BY dint of heroic effort, local and

BUDCE BEATEN !. TWICE IN EIGHT DAYS OF PLAY
Grant Headed for Davis Cup PIay-Big Baseball
 Deal Completed
BY LESLIE AVERY

D4 A3Ax0A1A6 AAWGAS4
 United Press Stan Correspondent) New York, Jan 18-Bryan (Bitsy) Grant, mighty mite of tennis player from Atlanta who rates only third with the U. s. Lawn Tennis association, captured top spot in the United Press weekend sport re- view today with his second straight championship victory in eight days over Don Budge of Okland, Calf, No. in U. 8. L.T.A. rankings.
 Outplaying and outgeneraling the sorrel-topped Californian, Grant won the Dixie singles title at Tam pa, Fla, yesterday exactly a week after his triumph over Budge in the finals of the Miami -Biltmore tour- ney. The little Georgian apparently is making his bid for Uucle Sam'S Davis cup team early this year. In the semi-finals at Tampa he elirn- mated Frankie Parker, second U. s. L.T.A. ranking player.
 Grants headlines, however, rated but little higher than a sensational round of golf turned in at the Au- gusta, Ga, women's tourney by the wonder-girl from Minneapolis Pat ty Berg. Patty won the title, coming from behind after shooting medio- ere scores in the early rounds. She clipped six strokes off wemen's par. Her 73 was only one over regular figures for the men.
 Another outsider, Sam Snead of White Sulphur Springs, Wa, had to smash par to win the Oakland, Calif., open golf championship. He was one under yesterday with 8 67 and an aggregate of 270 to beat out Ralph Guldahl of St. Louis who was one over with 8 69 to total 272. Sports elsewhere at 8 glance:
 Baseball-The Cleveland Indians traded Joe Vosmik, Bill Knicker- booker and Oral Hildebrand to the St. Louis Browns for Julius Solters, Paul Andrews and Lyn Lary.
 Football-Los Angeles Bulldogs, angling for a National Professional league franchise, were walked over, 49-0 by the transforming Green Bay Packers, league champions. The leagues Chicago Bears unleashed 8 dazzling array of laterals to win over Ernie Pinckerts All-stars, 51- 20 at San Diego.
 Hockey-Detroit's Red Wings con- quered the Blackhawks at Chicago, 20, and the Boston Bruins blanked the Americans at New York, 80.
 Traek-Glenn Cunningham of Kan sas was beaten six inches in the 1OO0-yard run of the 165th Infan- try's games at New York by David Urbach of N.Y.U., who had 55- yard distance allowance in the ham, dicap affair.
 Swimming-Wallace Spence of the N.Y.A.C., was clocked at 0:28.7 sec onds for the 50-yards breastroke, a new American record, in the Metro politan A.A.U. championships of New York-Yales track team ran its string of consecutice collegiate vic- tories to 152, defeating Brown, A-35.
 Squash Rackets-Canada won the Lapham cup, emblematic of Interna- tional squash rackets supremacy, downing the United States, 8-7, at Montreal. It was Canada's fourth victory in the 16 years of the cups existence. The U. s. won it Il times and England once.
