AMERICANS ARE

CUP CONTESTS
Allison and Van Ryn Lost
at Doubles Today in

Wimbledon, Eng, July 29-(UP)
England today completed a Sec
ond successful defense of the Dav-
is Cup, emblamatic of world su-
premacy in amateur tennis, when
its doubles team of Pat Hughes
and c. r. D. Tuckey scored a sur
priseing SO, 1-6, 6-S, 6-3, 6-3, VIC
tory over the American team Of
Wilmer Allison and Johnny Van

The doubles victory, coupled
with the clean sweep of Saturday
two opening singles matches, gave
England the three points necessary
for retention of the famed trophy
and reduced tomorrow's two con-

which Allison will play Fred Perry
and Donald Bulge of California
will engage Bunny Austin, to the
status. Of meaningless exhibitions.
The victory of Tuckey and

PRIMARY BATTLE
in REPUBLICAN
RANKS EXPECTED
COP. Women Are Not Any
Too Pleased Over Way
They Were Treated

Threat Of a primary battle next
year to decide membership on the
6. o. p. town committee, made
Thursday night by School Com
missioner Gertrude Bowes at the
republican town convention, has
stirred up much action in the party
headed by Chairman Frederick w.
Palomba. Mrs. Bowes protested
loudly against the reduction in the
size of the town committee when
it was disclosed that not more
than one woman would have to
be named to the body from each
ward and from the floor of the
convention informed Chairman Pa
lomba that primary battle was
inevitable.
That the battle will equal IL
not surpass the primary battle of
1884 when Chairman Palomba un-
seated the "old guard" was the
opinion expressed everywhere to-
day. While Chairman Palomba led
the new guard" in the fight to
unseat the "old guard" in 1884 It
is now apparent that in the 1886
fight Chairman Palomba will be
on the defensive with many Of
his former supporters fighting to
Gust him. Control of the town
committee is all that is needed
to control the selection of the
chairman.
