BUDCE IS VICTOR
BUT GRANT BOWS
Californian and Baron Win
First Matches in Cup Play
in Straight Sets.

WIMBLEDON, England, July H.
Sorrel-topped Don Bulge gave the
United States an even break In the
opening singles matches Of the Davis

today. trouncing Heinrich Kenkel,
go, 81, t3. after Bryan M. (Bitsy)
Grant Of Atlanta had bowed to Baron
dottfrted Won CramIn, e3, 6-, 60.
The top-ranking players Of the rival
teams thus fully lived up to advance
calculations. Won Cramm had very
little more trouble wit, the tiny Grant
than Bulge did with the stolid Henkel.
After a lay-off over Sunday, the
series will be resumed Monday with
the doubles, pitting Bulge and Gene
Mako against Won Cramm and Henkel.
Final Singles Tuesday.
On Tuesday Grant will play Henkel
and Bulge will meet Won Cramm in
the final two singles matches.
The survivor Of the series will face
Great Britain in the challenge round
here July 24-26-27.
Where Won Cramm used up ! hour
and 7 minutes is disposing Of Grant
in the opening match, the surpris-
ingly small crowd Of 5000 saw Bulge
whip Henkel In So minutes.
In neither match WAS there ever
any question as to the eventual victor.
United States Rules Favsrite.
With the end Of the first days play,
the United States continued to rule
the favorite TO take the series and
then beat Great Britain in the chal-
lenge round. Experts figure the
American doubles pair of Bulge and
Mako slightly superior to the Teuton
combination and rate Grant no worse
than an even money bet against
Henkel. They already have conceded
Bulge two singles victories. for the
Oakland, Calf. ace thoroughly
trounced Won Cramm in the finals of
the all-England championships at
Wimbledon.
Al 4 matter OF fact. critics thought
the red-head WAS In even greater
form today than against Won Cramm
In the all-England championships
Henkel was virtually helpless in the
face Of magnificent passing shots from
Budge's backhand.
Though the opening matches were
one-sided, most experts agreed Henkel
had allowed better form than Grant,
who admitted he WAS 80 nervous I
couldn't see out there 1T first"
Grant paid tribute to Won Cramm
AZ the "second best player In the
world"

much chance against Bulge Tuesday

dicted the atmosphere would not clear
