TLDEN AND RICHARDS PREDICT DAVIS CUP VICTORY FOR u
SHOW SPORTS HERE AND IN ENGLAND DIFFER
By PHILIP MARTIN


Bill Tilden and Winnie Richards
both emphatically declare that the
United States is sure to win the Davis
Cup again next summer. Dick Will
lialns, Frank Markey, sBuz" McAdam
and other net experts chime in with
a robust "Ditto!p This gives America
clear lead in the balloting-but the
French have just begon to vote.
There were only two Frenchmen in
the finals for the indoor championship
here. The others were too busy to
come over.
But the Davis cup matches will be
played outdoors and Mr.. Tilden ct al
may be right. In spite of a bad sea-
son last year, Mr. Tilden is still con-
sidered the premier racquet wielder
(of the amateurs) But the cup
matches this summer will be no waltz
to victory.
Why is it so hard to keep our anna
teurs honest? America has long puz-
zled over that problem and now comes
Howard Savage with partial answer
in his report on games and sports in
English universities:
"The Englishman maintains his ac-
tivity in sport much longer He may
play rugby or association football in
an amateur club until he is thirty or
more, cricket until he is fifty, and
tennis as long as he can enjoy it with
out acute discomfort to himself or his
opponents. Sometimes, but less fre-
quently than an American, he will re-
sort to gymnasium for exercise. He
takes pride in keeping fit.
1.-THE American worker who once
played football or baseball or ran, ap-
pears to reach comparatively early a
state of mind which permits his pay
ing admission to watch amateur or
professional teams compete, sitting in
the bleachers or in the grandstand,
and reading accounts of games in the
papers. His interest tends toward
passivity at a relatively early age.
The Englishman's interest in sport
appears to remain active until much
later in his life."
More and more Americans are play
ing golf, tennis, squash and similar
games, but they crowd what little ex-
ercise they get into Saturdays and
Sundays-which is fatal. Among the
great class of amateurs, baseball and
football cease with more or less
bright college years or with school
days. What pity!
Those who once strove to win now
have their hearts set on seeing others
achieve glory. If their old school or
college wins, it makes them feel re-
flected glory If their favorites lose,
it is a personal defeat. Then they
