H|LDRETH BACK
 IN WINNING FORM
Rancocas Stable of Harry Sin. clair Will Be Feared Everywhere

New York. April e6 P-"Uncle Sam" Hildreth is back in his favor te game-that of winning horse races.
 To the casual sport patron such a statement may mean little but to the devotee of the ponies it means that the Rancocas stable of H. Sinclair will be feared wherever it's thor oughbreds are sent to the post.
 Samuel Clay Hildreth has been saddiing winners on the American turf for more than quarter of q century. rising from the position Of a jockey on western quarter mile tracks to a ranking place among thoroughbred trainers. When the mighty Zev was making d show Of Americas and England's best in 1923. il was Hildreth who saw the horse always was in perfect condi- ton. That year ended the three- year reign of the Rancocas stable as the leading money winning stable of the country but the name Hildreth has always been respected.
 Many of his friends said Hildreth tended illness forced his retirement from active training Of the Sinclair runners But Uncle Sam" is back after wintering on the Sinclair estate in New Jersey. He celebrated his return by saddling three winners and m hA yNn days of racing at Jamaica. His vic. tories included the historic Paumon- ok handicap with Mei Foo. candidate for the Preakness and the Derby.
 Last season was the first in many years that Hlldreth did not finish up among the leading trainers. The fact that he raced very little after June cost hlm his high standing. He saddled - winners the year pre- vious. Those who know the condi- ton Of the present string under his wing are predicting that the trainer who leads Hidrefh will carry off major honors in 1929.

e. the Associated Press
II AEIS, May 1.-THE French
- feminine singles title at tennis
is conceded to be a gift for
4 Helen Wills. should she COM
pete in the international hard
court championships beginning at the
Roland Garros Stadium. May 10.
French tennis fans and officials are
quite reconciled to the idea that
foreign woman will capture the French
title. They point to Miss Wills as the
favorite with Senorita de Alvarez
granted an outside chance.
The French, however, are not pre-
pared to make any such concession as
regards the mems championship.
With Cochet LacoSte, Borotra, Brug-
non, BousSus, Landry, DeBuZelet and
the recently reinstated Paul Ferret to
draw from, they feel rather secure that
the title won last year by Cochet will
remain in France
France will have to put its hopes in
the Women's singles upon the veteran
Nine. Bordes, who as Mile. Broquedis
won the Olympic championship at
Stockholm in 1912 and later as Nine.
Blllout was Suzanne Lenglens keenest
adversary for several years.
Nine. Golding, another veteran of
pre-war tennis battles. and Mime. Vaus-
Sard have practically retired
Even the most rabid French fans
admit that none of the ranking woman
players has a ghost of a chance to
defeat either Miss Helen Wills or SEN
orita de Alvarez. 1t is doubtful if any
of them can even capture a single set
from Miss Wills.

GREAT CORNELL CREW
LIVES UP TO NOTICES

By the Associated Press.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. May 11.-Jim
Wray's claim that he has the best Cor
nell crew in many years was proved
mere this evening when the Ithacan
varsity eight ripped through the choppy
waters of the Charles River to defeat
the Technology crew by two and a half
lengths and Harvard by almost four
lengths in triangular mile and three
quarters race. Cornells time was 20 35
seconds.
The Cornell freshman eight defeated
The Crimson. yearlings by a length in
4 mile and three quarters dual race and
the junior varsity event went to Har-
ward which finished a scant three feet
ahead Of Technology. Cornell trailed
a length behind
During the junior varsity race a
strong west wind churned up the basin
water to such an extent that the three
shells were Swamped few seconds after
they crossed the finish line. The Tech
shell. which sank about so feet off
shore, was broken in halves by the
weight of the water.
These conditions improved after sun
started the wind had lightened and the
basin was somewhat smoother At the
three Quarter mark Tech was a
quarter length in front and Cornell and
Harvard were even. Cornell's short
and fast Stroking jumped its shell into
a lead of length at the mile mark. In
the last half-mile stretch Cornell had
the race we'll in hand.

YOUNG j. S. TEAM I
MAY Be EXTENDED
Lott Is Not Likely to Play
Unless One of Other Trio
Is Injured.
BY VINCENT RICHARDS,

- ELECTION of George Lott, John
Hennessey. John Van Ryn and
Wilmer Allison for the Davis Cup
~ team was in accordance with
general expectations.
AS the four top ranking players after
Tilden and Hunter who were not avail
able for the play in the American zone
because of their trip abroad, they were
in line for the honor and the distin-
guished records of all four this year
clinched the positions for them.
Hennessey, Van Ryn and Allison will
bear the burden Of the play against
Canada, and probably throughout the
American zone ties. Lott is In school
at the University of Chicago and VIII
not be called unless one OF the other
three is incapacitated, in which event
he will be drafted. Should the United
States clean up in the American zone
1 expect to see him taken abroad, Tor
Lott is oe of the finest young pres
poets, and is also the third ranking
player of the United States.

think that the United States is to have

STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE

! in the exhibition match at the Manor
Club next Sunday, which has been ar
ranged to mark the formal opening OF
the new nine-hoie layout Chairman
Ray F. Garrity of the golf committee is
hopeful that Roland r. Mackenzie will
be able to leave New York and come
to Washington to play in the match
He will substitute another first class
amateur if Mackenzie comes for the
contest. If Roland is unable to play.
Garrity plans to ask Fred Mcleod of
Columbia to play with AL Treder of
Manor against Miller B. STEVENSON and
Harry G. Pitt, amateur champion of
Washington and the mid-Atlantic sec
tor respectively. The match will start
about o'clock.
Each team boasting of victory over
their opponents, A. L. Houghton of the
Haroer Country Club and Tony Syl-
veSter of Bannockburn, will match
shots again this afternoon at the Army
Navy and Marine Country Club, With
Frank Hartig and r. Cliff McKimmie,
professionals at the service organiza-
ton. Houghton and Sylvester won the
first engagement, while Hartig and
McKimmie squared matters in match
played last Sunday Today's contest
will start at 1870 o'clock.
The formal opening of the Harper
Country Club scheduled to be celebrated
with a professional contest, in which
IL pros were to compete for a purse of
$500, has been postponed from May 10
to a later date.
Several shots which Harry A. Grant
of Indian Spring claims were topping
good shots" were made at the ninth
hole at Town and Country last week.
One of the perpetrators of this type of
shot was Harry Allen of Indian Spring.
who topped his third shot and the ball
rolled up TO within 2 feet OF the hole.
There's more than one way to play
hole right" Allen said, as he sank his
putt for par 4.
Manor Club plans to install on the
fairWay of the practice hole out through
the woods toward the Norbeck- Rockville
pike a practice putting green which
may be used by the members for pitch
ing and putting.
All the tees at Congressional have
been re-sodded, contributing their bit
toward putting the course in the best
condition it ever has been in. Tony
Penna, assistant pro at Congressional,
says he never has seen a course in bet
ter shape than Congressional is in this
Spring.
Arthur e. Thorn, professional and
greenkeeper at the Town and Country
Club, has changed the sixth hole into
one of the hardest par affairs about
Washington by construction of new
tee. The hole will require two fine
shots by any man to reach the green.
From the back tee the hole is a par
affair, while from the front tee it will
become a par 4.
Once in a while Chick" Evans of Co.
lumbia gets hot" on his one course.
We recall few years ago how he played
the last nine holes in 35 with an on
the fifteenth hole. And just the other
day he scored 80 on the first nine,
which included on the par fifth
hole. A succession of brides was CHI
NAKED when he holed a chip shot for
bird 8 at the sixth hole. The con-
tributors were Albert r. Mackenzie and
Miller B. STEVENSON.
