r YATTSV1LLE, Md, July 40
- Mayor Lemuel L. Gray will
toss the first shoe and formally
open the horseshoe pitching
tournament under the auspices of The
Evening Star in Magruder Park here
next Monday. The town chief Is CIV
ing Tournament Chairman Oscar Hiser
his heartiest support in making the
event big success.
DR.. P. F. Brookens, chairman Of the
Parks and Fairgrounds Committee of
the Hyattsville Common Council said
today that he was glad Magruder Park,
which is the towns community recrea-
ton center, gift of former Mayor
William P. Magruder. had again been
selected as the scene of the tourna-
ment. He announced that he would
see to it that everything possible was
done to put the park in tip top shape
for the event.
Tourney Helped Park.
DR.. Brookens, who also was chairman
of the Parks and Fairgrounds Com
mittee three years ago when the flrst
Star tournament was held in Magruder
Park. said that the affair did much to
establish the park as a real community
center. The tournament was the first
event Of consequence to be held there.
For several years prior to the open
ing of Magruder Park DR.. BrookenS
along with other prominent citizens
realized that one of the towns biggest
needs was a community recreation
center. After former Mayor Magruder
had presented the town the spacious
plot in West Hyattsville, DR.. Brookens,
with former City Palmer Daniel Cox
Fahey. jr., and others began work on
plans designed to make the park place
where young and old Of the town would
want to congregate.
DR.. Brookens said The Star tourna-
ment came just at the right time. 1t
drew many citizens to the park and
they saw what wonderful opportunities
it had as a community gathering place
and became enthusiastic in plans for
its development.
There were some folk who doubted
whether the park, because Of the fact
that 1t IS located considerable distance
from the center of the town, would
really prove attractive. But as DR..
Brookens pointed out today. after the
holding of the first Star tournament
people contracted the habit of coming
to the place and now the base ball
diamond is regularly used and plans
are going forward for the installation
Of other attractions.

SHIELDS FALTERS
4 IN CRITICAL MATCH
British Davis Cup Victory
SidetrackS YankS First
Time Since 1919.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ARTS, July 20.-For the first
- time since 1919 the United
States will be forced to
stand by while the tennis
stars of other nations fight 1t out
in the Davis Cup challenge round.
Great Britain's brilliant young
sters, Henry w. Bunny Austin
and Frederick J. Perry swept
Frank Shields and Sydney B.
Wood off the court in Roland
Garros Stadium in the final two
singles matches of the interZone
finals yesterday. Britain won the
series, three matches to two, and
gained the right to battle France
in the challenge round starting
here Friday.
Trailing two matches to one going
into the final day, Great Britain
promptly tied the count when Perry
blasted his way to victory through
Wood. 6-3. 80, 6-3, 6-3, and
Austin.
Shields started out with a bang to
lead So only to hit a streak Of erratic
tennis and lose the first set, IS, and
the next two and the match, 6-3, IS.
Shields Defeat a Blow.
Woods defeat by Perry had not been
entirely unexpected, but Austin's straight
set triumph over Shields left the crowd
of 5000 stunned. But the young British
stylist deservedly won. He was much
the steadier of the two, Shields falling
into repeated errors. especially in criti-
cal moments where they hurt most.
A British victory hardly had been
believed possible after George Lott and
John Van Ryn gave the United States
a 2-1 lead by capturing the doubles
from Perry and George Patrick Hughes
on Saturday.
Shields beat the slight Briton at VIM
bledon and there seemed to be no rea-
son why he couldn't repeat.
Despite its fine showing against
America, the British team will be I'M
derdogs in the series with France. Most
tennis experts figured that America was
equipped to give the French a better
battle for the cup than the British:
The apparent return to form OF Henri
Cochet has left. France in an excellent
position to gain the cup for the nth
successive year.
Out First Time Since 1920.
The United States, until its elimina-
ton yesterday, had reached the Davis
Cup challenge round every year since
1920, when Big Bill Tilden and Little
Bill Johnston captured it from Aus
tralasia Tilden and Johnston and
others defended it until 1927, when the
French began their reign.
In 1919, the United States was not
one of the six nations that decided to
play for the cup despite the upheavals
attending the end of the World War,
and Great Britain and Australasia
fought it out in the challenge round,
Australasia winning. But in 1913 ana
1914 before the war halted the COM
petition entirely for four years. America
reached the final round, making 1t Is
straight challenge rounds for the United
States with the exception of 1919.

Far from considering that Wood md
