Shields, the 1anky New Yorker who is second ranking player in the country, will not appear in ei- ther singles. or doubles play in the cup competition estarting Thursday at the Chevy Chase club. Washing ton, D. c.
 Single Spot, Too
 In yesterdays draw, Allison of Texas, No g in ranking, was matched against Marcel Rainville of Canada in the opening singles. He also will play in the doubles, paired with John Van Ryn of Phil adelphia.
 Shields had been slated for the No 2 singles berth on the team when its four members were an- ncunced three weeks ago. But he has failed to round into form in time to make the position, in the opinion of the selection committee. Meanw hile Allison developed into the 1882 court sensation.
 Allison had been proposed only for the cup doubles when the team was announced, but he clinched the singles berth last week when he defeated Shields at White Sulphur Springs. He had been given ser ious consideration several days be- lore that.
 Despite Shields ragged showing at Pinehurst, if he had downed Allison at the Springs, he un- dcubtedly would have held his place in cup play. But Allison beat him easily in straight sets. Bernon s. Prentice, chairman of the selec- ton committee, was a spectator.
 Allison is "HOt"
 In the opinion of the committee, Shields delayed his outdoor start too long this season. Pinehurst was his first important outdoor competition. But Allison had been perfecting his form at Havana, Miami, Houston and New Orleans. The experts believe the Texan now IS playing the best game of his career.
 Allison defeated Ellsworth Vines, the national champion. at New Or leans and at Pinehurst. Vines beat him in the final at White Sulphur Springs. Vines is the No singles man and is paired against Dr Jack Wright in the Canadian match.
 Has 8 Chance
 If the United States defeats Can ada in the opening American zone tie, Shields has the possibility of making the team when it plays the tie with Mexico at New Orleans in May. He is a big fellow and re- uuires time to get into champion slip form, For that reason, the selection committee still has confi- dence he may stage a comeback.

 At the time of the drive nu- merous boys were seated in front of the church and the ball bounced over their heads and kept on rolling down the mid- dle aisle of the church.
 \ mission was being held at the church when Murphy pOked it into the church and a few minutes later Rev William F. Lafiin, pastor of the church, ap- pcared outside with the sphere and practice was resumed. Mur- phy pitches for the Cardinals of Forcstville and realizing that he needed considerable batting practice took the opportunity by playing at the local field.
