BUDGE AND MAKO
LIKELY TO TEAM
Allison or Grant to Play
Singles Is Hard Choice.
Van Ryn Dropped.
BY BOB CAVAGNAHO,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

ASSOCldlcu fHCoo EIpOA 70 "AANSt'
n YEW YORK, May 2o.-With the
personnel of the American
" Davis Cup team reduced to
4 four players, in accordance
with international regulations, the
tennis Nestors remained perplexed to-
day in the selection of the actual
team which will oppose Australia next
week end in the suburbs Of Phila-
delphia in the North American zone
anal.
From among Wilmer Allison, the
national champion; red-headed Don
Bulge, Bryan CBitsy) Grant and Gene
Mako the U. S. Cup Selection Com
mittee will have to decide by May 20
on two singles players and one doubles
combination.
The original squad of five, which
has been practicing for 10 days at
the Merton (Pa.) Cricket Club, was
reduced last night. when the COM
mittee created a mild surprise by
dropping Johnny Van Ryn of Phila-
delphia, a veteran of the last seven
cup campaigns.
Champs Beaten Regularly.
IVAN RYN and Allison. as winners
of the national tandem title last
year, were ranked the Nations No.
1885 doubles team. But they have been
beaten consistently this year on both
clay and grass courts by the second
ranking pair. Bulge and Mako. Thus
the elimination of Van Ryn virtually
assured the California youngsters the
doubles assignment, although Hol-
combe Ward. Selection Committee
chairman, explained Allison and
Bulge have been working out to-
gether in practice.
The big problem confronting officials
Is choosing among Allison, Bulge and
Grant, graded in that order in the
national ranking, for the two singles
berths. Bulge, who played singles in
the 1885 and 1886 domestic cup play
and last year in the advanced COM
petition in England, is an almost GER
tain starter.
Although national champion, Alli
son finds himself in the unique posi-
tion of having to battle 1t out with
the pint-sized Georgian for the other
berth. Like Van Ryn, Allison has
been q member Of every cup squad
since 1929, affording him experience
which more than likely will swing the
balance in his favor over Grant.
Allison Slow Starter.
A LLISON is not as good now as he
has been in September" said
Ward. But the same can be said
about lot of players"
The fact that Allison is an acknowl-
edged slow starter, usually seldom
reaching the peak Of his form until
the national championship, might
help Grants chances.
Notwithstanding the fact he has
taken falls out of every top-ranking
player on grass at some time or an
other, "Bitsy" is not the effective per-
former on turf he is on clay.
Ward said he considers the squad
Of four stronger than the team which
went abroad for the interzone final at
Wimbledon last Summer, when, in
addition to Allison. Van Ryn, Bulge
and Mako. the squad included Sidney
Wood.

n L. eleven of the Department

Burns Of Great Falls, Va, went down
to Florida the first of this month for
fishing and found conditions so good
there that they stayed more than two
weeks. Still fishing in the Gulf on

jacks and black groupers plentiful.
The weather was ideal, according to
Burns-14 straight days Of fair sky

The amberjacks take hook readily
and are good fighters, some having
been caught weighing around 100
pounds. The black groupers also are
good fighters. Both make fine eating.

Hazen and favor footing horns in

Opponents of the regulation
point out that at the present
time there is already in effect
a regulation which prohibits the
unnecessary footing of horns and
see no need for a new rule.
Both Commissioner Hazen and
Director Van Duzer agree the
present regulation provides for
unnecessary horn blowing at all
time, but point out that this rule
cannot be enforced properly and
urge a more specific ordinance.
Commissioner George E. Allen

Washington's own candidate for
President Of the United States,

Sented to the public his views on
the action of the Home Owners
Loan Corporation in foreclosing
mortgages on many homes.
The former local policeman,
who resigned from the force to try
his hand at politics, declared that
in 1882 and 1888 bankers who de-
termined it would be necessary to
deprive many debtors of their
homes figured out way to make
the Government bear the burden.
They loaned the Government
money by buying Treasury obliga-
tionS, OverStreet said, in order
that the Government might lend
the money to unfortunate home
owners. Thus, says Overstreet,
the taxpayers are being the brunt
of poor investments made by
banks.
In connection with his state
ment, Overstreet asserted that the
present Administration is mot so
hot as a benefit to the American
people," and described himself as
a Democrat, not a demagogue."
