Whitcombe and by ALI Padgham. a

Although the Whitccmbes have

TINS Is Just q tlp-dont I be surprised
if the battle for possession of the
fine old silver trophy doesn't go
right down to the doubles match.
As I see it-With my ears still TO
the ground-it will be Australia VS..
the United States in the challenge
round. Bulge should win both his
singles matches, but our No. 2 sim
giles player, Whomever he may be,
seems destined to lose both of his.
That would make the issue depend
upon the outcome of the doubles
match, with Quist giving the Au-
stralian side the edge. And just
as Bulge is without peer in singles,
50 is the curly haired Quist the
master doubles player. The courts
of the world haven't seen his equal
in doubles since George CShirt
Tails) Lott turned professional and
disappeared from sight.
Being a patriotic soul, who thinks
this country can ill afford to lose
the Davis cup, would hate to see
Bulge and Mako in there with
the Australians when all the chips
were down. Bulge would hold up
his end, all right, but Mako-Well,

Major league baseball teams will
swing back into action today after
a three day layoff for the All-Star
game. The New York Yankees and
the Cleveland Indians will continue
their fight for the lead in the
American League and three Nation
al League teams will launch new
campaigns to oVertake the New
York Giants.
CleVeland'S double defeat on July
by the Detroit Tigers was a stun
ming blow to the pennant hopes of
the Indians. Coming as il did while
the Yankees are in the midst of
their greatest squirt of the season,
it emphasized once more CleVelands
failing of the past-inability to win
when the pressure is on.
But the luck OF the schedule has
come to the aid of the Indians
Cleveland will have a chance to pull
out of its nosedive against the Gel
larite st. Louis Browns while the
Yanks have to battle the Boston
Red Sox, who are still very much in
the pennant race.
Despite the fact the Giants have
pulled away to a four game lead
the race in the National League is
far from over.
Pittsburgh has been winning
steadily, the Cubs are only six games
back and Cincinnati, in a slump,
is expected TO come back strong
this week.
