng
land. The United States brought it I
home in 1918, only to lose it to Aus
tralia in 1914. The war suspended
competition until 1919 when the
British team made an unsuccessful at
tempt to take the cup from the Aus
tralians. In 1920 America finally sue
ceeded in bringing it back home and
in 1921 the Americans defeated the
