SHIELDS BEATEN;
BRITAIN WINS CUP
Carries Perry to 1918 in
Most Exciting Set
Since 1914.
Nv the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
WIMBLEDON, England, July 31-
Great Britain today retained the Davis
Cup, historic international tennis
trophy, as Fred Perry, ace OF the
British forces, defeated Frank x.
Shields, Ga, 4-6, 6-2, i5--13, IN
a desperately fought fourth match, to
clinch the series with three victories.
One more match remains to be
played between Sidney B. Wood, Jr.,
and Henry Wilfred Dummy Austin
but the outcome can have no bearing
on the five-match series.
Perry won in one of the longest
and most bitterly fought sets of cup
play, the long fourth, to register Great
Britain's seventh victory in more than
a quarter century Of Davis Cup COM
petition.
They won the cup from France last
year, halting a tri-color reign that
had extended since 1927, when the
United States lost the cup to France.
1t was the fifth time the United
States had been in the challenge
round since the cup was lost.
Both Near Exhaustion.
Both players were near exhaustion
at the end as they alternated in
breaking each others service and then
holding their own. Perry had started
serving first. When he won his
service at love in the twenty-seventh
game it gave him advantage and he
broke through Shields in a long
deuced game for game, set, 15-l3,
match and cup.
1t was the second longest set ever
played in the challenge round. The
longest was the Ills first set

man Brookes of Australia, in the
challenge round of 1914, between the

hams, the present cup captain, won a
doubles encounter from James o. An
derson and John B. Hawkes. of Aus
tralia, in 1928, by the same score.
Perry had match point no less
than three times in the last game
before Shields, rushing wildly to the
net behind his service, smashed the
ball wildly out of the court and then
fell heavily on his face.
Perry, throwing his racquet 20 feet
In the air, leaped the net to help
Shields to his feet, apparently un-
hurt. as the crowd stood and roared
it's acclaim of the most exciting set
of tennis any of them probably ever
had witnessed.

OKADA RENOUNCES
PARITY DEMANDS
Abrogation of Washington
Treaty of 1922 Is Not
Yet Decided.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TOXIC, July 31-Japan does not
expect America and Great Britain to
reduce their naval armamentS to
Japan'S level, Premier Keisuke Okada
told foreign correspondents today.
Japan Is undecided, he added,
whether to abrogate the Washington
treaty Of 1922, BY which the United
States, Britain and Japan established
a 5-5-3 ratio for capital ships.
At his first meeting with represen-
tatives of the worlds press, the new
premier expressed confidence the 1885
Naval Conference would succeed.
Tax Reduction Sought.
"In order to reduce the burden of
taxation borne by peoples Of the world"
he said, naval ornaments must be
reduced to the smallest proportions
possible. Such naval limitations must
the heaviest-armed nations"
Premier Okada was asked whether
this means Japan would demand
parity with America and Great Brit
ain, requiring them to reduce to
Tokio's level.
1T is not in my mind to expect
such radical changes as that so sud-
denly" he replied.
But cannot favor the present
ratio principle In naval limitation,
which hurts the self-respect of cer-
tain nations" the premier admiral
continued.
Abrogation Not Decided.
ct hope some better method can be
discovered, but at the present I am
not in a position to make definite
suggestions on the subject. Whether
Japan should abrogate the Washing
ton treaty is still under considera-
ton, but has not yet been settled"
Asked whether he expected
United States-Japanese naval race
to result If the 1885 conference fails,
Okada answered:
I'm the first place I refuse to be-
lieve the conference will fail. fully
believe it will be successful. Per-
sonally, sincerely want it to Sue
ceed."
"I am unable" he said, "to see
any reason why President RooSevelt's
Journey to Hawaii should be asso-
ciated with naval questions (as was
done by the Japanese press)."
He said Japan is determined to re-
tain islands in the equatorial Pacific
held under a mandate of the League
of Nations, although her secession
from the League is effective next
March.
Determined to Keep Islands.
There is no reason for Japan to
relinuuish the islands" Premier
Okada asserted. I'VE are determined
to retain them chiefly for commercial
reasons. We have money invested
and are carrying on business there"
Asked If he had definite plans to
promote friendship between America
and Japan, the premier said.
"I believe America and Japan are
bound TO live in the most intimate
friendship. There are no difficult
questions between the two countries. :"
Premier Okada was clad in civilian
clothes and wore cutaway coat, in
contrast to his 40 years Of service in
the navy. He replied to questions di-
rectly and rapidly.
The basic principle of our policy
is to promote Japan's friendly rela-
tions with other powers in the inter-
est of world peace" he said.
Atmosphere Is Uncertain.
THE world is Seething with poll
tical, economic and social unrest, pro-
