Bulge Defeats Hare
In.l5-13 Set; Parker
Loses His Match

WIMBLEDON, England. July
"a U.N.sJ.-In one of the most
amazing matches ever seen in
Davis Cup competition, Donald
Bulge, the red,headed Californian,
gave the United States an even
break on the days play today.
He defeated young Charley Hare,

of England, had beaten frankie
Parker, 6-3, 60, rs.
However, neither Bulge nor
Austin was the hero of the day.
That honor, and the tremendous
ovation of the crowd, was reserved
for Hare, the long. awkward,
shambling youngster, whose bril-
liant battle in the first set Of
his match with Bulge will live
forever in the annals of British
tennis.
Hare Proves Tartar
Hare was supposed to be a push
over for his great American rival.
It was thought he would not be
an even match for Parker whom
he meets next Tuesday. But as
game after GAINS was reeled off
and the gangling giant held his
own with Bulge, the crowd roared
in anticipation of what the home
fans thought would be the biggest
sport upset of the year.
Bulge seemed to have trouble
in solving the giants awkward

Time and again he blistered the
sidelines or whistled rifle shots

scored an ace off his tremendous
first service against the bewildered
American.
