DISTANCE MAY BAR
MANY CHALLENGERS
FOR DAVIS TROPHY
Probability Is That Only Four
of Seven Preliminary Rounds
Will Be Played.

NEW YORK March 1S.-It is
probable that only four of the seven
preliminary rounds of the Davis Cup
tournament Will be played this sum-
mer.
Following the draw made by the
United States La-n Tennis Associa-
ton several nations face trip that
makes competition almost impos-
sible
The Belgium Australia match
looks destined for a default as the
Belgians, facing one of the favorites
in the tournament, hardly would
make such a trip, and Australia
would not want to so to Belgium
The Spain-Philippine match also
hangs in the balance. but Spain
probably Will come to the United
States to make it easier for the
Philippines.
The Hawau-C echo~Slovakia match
hardly will be played as each would
have TO make a long trip with
small chance Of getting by the sec.
ond round.
Japan and Italy are also doubtful
The Japanese, runners up last year,
are ne Of the favorites this year, and
unless the Italians want TO make the
journey to the United States merely
for the purpose Of taking a beating
they will insist upon the Japs going
TO Europe
Many of the preliminary rounds
Will be played in the United States.
Repetition Of last years play may
be seen this year. Australia and
Japan are rates as the two strongest
Of the challengers and they are i'm
opposite sections of the draw. II is
not so sure. however. that Japan viii
reach the challenge round against
the American team. as the Austral-
ians are bringing a veteran outfit
this year Il was only the inexperi-
ence Of the young Amaze players that
enabled the Japanese TO beat them
last summer.
The final preliminary match viii
be PLAYED at Newport during the
week Of August IA and the chal-
lenge round has been set for Forest
Hills. y. Y. on Sept ! . and 4. The
