Invaders Will Get Their First
Test Against Americans

New York, Aug. 31.-P)-Eng-
lands four man tennis invasion of
this country will get its first test in
team play at Forest Hills tomorrow
and Monday against an American
squad composed mainly OF Davis
cup players. With the aim OF bring
ing British tennis back to the
heights it has not reached for many
years, the English team Of two
veterans and two brilliant young
stars is making tour of the United
States, Canada and Australia SINH

squad last year.
The English TEN is composed of
Edward Higgs. first ranking British
player. J. c. Gregory, another veter-
an. II. w. Austin, young Cambridge
star who defeated three members of
the American Davis cup team in
England, and I. c. Collins, another
brilliant youngster. With the two
veterans as the backbone of the
team, the British hope that the
strong competition they will en-
counter on the tour will help the
younger players toward the top.
Three members of the American
Davis cup team, Frank Hunter, John

Hennessey and George Lott, and two
mer Princeton captain and Wilmer
Allison of Fort Worth, Tex, will
make up the American squad.
The schedule for each day of the
series calls for three singles matches
and one doubles encounter. The
lineup of the American team de-
ponds on whether Lott and Hennes-
sey meet with success or failure to-
day in their match against jacques
Brugnon and Henri Cochet of France
in the semi finals of the national
doubles championship at Brookline.
The tentative program calls for these
two to carry the burden of the play
but if they are unavailable tomor-
row Hunter and the two younger
players will play the leading roles
the first day.
The schedule as originally drawn
up calls for singles matches between
Hennesscy and Higgs. Lott and
Austin and Hunter and Gregory, and
for Lott and Hennessey to play Higgs
and Collins in the doubles tomorrow.
All the British players We're
eliminated from the doubles cham
plonshipS earlier in the week.

Second JOE CANS
FLASHES IN ring
Negro Sensation Knocks Out
WatelWeisht Champion

Chicago. Aug 81 P,-The closest
approach to the immortal Joe Cans
flashed menacingly over the pugiiis-
tic horizon today.
The new star is Young Jack
Thompson. sleek looking San Fran
cisco Negro, who last night caused
startling upset by knocking out
Joe Dundee of Baltimore, the
worlds weIterweight champion, in
the second round of a ten round
match in the White Sox park.
Thompson is not the welterWeight
titleholder only because of a weight
technically due to Dundee forcing
him to weigh las pounds, one pound
over the welterweight limit. Thomp-
son, whose best fighting weight is
l42 or 145 pounds, weighed 14S is
pounds when the combatants weigh
ed in Wednesday afternoon for the
battle. which was postponed until
last night because of rain. Dundee
barely moved the beam at 147
pounds. With "a hours elapsing,
Thompson managed to slough off
the extra poundage, and went into
the ring near his best weight.
Thompson, in conquering the well
tcrWeight king, made tremendous
impression. He seems to have in
herited the great skill of his famous
fellow man. Cans. He possesses Il
sterling combination of perfect
boxer and a terrific two-handed
puncher. His style is strikingly like
the old lightweight master.
The San Francisco Negro proved
that he is fast and clever as was
Cans and that he can punch like
the famous lightweight king Of two
decads ago. He revealed these
sterling qualities when he knocked
Dundee down twice in the second
round and stood there waiting to
deliver the finishing punch when
Referee Eddie Purdy mercifulIy
