DAVIS CUP MATCH !. 10 BE HARD FOUGHT
American Team Will Be Hard
 Pressed

New York, Aug. g Pl-1s Amer ica's Davis cup team of this year facing the fate which befell Uncle sam's representatives back in 1914?
 After scanning the present ten his horizon it wouldn't be at all surprising were the famous trophy to go to European invading force, just as it did 12 years ago. In 1914, it will be recalled, Aus tralia, led by the famous Anthony Wilding and Norman Brookes, swept the United States pastimers aside in one of the most thrilling and hotly contested tussles in the history of the famous classic.
 That year Wilding whipped Dick Williams and so did Brookes. Wilding and Brookes also defeated America's sensation duo. Tom Bundy and Maurice Mclaughlin, in the doubles.
 Mclaughlin. thcn famed as the "Californi, Comet.' saved America from debacle by beating both Wilding and Broolios fn the sin sles. Tho challenge round ended: Australia 8, United States 2.
 Australia this season. sent over one of the greatest invading teams ever to compete for the cup. Wild ing and Brookes were two of the outstanding players in tennis an- nals. As a rair they were virtual ly invincible.

BOXER ASKS PAY
 FOR BROKEN ARM
Brings Action for Injuries Re-
 ceiVed in Ring

Watertown, N. Y. Aug. 3, Pt- When a boxer breaks his arm while punching his opponents head, is the organization sponsoring the bout liable under the workmen's con- pensation act?
 That llrotty question arose when William Simpson, who is d clerk in daily life, asked compensation for injury suffered in boxing eNhibi ton in the Knights of Columbus gymnasium.
 Simpson, who learned to box in the Army, maintained that he was employed by the Knights of Colum- bus for the exhibition. Therefore, after he fractured his arm in whip-- ping over a fast one to his oppo- rents head, he claimed that he was entitled to compensation as one Of the organzation's employees.
 James Richardson, referee of the ompensations court, said that he though Simpsons petition might he granted under a clause in the insurance contract. protecting Tn the case of amusement as well as regular employment. He continued the case pending a more thorough examination of that contract.
New Britain herald., 1927-08-09

Australians ever played together. Rumblings of the war were being heard at the time. Upon their re- turn 10 their native land Wilding and Brookes both entered the serv- ice. Wilding was killed soon after reaching the front. Brookes came through unsca thed. Several years ago he essayed a comeback. but the once great racqueteer was only shell of his old self.
 That 1914 reverse was the last an American entry met in Davis cup competition. Six years later Tilden and Johnston won back the coveted trophy, beating Australia 5 10 0. American has since retained the laurels. defeating Australia, Ja- pan and France during the inter- vening six seasons.
 Last year the Trench stars, La coste. Borotra, Burgnon and Co., chet, extended the Americans, but won only one of the five matches. This season the French menace again looms. In fact, the American team seems certain to encounter it's severcst test since Wildng and Rrookes crashed through to victory 1S years ago.
 With it's two veterans, 1ilden and Johnson, admittedly past their prime, and Richards no longer eligible, the United States has any thing but q rosy prospect of main taining it's long international su- premacv.
