New York, July 20. (UP)-Notes scribbled on a wine card as the S. S. Berengaria, bearing the Ryder Cup team and Tommy Farr, slid through the harbor to her north River berth:
 Farr, who'll challenge Joe Louis next month, was f1attened three years ago by gentleman who did mt even trouble to remove his top per or monocle. Farr was working as a Circus strong man at the time, meeting all corners. |. . One of those "stay one round and get a prize" businesses. In walked the styl- ishly dressed fellow and, after a careful scrutiny of Farr, he said: T fawncy I'll take you" No one was more surprised than Farr when the "toff" proceeded to knock him out inside a round. Farr told this story and said that anyone who doubted 1t could write to Hopkins Davis, Esq, London, for proof. |. Hopkins Davis is the "toff" who shed the morning coat and put Farr into mourning Mike Jacobs heard Farr tell the press this story and dawn near Swooned Mike knows that fighters knocked out by innocent bystanders make very little copy So he quickly said to Tommy: But that was a long time ago, when you were a boy" [. No, it wasn't, Mister Jacobs" ans wered the Welshman," it was only a few years ago."
 Bird" for English
 Ralph Guldahl, national open golf champion, says the English are the worst sports in the world. The worst golf sports, anyway. .. "They yelled with glee when the English players made @ good shot and they yelled with glee when we made a bad shot," Guldahl said T don't care if ever visit that country again" Tony Manero, 1885 open champ, echoed Guldahls opinion" In my match with Henry Cotton I begged the gallery to give me room to make my shots. But they crowded me so cosely, and talked so much, that I couldn't hit the ball." George Jacobus, RGA president, was down to meet the Ryder Cup boys and acted SO im- portant that most of the people on the dock thought that he had won all the doubles and single matches singlehanded.

 Wimbledon, England, July 21.- (UP)-Both the winner and loser played the game of their lives.
 The score 6-8, 5-7, GA, 6-2, 8-6 in favor of Don Budge sending the United States into the challenge round against England, doesn't be- gin to tell the story of the drama packed into that two hour and 27 minute match.
 With the historic old stadium dripping with tenseness after young Henner Henkel had beaten the Att lanta, Ga., midget Bryan Grant 7-5, 2-6, 6-3, GA, to square the series at two matches for each nation, the stage was set for the great battle.
 German in Front
 The Germans wonderful perform ance in winning those first two sets extracted the best from Budge in the third and fourth. Calling upon every ounce of strength and every trick in his bag, Donald put every thing into his cannonball service, and with fiery forehand and back hand drives bombarded the Rhine- land stylist so relentlessly, that even von Cramm's fast footwork and un- canny shot anticipation could not cope with them.
 During the period when he was squaring the match, Budge appeared to have his opponent measured" playing confidently and accurately to both wings, while the German seemed to have shot his bolt.
 The fifth set, however, produced the most dramatic tussle have ever witnessed in years of experience, which includes r Wimbledons.
 With shots under complete con- trol again, von Cramm served, drove, volleyed and lobbed with al- most cannonlike speed, forcing Budge to net the ball again and again.
 When it appeared that the Ger man was the complete master with a Al game lead, Budge belaboured the baron with speed and @ fine va- riety of shots. Two perfect fore hand passes, and a drop shot that dug into the turf in the sixth game were especially impressive. Then he began punishing von Cramm with sizzling cross-court drives which the latter was powerless tc return. He didn't even touch many just turning in his tracks and watching the ball blaze by as Budge thus squared the final set at A.
 Dramatic
 Each in turn scored almost i'm possible winners. Games followed service until Budge broke in the 18th game to lead 7-6. Then came the 18-point final game. Budge had the German at match point five times, and with a brilliant assort- ment of shots,' von Cramm reduced the American to deuce with the crowd standing on its feet yelling for Budge to put an end to 1t.
 And the experts probably will be wondering long, long time before they decide how Budge had the courage to attempt the shot with which he ended the grueling match With von Cramm standing only about six feet from his left sideline and dozen feet from the net Budge, who was located in his right. hand court near the baseline smashed sizzling drive between the sideline and the German that land. ed less than six inches inside. Vor Cramm, obviously expecting Budgt to play the usual forehand cross court, was caught hatfooted, and all he could do was turn and watch Germany's Davis cup hopes go glim. mering.
