 Chestnut Hill, Mass, Aug. 27. (UP)-Californians were Uncle San's chief torch bearers today in the 57th annual national doubles competitions that had eliminated Canada, England, and Japan from the mems play and Chile and Ger many from the women's events.
 Already, three American teams have reached the serni-finals.
 Davis Cup and defending cham pions Don Budge and Gene Mako made the grade yesterday, as did Bryan (Bitsy) Grant and Wayne Sabin, third seeded combination, and Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fabyan and Alice Marble, second among Amer ican women tandems.
 Of the six, all but two, Mrs. Fabyan of Boston and Grant of Att lanta, Ga, are Californians. If form runs true three more United States teams which include four Californians should be in the select semi-final bracket by night- fall.
 Germans Favored
 In one of the two remaining mems quarter finals, Germany's Baron Gottfried von Craram and Henner Henkel are picked to vanquish Mar tin Buxby of Miami and Ellwood Cooke of Portland, Ore.
 Tn the other, form indicates that Johnny Van Hyn M Austin, Tex, and Joe Hunt of Los Angeles, sec. ond-seeded combination, should erase the Frenchman, Jacques Brugnon and Won Petra.
 Thus, the semi-finals would be narrowed down to two American teams and a German and an Amer ican pair.
 Tn the womens doubles, Britain's Kay Stammers and Freda James were the choice to make the semi- finals against Mrs. Dorothy Ahdrus of New York and lime. Sylvia Hen- rotin of France. Rain forced post ponement of their match yesterday
 The outstanding two matches were expected to be among the quarter -finaliStS bracketed in the lower half. Defending champions Carolin Babcock of California and Mrs. Van Ryn were favorites over the surprising combination of Dor. othy Bundy of California and Jad- wiga Jedrzejowska, Polish star. Tn the lower half match, Californiant Helen Jacobs and Gracyn Wheeler seeded third, were given @ shade over England's second ranking wom. ems team of Joan Ingram ane Evelyn Dearman,
 Americans in Finals
 This would mean a semi-final pit. ting an American team against ar English one and two Americans against one another.
 Budge and Mako disposed oi Bobby Riggs and Bernard Coghlan both of Los Angeles, 7-5, I0-e, 6-S yesterday while Grant and Sabir advanced by vaniqulshing Gregory Mangin of New York and lire Yamagishi of Japan in 6 marathon match 7-6, 7-o, o.7. 4-6, 6-4. At the same time Mrs. Fabyan and Miss Marble put out Chile's Anita Lizana and Germayn's Marie L. Horn, 6-3 6-3.
 In the mixed doubles, these teams reached the third round; Won Cramm and Miss Horn; the Van Ryns; Miss Jedrepowska and Hunt; Miss Jacobs and sabin; Miss Bab- cock and Henkcl and Mrs. c. R. Mabley Boston) and Alfred Jarvis Tenafly, N. J) who upset Mime. Henrotin and Won Petro yesterday.

FARR, JACOBS BENEFIC|ARIES
 OF FIGHT DELAY
Race Crowd Expected to Boost Receipts By $5O,.
 900; Louis Nervous
BY LESLIE AVERY

United Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, Aug. 27-A four-day postponement of the Joe Louis Tommy Farr world heavyweight, title match sent champion and chal- lenger back to their New Jersey training camps today.
 By boxing e few rounds today and tomorrow, followed by rest Sun day, the Detroit negro and the for- mer Welsh coai-miner hope to re- tain the peak form reached yes- terday when rain caused Promoter Mike Jacobs to postpone the fight until Monday.
 If the delay benefits either, it will be Tommy. When New York athletic commission physician, Dr William H. Walker, examined the men ct the weighing-in, he found Louis far more nervous than Farr, which he explained probably would cause Joe's fighting edge to become dulled more quickly than that of the cool Welshman. Because the delay is of more than 48 hours, both fighters will have to be ex. +ainined and weighed-in again Monday.
 Jacobs figured that the postpone ment would be worth $60,o00 and in- crease the gate into the neighbor- hood of $376, 6,000. Jacubs expects the return of the Saratoga racing crowd to Manhattan to help the gate which was headed toward one of the lowest marks in modern heavyweight title history. Jack sharkey and Pri- mo Carnero reached bottom when they drew only Si08,2e0.
 Some last minute Farr money dropped the odds on Louis from 0-l to 6-1 yesterday, and because of the postponement, Joe may not en- ther the ring at more than 4-1 or Bel Monday night.
 Meantime, prospects of c title go between Louis and schmeling this fall received little encouragement when schmcling hatly turned down an offer of l2 i.2 per cent Of the gate. regular chaIlenger'S share.

He's prejudiced already" Burnett said.
 Tilden's Coaching
 Several critics expressed tho opinion after Wimbledon this veal that Bill Tilden's coaching hae just about ruined Baron dottfriee von Cramin's backhand. The baron vigorously denies this, how. ever, saying that Tilden was the greatest player of all time and that nothing he could teach 6 fellow could possibly do harm. The Chicago Cubs rate Waily Berger Gianet outhelder, aS the weirdest hitter in baseball. They say there is no telling where the biz right-hander will crack the ball and when he comes to bat both Billy Jurges and Billy Herman play well to the left Of second base.

Les Kaufman, the only Princeton man ever to play pro football, says one of the main reasons the Tigers stay away from the pay-and-play game is the talks given to them by Head Coach Fritz Crisler. Fritz is dead against his boys playing for money. I'll take the Tiger in the hopeful stakes ct the Spa tomorrow.

Not so long ago Max said he was willing to take on Brad dock or Louis, in an alley, bar room or prize ring, purse or no purse, for c chance to get that title back. .. Words, nothing but words.
