GERMANY DEPENDS
ON YOUNG NETMEN
Prem and HoIderman Named
to Garry Burden in Play
With Americans.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
IN ERLIN, July 18.-The struggle Of
K youth and vigor against age and
experience is the order of the
interzone final of the Davis Cup
tennis competition, which starts
here tomorrow on the courts of the Red
and White Club. Germany, the newest
sensation of international tennis, Is
placing its hopes in the hands of two
young players, Daniel Prem and Hans
Moldenhauer, while the United States
has chosen the veteran campaigners
William T. Tilden and Francis T. Hunt
er, to carry the singles burden.
Tomorrow'S singles matches, which
open the struggle of deciding whether
Germany or the United States will meet
France in the challenge round. send
Tilden against Moldenhauer and Hunter
against Prem. The order will be re-
versed for Sundays final matches.
The doubles encounter Saturday brings
the prospect Of the most interesting
match of the series. The Germans
have discarded their team of Heinz
Landmann and Heinrich Kleinschroth,
who carried Germany through the Eu-
ropean zone preliminaries, but we're de-
,eated in the zone final against England.
Prem and Moldenhauer will play the
doubles as we'll as the singles. America
has called on its youthful Wimbledon
winners. John Van Ryn and Wilmer Al
lison for the doubles.
The two young Americans amply
proved their fitness for the post in yes
terday's practice when, tired from a
long trip from Spain, where they have
been playing exhibitions, they came on
the courts to take an easy two sets from
Tilden and Hunter.
Prem Is considered the strongest of
the German players by virtue of lis two
victories over English stars in the Euro
oean zone final. The young doctor, who
holds the German championship, scored
the deciding victory for Germany
against England by winning the exciting
final match by default after H. w.
Bunny Austin collapsed Prem was
within one game OF victory when his on
ponent had to default. Prem also de-
feated j. c. Gregory in straight sets.

FRENCH ARE CALM
AS TO CUP TENNIS
Betting is a. to ! That They
Will Retain HonorS in
Challenge Round.
BY THOMAS T. TOPPING,
Associated Press STAG Writer.

~ ARTS, July 18-Regardless of
whether the United States or
Germany is to be the opposing
nations, France is looking forward
without undue nervousness TO
the Davis Cup tennis challenge rouno
here July IS, 81 and %. The betting
is four to one that France retains the
cup.
French confidence was increased by
the results of the French and British
On the way to the
final at Wimbledon the tri-color players
met and defeated Bill Tilden. John
Hennessey, John Van Ryn, Wilmer ALI
son and George Lott while Daniel Prem
and Hans Moldenhauer, German singles
aces, were trimmed by Christian Bous-
sus and Henri Cochet respectively IN
this countrys title event.
Pierre Gillou, veteran on-playlng
captain of the French Davis Cup team,
said that although the final decision as
to the selection of his players will not
be made until the eve Of the matches,
it now looks as though Rene Lacoste
and Cochet will play the singles and
Cochet and Jean Borotra the doubles.
This is the same lineup that turned
back the Americans last year. Gillou'S
problem of selection has been compli-
Gated somewhat by severe cold
Lacoste contracted recently, Wnlcn may
keep him out of action.
THAT Van Ryn-Allison doubles team
looks dangerous" Gillou commented,
land we must face them. with our best
bet"
Lacoste. who did not enter the British
but crossed to Wimbledon
to watch the final between his team
mates, Borotra and Cochet, waxed en-
over the style displayed by
Cochet.
Il fail to see any one in the tennis
world capable of beating Cochet this
year If he maintains his present form"
the taciturn one remarked.
All the members of the French team
are hopeful that Tilden will not be
left out of the lineup provided the
United States team fulfllls predictions
and advances to the challenge round at
expense.
Bill was always spectacular, in vic
tory or defeat" said Gillou. Should
he be kept of the American team 1t
would mean the passing Of a great
world tents figure"

BIGGER GOLF BALL
IS FINDING FAVOR
Newly Adopted Sphere More
Responsive to Delicate
Iron Shots.
BY w. r. McCALLUM.

LII that has been written in
~ derogatory vein about the new
"A standard golf ball, is very much
1 \ the bunk. The new ball is a
better and more satisfactory
ball to play than the present jack
rabbit ball. 1t puts better, sits up bet
ter through the fairway, is far easier
to control from the iron clubs. does
not respond as quickly or as fast to
poorly hit shots, and is, on the whole,
a better ball than the present sphere.
Bob Barnett of Chevy Chase got In a
limited supply OF the new balls the
other day and invited the writer to
play with him-both using the new
bali. We found the following facts
concerning this much-talked about
sphere, which will become the only
golf ball legally in use in the United
States after Deceber 81, 1929.
From the tee. it is perhaps three or
four yards shorter than the old or
present ball.
Goes Farther Down Wind.
Down the wind, it goes farther than
the present ball.
into the wind, it demands better
and finer hitting than the jack-rabbit

From the iron clubs it responds more

badly hit shot goes nowhere. 1t abso-
lutely takes accurate hitting with the
iron clubs, while the old ball could be
struck in slip-shod fashion and get
there just the same.
On the putting green it hugs the line
like the heavier, smaller ball, ana II
ducks in the cup as II drawn in by a
hand.
1t responds better to a we'll hit chip or
short pitch shot than the present Dali
And how it sits down on the niblic shot
Gf we'll hiD. 1t won't run and jump
across the green like the present ball
On the green 1t can be struck firmer and
with greater assurance that it will not
run far pass the hole.
Through the fairway, because OF It's
larger size, it sits up better and offers
a more inviting target to hit.
Pleasant Surprise.
On the whole, we are sure 1t will be a
pleasant surprise for the great bulk OF
golfers. The theory that it will greatly
decrease distance from the tee is not
true. 1t will go just as far for the aver
age golfer, If he hits it well. But 1t will
not go as far for the gent who seldom
cracks 80 if he does not hit as clearly
as he should.
Mr.. 80 Shooter will find it far easier
to get w IN the air than the old ball,
and he will not find his we'll hit pitch
shots scurrying across the green into
traps of dismal woe. He will find it re-
quires a little firmer touch on the put
ting green, and consequently. that he
can hit his putt on keen green's with
little more confidence.
All in ALL we found it very satisfac-
tory ball to play, comparable in every
way with the old ball from the stand
point of distance, demanding a little
cleaner hitting, and instilling a more
deep seated foundation of confidence.
The United States Golf Association, in
our judgment, has done fine piece of
legislating in putting this new ball out
as the standard ball to be used for golf.

Square Stance
May Give Hook

All good golfers face the hole at
the finish of a pitch, as in all
strokes. In the long woods from
square or closed stance the long
swing with body pivot turns them
into this position as they finish.
But the pitch, an arm shot, lacks
the force to so turn them. So, they
partially turn themselves toward the
hole at stance by taking an open
one. Thus the orthodox finish. It's
proof that a shot is well played.
This open stance permits one to
swing the arms freely back and
forth clear of the body and along
the line you wish to guide the
shorter shots. Try square stance
for a pitch and you'll most likely
hook it. Reason-the arm swing
here forces the arms out and across
the ball at contact, instead of
straight through it from the inside.
A needed point in pitching is to
stroke the ball so that the clubhead
speed is greatest at contact. When
that is done the hands will be about
the same height from the ground
at the finish as they were at the top
of the backswing.
