abroad which quoted him as saying
after his Davis cup defeat that he
was through with cup play, were
pure fabrcations. Allison still is
keen for cup play and will be in
there making his bid next year.
The race for the doubles berth IL
just as wide open as in the singles.
Allison and Johnny Van Ryn want
another crack at it and may get
it, but the teams of Frank Shields
and Parker, Bulge and Mako, and
the new combination of Wilmer
Hines and Henry Culley, are ready
ot make serious challenges.
There are some critics who think
that Bulge is making a mistake in
playing doubles, and that like Fred
Perry he should abandon tandem
work altogether and concentrate on
singles.
Australias decision to play in the
American zone next year does not
make our cup prospects any
brighter. In fact don't be surprised
if your Uncle SamuePs representa-
tiVes get no closer to England
than Coney Island next year.

WOMEN Ne: 7
STARS MEET
IN DOUBLES {

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass, Aug.
"a. tuP)-Miss Helen Jacobs and her
chop stroke and Mrs. Sarah Pal
fley and her matchless volleys were
Slight favorites today to defeat the
California Connecticut tie am of
Carolin Babcock and Mrs. Dorothy
Andrus in the women's final of the
54th annual national tennis doubles
championship at the Longwood
Cricket club.
The match, sandwiched between
the mems semi-finals, is an exact
duplicate of last years champion
ship round when Miss Jacobs and
Mrs. Palfrey defeated Miss Bah
cock and Mrs. Andrus in three blis-
tering sets. The battle is likely to
go the full route, for the opposing
teams, in ousting the two British
Wightman cup teams yesterday,
were at the top of their games. The
most impressive showing was made
by the challengers in whipping the
Wimbledon champions, Kay Stam-
mers and Freda James, in straight
sets.
While Miss Stammers and Miss
James are the All-England titlists,
they probably are not as fine as
Nancy Lyle and Evelyn Dearman,
who fell before the champions.
This pair gave Miss Jacobs and
Mrs. Fabyan a genuine battle, but
in the end bowed to superior power
and experience.
The mems semi-finals promise
the keenest tennis of the tourna-
ment. In the opening match the
Davis cuppers and top-seeded boys
Wilmer Allison and Johnny Van
Ryn, meet the sensational new
combine of Henry Culley and Will
mer Hines. In the second joust
Frankie Parker and Frank Shields
will engage Donald Bulge and
Gene Mako. Culley and Hines, who
humbled Berkeley Bell and Greg
ory Mangin with ridiculous east
yesterday, figured to give the vet

Rv HENRY McLEMORE

United Press Staff Correspondent
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass, Aug.
24.-When next year rolls round
and the time comes for the nam
ing of the 1886 American Davis
cup team, you are going to be
treated TO one of the most de-
lightful scrambles for places you
ever laid your eyes on. For, for the
first time since the cup was placed
in competition in 1900, the race for
jobs on the United States teaJl is
wide, wide open.
In the past makeup Of the team
was a pat affair. Five or six play
ers who dominated the game usu-
ally were around, and the selection
of the squad consisted simply C1
marking these standout performers
and telling them to be off and
about their work. But those dear
days are past. In all the 48 states
there is but one cup certainty right
now-carrot-t topped Donald Bulge
of California. Name him and you've
named them all.
Donald, although a very willing
young man, cannot work alone
Who will be his comrades? The
writer, in five days lounging about
the Longwood Cricket club for the
national doubles, has heard dozens
of suggestions from dozens of ten
mis- critics and lovers. Some are
very sound. and some are touched
with Stiffness.
There was the very logical sug-
gestion, for example, that Gregory
Mangin, the indoor champion, be
named as BudgeS singles partner
Superb on wood Mangin always
has been second-flight on grass in
this country, but he has one i'm
portant virtue-he has never lost
to Bunny Austin, and he has play
ed the English ace several times.
Now a guy who could dispose OF
Bunny would be a very helpful ad-
junct to the American team. Whe-
ther Or not Mangin could turn the
trick in the cup play, when Bun
ny has a habit of reaching the
very pinnacle of his power, is some
thing else again. But it might be
worth a try.
