LOTT WANTS NEW
DEAL IN DOUBLES
Urges Van Ryn or Allison as
Cup Play Partner to
Replace Stofen.

By the Associated Press.
r ONDON, June 23.-Con-
vinced that he and Lester
Stoefen are not good
- enough doubles team to
win, George M. Lott, jr., has
asked Richard Norris Dick
Williams, captain of the United
States Davis Cup team to bring
over either Wilmer Allison or
or John van Ryn to pair with
him in cup play.
Lott took his action after he and
Stoefen had been soundly beaten in
the semi-final round of the Queens
Club tournament yesterday by Ian G..
Collins and F. H. D. Wilde, the British
combination which is being groomed
for doubles duty in defense of. the In
ternational Tennis Trophy.
Williams has taken the plea under
advisement, but declines to commit
himself.
II still have an open mind on the
makeup of the team" he said, "and
it still Is a month before We must
meet the European zone winner for
the right to challenge England"
There is no personal feeling between
Lott and Stoefen over the matter, the
two remaining great pals both on and
off the courts and it was thought
likely Stoefen agreed with his partner.

The better putting touch won a rous-
ing final match for Peacock, as both
played good golf through the 80 holes
the contest consumed.
At the finish Peacock fired two
brides for the winning holes and left
his medal score just l over par for
the distance. Caldwell, at the same
point, was 5 over. But fer puts that
would roll close to the cup but would
not drop, Ernie might still be battling
away for the championship which has
managed to elude him in three tourna-
ments, IN which he gained the final.

d ing the gallery of several hundred
on-lookers who marched along
the way. First it would be tremen-
dOus shot from the tee-both are long
hitters-then it would be a pin-split-
ting iron shot or a remarkable recovery
from difficulty.
The local golfer lost the third hcle
