SPRING LAKE, N. j., July IL.
The United States is a cinch to
win the Davis Cup this month,
if-and it's a big if-France does
not play Jean Borotra against the
American team at Auteuil.
This was the opinion Of Sam
Hardy, veteran Davis Cup player,
here today, as he watched play
continue in the annual invitation
tennis tournament Of the Spring
Lake Bathing and Tennis Club.
"BorOtra is the key man in
the Davis Cup situation this
year." said Hardy, playing cap
tain Of the American team
which won the international
net trophy from Australia in
1880, and nOn-playing captain
of the 1881 squad.
without BOrOtra, we should
beat France by 4 to / or 5 to o."
explained Hardy. Australia
should beat England in the
European zone final this week
end, but the AusSieS are strictly
a One-man team, and Jack
Crawford can't take the United
States single.handed in the
inter-zone SERIES"
Interest in the play at Spring
Lake tournament today centered
around the late start Of frankie
Paker, recently crowned national
clay court singles champion. The
Milwaukee player pulled in on a
late morning train and was sched-
uled to open in the second round
against Frank Nolde, Of Manta-
looking Yacht Club. He received
a bye in the first round.
Frank Shields had an easy op-
ponent, too, in A. E. Baker. Gil

Cauliff had John Thomas Bay

Griffs once before this season,

Griffs needed hits but couldn't t

Manager Cronin and his gang
did manage to get to Miller for
three runs, however, before the
fray ended. In the third Sewell

First off, Monte accomplished
something he's never been able
to accomplish before in his short
career as a big Lacquer. He went
to the box as a rescue man and
finished in fine style, and never
once was on the verge of being
taken out, as has marked his
efforts Of the past whenever
thrown into the breach as a re-
lief hurler.
Now all this doesn't mean that
Weaver's performance was his
best in the world. Quite on the
contrary. But it was good, as it
demonstrated to Manager Cronin
that at last the pitcher is ready
to take a regular turn and give
q commendable account Of him.

assignments in 1892 when he was
the rookie sensation Of the league.
Just when Weaver will be given
his first official starting assign

Cronin stated after yesterdays

Monte one or two relief mods in
the near future before starting
him again.

yesterday because Of no i'll effects

May Be Let Down

Perhaps it IS just a result Of
a slight let-down or reaction
following the long winning
streak. That Saturday double
header was a long, tedious, hot
ordeal; but yesterday was COM
paratively cool, and with a
fourth-place club in our midst
we muffed an excellent oppor-
tunity to hold what had been
a satisfactory lead-now cut to
two games.
Or maybe it was just that
fellow Miller in there who has
been Public Enemy No. / for
washington on every visit of
the ChiSox to Washington this
year. Miller isn't worth his
salt anywhere except against
the Griffs.
You know we used to have a
fellow like him on this club
back in the pre-war days+Tom
Hughes. What Tom Hughes
could do to the Cleveland In
dians was a caution, but he
was duck soup for a lot Of the
others.
Yea, there was somebody just
a little bit daffy around that
ball yard yesterday-daffy as
they come!
And it wasn't Nick Altrock!

TYPE Of PLAY.
DIFFERENT
AWAY"
BY GARRETT WATERS

The inconsistencies of baseball
has been topic of more con-
versations than one since the
opening day of this eventful cam.
paign. 1t probably will be dis
cuSSed several times over before
the schedule is finally a thing Of
the past because so many TENS
have occurred this year to make
the average dopester sit up and
wonder.
Take the Griffmen, fer in
stance. There's not a club in
the league, with the possible ex-
ception of the New York YAM
KEGS, which has had the un-
usual happen to it quite as often
as have the Griffmen.
We refer, in this case, to the
apparent failure of Manager
Cronin's gang to win consistently
while playing on home soil. It's
really uncanny when every angle
is considered because Of the man.
ner in which the daily results
have gone when, on the other
hand, such complete success has
been enjoyed when contests have
been waged on foreign fields.
The Griffs have played five
games at Griffith Stadium since
returning from their victo. ious
trip out West and East where
over two-thirds of their games
were won.
Lost One to Tribe
Against the Cleveland Indians,
who were first to appear here in
this current invasion of the
western foes, Manager Cronin
and his gang took three contests
out of the four played. The
Chicago White Sox made their
appearance here yesterday for
their first meeting of a four-game
set, and the Griffs, quite like the
day before, were Squelched be-
cause a bit of extraordinary
pitching was served them high,
wide and handsome from the first
inning to the last.
Instead of losing these trays,
the Griffs should have won both
of them to keep up the consistent
pace that was theirs when they
were winning right and left on
the road. But the games were
lost and the inconsistencies of
baseball brought to the surface
even more than before. Maybe
one of these days there'll be an
exception to the rule and the
Griffs, as distinct example, will
wade right through every oppo-
nent from the start of a cam
paign to the very end. It's not an
In direct contrast to all this,
Manager Cronin and his gang
are not letting themselves worry
over the losses they've taken dur
ing the past two days which has
seen their lead drop from four
game advantage to two.
Same Old Spirit
Instead, the team to a man
has the same old spirit and firm
ly believes that Everything" will
come out all right yet and that
the games lost in the standings
will be made up before this cur
rent home stand is ended.
"It'S a shame we let those
two games slip through our
fingers" Manager CrOnin voiced
today. "But it's an item that
happens during each baseball
season, and the thing for us to
do is to 60 out and try to make
up the lost ground the next day.
And the way to do that is by
winning, which is our aim"
And so the apparent aim Of
the Griffs now is to wipe up
the pesky Chicago White Sox in
the remaining three contests of
the series. It shouldn't be ter
ribly difficult if that inconsistent
enigma doesn't crop up again as
Thomas and Stewart
should outhurl anybody Manager
Lou Fonseca, of the Sox, selects
to do the pitching in opposition
to the Griff trio.
However, We'll see, We'll see.

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-William
Travers Jerome, who was elected
District Attorney Of New York

independent, has returned on the
French liner lie de France after
spending a two-month vacation in

"When President Roosevelt

"These NRA codes and all

PRAISES GLASS
"I think the greatest thrill Of
my life, so far as observing ma

the speech of Carter Glass, with
his emphasis on the ethical side
rather than the political side,
when he pleaded for the United
States to hold to her duty to

she has contracted"
Mr.. Jerome said he thought
France was "too poor" to pay hel

there was great deal Of alarm
