Apparently having rounded into
the stride that has gained him
worldwide recognition Ellsworth
Vines, national amateur tennis
champion, tomorrow will be the
big attraction when the United
States opens it's Davis Cup Tie
defense against Canada on the
courts of the Chevy Chase Club.
HoStilities begin at 2:30.
In drawings made by President
Herbert Hoover yesterday in the
presence of representatives of
10th nations, Wilmer Allison was
paired against Marcel Rainville
in tomorrow's opening singles
event, while Vines was to follow
up against DR.. Jack Wright in the
grand finale.
Doubles play and an exhibition
are due Friday, the final singles
features being scheduled on the
following day.
Wright Smooth Player
The Vines-Wright go tomorrow
may prove the finest attraction
Of the lot. Vines, young and SEN
Sational, should be pressed to the
utmost by Wright, a smooth, ex-
perienced chap with unlimited
ability.
Washingtonians appear particu-
larly interested in the raw-boned
kid who is being picked by many
as worthy successor to Bill Til
den. His recent success in the
MaSon-Dixon tournament along
with splendid form shown in his
6-3 defeat of John Van Ryn in
a practice set yesterday, intimate
that the California kid has reached
his peak.
Little Surprise
The selection of Allison over
Shields in the singles occasioned
little surprise insofar as the
Texan has flashed to exceptional
advantage in recent tourney play,
twice taking over Vines before
finally being overhauled by that
phenomenal lad in the finals of
the MaSon-DiXon event.
Marcel Rainville was forced to

trick yesterday by besting Wal

AMONG
BEST MATMEN

Local fans will see one of the
foremost wrestlers when Dick
Shikat grapples the Polish mon
ster, Leo Pinetzki, at the Wash
ington Auditorium tomorrow
night. Pinetzki has been substi-
tuted for Sammy Stein, who has
entered a hospital to have a
nose trouble remedied.
Shikat's reputation is well
known to local followers of the
wrestling game and there are
many who claim he's greater
than Jimmy Londos. In support
of their claim, they ask why Lon
dos hasn't clashed with Shikat
since June Of 1880.
The mighty German, who
sticks mainly to the business at
hand, relies upon his skill and
strength and doesn't try to sub
due his opponent by trickery. He
plays fair, but can grow as fierce
as a lion when the enemy turns
rough.
Pinetzki is the freak Of wrest-
ling. Every fan here knows his
immensity and, though beaten be-
fore by Shikat, he'll be a man.

It happened in this manner.
The Griffs were behind, S to 8,
when the first half of the eighth
inning came around. Sammy
West, first up, singled sharply to
center off of Pitcher Herb Pen
mock. Joe Cronin, the next bats
man, walked. Lazzeri'S tumble
on Reynolds grounder, filled the
bases and as result situation
presented itself that was a situa-
ton.
Joe Judge stepped up to the
pan waving wicked bat. Pen

Get Break
But the break, or breaks, enter
here, ladies and gentlemen. Babe
Ruth, a veteran, but still able
to get around very well, thank
YOU, started back with the ball
as soon as it left Judges bat.
Further and further toward the
bleacherS he ran and did he bob
up with the almost impossible?
Well, folks, he did just that, as
up went his body and ker-plunk
went the ball in his nit just as it
was about to sail over his head
into those waiting right-field
bleacherS.
The catch meant saving Of four
runs. True, West scurried home
from third, after this play, and
Cronin trotted home a few mo-
mentS later on Bleuge's clout to
left, but Ruth's timely catch saved
the day for the Yanks, and that's
no kidding.
Went Out and Won
Going into the last part of the
eighth, tied 5 to 5, the Yanks
went out and won by a series Of
hits and plays off of Pitcher Fred
Marberry. Larry, first up, walked,
and Ruth singled, Larry going to
third. Gehrig tapped towards
Marberry, and when the ball
bounced off his glove into Myers
hands, Myer throw out Columbia
Lou, Larry scored with what was
the margin of victory.
It was a tough contest for the
Griffs to lose. This, because they
tried so hard to win. Manager

effort, but failed because Of the
breaks of old Dame Fortune, and
what have you went against him.

FAILING
INABILITY
TOH|T
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, N. Y, April 81.
Although he is not setting the
world on fire at bat, Moe Berg,
the Griffs' first reserve catcher,
is doing a nice job these days
behind the plate as Roy Spencer's
substitute.
Berg, who first got his chance
to be a catcher when he was
with the Chicago White Sox sev-
eral years ago, possesses the
brains looked for in the better
than average catcher, and uses
them by also working with his
pitcher-something that is com.
for to the hurler trying to get
along.
Moe could be a complete sue
cess if he was able to bat better.
But he is not the type to be a
Slugger, so his case might just
as well become one to discuss
from his ability to field. work
with the pitchers as mentioned,
etc.
In this connection, an interest
ing thought comes up at this
time in regards to the catching
situation with the Griffs. Last
year, the team would have been
in an embarrassing position with
Roy Spencer on the sidelines as he
is now. All because in Cliff Bolton
and Pinkie Hargrave, Manager
johnson did not possess Substi-
tutes good enough to step in and
deliver capably.
Different This Year
But this year, it is different
with Berg hanging around. This,
because the former White Sox
and Cleveland Indian performer
can be depended upon to give a
good account of himself behind
the bat in Spencer's absence, even
though he will not hit his weight
with the fail.
Spencer, incidentally, will be
ready to take his regular place be-
hind the plate in the next couple
of days. The veteran was used
yesterday for a few innings, after
Manager johnson sent him in to
hi for Berg in the seventh.
However, he is not to get back
into action for the regular nine
inning period until his charley
horse is completely cured-some.
thing that can only be cured by
taking things easy. Yesterday
Roy played with his right leg
tightly strapped.
The Griffs were scheduled
against the YankS again today in
a game which will see them rush
home Immediately after to open
a three-game series with the Phila-
delphia AS at Griffith Stadium.

Lefty Lloyd Brown was to
