tin last Saturday. played virtually
haWless tennis to score the most i'm
portant triumph of his career.
Effective on his service, uncannily
accurate with all his shots, the 81
year-old Milwaukee star ran Hare a
newcomer to Davis Cup tennis, ragged
with well-placed lobs whenever the
big British southpaw sought to take
the net.
1t was no contest at any stage of
the proceedings, for Hare never could
get going against Parker's clever gen.
eralship.
Parker's victory not only gave the
United States the trophy for the first
time since France won it at German
town in 1927. but likewise vindicated
his selection by Capt. Walter l.. Pate
as member of the challenge-round
team, replacing Bryan M. ,Bitsy)
Grant of Atlanta.
Parker was hitting the ball so we'll
that the Brlton constantly was off bal
ance and once sprawled his full length
IN the turf, but kept on hitting the ball
from there. When he would get up
Parker would race him far back for a
lob and then drive deep to each cor
ner before hitting a perfect cut shot
just over the net.
The American raced on to take his
own service in the fourth game, los
ing only one point, for 81 lead, but
Hare saved his in the fifth to make the
count % against him.
Parker, at this stage, was so superior
to his opponent that Hare looked COM
pletely helpless He was so worn out
from chasing lobs that he could barely
move. Parker took the sixth game with
the loss Of only single point
Hare rallied momentarilv to hold his
service in the seventh at love- but
Parker took the eighth for 5-3 lead.
Finding the range for a time for his
nfst service, Hare won another love
game in the ninth to trail 5-4, but
Parker held his service in the tenth
game for the set at Ga.
Hare won the first game of the third
set with the loss of only one point and
then took time out to change shoes.
The big fellow spread himself down on
the grass on the side OF the court and
placidly took of the old ones, while
Parker got into his big polo coat to
keep warm.
Evidently happy in the new shoes,
Hare proceeded to race all over the
court to break Parkers service, for the
first time during the match, in the
second game. frankie, however, aban-
doned his baseline tactics in the third
game and broke through Hare's de-
livery to make the count to 2 against
him. Hare lost game point on a dou-
bic fault.
Parker tied it up at % by holding
his service in the fourth game and
then went on to take the set.
Parker won the third set. 60, and
the match, 60, Ga, 60, and
cllnched the Davis Cup.

NEW YORK, July 27.-A brewing

subleaders declared surface truce
until Thursday in the task of picking
his successor. But battle lines were
forming quietly and one OF the chief
issues was whether the hall would
stand firm behind Copeland, critic

switch to Grover A. Whalen, urbane
one-time police commissioner.
Whalen, a strong New Dealer. is the
mayoralty choice OF the four Demo-
cratic borough organizations, outside

Two Leaders for Post.
Chief candidates mentioned for
Doolings post, temporarily being held
by Acting Tammany Head William P.
Kenneally. were Representative Chris
topher D. Sullivan OF the second as
semoly district and United States
Marshal John J. Kelly.
Kelly was backed by James j. Hines,
long powerful in Tammany and
leader in the move to throw the Halls
support to Whalen. Sullivan was sup
ported by Albert Marinelli, who led
many unsuccessful attempts to unseat
Dooling during the latters stormy
three-year reign.
Copelands strongest hopes OF re-
tanning the support recently voted him

tee lay in the behind the-scenes aid

by retaining intact the dominant al

by postponing selection of a new lead

mary.

man, and the announced intention of

BY the Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, July 27.-Strik-
ing hotel workers who voted heavily
to accept a compromise settlement
plan returned to picket lines today
as new labor difficulties kept this city's
10 major hostelries closed for the
eighty-eighth day.
The new tie-up involved engineers
and laundry workers. who are nego-
tiating unsuccessfully with operators
for renewal OF union contracts, but
are not on strike. Operators said they
could see no gain in attempting to
reopen until a settlement is reached.
Culinary and clerical workers, who
voted 1881 to 6l3 yesterday in favor
OF peace plan worked out through
weeks OF negotiation, returned to the
picket lines in an effort to force
through new agreements for the engi-
neers and laundry workers. The latter
did not appear in the lines.
Operators and union representatives
expressed belief agreements could be
worked out to allow the hotels-closed
since May Ito reopen tomorrow.
The strikers jubilantly described
their peace terms as union victory.
Under the proposal, union demands
for higher wages and 4O-hour week
will be submitted to arbitration. The
employers granted recognition, but not
preferential hiring to the union repre-
senting clerks and Office workers.
Union officials explained the dis
crepancy between the total strike vote
and the estimated 5000 strikers by
stating many Of the latter had obtained
work in Summer resorts, while others
did not participate in the vote, super
vised by deputy county registrars
William A. Speers, business repre-
sentative Of the engineers said meet
ing was scheduled for today to discuss
proposals offered by the hotel oper-
ators.
This is just as much our strike as it
is the culinary groups" he said land
We hope the operators will appreciate
our sincerity in wanting to consummate
our agreement. thereby lending our
cooperation in the opening of the
hotels"
