Farr Wins MoraL Victory h HeaDy 7itle Bout
GERMAN NETMEN vow TO REGAIN
 THE DAVIS CUP
Mako Far Off Form as Won Cranlm and I1enkeI
 Win Easily
By ERNEST BARCELLA United Press Staff Correspondei

By ERNEST BAHCELLA United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Chestnut Hill, Mass, Aug. 31.- (UP)-Baron Gottfried Won Cramm and Henner Henkel vowed today to bring the Davis cup to Germany be- fore they ended their tennis careers.
 Following an upset victory over the worlds top ranking tennis com- bination, Don Budge and Gene Mako in the United States doubles cham pionships yesterday, Won Cramm, acting as spokesman for the team said:
 Determined
 We will not give up until we take the Davis Cup home to Germany. We will play next year and next until we can't play any more"
 The Budge-Mako reign ended in straight set defeat, 6-4, 7-5, 6-4, at the Longwood Cricket club sta- dium yesterday at the hands of a tandem they had conquered twice previously in the past two months in the all-England championships and in the Davis cup inter-zone ffn- als at Wimbledon.
 The match clinaxed day of dis aster for defending champions. Not one of the five title teams in the 57th annual national doubles events made successful defense of their 1936 crowns.
 The women's crown went to sec- ond-seededi Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fa- byan of Boston and national singles champion Alice Marble of Los An- geles who subdued defenders Mrs. John Van Ryn of Austin, Texas, and Carolin Babcock of Los Angeles, 7-5, 6-4.
 Lawrence A. Baker of Washington, D. C., and Jon Mckay of Miami Beach, Fla. upset Dwight W. Davia of Washington, donor of the Davis Cup, and William Clothier of Phila- delphia to bag the veterans title, 6-3, 4-6, 6-2.
 Clothier and son, William Jr, were busted. 6-4, 7-5, by R N Watt and son, Laird, of Montreal for the fath- grandson crown To top 1t of, Mako and Miss Marble were elimi- mated in the mixed doubles quarter finals 60, 6-3, by Mrs Dorothy An- drus of New York and Jiro Yama- gishi of Japan.
 The mixed doubles issue will be settled today between the Budge- Fabyan tandem and the winner of the other semi-final match between the Yamagishi-Andrus team and the French pair of Mime. Sylvia Hen- rotin and Won Petra. No AIibis Won Cramm and Henkel were jubilant over their victory--the first by foreign team in IS years.
 Somewhat downcast. Budge said. they were just too good for us. I felt all right, but they just out played us."
 The match was billed as one of the outstanding battles in American tennis history. But on the basis of the Budge-Mako performance the affair was flop. The Californians failed to extend the Germans even as much as less-vaunted teams had during the tourney.
 Mako was far of form and Budge spent most of the afternoon trying vainly to make Up for his partners mistakes. Won Cramm came to the rescue in the third set when the Americans threatened to come from behind and win.
 With his team trailing 0-3. Won Cramm won his service at love and continued the attack until the de- lenders wilted.

"He'U Do Better"
 Says Farr's Sister

London, Aug. 31.-(UP)-Its too bad Tommy Farr's Aunt Carey wasn't at the ringside last night because she lashed the air with a dozen potential kayo wallops while listening to broadcast of the fight.
 She couldn't sit still, jump ing up on the Chesterfield and swinging her small fists, one of which clenched tightly a bunch of leeks. (The leek is the flower of Wales-Ed.)
 "Go on Tommy, go on," she yelled as Farr made his game last round challenge for the decision. Sister Sally took the adverse verdict philosophically, saying Ines a Welshman. he'll do better"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-08-31

New York, Aug. 31-(UP)-Being nothing more than the bare com- ment of the present and former boxing champions at the finish of the Joe Louis-Tommy Farr world s heavyweight championship fight:
 Jack Dempsey: Fifteen years ago, against that sort of fighter, would have sent Jack Kearns out to do the fighting, and I would have stayed in the corner.
 Jack Johnson: Give me three pork chops and a breath of fresh air and I'll challenge 'em both.
 Jack Sharkey: And to tnink they used to boo me! That's not the same Louis who knocked my head of with left.
 Gene Tunney: Very interesting engagement. Very
 Jimmy Braddock: I'd like another whack at that championship. Ii he had fought the same fight against me that he did against Farr, Louis never would have taker

hadn't been a "bleeder" the chances are he would today be the champion of the world. Because it was the two slashes on his cheekbones- slashes that covered his face with blood and made him appear much more beaten than he really was that were chiefly responsible for the judges vote.
 He bled because most of his life was spent deep in a coal mine where the sun never had a chance to harden his skin. He came into the ring with milk-white skin. Early in the fight a left hook tore open the wound under his right eye that he suffered in training, and short ly after a ripping right sliced his left cheek.
 For IS rounds Farr fought the perfect fight for a man who lacks a knockout punch. He never kept still, never offered Louis shot at a set target. First he would move to the right, then to the left. Now he'd fight in crouch, now he'd move in from an upright stance. He feinted with everything-feet, hands head, and body. Louis missed doz- ems of times, as he floundered in the wake of the shifty Welshman. And it was Farr who made the fight Time and again he moved quickly in, to belabor Louis with rights to the chin, and jolting punches in- side. And often he drove Louis into the ropes, and kept the champion there.
 Louis won the fight, on points, with his left hand Not the wicked, hooking left of earlier fights, but a light but sure jabbing left hand. The champion threw few really stout punches. The first of these came in the fifth round when, despite the injury he spoke of later, he stag gered Farr with straight right that exploded with a bang on the challengers' chin. Tn the seventh Joe pinned his man in a corner and punished him severely with a bar rage of lefts and rights, but Farr absorbed 1t all and was holding his own at the end of the round. Just at the finish of the tenth round Louis landed another right that shook Farr from shoes to head. Joe sent across another whistling right in the 14th, but for the most part the list five rounds were devoted to jabbing.
 Speed Beats Joe
 The fight proved that Louis, a devastating force against slow, awkward foe, can easily be hand cuffed by one with speed, savvy, and courage. He never had seen anyone who fought like Farr, and he didn't have an answer. Often he stood blinking in the middle of the ring as the challenger darted in and out, to the right and to the left.
 He was easy to hit. Tommy hit Joe many smacks on the chin, and had he possessed the power of a Schmeling most surely would have won by a knockout.
 Farr, who was made" in defeat, is expected to remain in this country for several months. Promo. ter Mike Jacobs has several battles planned for him. and one of them undoubtedly is return shot at the championship.
