M United States Davis Cup ten
1v mis- team entered the final day
Of It's series Of matches with
Canada today, leading two matches to
one, and heavily favored to advance to
the interzone final with Argentina.
The invaders needed TO win only one
Of the last two singles matches to clinch
the series. The first match on today's
program pitted Sidney B. Wood, jr., Of
New York against the Canadian vet
eran, DR.. Jack Wright. The lanky New
York youngster, Frank Shields, and
Marcel Rainville Of Montreal, both Of
whom chalked up victories in the OPEN
ing singles matches Thursday, meet in
the final.
Wood, who has been OF form, was
beaten in i've sets by Rainville on
Thursday, but there was considerable
doubt whether the little Montreal star
could cope with Shields smashing
game Nor was it by any means cer-
tain that Wood would continue in his
slump long enough for DR.. Wright to
beat him and deadlock the series.
Shields and Wood swept through
Wright and Rainville in straight sets,
S-6. 60, 60, in doubles yesterday.
Shields had to carry the burden of the
play. but he was fully up to 1t.

IF the Brooklyn Robins do moth

providing one Of the National
Leagues leading puzzles. Picked
as one of the leaders before the
season started, the Robins have
failed to come through so far; and

Brooklyn fans were about ready 10

came through yesterday with q con.
vincing demonstration that answered

Dodgers Win Tive.
The Phillies had no left-handers ready
TO send against Brooklyn Yesterday. but
so far as collecting hits was concerned
the Robins Jared little better than they
had against the southpaws. The diff
ference was that they settled down 70
the business of winning ball games,
played the way they really can, and
came out with two victories and o hold
on fifth place in the standing.
Brooklyn collected only II hits In the
two games on Ray Benge, Frank Watt
and Fidgety Phil Collins, but they made
them good for runs, winning, 8 10 2
and to 2. In the first clash they
punched three Of their blows for 2 runs
in the sixth inning. In the second,
Babe Herman clouted q homer with
two aboard in the third inning and
Johnny Frederick clouted another with
empty bases to put the game on ice.
Fine pitching by Dazzy Vance and Joe
Shaute, who beat the Phils for the
fourth time this year, did the rest. The
Dazzler was forced out in the ninth
inning of the first game when Pinky
Whitney's drive hit him In the face.
Climb Two NOtches.
The double victory enabled Brooklyn
to exchange places with the Phils,
jumping from seventh place to NTH,
while the idle Pittsburgh Pirates re-
manned in sixth.
This twin bill was the only action
in the National League as the clubs

Need, Says Rajah

CHICAGO, May 2S (R.-Plenty Of
~ hard work is chiefly what the
Chicago Cubs need to make
them snap out of their lethargy.
This, at least, Is the opinion Of Man
ager Rogers Hornsby, who today
brought the Bruins back home in an
attempt to exact q measure of ven
geance for the disappointments in
the East.
The Cubs will tackle Pittsburgh in
a three-gan1e series, and HornSby is
determined to work his players until
it hurts.
william L. Veeck, president Of the
club, came to the defense Of the
players, who returned from their
Eastern trip beaten In four out Of SIX
starts. He declared there was moth
ing wrong with the Cubs.
"They haven't been playing high
class ball." President Veeck ex-
planned, ''but every team passes
through periods when it isn't click
ing. The reports that Hornsby has
been made to answer for the Cubs
showing in the East are not true.
Hornsby is q great player and a
splendid leader Base ball will come
to know that before the season is

fighting as the Garden has seen.

Even in victory Battalino at no time
flashed the sort of form that has come
TO be associated with champions. He
chased La Barba all around the ring
but wasn't exactly sure what to do with
him once he overlook him.
All in all, 1t was a very sad affair and
the crowd Of 9,100 signified its hearty
disapproval first by jeers and boos and
nnally with a shower Of inaccurately
aimed pennies.
In justice to the champion, however
It must be said that he tried to make q
nght OF 1t. He forced what fighting
there was, but his own awkwardness
contrived to hinder the effectiveness OF
his attack.
La Barba Drab.
La Barba, usually one of the most
aggressive Of battlers, opened up only
In flashes. The Californian, making
scarcely a single offensive move, Drop
PED the first four rounds. He rallied Q
little in the fifth, won it and the next
three as well. After drab, even wres-
Ting in the ninth and tenth, BattaIino
carried the eleventh and twelfth, Again
La Barba came out of his letharRiC
state long enough to win the thirteenth
and fourteenth, but Battalino, much the
stronger Of the two, won the fifteenth
and with 1t the decision.
Battalino just made the class limit
OF l26 pounds. La Barba weighed 1851
