Primarily it should be said that
as a money making project every
thing depends upon where the
match for the famous tennis
trophy is held.
For example, in its current quest for
the cup the United States Lawn Tennis
Association will feel very web satisfied
if it breaks even-and it is nc. lke,y
to do this
The 1882 campaign for the DAVIS Cup
yielded $4,000 in round numbers To III.

sentsd a $3.50 cut with the French
Tennis Federation after all costs had
been deducted. Inasmuch as France
played at home, her expenses were
much less than thc American outlay,
and at the same time, playing in Eu-
rope in preliminary zone matches, the
French team picked up a .ot of addl-

Helen Makes Difference.

T Asst year the mems singles tour
ney had a gross gate of some
$4,000, of which the U. S. L. T.
=. received a cut of S30,500. Five
thousand dollars was realized from the
national doubles at Longwood and the
womens national lost money. There
were dribblings from the indoor and
other national Journeys. Probably
$4,000 in all represented the net TAX
ings Of the U. S. L. T. A last year.
On the other hand. when the Davis
Cup is held in this country. the chal-
lerge round being played here, the re-
Ceipts may approach 100000. They
went over this figure in the big years OF
1926 and 1927.
A great deal depends upon the prom
isc of competition. When Mrs. Moody
ard Betty Nuthall worked up to the
finals in the women's national two or
three years ago, the receipts of the
vomers tourney were S25.000 net. Mrs.
Moody did not play last year; hence a
loss at the gate.
England Australia a Sell-Out.
4 WEEK from today England and

the United States plays the winner the

apt to be sparse French enthusiasts
will recognize that week later their
own team will meet the winner in the
final round-so why pay to see two for
eign teams in semi-fnal?
Australia should make money this
year because of the excellence of her
team. She needs it. For two years ago
when the Antipodeans were uneX-
pectedly put to rout in the first round
by Italy. the Australian Tennis Asso-

The mems title was lost through
the sensational victory that Jack
Crawford of Australia achieved
over Ellsworth Vines, American
champion, yesterday, 4-6, 11-9,
g.. 2-6, Ga, and so it was
strictly up to Mrs. Moody to up
hold American prestige in the
women's finals.
Bidding for her sixth Wimbledon
crown since 1927, Mrs. Moody was
matched against Dorothy Round, No. 2
ranking British player. in the final
round. She was an overwhelming IA
vorite to win.
Three other finals also were on the

tie Jiro Satoh and R. Nunio of Japan
for the mems doubles title, while the
mixed doubles finals sent the German
Hilda Krahwinkel against Nat Far
quharson of South Africa and Mary
Heeley of England.
1t was a great tennis battle that
Vines lost to Crawford yesterday, last
ing two hours and a half under a
burning sun, only to end with dra-
matte suddenness on love game by
break through by Crawford Of the
fastest service of them all.
Vines Pays Tribute.
MO Wimbledon final in many years

lance, in so tense an atmos-
phere, with such grim determination
and on such high level Of consistency
on both. sides of the net. The win

said after the match. He just beat me
on his merits and he's a great cham

The Triple Duel.

T the end of the Wimbledon
~ show, which has been the
"A biggest of all Wimbledon
hits, England, Australia and
the United States have the closest
triple duel of many years to face.
The survivor from this group
moves against France for the
Davis Cup a short while later on,
and here again it will be as even
as you can have it, no matter
which challenger comes through.
England and Australia are the first
to meet. and here Ellsworth Vines picks
England to win in spite OF the brilliant
Crawford, who defeated the American
champion, plus a doubles team good
enough to beat Vines and Gledhill.
The England Australia clash
will be one of the high spots OF
the tennis year. The United States
team will have no rOmp against
either of these combinations.
1t is doubtful if the long history Of
the Davis Cup has brought four teams
to the stretch as closely matched as
the four now left, including the holder,
France.

TAMMANY FACES
LOSS OF LEADERSHIP
Boom for Mckee Keeps Pace
With Crisis in WigWam
of Curry.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. September 22.-The
leadership OF Tammany Hall, tradi-
tional in New York City Democratic
politics for three quarters Of a CEN
tury, faced the threat of complete
disruption today an an outgrowth Of its
adamant stand on the candidacy of
Mayor John P. O'Brien.
Under the impetus of openly evi-
denced dissatisfaction among inde-
pendent Democrats and the growing
strength of anti-Tammany fusion
groups, the boom for Joseph v. Mckee
kept pace with the fast-budding crisis
in the wigwam of John F. Curry, Tam
many chief.
In the eyes of New York politicians,
the cruX of the present situation lies
in Washington and with 1t the fate of
Tammany Hall.
Since Wednesday Edward j. Flynn,
New York secretary of State and Bronx
Democratic leader, has been in Wash
ington, where he has been conferring
with Postmaster General James A. Far
ley. Both visited the White House
yesterday.
Tammany Would Lose Power
Should national Democratic leaders
confer their benediction upon Mckee,
according to a general belief existing
in New York, Tammany would be re-
duced to the status of the party's or
dinary county organization within the
State organization.
In this Tammany would no longer
be the clearing house for appointments
or recommendations in the heavily
1ot toI
and would function strictly along Or
ganization lines without recognition of
Tammany leaders.
IhlS was the picture painted today
along the sidewalks of New York. but
with an entirely different interpreta-
ton of the situation emanating from
Tammany WigWamS.
RumorS of O'Brien's withdrawal were
termed malicious" and the brain child
OF nt1-Tammany propagandists' by
Raymond j. O'Sullivan, Tammany sec
retary. John H. McCooey, Brooklyn
leader and Tammany ally, fatty denied
rebellion against O'Brien among his
leaders
Mckee Supporters Alert.
Closely watching the outcome of the
washington conferences were support
ers OF Mckee, who, as acting mayor
following the resignation of James j.
Walker, attracted a widespread follow
ing that gave him "write-in" vote of
100000 against OBrien, despite the fact
he was not candidate in the election
last year
Mckee early this year stated fatty
he was finished with politics and ac-
cepted the presidency of the Title
Guarantee & Trust Co.. abandoning the
political for the business field.
His supporters now. it is reliably re-
ported, will not urge his candidacy
against OBrien unless support is forth
coming from the national and State ad-
ministration. This attitude they pred
icate on the belief there is little or no
possibility of O'Brien's withdrawal.
Meanwhile. Frank j. Prial, who won
the Democratic nomination for con-
troller in Tuesdays primary and there
by defeated Tammany for the first time
since operation of the direct primary
in the city, intimated he would not
stump for o Brien.
I'm not going to keep away from
them tTammany). he said but am
not going to sacrifice any of my inde-

Contract Bridge

West should stop to reason why
South has let him in to make those
two tricks.
OF course, the answer is that
South, the declarer, wishes to get a
squeeze on the East player and has
no squeeze card of his own; so he
deliberately throws West in the
lead, in an endeavor to get him to
squeeze his own partner.
The bidding is normal and Vests
natural lead is the eight Of spades.
A small spade is played from the
dummy and East wins the trick with
the king
He returns the deuce of spades,
West wins with the ace and returns
the zen of spades. A club is dis
carded from dummy, East discards
a club, and South wins the trick
with the jack.
South cashes the ace of hearts
and then leads the eight of hearts
Vests queen dropping. Dummy
wins the trick with the king. A
small diamond is led, East playing
the ten, and declarer finessing the
queen which holds the trick.
TINE drop of the queen of hearts
Il by West marks East with four
hearts. The fact that he went up
on the diamond marks him with
probably the king and jack Of dia-
monds.
1t looks as though it Is irnpos-
sible to make the contract. But
South, the declarer, decides to try to
squeeze East, so he leads the seven
of spades, which West wins with
the nine, small club being dis
carded from dummy. East has to
drop the eight of diamonds
If West makes the mistake of
cashing his six of spades, which
CT course, is a good card, small
diamond will be discarded from
dummy and East will be squeezed.
If he lets go heart, both hearts
in dummy will be good, while if he
lets go a diamond or club, those
cards will be good in the declarers
hand.
Whichever cards East releases, the
declarer will squeeze him in that
suit, and the contract of three no
trump will be made. This play is
known as the suicide squeeze.
