In their matches with Canada and
Japan they faced stronger opposition
than they had looked for, and the con-
ditions were all in favor of their oppo-
snents in Montreal. John HenneSsey
and John Van Ryn are to be congratu-
lated on the way they rose to the occa-
sion in these two ties, and Van Ryn.
although he lost to Yoshiro Ohta of
Japan, the only match that the United
States dropped out of the Is showed
that he is going to be one of our best
bets in these international classics in
the future.
Cubans Disa ppoint.
The tie last week with Cuba turned
out to be a flop. I had been led to
believe that Gustavo Vollmer would
make trouble for the Americans. but it
turned out that his victories over Bor-
bolla and Tapia of Mexico at Havana
didn't mean anything. The Cuban
champion must have played fairly good
tennis to have beaten MeXico's two aces.
but he could not put up the same kind
of game at Detroit and was out
classed.
Capt. Ricardo Morales did not show
to any better advantage in their singles,
while in the doubles he and Herman
Upmann. who played in junior tourna-
ments in the United States last year,
were a set-up for Van Ryn and Wilmer
Allison.
The victory Of thu Americans in this
match sewed up the series after the
straight-set triumphs of Hennessey
and Van Ryn in the first two singles.
On the final day, when there was moth
ing at stake any longer, George Lott
and Allison were substituted for Hen
Messy and Van Ryn in the singles, and
won in straight sets also.
believe that we could have picked
q team from our second 10 that could
have easily beaten the Cubans on the
form they showed at Detroit. Whether
the same would have been true If the
tie had been played in Havana I won't
venture to say. AS general thing. a

THE seasons largest sectional golf
event has drawn the smallest
number of entries of any big
L affair held about Washington
and Baltimore this year.
Notwithstanding unremitting work by
officials of the Middle Atlantic Golf
Association, the entry list for the an
nual championship made public today
contains only 81 names.
Nineteen of the entrants are from
Washington clubs and include most Of
the leading players about the Capital.
A. P. Strobel of the Baltimore Coun-
try Club. where the tourney will start
Thursday, who is president Of the as
ISOLATION, today announced that post
entries will be received up to noon to-
morrow and the starting list will be
held open until that time.
Whether it is one factor or a COM
bination of factors that keeps the
entries down in the mid Atlantic affairs
can only be guessed, but 1t is a fact
that the list has been dwindling for
several years.
Last year at Congressional the tour
nament had fewer than 100 entries.
Strobel hopes that a number of golf
ers will take advantage of the extern
sion of time for enterting and send in
their entries to play. Prizes have been
purchased for six flights, which would
total 90 players, but if the entry list
is small, only four flights will be played.
A single qualifying round of l8 holes
will be played Thursday and most of
the Washington entrants will start in
the afternoon. Local rules of the Bal
timore Country Club. which make a

Nineteen Years Ago.
IN the Fall of 1910 the two world series
L entries were the Chicago Cubs and
the Philadelphia Athletics. There is a
good chance these same two ball clubs
will take over the job of collecting the
winners and the losers end in 1929.
The old series was the party that
saw the twilight of Miner Brown,
Tinker, Evers, Chance and others.
as McInnis, Collins, Barry and
Baker came on, riding the morning
sky. Now they also have long since
been supplanted. In that old series
a great young ball club crushed a
great old ball club and it is doubt
full II the game has known any
stronger teams. The Cubs won four
pennants in five years, and after
they slipped the Athletics won four
remnants in five years.
From 1906 through 1919 these two
clubs won eight pennants, which is
about all the testimony one requires
nant races of 1929. But they have
been practicing quick starts In that
general direction, and the odds are be-
ginning to lean that way as the June
campaign gets warming up.
Our athletes are supposed to get bet
ter and better, but few would contend
that the Cubs of 1929 are stronger than
the Cubs Of 1906, or that the Athletics
of 1929 are stronger than the Athletics
Of 1910.
TOday's Golf Dope.
eGTOO many golfers" says a golf
Il critic, "overconcentrate rather
than underconcentrate''
The trouble is that too many golfers
think of too many things. rather than
the one or two essential things.
THE idea" says Jim Barnes, sis
to think Of the right thing at the
right time" The idea also is to do
this thinking before the club gets
into action, for mental Interrupt
ton here is as bad as physical
fault"
Concentration should mean the
elimination of all useless thought. If,
for example, one is hurrying the back
swing, he should make it a point to
see that this back swing speed is re-
duced to a smoother flow of motion, and
for the moment attempt to think Of
nothing else.

Heat Bothers Cubans.
The heat is also said to have bothered
the Cubans. That might seem funny
to any one who knows how the sun
burns down in Havana, but down there
they have cool winds and in Detroit
there wasn't any relief at all from the
heat.
However, the Cubans weren't trying
to make excuses for their poor show
ing They knew that they we're out Of
their class, and took their defeat like
sportsmen. 1t is to be hoped that they
won't be discouraged from challenging
again next year.
AS matter of fact, they have reason
to feel satisfied with what they did this
year. No one gave them any chance to
beat Mexico, and yet they won the tie
by the big margin of to !.
If Vollmer and Morales could come
to the United States and play through
the whole Summer against our best
men, it would help their game sur
prisingly. That is the only way in
which they can expect to improve-by
taking on players who are better than
themselves.
That was the way the French got to
the top. They came to this country
year after year and went up against
the cream of the talent. They took
some bad beatings, too, in their first
years here, but they expected them and
didn't let the defeats bother them.
Instead, they profited by their expe-
riences, improved their strokes, learned
how to play the Americans. and finally
had their reward when they won the
cup for France for the first time
The Cubans and all other countries
that are challenging for the cup should
take this example of the French to
heart.

Duight Davis I5-Yem-Old Daughter Blossoms
q As Star AlIRound athlete at Girls School
BY CORINNE FRAZIEC:.

A WINNER of athletic laurels in
~ three sports and a strong con-
Il tender in a fourth, Helen Davis,
4 a 15-year -old daughter of Dwight
F. Davis, internationally known
sportsman and newly named Governor
General Of the Philippine Islands,
stands out as one of the most promis-
ing junior sportswomen of the Capital.
Although only in the second form
comparing to the sophomore year in
high SCHOOL,, Miss Davis won her letters
in three sports at Holton Arms School
this year, earning major emblem in
basket ball and minor letters in riding
and hockey. mo majors are given in
riding) In addition, she was quarter
finalist in the school tennis tourna-
ment, being eliminated last week by
Marian Wells, District junior cham
pion and title holder also at Holton
Arms.
Miss Davis is one of the two three
letter" girls in her class. Margaretta
Rowland, the other youthful athlete
with an equally enviable record, was a
member of the hockey, basket ball and
riding teams also. Both girls are in
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-06-04

the best eight riders" class at the
school and have figured prominently
in local horse shows this Spring. Miss
Davis won two cups in the Preece Rid
ing School event last month, capturing
first place In the saddle class and the
hunt team. She also won second place
in the National Capital Horse Show in
the best rider class.
On the basket ball field last Fall
Miss Davis surprised with her speed
and accuracy in the forward field,
showing an improvement over her game
of the previous season, which earned
for her a regular position on the varsity
squad. She also played forward on the
victorious Blue team in the Blue and
White championship, played within the
school.
She served as reserve wing on the
varsity hockey squad, and was one OF
the strong players on the Blue squad
in the interside tournament, which,
like the basket ball event, was won by
the Blues.
In addition to her participation in
these three sports. Helen Davis demon
strated conclusively that she has in
llerited her fathers talent for the net
game when she scored impt eSSively
over several opponents in the school
tourney and Succumbed only when
pitted again Marian Wells, senior and
the defending champion, whom she
extended, 8-6, 6-3. At Chevy Chase
Club, where Miss Davis practices, she
Is looked upon as one Of the outstand-
ing Corners" Already she gives a
stiff battle to her sister, Alice Davis
former Holton Arms net star, and her
cousin, Alta, who is also an experienced
player.
She's a Tall Lass,
Helen, the youngest of the three
daughters of the former Secretary of
War. is also the tallest, and has a
physique which reminds one strongly
place in women's international tennis
circles. The l5-year -old youngster
stands about feet inches today, and
weighs between 100 and 100 pounds
She is blond and distinctly feminine in
type, but sturdily built withal and with
an admirable temperament for the
game which probably will be her prin-
cipal sport after school days. Her
manner is always calm, with a reserve
amounting to shyness.
In this, too, she reminds one Of the
other Helen, being miss Of few words
and much action. According to her
tennis instructor at the club, if Helen
Davis applies herself consistently to
her game she has a rosy future on the
courts ahead of her.
When her parents go to the Philip
pines in the near future Helen will re-
main here, as she intends to complete
her schooling before leaving the
! country.

HELEN SAVES YANKS
FROM NET SHUTOUT
BY the Associated Press.

PARIS, June 4-France'S great ten
mis- players dominated the French hard
court championships, which ended here
yesterday.
Of the five titles at stake, France
won two outright and shared another
with England. Helen Wills captured
the women's singles for the second
year in succession to give the United
States its only title. The woman's
doubles went jointly to Spain and Hol-
land in the persons of Ella De Alvarez
and Kea Bouman.
Rene Lacoste, one Of the four great
French Davis Cup stars, was the out
standing figure among the men as
Miss Wills was among the women.
After taking the doubles title with Jean
Borotra, another French musketeer,
Lacoste regained the singles crown ty
defeating Borotra in hard-fought five
set final yesterday. Henri Cochet, who
won the singles crown last year, had
to be satisfied this time with the mixed
doubles title. which he and Eileen Ben
nett of England captured for the sec
ond consecutive year.
