British Specialize.

THE British have a very capable
doubles pair in Tuckey and
Hughes. They scored over Allison and
Van Ryn in the Davis Cup matches
after they had been downed by the
American combination at Wimbledon.
1t is reasonable to assume that they
will show improvement over last year
when they teamed up for the first
time Unlike the United States doubles
team, the Englishmen are spared the
strain Of competing in the singles.
That slight edge in the matter Of
physical condition may well mean q
point to the British.
With Allison at his best, and a
normal improvement on the part Of
Bulge, the United States would have
fair chance Of regaining the Davis
Cup. But that looks a large order
for the lads named for the squad, even
against a weakened British lion.

NO DECLINE SEEN
IN BRITISH TENNIS
American 0ptimists Need
Rose e-Colored Glasses
to See Trophy Win.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
THOSE optimists who are inclined
to view the United States
chances of regaining the Davis
Cup this year through rose
colored glasses are banking more on
the decline of British tennis than on
any great improvement in the Ameri.
can ranks.
Wilmer Allison played mighty fine
tennis in the nationals last Summer.
good enough tennis to beat any man
on the courts, but that does not nee
essarily indicate that the Texas will
flash the same form in the Davis
Cup challenge round (assuming, of
course. that the United States gains
the challenge round). Allison is not
consistent. He had spurted before
to show brand of tennis, but in the
past those flashes of form were tenn
porary and invariably followed by
serious let-down. Until last Septem-
Der, when he won the national singles
title, he was generally down when to
have been up would have meant some
thing.
So far as Allison is concerned, all
that can be hoped for is that he
strikes his 1885 Forest Hills form in
the Davis Cup play.
Bulge Main Hope.
DON BUDGE should come back a
finer all-around performer this
year. That season of international
competition abroad should have a
steadying influence on the redhead
from the coast. 1t was expecting q
lot of the youngster when he was
tossed into the Davis Cup arena on
his first visit abroad
Fred Perry assures British tennis
enthusiasts that he will be all right
by tennis time. He returned to Eng
land for treatment and a complete
rest before starting the conditioning
grind which he expects will bring him
back to the courts in his old form,
or something approaching it. Perry
doesn't have to regain his old peak to
hold the present crop of players at
bay. He was pretty much in a class
by himself at Wimbledon and in the
Davis Cup challenge round last sea-
son.
Naturally, Perry Is England's main
hope, but he is by no means all the
British have to toss into the Davis Cup
fray. You can't overlook Bunny Aus
tin. Austin seems to reach his peak
for only one series Of matches, and
always the most important one Of the
season. Don Bulge put him out Of the
Wimbledon tournament with no great
difficulty, only to find far different
Bunny when they met in the Davis
Cup play. Austin downed Bulge in
the big matches with the same ease
that the American scored over him.
Austin is a mighty important threat
and cannot be overlooked when figur-
ing our chances of regaining the inter-
national cup.

THESE petty heckles do not dis

their destiny.
Il never saw q club that felt so
sure Of making good" reported Mr..
Grimm. ''If they do half as well as
they expect, we should win from

These are the same Cubs, almost
man for man, who sprinted home
to pennant last year with 81 straight
victories. The round, honest face of
Mr.. Freddie Lindstrom is missing
from the lineup, having been re-
leased, along with Mr.. Lindstrom's S
body and soul, to the Brooklyn Dod-
ger@but Freddie is the only absentee.
Philip Cavarretta, the boy first
baseman, is back In his World Series
spot. Bill Herman, the best second
baseman In the league, Is looming
in the middle distance again, with
his chum and the co-author of many
q double play, William Jurges. At
third we find the familiar countenance
of Stanley Hack. AL this Is Just as
1t should be.
The 0utfield has only one new
tenant-Charies (Chuck) Klein
and Chuck Il not entirely new.
Though ditched in favor Of Lind
strom during the victory charge last
September, he emerged again in the
world series and smote what the boys
are fond Of referring to as o $3.50, 900

Chuck works, will be Augie Galan, the
child prodigy of 1885, and the long
hitting Frank Demaree.
Gabby Hartnett continues to ogle
blandly from behind the plate; and

Sullivan at New Orleans. Sullivan
lacked everything in that encounter.
