two Australian teams arc Involved. The favored them is the regular cup team of Adrian Quist and Jack BromWich This combination won't have as easy time of 1t, though, be- cause the cup spares, Harry Hop man and Leonard Schwartz have played suprb tennis all week. Hop man, captain of the cup team, prob ably hopes hi5 side does lose, be- cause it would be bit embarrass- ing to have his No. team lose on the eve of the challenge round with the United States.
 A final round opponent for the defending champions in the wo- mens doubles will be determined today. Alice Marble and Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fabyan reached the final bracket yesterday with q dazzling win over the English team of Kay Stammers and Margot Lumb. Today the Polish French combination of Jadwiga JedrZejowSka and Mime. Rene Mathieu will oppose the Aus tralian duo and No. on the foreign seeded list, Nancy Wynnc and Thelma Coync, for the right to play for the title.
 The Australians are favored but the wisc money--if there is ony such thing around tennis tournament will be on Jadwga, who eats steaks as though they were petit fours, and the willy matron from La Belle France.

H0UL|HAN WINS TAME RING CO.,;
 CHAMP BEATE*'
Casey Made Irishman Look Bad--Davis Defeated;
 KOvach By K. 0.
BY HUGO HOOKJAB

Danny Houlihan turned in very soft" performance last night against Pat Casey of Hartford to disap- point a crowd of nearly 5000 anna tcur boxing customers who expected to see the New York Irishman who gave Dick Turcotte two great fights knock Casey kicking. Of course, what most of the patrons do not know Is that Casey is the type of fighter that could make worlds champion look bad, with his hold ing, elbow and tie-up tactics, plus the fact that he is as tough as the well-known boarding-house steak and can punch fairly well. How ever Houlihan showed trace of his real ability In the third round and won Referee Jim Galvin's de- cision. The bout was 30 bad in spots that several ringsiders thought Hou- Than was carrying" Casey perhaps to make Dick Turcotte look like a cinch to win when the pair clash for the third time before probable sell-out audience.
 Turcotte, who was spectator last night after he stopped Ray Shea of New York with stomach punch In the first round, was not fooled a bit by Houlihan's hay showing, and will be very well ready for him to come next Thursday.
 AS predicted by this writer, New Haven Joe Ianotu and New Brit ain Henry Davis was the best bat tie on the active card, Ianotti win ming all three rounds to outpoint the state bantam champ who fought hard but to no avail, two knock- downs being scored against him. Baby Face Morris of Danbury start ed as If he would stop New Britain Bobby Ellis in the first round, that took goingover from Ellis in the second round, came back strong to stagger the Hardware City boy, and wound up by walking into a short right hand punch that put him on the floor for a knockout. The punch came so quickly that many did not see it-but 1t was mooney" Mor- ris tried to get up but his legs would not hold him up.
 Mickey Williams, 127, a shifty, fast, clever and hard-punching New Haven lad, won the nod from Jackie Crimmins of Newark, but he had to go the limit of his ability, Crimmins being no slouch himself. The boys provided fine bout, interesting from start to finish. Dula Kovach of Naugatuck won from Al Stevens oi Hartford In punching heavy weight bout, Kovach winning by knockout in the third round after plenty of give and take action. Chick Harris, 134, of New Britain out pointed Little Caesar, Hartford, in bout that got comical and serious by degrees.
 Lou Kane, 150, Naugatuck, and Al Ambro, 15l, Hartford, fought a slashing draw in a novice bout. Am bro had plenty of trouble solving Kane's southpaw style, but finally broke through in the final round to earn draw.
 Fred Vincent, 168, Danbury, using hard left to the stomach to great advantage, outpointed game Billy Fitzgerald, 157, New Britain. in crowd plcaser.
 In the opener, Sam Craig, l47, Waterbury, brother of Eddie Carr, former local pro fighter. made his debut with technical knockout victory over Art Parent, 148, New Haven after only 1:06 of milling. Parent received bad cut over his eye.

Grand American Handicap Winds Up Today for
 $l0,000 Prize Money

Vandalia, Ohio, August 26.-CUP) - Every man, woman and boy who toted a shotgun up to the firing line had an equal chance today as more than 900 entrants began firing in the Grand American Trapshooting Handicap. There was no such thing as favorlte - there never is -- in this blue ribbon event of the 39th Grand American Tournament which ends today.
 Never, since the event was inau- gurated In 1900, has a winner re- peated. And there was no reason to expect that tradition would be shattered today.
 The reason is that each year, as returning shooters improve, they arc placed further and further back from the targets. Distances range from 16 years for the novices to 25 for the topflight experts. Only once has the event been taken by a man firing from the 25-yard -linc-in 1883 by Walter Beaver of Berwyn, Pa, who broke 98 out of 100 targets.
 New Annie Oakley"
 It has never been won by woman but there was one on the line today who might take the grand prize. She was Mrs. Lcla Hall, goth century Annie Oakley" from Strasburg, Mo. Mrs. Hall earlier this week won the North American Women's Clay Tar get title for the fourth consecutive time. Last year she turned in 98 out of 100 possible hits from the 21 yard line, which would have been good enough for a first place tie from 1882 through 1886.
 Joe Hiestand, the Hillsboro, Ohio, farmer who set world record of 066 consecutive breaks this week, will have to shoot from the 25-yard line along with Phil Miller, French Lick, Indiana, winner of this years class "A" title.
 Youth will be represented by Rudy Echen, 15. the Kansas champion, who will shoot from g yards. More than $10,000 in prizes will be distributed, with the winner getting $l,000 If he or she is professional.
