NEW YORK, July 31.-Uncle
Sam will have All excellent oppor,
tunity this coming month to look
over the field of Davis cup challeng-
ers. and see just what it is oursteam
has to beat to keep what sports writ
ers call the coveted trophyp' in
this country over the winter.
More foreign tennis stars than
ever before are gathered in the east
for matches of one sort or another,
elimination contests, the nationals
and all sorts Of invitation tourna-
ments.
The challenge round for the Davis
cup will be played at the German
town Cricket club September IL, 12
and Is. Z ~
Perhaps the most serious chal-
lcnge now comes from Australia, al
though to us the French looked
strongest. The Australians have just
voted to expcnd $4,000 pounds on
u new stadium for tennis at Ruch-
cutters bay, where their national
matches, and-they hope-interna-
tional events, such as would take
place if they won the Davis cup, can
be staged. While the Australian
team may not carry home the-eup
this season, the Antipodeans are
locking to the future.
Norman Brookcs, the veteran who
partncrcd the late war hero, Wild.
ing, and who showed a flash of his
old form in the recent all En- gland
championships at Wimbledon, is
great booster for the younger play
crs on the Australian team.
The French got away to a great
start this season. For the first time,
we had the Spectacle Of two French
men as finalists in the world IS sin
giles championship at Wimbledon.
Barring Bill Tildcn and possible
Billy Johnston, there is not better
player on the courts today than Jean
y rota. Rene Lacostc is another
I ar of the first magnitude, and Co.
lhct, third member of Frances
Davis cup team, will test our best.
In addition to France and Austria
liza, we have the Chinese Davis cup
team, the Mexican Davis cup team,
the Cubans, Japanese Canadians and /
South Africans, and even Jamaica
petitioned for the privilege of enter
ing a team of her own.
