NZACSDEFEAT.
SEEN At NET
By MICHAEL J. FOSTER


NEW YORK, May 26.-vernon
Prentice and Louis J. Carruthers
would have American tennis fans
believe that the United States is
in great danger of being sum.
marily removed from the Davis
Cup chase this weekend, when
Australia sends Jack Crawford
and Harry Hopman against Uncle
Sans racquet-wielding nephewS
at the Philadelphia Country Club.
Maybe so. But we doubt very
much whether the Aussies, max
ing their first really serious cup
bid since before the war, have
the team balance to upset the
American team.
They have no doubles tandem
to compare with Wilmer Allison
and John Van Ryn, and this de-
ficiency is almost certain to send
them down to defeat in the five
match series.
Hopman OutclaSSed
Hopman can hardly hope to
win his singles match from either
Allison or Ellsworth Vines, or
even Frank Shields, if the New
York boy is chosen ahead Of Alli-
son for a singles position.
Add to those two singles vic
tories for the United States the
doubles victory which Allison and
Van Ryn are 10-to-1 favorites to
achieve at the expense of Hop
man and Crawford. and you have
the three victories needed to send
our team into the final round of
the American zone with Brazil.
Doubtful
Doping" the series that way
means conceding Australia two
victories for Crawford. But we,
for one, are exceedingly doubtful
whether the powerful Australian
star can beat both Vines and
Allison.
If Americas national champion
is on his game, Crawford won't
stand a chance against his su-
perb driving. his dynamite SER
vice and his devastating work
up at the net. The AuSsieS' star
has a well-rounded game Of his
own,' but he can't get around
court the way Vines does, nor is
he anywhere near as effective
overhead and on service.

800 NEWSBOYS
= AWAIT PARTY

The 900 or more carrier boys
of The Washington Times and
Washington Herald are just living
the hours, minutes and days be-
fore their baseball party out at
Griffith Stadium Saturday where
medals for service and work dur
ing the past year will be pre-
Sented them by members of the
Washington baseball club and
Manager Walter Johnson.
For instance, the youngsters are
setting aside plans for their quick
delivery of paper routes Saturday
morning and afternoon in order
that they may be ready and wait
ing for the several busses which
have been chartered to ride them
to the ball park Saturday before
game time.
Special Box
Enjoying a ball game is just
half of what the youngsters have
to look forward to. First of;
they'll enjoy the privilege of shak-
ing hands with Walter johnson
and others of the Washington
baseball club.
Foremost will be the medals
they will receive for their excellent
service and work as carriers during
the past year. Executives of The
Times and Herald are
making the presentation Of these
medals so much more exciting by
the corralling Of Walter johnson
and his players as aWarders. And
what could be more thrilling than
to have a medal presented by
johnson and the several others,
namely, Joe Cronin, Joe Judge,
Ossie Bluege, Sammy West, Buddy
Myer. Heine Manush, and Lefty
Lloyd Brown?
Ten Honor Boys
Out of the 900 boys, 10 will
get these medals because of their
being outstanding in their work
during the past year. Washington
Times and Herald executives
would like to have medals pre-
sented to all of the 900 but OF
course this would take the entire
afternoon and, besides, according
to the rules of the organization
only the 10 best boys can get the
medals.
At any rate, an unusually en-
tertaining afternoon is the pros
pect. And as said before, the
carriers are counting the hours,
minutes, and days until Saturday
their day of days." if ever

PHELPS HOPES.
FOR VICTORY

The old Terminal Bulldog"
Billy Strickler, is getting ready
for what many believe will be a
shellacking Tuesday night when
he squares off with Cowboy owen
Phelps at Portner's Arena in one
of the four all-star bouts headed
by Antol Kocis and Benny
Schwartz.
Yesterday Strickler and Billy
Edwards, his sparring partner,
went at it at Frank Mann's gym.
For four rounds they hammered
each other. Edwards cut loose
with both hands, but Strickler
kept boring in and giving as much
as he received. Phelps got back
in the winning column two weeks
ago by stopping Eric Lawson in
three sets at Portsmouth,

What's To Be Done?

But we wondered, if it be so,
the accusation by a gentleman
who should know whereof he
speaks to the effect that some
of Washington's workers do
not possess quite enough of
that old stamina to stick in
there under fire and turn back
the attack-Whether something
might be. done about it.
It seems almost impossible,
in view of the condition of
the player market, to go forth
and secure money pitchers" to
replace those who don't seem to
have quite enough stomach to
stem the onrushing tide and so
the next best thing is to try to
arouse more fire in thosS which
we do possess.
Washington seems to have
everything else to go through
to pennant and a world series,
and it is not the worst off
team in the league for pitch
ing. Yet, it is difficult to see
how the current material can
be made to stretch over the
weeks to come unless the above
mentioned diagnosis is correct
and the remedy found.
And so we have the temerity
to pass on to one and all the
comment we observed from one
pretty well grounded in the
game, for what good may come
Of it. A stiffening, it would
seem, of what talent we have,
is essential unless REINFORCE
ments can be brought up-and
where can you buy finished
pitchers or trade for them
without weakening the present
structure?

GREFFS, AS,
YANKS WILL
FIGHT
BY GARRETT WATERS


This years pennant scramble
can be said to be slowly but surely
taking form. If it already has
not happened, the battle for first
place honors will, before long, be-
come a dyed-in-the-wool affair
between the New York Yankees,
"Our Griffmen," and Connie
Mack's still powerful Philadelphia
AS.
The situation is the inevitable.
it seems. This, because these
teams, for the past three years,
have demonstrated their prowess
other the others during the early
days of the race which are as i'm
portant as the later days when
everything is summed up.
Yanks Showing Way
Right now, the Yankees are
showing the way because Of the
sensational way they are play
irg. They are in first place
because they're getting excel
lent pitching from Lefty
Gomez, Johnny Allen, George Pip
grass, Charlie Ruffing, Henry
Johnson, Herb Pennock, and be-
cause such veterans as Earl
Combs and Tony LazZeri are hold
ing up the hitting, and while the
supposed greater batters, namely,
Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Ben
Chapman, are in Slumps.
The Griffs are in second place
due to their sensational begin
ming this year, which only re-
Gently has taken a turn for the
worse. The AS are in the vicinity
of third place because of squirt
during the past two weeks which
has seen Jimmy Foxx rise to
heights unknown and which has
also seen Lefty Grove and George
Earnshaw pitching their heads off
for the prince of managers, Connie
Mack.
The Future?
What the future holds in
store is only something that must
be shown. Whether it'll continue
to keep the Yanks, Griffs and AS
"up there" as the first three is
something that only time will
tell. But from the present indi-
cations, these clubs will be the
three who'll be occupying those
posts later because of the SEEM
ing let down by the several West.
ern clubs who opened the season
SO bravely as temporary con-
tenders.
In due respect to the Western
clubs, there might bob up among
them a team or teams in the
midst of a sudden squirt. This
might throw several upsets into
the order of things, but on the
whole indications point that the
"big three" will not be hurt too
much or dethroned from their
now enviable positions.
The Western trips to be taken
by the Eastern clubs soon might
change the respective first divis-
ion positions of the big Three
however. Losses for the Yanks,
for instance, might gain the Griff-
men the lead, or odd results may
have the tendency to forge the
charging AS to the top again.
Griffs Hold Hopes
So it goes. The Griffs, for one,
are hoping that the West will
prove the turning point towards
their aims of gaining back first
place. They are counting upon
New York and Philadelphia losses
in every way, aiming, of course,
to win themselves in the mean
time in the ultimate hope Of
grabbing a championship this
year-wanted so terribly much.
