Ryder Cup Prospects.

Ryder Cup team-Snead. Dud-
ley, Nelson, and, Of course, Guldahl-
three are rs or younger, with Dudley,
at IS. the only veteran. This quartet,
added to Shute, Picard, Sarazen and
the others, should give the United
States the strongest all-around COM
bination it ever has sent across. Just
how the younger stars will handle
British winds is another matter.
1t will be an interesting experiment
when they move into action against
a British team that Great Britain is
backing with full confidence. With
Cotton. Adams, Padgham and others,
the home defenders expect to win
again over wind-blown British turf
The entire United States crew also will
take part in the British open through
the first week in July, where the
scramble may be even hotter than it
was at Oakland Hills.

Williams Beats Walsh.

WILLIAMS, the first boy to reach
Nv the final round, did 80 by con-
Quering Jack Walsh in a hard-fought
match, 81, 80. Despite his small
stature, Williams displayed a good
all-around game, hitting them equal
~ well forehand or backhand. Walsh,
on the other hand, was handicapped
by a weak service, but put up great
fight, especially in the first set.
Heffner and johnson advanced to
the final round in junior doubles by
winning two matches, defeating De-
witt Armstrong and Jack Hoyt before
eliminating Byron Mathews and Bob
Richardson. March and Turner were
required to defeat only Bob Chichester
and Dewitt Smith to keep abreast with
their rivals.
In boys doubles Brossard and Titus
had little trouble with George Horkan
and John Lincoln in the only match
played.

GERMANS LIKELY
!. s. TENNIS FOES
FavorItes Over Czechs in
Contrast of Their Play
at Wimbledon.
By the Associated Press,

W WIMBLEDON, England, June
n 22.-Wimbledon's opening,
Wv if it proved anything, def
nitely gave Germany the
call over Czechoslovakia as the likely
opponent of the United States in the
Davis Cup interzone final, and oddly,
it took an Australian to do it.
Jack Crawford, 29-year- "vet-
eran" Of the Aussie Cup team, out to
prove he hadn't slipped as far as some
OF the experts seemed to think, started
out yesterday by eliminating towering
Roderich Mcneil in the first round.
Menzel, ace of the Czech team, was
seeded sixth, while Crawford, the
1888 champion, was left off the list.
The Australian not only won, 6-4,
7-9, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, but Menzel was
completely worn out at the finish.
Germans Win Easily.
MEANWHILE. the German stars,
Baron Gottfried Won Cramm and
Heinrich Henkel, won handily from
a pair of English "unknoWns." On
their form this season, Won Cramm
at least Is stronger than Crawford,
and Henkel about even with him, so
they shouldn't have much trouble TAX
ing the European zone final series from
Menzel and his partner, Ladislaus
Hecht.
Otherwise there was little more ex.
citement on the opening day than was
expected today, when the women's sin.

Appraisal of Snead.

over his game" Bobby Cruick-
shank said, "and to give him any sug-
gestions l thought worth while. After
watching him play I had only this to
say-you've already got one of the
best swings ever saw. Don't change
any part Of it. All you need is more
tournament experience Get this and
you won't have to worry. I don't
think he will have much worrying left.

Parents Obtain Thrills.

PARENTS of junior and boy play
ers apparently get as much, if
not more. kick out of the play of
their offspring as the youngsters
themselves. Strand johnson and
Capt. Pete Heffner never miss
match in which David or Harry are
playing. Harry March's father usual
ly is on the spot. Messrs. Cowan and
Williams received just the kind of
Fathers Day present they wanted
most when they saw their boys win
Sunday. The Lincolns usually are
there when John performs and Mr..
and Mrs. Matthews never miss one
OF Byron's matches
None quite equaled the unmistak-
able anguish Of pair of fond moth
ers, however, on Sunday when
boys doubles match was in progress.
AS Eddie Richardson and Jack Walsh
neared the brink of defeat of their
match with Brossard and Titus, you
needn't have asked whose mothers
they were.

" II A I tow headed yOungSter
whom the doctor has ordered
not to play any more golf un-
Il til next Fall keeps on his WIN
ming ways. Bobby BroWnell, the Dis
trict amateur and junior champ, to-
day moved another crown over onto
his blond head-this time the Mary
land junior title. But with it all Bob
by's heart isn't full. The youngster
had hoped to get out this year after
bigger game in his last high school
year before he matriculates at Duke
University next September, but that's
denied him.
Bobby had hoped to be able to play
in the Eastern interschoIastic cham
pionship at Greenwich, Conn.,, next
week. but the entry list is closed to
all but students at private schools.
Bobby is to graduate tomorrow from
Roosevelt High, and even though he'd
be an outstanding competitor in the
Eastern interscholastic affair, he won't
be permitted to play.
Bob cleaned up everything in junior
circles around Washington last year,
and this year he's on his way again.
He won't be able to defend
his District junior title next
week at Washington, because
that tourney is limited to boys
who haven't yet reached their
18th birthday, but Bob doesn't
need that one.
He's still the District amateur king
and Maryland State junior champ,
Disregards Doctors Advice.
WEEKS ago the medicos were
called in to look at Bob He's

They tapped his chest, thumped his
knees and ordered him to rest But
what good golfer-particularly young
one-can rest in the middle of hot
golf season? So Bobby disregarded
the advice and today he has added
the Maryland junior crown to his list
OF titles. He didn't do anything much
but play two rounds of that tough

on his heels came Otto Greiner, the

timore, with 149. Otto three putted
the thirty-sixth green when two puts
would have enabled him to tie Bobby,
but he finished before Brownell came
to the last hole.

Billy Shea of Congressional, the
defending champ, had rounds of rs

Indian Spring won in the 16-17-year-

Two Dramatic Features.

GULDAHL'S victory removed some
of the CLINT from two other dra-
matte features that belong to golf his
tory. One was the performance of "a
year-old Sammy Snead, playing in his
first open. The other was the great
stretch running Of 42-year-old Bobby
Cruickshank, who was playing before
Guldahl and Snead were born.
Snead played brilliantly all along
the route, a finished golfer in every
respect, with the personality that
catches the fancy of the crowd He
was the tournament favorite, as far
as the big galleries went, drawing
big majority Of the galloping herd in
his wake. You may recall that he
won the long-driving contest at Pitts
burgh with three wallops averaging
over 800 yards. and at Oakland Hills
he split the best-dressed championship
with Craig Wood, one OF the masters
OF sartorial art.
You can't ask for more versatility
than this.

"A 70 ONE can question Ralph
N Guldahl's place at the top Of
golf. The big Texan is a
4 long, straight hitter, fine
iron player and one of the best OF
the putters. He has all the equip
ment that a champion needs, plus
nerve control and stout grip on
his heart.
-Four years ago, at the age Of 81, he
was good enough to get within a
short putt of the title, but there was
no wavering on this last occasion,
when he turned in rounds of II, SO,
72 and SO for the swiftest and the
most consistent victory any open
championship ever saw.
Guldahl is 6 feet 2, weighing 2l0
pounds He has tremendous shoulders
and big, strong hands that can whip
the club head through heavy rough
when he wanders off the main road.
In the last eight months he has won
three big tournaments and he finished
second in the masters, at Augusta,
which is proof enough that he is no

Mrs. C. H. Springer (white) of
Mitchell, South Dakota, travelling
on her own resources gathering
data on the American Negro, visit
ed this newspapers office Tuesday.
Mrs. Springer is personally in
terested in a closer relationship
and racial understanding between
Negroes and whites and is con-
neGted with no organization. Her
interest was aroused a few years
ago when a young Negro boy at
tending the South Dakota Univer-
sity lived at her home as one of
the family. She was further in
spired by replies to questionnaires
sent by her to both Negroes and
whites throughout the United
States.
From here Mrs. Springer will
go to Chicago, Detroit and Fort
Wayne, Indiana, where she will
live among Negroes and study
their problems and mannerisms.
Thus far her study has been con-
fined to the situation of the Ameri-
can Negro in the north.
