TEAM BEATS
AUSTRALIANS
Bulge Defeated Bromwich;
Bitsy Grant Halted
Jack Crawford
BY HENRY SUPER

Forest Hills, N. Y. May 81. -
U.P)-The United States completed
it's rout of Australia today, sweep
ing the concluding cingles of the
five match series for a Shut-out
victory in the North American
zone finals of Davis Cup tennis
competition.
Donald Bulge, Oakland, Cal,
red-head, defeated young John
Bromwich, 6-2 6-3 ST, 6-l and
Bryan (Bitsy) Grant, the Atlanta
giant killer" halted Jack CraW-
ford, 60, 62, 7-5.
Bromwich's success in taking a
set from Bulge prevented the men
from down under from suffering
their worst cup defeat in history.
Had the 18-year-old blond not
won iC, the defeat would have been
worse than AuStraliaS choWing IN
1924. In that year the Antipodes
players also won but single set
in the doubles match as they
were hut out in the challenge
round by the United States.
Although the United States
clinched the series yesterday by
winning the doubles, the AuStral-
ians fought bitterly before bowling
in matches which were nothing
but exhibitions.
By winning over a team that, up
until the time it wac riddled by
injuries, had been the favorite, the
United States qualified to the Eu
ropean zone winner, probably Ger
many, for the right to challenge
England for the trophy.
The American team of Bulge,
Grant, Gene Mako and Frank
Parker, the latter an alternate,
sails Saturday for Europe. Aus
tralia goes abroad Wednesday to
play in the All-England tourney
at Wimbledon before continuing
home around the globe.
1t wasn't until the final set of
the series that Crawford, figured
to be the strong man of Aus
tralias cup quest showed some of
the game that once made him the
most feared man on the courts. In
the opening Setj Crawford had
gone down without a struggle as
Grant returned his best shots and
stood on the baseliAe asking, for
more.
Crawford had thrown away At
point; as he took only two games
in the first two sets. Grant had
picked up only nine points on his
own placement shots, and 1t look
ed like Crawford would bow in the
final set without taking a game.
Grant, falling all over the court
to make shots, rolled up a 80
lead. Crawford then went to work
and drew even at SIS, &tarting the
rally by breaking Grants service
for the first time in the fourth
game. Crawford twice fought off
match point. Grant then forged
ahead by breaking Jacks service
and he rounded out the victory by
winning his own service in the
18th.
Crawford was tired near the
end. Several times, after being run
back and forth on the base line,
he grabbed hi; heart as if in pain.
Bulge reeled off the first two
sets of his match in short order.
Then BromWich, who had substi-
tuted in this series for the ailing
Adrian Qui t, flashed the style
which made him Australian cham
pion this year and won the third
set. Success apparently was too
much for the youngster, however,
for he bowed without a struggle
in the final set.

1fC" L VII N1dy O1.-NOh"- III &C
American league clubs - Cleve-

Day doubleheaders while the pace
making New York Yankees divided
a pair with the Boston Red SoX.
The YankS came from behind to
score all of their runs in the last
chree innings to win the opener,
4-3, and the Red Sox, behind the
eight hit pitching of Walberg, took
the 4econd, 80. With the bases

keys slow roller to the infield.
Washington found Philadelphia
easy, triumphing 6-3 and 6-1.
Fischer scattered 10 hits to win
the opener, and Weaver hurled six

Cleveland scored a 6-5 decision
over Detroit in an thinning af-
fair, after Ace Hudlin had his
fifth win of the year, II, by linn
iting the Tigers to six hits in the
curtain raiser. 1t was Earl Aver
ills triple sending Bruce Campbell
home from first base in the 18th

twice for Cleveland in the opener,
and Hughes hit for the circuit in
the finale.
Monte Stratton scattered nine
hits and hit a double to drive in
two runs and defeat the st. Louis

Chicago, but the nightcap was
tighter with the White Sox scor-
ing the winning run for a 9-8 de-
ciSion in the ninth. It was single
by Kreevich that drove home
Hayes, who had doubled, with the
winning margin. Clint Brown who
pitched the last two innings got
credit for winning.

pressure The ITO barrels of oil used in forcing the acid
back into the formation quickly recovered and the well
continued to pump at the of barrels per hour or

Pondera oil field producers are
today enjoying the best marketing
season of the present year. with I'm
perial Oil company taking all of the
production in excess of the needs
Of Home Oil & Refining Co. OF
Great Falls.
Imperial is now manufacturing
some road oil in its Calgary plant
Turner Valley crude is not suitable
for road oil manufacture and the
growing demand for oiled roads in
Canada has compelled the importa-
tion Of an asphaltic crude. POndera
crude is by far the best refinery
stock for this purpose found in Nor
thenn Montana. Accordingly, Imper-
ial has been buying spot oil until II
has cleaned up all the field storage
and is taking all of the current pro-
duction of all operators desiring TO
SELL 1t is stated that Imperial has
bought considerable storage oil from
Home Oil & Refining Co., which is
using mostly Cut Bank crude at
Ibis time of the year.
The only important oiled road in
Alberta at present is the highway !
from Calgary to Bamff and it's
great popularity has resulted in a
demand for more oiled roads incIud-
ng the Sunshine highway from
south through Lethbridge
o the Montana boundary to join the
lied roads on the Montana side.
Pondera storage was reduced a.
out $4,000 barrels during the
Month of July Production for that
Month was S5,116 barrels against
