"A ND WILLIAMS is not the only
~ expert from whom the men,
bers of the squad will receive
help. Hans Nusslein, the German
professional, and Vincent Richards.
the American pro, have been playing
with the United States players
Richards played doubles with Will
liams when the United States team
triumphed in 1925 and 1926. Many
feel this country never had a better
pair.
Nusslein has been engaged to give
Williams players taste of that con-
tinental steadiness over which we
have tripped. From NuSslein they
will learn many things, for he has
been able to handle the blasts of
Shields and Stoefen with the greatest
of ease.
William T. Tilden watched the
players practice last week and, while
he was not optimistic about the fu-
ture, he was enthusiastic in discussing
the ability of Williams and Nusslein.
mo better choice could have been
made" Big Bill said.
While Williams did not come out
fatty and say it. it is easy to infer
he feels that this is the first time a
Davis Cup team will receive instruc-
ton from men who themselves have
been through the mill
Williams was member of seven
Davis Cup teams, starting in 1913,
when he played doubles. He also was
a member of the 1914 team. Although
he won the United States national
singles championship in 1914 and
1916, he did not resume Davis Cup
play until 1920. After that he was
member of the 1921. 1928, 1925 and
1926 teams. Richards was a member
OF the 1925 and 1926 squads
If expert assistance means any
thing, the United States team enjoys
the opportunities denied former
squads.
If the United States team beats
Canada this week it will meet Mexico
the following week at the Baltimore
club
Should the Americans win that
match. they will cross the Atlantic
early in June to meet the winner of
the European zone The winner of
those matches plays England in the
challenge round.

TITLES LEFT OVER
FROM g TOURNEY
Nearly so Amateurs Scrap
Tonight in First Event
Under New Code.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

TOUR 2-year-old District A.
r. A. U. boxing crowns today
were balanced precarious-
ly on the browS of de-
termined defenders as nearly
half a hundred young ring
hopefuls awaited the gong to-
night at Catholic University,
which will send them in quest
of eight Golden Gloves cham
pionShipS.
The big punch fiesta, operating
under the first license, amateur or
professional, to be granted by Wash
lngton's new Boxing Commission, will
begin at O'Clock. Preliminaries and,
If necessary, semi -windups, will be
staged tonight. Finals will be held
Wednesday.
Six of 1925 eight District champs
are slated to seek further laurels to-
night, but only four were to defend
titles annexed when the last A. A. U.
tourney was staged two years ago.
Lack of funds and a suitable site
prohibited the tournament last year,
but tonight's legal punchfest is ex-
pected to gross many hundreds Of
dollars in the two-day stand.
Mirman's Chances Liked.
CUS MIRMAN, 175-pound cham
II pion, is the only one of the de-
Tending quartet conceded a
chance of retaining
! his laurels. Mike Tardugno, I26
pounds; Leon Shub, 1876, and Al Far
rell, heavyweight, are to face the best
fields of contenders in local amateur
ring history.
Willie Feary, 112-pound champion
two years ago will fight in the 1885,
pound class, and Lou Gevinson, 118-
pound winner, will seek 126-pound
laurels. Jack Baxter, 145-pound
Champ, and Steve Mutt. 160-pound
title holder, are not entered
Mirman, hard puncher and pos
sessed of plenty of experience, has
only one challenger, j. F. Prior of
the Y M c. A.
Chief among the rivals Of Shub,
lightweight champion, will be Feary,
who has grown rapidly during the
last two years both in size and in
fistic ability. Many concede the
younger Feary an edge over Shub.
Lou GevinSon, who advanced to the
semi finals of the national amateur
last year, was rated an even choice
with Defending Champion Mike Tar
dugno in the 126-pound division.
Farrell, the other champion ex-
pected to defend. has two potent
rivals in Dale Prather of George
Washington and Sam Bernstein,
protege of Professional District Heavy,
weight Champion Matte Brown.
Twenty Scraps Likely.
"A GOOD portion of official Wash
n ington, including Postmaster
General James A. Farley. is
expected to witness the two-day glove
show. Most of the dignitaries will be
in attendance on Wednesday.
Although pairings will not be made
until this afternoon, when the con-
testants will weigh in between 3 and
$50 o'clock at Catholic University, it
! is expected that in the neighborhood
of 20 bouts will be staged. Each will
be scheduled to last three two-minute
rounds. On Wednesday, when the
finals will be held, the bouts will con-
sist of five two-minute rounds.
Referees and judges will be selected
by the boxing commission shortly be-
fore ring time. 1t is probable the
referees will be selected from among

Eliminates Weaknesses.

THE first four players form the
team that will play Canada in
the first American zone match
May "a, rs and 26, at the Wilmington
Country Club, Wilmington, Del. Wood
needs more work and Allison is re-
covering from sprained ankle.
We will have better team" Will
liamS explained, because we are
eliminating weaknesses that furnished
holes for opponents in former years.
These weaknesses are not technically
wrong. 1t has mostly to do with
tactics, a department of the game in
which our men have been deplorably
weak. We are merely showing them
how to do things in another way
a way that won't leave openings.
The trouble with our players in the
last six or seven years in interna-
tional competition is that they have
not been able to play with a con-
slStency that begetS victory. Most of
the men sent abroad were able to
play phenomenal tennis in streaks, but
invariably lacked that constancy which
is characteristic of the British and
continental style of play. The flaw
less game of our opponents dripped
through our porous tactics to VIC
tory.
Knowing that the mistakes of our
players can be corrected, naturally, I
feel, if they play their best tennis
at the right time, We will be able
to offer the kind of competition that
could bring the cup back to this coun-
try.
What has pleased me quite as
much as the way the candidates are
playing is the enthusiasm they are
displaying. All of them are eager
to practice. In fact, 1 have had to
chase them off the courts. I know
they are enjoying the instructions they
are getting. They are keen to learn
new things and don't let their high
rankings interfere with their asking
questions.
while Wood is not member of
the team that will face Canada this
week, I feel he Is real player, and
I hold high hopes for him. Van
Ryn's doubles play has been most en-
couraging.
The Selection Committee chose
these players, not because of their
national rankings, but because they
believed these men can rise to greater
heights than others.
We have nothing to do with the
committee that makes the ratings.
Often we disagree with them. If
men with high rankings have not
been selected by the Davis Cup Com
mittee, it is because that body does
not consider them capable of reach
ing a game good enough to defeat
men like Perry of England and CraW-
ford of Australia"

on his less enterprising neighborS in
newspaper row by detailing me to ferret
out the facts-and you may be sure
that I lost not a moment in tumbling
down the rickety stairs of the old Ex-.
terminator Building, leaping into the
saddle of my bicycle and pedaling away.
At Battery Park I flung aside the
bicycle and chartered a tugboat to take
me up the East River to Spuyten Duyvil,
where I transferred to a trolley car,
arriving at Dyckman street just in time
to jump aboard ferry boat which was
pulling out. Once across the Hudson
River (named for Henry Hudson, the
inventor of the Steamboat) I hailed
passing ox-cart and persuaded the
driver to take me down the Jersey coast
to Fort Lee, an Indian trading post.
There I caught another ferry boat to
125th street, and while we were yet in
midstream was able to distinguish the
corrugated dome of Grants Tomb
cleaning reassuringly in the sunlight.
1t was still there. And almost before
the ferry docked I had leaped ashore
and was dashing for a telephone booth
to give old Grinch my story.
Grants Tomb still stands!' gasped
into the transmitter. "Immutable and
enduring, like monumental wen on
the stern face of Mother Manhattan"
"Okay!" Grinch interrupted bruskly.
Get pictures!"
But" began, Il haven't
camera"
1t was too late. Grinch had hung up.
Ever resourceful, I ran to the nearest
stationery store, rummaged through the
stock of post cards. and presently found
a splendid picture of Grants Tomb, all
pink and green and imported from
Munich. This I promptly addressed
and mailed to old Grinch. also sent
him Poe's cottage, the Hall of Fame and
Carl Schurz for good measure. Then,
tired but happy in the consciousness Of
a duty well done, went home and slept

But now old Grinch has gone, and we

and never kick people downstairs.

left who remember him in his prime.
To the present generation of newspaper
men his name means nothing.
Yet there was a time, not so many
years ago, when this same name was a
byword throughout the entire Fourth
Estate. Inkstained wretches trembled at
the sound of it. The prefix "Grinch
SayS"-before any order-was a guaran-
tee that it would be carried out quickly
and unquestioningly. His commands
were never uttered twice; if you didn't
hear him the first time, you just weren't
there the second time.
Grinch was one of these old-fashioned
city editors-the kind that o. Henry and
Richard Harding Davis wrote about He
had Steely blue eyes, an underShot jaw.
and mop of unruly gray hair which
he habitually tore out in handfulS along
about press time. On his forehead there
white when he was angry-which was
80 per cent of the time. Some said it
was the mark of an Indian tomahawk
received when he was covering the
Custer massacre for LeSlies Weekly.
Some said it was the mark of a hotel
doorknob received when he was uncov-
ering the Swillington divorce case for
Harper's Young People. Some said it
was where he had bitten himself. No
one ever had the nerve to ask him.
GRIECH was city editor of the old
Evening Exterminator when broke
in as a cub reporter. Never shall I
forget the first time I walked into the
editorial tantrum and met Grinch face
to face. He was pacing to and fro be-
hind his desk like Gagged lion, and as
I opened the door he wheeled about,
leveled a nicotine stained forefinger at
me, and barked: "I want the inside
story of the Tomb robbery-for the
bulldog edition! Get out and get it,
you blankety- blank so-and-so!"
1t was my first big assignment. For
several days there had been vague
rumorS that Grants Tomb had been
stolen, but no one could verify them. It
remained for Grinch to steal a march
