AMERICANS SEEM
BETTER BALANCED
Teutons, However, Appear on
Their Way to Power in
Davis Cup Play.
BY ALLAN J. GOULD.
Associated Press Sports Editor.

NEW YORK, July 16.-By a strange
as we'll as dramatic twist Of athletic
fortunes, Germany, France and Amer
lea are the principals in the closing
Davis Cup tennis conflict of 1929. The
competition in the most international
of all sports contests has narrowed
down to a German American duel Tor
the right to challenge the cup-holding
nation-France.
The United States seems to have too
much all-round strength for Germany
to overcome in the interZone finals this
week end at Berlin, but the signs are
unn1istakable that the TeutonS now
are on the way to being definite
power in Davis Cup affairs.
France, the first to break up the old
Anglo-Saxon domination of the tennis
courts, in a year or so may md keener
rivalry from Berlin's hard-court prod
ucts than she has had from the more
clustered domains of Wimbledon and
Germantown.
Australia, once so dominant, has
passed from the contending picture, at
least for the time being. England's
gesture of revival is not yet conclusive.
The United States still is seeking to
develop talent to bring back some OF
the glory of the old Tilden- Johnston
dynasty Germany, on the other hand,
in Moldenhauer and Prem, appears 10
possess two unusually promising stars
who may develop as fast as did
Lacoste and Cochet for France.
Germany has taken only three sea-
sons of competition to gain the top in
the European zone of Davis Cup COM
petition after l3-year absence from
the field. The first of Frances three
musketeers" to enter the Davis Cup
limelight were Henri Cochet and Jean
Borotra, in 1922. 1t was not until 1927
that the galloping Gauls broke down
Americas defense to win the cup.

the heads of those golfers who play but
do not turn in score cards Regarding
the Southgate Cup, which is to go to
the senior who turns in the lowest net
score during July, Gen. Shanks says
that no score cards have yet been
turned in, adding that "a very poor
score may win through neglect of the

are shooting every day."

OF course, the left wrist must have
a firm grip, else your follow through
will wobble because Of the clubhead
taking turf.
Chick Fraser employs his right
arm chiefly in stroking through the
ball for a pitch. That's why you
see his right hand coming around
and over the top Of the shaft at the
finish. Some will tell you to get the
right shoulder in low as you hit.
Forget it. The right shoulder has
to do this. If you force it the

plans announced today from the ONCE
Of S. G. Leoffler conceSsionnaire of the

winner Of the first flight to be named
the District municipal links champion.
Not for several years has there been
held a true public links championship.
The leader in the qualifying round for
the national public links title locally. by
tacit consent, has been given the title
Of District municipal links king. This
tacit admission of titular rank fell to
Charles w. Cole, jr., for the past two
years. But this year Leoffier proposes
to hold a match-play tourney as regu-
lar event to settle once and for all the
question of the 1929 local municipal
course title holder. Some persons feel
it is unfair to call the leader of the
national public links team the cham
pion, since the qualifiers for the ma
tional team play in medal-play test.
while the true test of amateur golf, they
assert, is at match play. This is one Of
the reasons behind the proposal to hold
match-play tournament later in the
year to determine the city municipal
links champions.
The new title holder will take rank
with some notable golfers. for such fine
players as George j. Voigt, John C..
Shorey and A. L. Houghton have held
the municipal links championship.
