U:S:NETCUPTEAM
NOW GIVEN CHANCE
France, Though, Despite Loss
of Lacoste, Is Favored
In Challenge Round.
BY the Associated Press.

ny SuO AbbOCI1Jc0 ETe6Bs
America plays France this week on
the red clay courts of the Roland Garros
Stadium for the fifth time in the Davis
Cup challenge round. What seemed at
the start to be Just another pleasant
trip for this country's team has de-
veloped into prospects of q real battle.
France will be favored to win, with or
without the ailing Rene Lacoste, but
the Americans now have at least q
fighting chance and a fighting array.
The sensational young doubles team
OF John Van Ryn and Wilmer Allison,
yictors over the French champions as
they went on to win at Wimbledon,
looms as decisive factor. Not only
will they have a good opportunity to
score a point for the challengers, but
they will give Big Bill Tilden the day
OF rest between singles matches that
the veteran needs. Big Bill no longer
can shoulder the three-day burden. The
memory Is still vivid of how he came
to grief on the last day Of the challenge
round Of 1927 at Germantown, where
the French rallied on the last day to
win the Davis Cup for the first time.
He has scored only one singles victory
in each Of the last three challenge
rounds.
France, minus Lacoste, will count upon
Henri Cochet for double victory in the
singles. but T1lden, as well as Fighting
George Lott. may upset Jean Borotra,
assuming the Basque Is given the other
singles assignment for the cupholders.
At least there are the elements of a
much closer contest than appeared
possible month ago.

Associated Press Sports Writer.


~ PHILADELPHIA, September 80 up.
- William Wrigley, jr., president
of the Chicago Cubs, 68 years
i of age today, will get birthday
present from the world series
regardless of the outcome. If his Ma
tional League champions win 1t will be
a triumph for the city of his adoption.
If the Athletics beat back the rush OF
the Bruins it will be victory for the
city of his nativity.
had his birthday in April, but he, too,
is in the position of winning II he loses,
for he also was born in Philadelphia, not
far from the birthplace Of his employer.
although these events took place ~
years apart. Joe, however, probably will
not be concerned with civic pride when
the world series base hits begin to ring
out.
Philadelphians seem to think that
their team in the Autumn classic Is the
Athletics, but certainly they have some
interest In the Cubs, directed by these
two native sons.
Born in Same Section.
The 1929 series is as close to an all
Philadelphia affair as has been dealt
by the base ball cards. Connie Mack
was born in New England, but has lived
in Philadelphia for 80 years. The
Shibes, Tom and John, born and reared
in the City of Brotherly Love, and Mack
own the AS.
Wrigley and Mccarthy were born
within two blocks of each other in Ger
ward of Philadelphia. Wrigley, however,
left the historic precincts where the
battle of Germantown was fought In the
Revolutionary War just about the time
Mccarthy first saw the light. Wrigley's
mother, Mrs. w. F. Wrigley, ST., who is
81 years Of age, makes her home in
Germantown.
Fate Steps In.
Mccarthy was a lad of IA when Con-
ME Mack won his first American
1902. Little Joe had no thought then
that quarter of a century later he
would meet his idol face to face on a
base ball battlefield for the games
richest prize. Three years later, when
Connie brought his Athletics home in
front again. young Mccarthy was old
enough to play a good game, but his
ambitions even then did not extend to
a post at the head Of championship
club.
Mccarthy now lives in Buffalo, N. Y,
but he recalls without difficulty the
days when he played for the Chew
A. A. A. base ball organization, named
for the famous Chew Mansion, which
was the center of the battle Of Ger
mantown in 1777. Then George Wash
ington led the best team Germantown
ever had until Connie Mack came along
to build up the Athletics and Wrigley
and Mccarthy went away to collaborate
on the Cubs.
