NEW YORK, April 1S.-United
States hopes of bringing the Davis
cup back to the land of its donor
were at low ebb today due to the
loss of form of Ellsworth Vines of
Pasadena, Cal, Americas great ten
mis- hope.
Vines recent play has been sew
eral notches below that which
gained him the 1881 United States
championship. His technique seems
to have fallen apart, even his bis
tering service, which was largely
responsible for his meteoric success
last year, slipping out of control.
His court covering ability and his
powerful and exact forehand drive,
which, added to that devastating
service, caused Vines to be hailed
AS a second Bill Tilden, are, for the
time being at least, lost parts of his
repertoire.
The youthful Californian's play
was anything but good during the

winter on the coast. 1t seemed to
pick up bit in tournaments
through the southern belt and then
slump set in. He was beaten by
Wilmer Allison, veteran Texas Davis
Cup campaigner, in New Orleans a
week ago. Allison defeated him
again Saturday, this time in the
finals of the North and South cham
ptonShip at Pinehurst, N. c.
These results can not be laid to
a sudden improvement of form on
the part of Allison-the Texan
merely played his game.
There may be a third net duel
between Vines and Allison in the
twelfth annual Mason and Dixon
tourney opening at White Sulphur
Springs, w. Va, today
This will be the last tournament
play for the Davis Cup squad -
Vines, Allison, Frank Shields and
John Van Ryn-before the United
States team goes to Chevy Chase
Club, Washington, to engage in
final practices for the battle with
Canada.

ing him hard all the way and at

The performance was not so much
from time standpoint, but it made
a decided impression on the large
number of horsemen and checkers
who witnessed it, because of the
easy manner in which it was &C
complished over a track which was
anything but fast
With Jockey Mooney holding him

What proved to be the winning
run on the Sabbath was placed on
base in the fifth after one down
when Jonah Goldman was struck
by pitched ball. Pid Purdy came
up and walloped a double to right,
scoring the Tribe shortstopper. The
other two Tribe markers were
chalked up in the second round on
Angley's double, Rosenberg's single
and Vineyards hot smash for two
cushions down the right field foul
line.
Fast Fielding Helps
Cooney dazzled the Apostles for
five innings, but in the sixth they
grew desperate and slapped him for
three consecutive hits after one out.
However, swift fielding prevented
the runners from taking an extra
base and it took an infield out to
get one run over. The other st.
Paul tally was inserted in the books
on the seventh on singles by Fen
ner, McEvoy and Norman. The last
named collected three hits during

The Saints are getting away to

was the sixth in a row for the 1881

six setbacks have been by one-run
margins, three at Louisville and
two here.
