MERELY HOPEFUL
OF TURNING TRICK
Gain an, Unexpected Victory
Over Britons and May
Do Same to Yanks.
BY w. E. ANGLY,
Associated Press staff Writer.


~ ERLIN. July 10 (Ap-Proud of
their rapid rise in sports, Ger
mans by the thousands turned
counter between their best ten
MS players and those of the United
States. meeting at the Red and White
Club in the interzone finals OF the
Davis Cup competition.
To have reached this stage in the
great international competition is one
of the finest feathers that has been put
in Germany's hat since the country be-
gan to take sport seriously with the
end of the World War. Tickets for
the match. which will occupy three
afternoons. are difficult to obtain today
and those who are lucky enough to ind
them must pay four or five times the
printed price.
Having beaten England in the
European zone final. the German players
and their admiring public are not at
ell pessimistic over their chances
against the Americans.
We did not expect to beat England
but we did We don't expect to beat
America but we might" just about
sums up the attitude of the German
tennis writer's and those fans who be-
lieve what they read in the papers.
The general expectation is that Big
Bill Tilden, lanky leader of the Ameri-
can forces, will tuck away the first
victory for America when he opens
the three-day tourney this afternoon
with Hans Moldenhauer opposing him.
But none of the German sportSmen
who have been watching the rival
teams in practice is willing to concede
that Americas other singles player,
Frank Hunter, can dispose of Daniel
Prem. young German ace, without a
considerable struggle, if at all. There
are indeed many who think tonight
will find the two nations tied at one
match each.
The belief is based on the fact that
Prem is manifestly getting better each
day while Hunter has made the least
impressive showing of any of the four
Americans brought here for the inter-
zone final. Hunters notable weakness
is expected to offer good opening for
Prem, whose tennis star is most Ger
tainly on the rise. and many Germans
think he will be able to score an easy
victory over the hdrd-driving Ameri-
can by taking advantage of this weak
ness.
Society, whether 1t plays tennis or
not. is more or less agog over the inter-
national matches, which are something
new on Berlin's calendar of what one
must see. The fine comfortable wicker
arm chairs, which look down upon the
end Of the court. all have been gobblcd
up by people with titles or money or
both. while many others who bear the
same distinctions must be content with
hard wooden seat in the side stands
at many times its original price.

Richards Picks Yankees
To Do,Dn German Netn1en
BY VINCENT RICHARDS,

nhShhNDos
Tennis Champion of the World
After more than two months play
in the American and European zones,
the United States and Germany, as
the respective winners in these sec
lions. come to grips today, tomorrow
and Sunday in the interZone match
to see which will take on France
next week in the challenge round.
The interest of the tennis world
centers on the match, for 1t finds
a new nation bidding for world SUI
premacy. and the struggle promises
to be real.
The fact that the American team
had so little trouble coming through
to the interzone match is to the ad-
vantage of Germany. for the Ger
mans met real opposition, and their
wins over Italy and England should
have bolstered their confidence.
Tilden will be on the firing line
for the United States in the singles,
and Van Ryn and Allison will take
care of the doubles. AS Frank Hunt
er was put on the team instead OF
George Lott. to the surprise OF
everyone, he will play the other
singles.
Germany's team In both singles
and doubles will consist of the men
who beat England, Hans Modem
hauer and Daniel Prem.
Moldenhauer and Prem are tough
nuts in singles. Each beat Bunny
Austin, Englands pride. and as Aus
tin beat Hunter at Wimbledon. it
looks as though Frank would have
battle on his hands in the singles.
But even if he should lose both
singles matches, believe the United
States will come through. Tilden
ought to be better than either of
the Germans. and I favor Van Ryn
and Allison to win the doubles.
