 The tall Philadelphians victory squared the series and left the issue to be decided in the final singles match between Cochet and George Lott. 24year- old star from the Uni- rersity of Chicago, playing in his first Davis cup challenge round.
 In crisis like this, Cochet was unbeatable. He stormed his way through Lofts defense for 6-1, s-6, 6-9, 6-3 triumph.
 Lott fell before Borotra in his first singles match on Friday.
 American supporters obtained their chief thrill perhaps, on Satur day when they saw the young Wilmer Allison and John Van Ryn, Wimbledon cham pions, trounce Cochet and Borotra in the doubles in straight sets. With Lott. Allison, Van Ryn and other improving rapidly, some experts have hopes that the cup will return to the United States within the next few years.
 But the chances are that France will do little worrying for some time to come-not at least as long as they have Cochet. Borotra. Rene La- coste and others to depend upon.

MECHANICAL PILOT
 FOR PLANES SEEN
Williams and Yancey Predict
 New Era in Aviation

New York, July 2s UP)-The day when a mechanical pilot will steer planes across the Atlantic was visioned by Roger Q. Williams and Lewis Yancey, Maine-to- Rome fliers when they returned on the United States liner Republic.
 The f1iers, who reached Rome only after a stop at santander, Spain, be- cause of fuel shortage, were met down the bay by the mayors recep- tion committee yesterday and today they began attending functions which are part of three-day cele- bration arranged in their honor.
 Both Williams and Yancey gave all the credit for their achievement to the plane Pathfinder" which they brought back with them. In regard to ocean flying, Williams said:
 "An automatic pilot can do the trick, a mechanical device that can keep a plane on an even keel and on a fixed course. That's all you need"
 Late today Williams and Yancey will be received at City Hall. After the celebration here they will go 10 Chicago, Yancey's home city, where a three-da welcome also has been arranged.

 Suddenly, there came a chorus of screams. Children cried. adults howled. Some collapsed in the va ter and were pulled into boats. Tho jellyfish, practically a legend +o most of the bathers, had attached themselves to more than 100 per sons.
 As fast as the jellyfish victims were pulled ashore. they were rush. ed to Sylvester hospital where they were treated for shock and painful burning, itching rash inflicted by the little fish. Within a short time the beach was deserted.
 Officials at the state bathhouse at Nantasket said there was no real danger in jellyfish poisoning. which is nothing more than a severe skin irritation that disappears within q short time. The irritation is caused by an acid which the fish elects when it comes into contact with the body of the bather.

MANDELL ID RISK
 TITLE THIS WEEK
Lightweight Champion Meets
 CanZoneri in Chicago Friday

New York, July 29-Fistic cham pions have been having a tough time of it in recent weeks, but Sam my Mandell. king of the lightweights believes he can avoid the current jinx when he steps into the ring against Tony Canzoneri at Chicago next Friday night.
 Fate has been unkind to cham pions recently, no fewer than four having bit the dust last week. Joe Dundee dropped his welterweight crown to Jackie Fields at Detroit; Al Singer knoc.:ed out Andre Routis featherweight champion, in an over weight fight: Mushy Callahan, junior welterweight title holder. was sound ly beaten by Jack Berg in another non-titular battle; and Al Brown, New York states nominee for the bantamweight title. was outpointe6 in a non-championship bout by Bat Battalino.
 Mandell, hoverer believes he can take care of himself and those who
 
 New York last year are inclined to agree with him. McLarnin. a much more dangerous puncher than Can zoneri, never found the Rockford flash still long enough to hit him solidly.
 Although Canzoneri does not rate with McLarnin as puncher he may be more difficult for Mandell to beat, The champion probably will be a 7 to favorite at least.
 Ray Miller. Chicago lightweight and Luis Vincenttine of Chile, hook up in the eight-round semi-final and Basil Galiano, New Orleans, and Andy Callahan of Boston, are matched in another eight-rounder.
 Kid Chocolate is booked to meet Steve Smith. of Bridgeport. Conn.,, in a 1o-round bout at Chicago Tuesday night.

SOKOLS BOW TO BURRITTS
 IN CITY SERIES CONTEST
Slugging Finish Changes Entire Aspect of Battle and Results in to 6 Verdict - Johnny Rose Hits a Tripl With Two On to Decide Game - Losers Threaten All During Scrap-Winners Are Mighty Lucky to Come Out On Long End-Detais

The Burritts put on slugging finish at St. Mary's field yesterday and defeated the Sokols z to 6 m their first city series game. The telling blow was struck by Johnny Rose who tripled to left with mates on first and second and two out in the ninth inning with the Burritts two runs behind. His clout sent in the tying run and he scored himself when Parsons shot a single through shortstop.
 During the entire games the So- kols appeared to have the edge on the winners but in the last and fourth innings they weakened and blew the game. There was little TO choose between the pitching of Bruno Kania for the winners and Brooks for the losers but the win ners managed to get their hits at the right time.
 The Sokols lost little time in go- ing into the lead. Wojack started the first frame with a single to cen- ter and was sacrificed to second by Charlow from where he scored on Milewski's one-base blow.
 In the second it appeared as though the Sokols would run wild as they put over three more runs. These resulted from Charlow's two- base smash with the bases loaded. Singles by Gernsky and Slivinski, pass to Brooks and two f1elders' choices placed the runners in posi- tion with two out so they could count when Charlow connected.
