DEFEAT OF TANKS
 MAKES FRENCH
 SURE OF TROPHY
|Lacoste Confident Defend- CTS Can Beat British Dramatic Finish to U. S.-EngIish Play
By WALLACE CARROLL United Press Stan Correspondent

Paris, July 24-(UP)-Amer- ica's defeat by England in the fn- terzone final revived French hopes to-day of retaining the Davis cup, emblematic of world tennis su- premacy, for the sixth successive year, thereby tying the record set by United States teams from 1921 to 1927.
 Rene Lac oste, non-playing French captain, explained to the United Press that his squad IS confident of winning the doubles against Englapd when Jean Boro- tra and Jacques Brugnon meet the British combination. Perry ana George Patrick Hughes, and that Henri .Cochet, the French ace will beat both Perry. and Austin in the singles.
 After wilmer Allison and Ells- worth Vines bowed to Perry and Austin, respectively. in the opening singles Friday, the 10000 specta- tors who braved the broiling sun at the stadium yesterday, expected an easy British victory. Although their expectations were realized, the concluding matches furnished the most dramatic moments of the series.
 H. w. (Bunny) Austin, a youth ful figure in shorts. downed Ali son of Texas, 6-2, 7-9, 6-3, 6-4, and Frederick Perry, Brit aims No.1 player. defeated Vines. the American champion, 1-6, 60. 4-6, 7-5. 7-6. and de- fault.
 CrumbIcd on Court
 Vines default proved one of the most sensational incidents in Davis cup play. In the 18th game of his gruelling match, Perry was at match point, leading in the fifth set, 7-6 and 40-15, after they had split their four previous sets. Vines swung his racquet to serve. but the stroke was never finished. His head sank forward on his moist white shirt: his knees buckled; he quivered and fell fiat on his back into the red dust of the sum- scorched court.
 The crowd, which had been cheer ing his gameness in continuing to play despite intense pain from an ankle turned in their fourth set, rose aghast. Perry dropped his racquet, sprinted and hurdled the net. He bent over the prostrate Californian, tore open the front of Vines shirt and started giving him artificial respiration like a veteran life saver. Captain Prem tice and other officials surrounded the pair. Vines was unconscious for five minutes.
 In the dresisng room, physicians said he had suffered a fainting spell resulting from the pain in his ankle and the terrific heat. They said 1t was nothing serious The crowd refused to leave the stadium until assured that Vines was in no danger.
