AUSTRALIANS
 FIGURED TO
 CROWD TANKS
Air of Mystery Surrounds Quist, Bromwich; Riggs,
 Budge, Mako Ready

Philadelphia, Aug. 30-OP)-The principals in the first Davis cur challenge round held in the United States since 1927 began arriving to- day at the Germantown Cricket Club for the three-day battle open- ing Saturday between Australia and the United States.
 And as they arrived-players, of- f1cials and eXperts-the word went out: Don't sell the Australians short"
 The Australians, regulars Adrian Quist and John Bromwich, Capt Harry Hopman and alternate Len Schwartz, arrived from Chestnut Hill, Mass, where Quist and Brom- wich were licked in straight sets in the national doubles final by the two men they will face nthe Davis cup doubles-Don Budge and Gene Mako.
 It had been whispered around that they tossed that match to the Americans to instill false confidence in the cup defenders.
 "Ihat was not so, said HOpman Our boys were levelling all the way. They had an off day and they suffered a natural let-down after having had so much tennis in pre- vious weeks"
 Budge and Mako will arrive today from New York. Bobby Riggs, the No. 2 singles player, and Joe Hunt spare, got here last night.
 Walter Pate, non-playing captain of the American team, was due in today to supervise his players first workout o nthe Germantown Cricket Club courts where in 1927, Frances "Three Musketeers" lifted the cut from the United States.
 The Australians seemed confident but were not talkative. In some quarters, it was believed that Brom- wich suffered recurrence of a muscle sprain in his thigh last Saturday and that might have slowed him up.

NEW ENCL
 AMATEUR OPENS
Clare, Grant, SoccOIi From Connecticut Bid for
 for Golf Crown

Rumford, R. l., Aug. 30-CJo)- A crack field of 42 New England amateurs started play today at Wannamoiset Country club in sec tional qualifying trials for the na- tional amateur golf championship.
 Seven players will qualify after two rounds of medal play for the title competition at Pittsburg next month. Two Boston veterans, Fran cis Ouimet and Jesse Guilford, have qualified automatically as previous winners.
 Play originally was scheduled for the Rhode Island Country club at West Harrington, but was shifted here because of the condition of the Nayatt course.
 Seventeen greater Boston anna teurs head the Massachusetts entry list. Against the Bay taters will be pitted a strong array of amateurs from other New England and out side states.
 Massachusetts favorites included Wilfred Crossley of Dedham, New England amateur champion; Joe Lynch of Canton, veteran of na- tional amateur competitions; Ted Bishop O. Auburndale and Mel Mer- ritt of Salem.
 Three Connecticut players expect ed to finish well up were Charles Clare of Orange and Babby Grant and Dom Soccoli of Wethersfeld.

WILLIAMS-MARCUS
 SHOW THURSDAY
Ellis and POlOwitzer Also on TurcOtte=HOuIihan
 UnderCard

More examples of nifty match making are prevalent this week in connection with the undercard of the Dick Turcotte-Danny Houlihan main go which may draw $500 fans to Randolph Gloves stadium on Thursday night. Mickey Williams, for instance, who made a fine im- pression in his firstshoWing in Wa terbury last Thursday is paired this week with the boy who stopped him three weeks ago, jumping Joey Marcus of Windsor Locks. Williams was leading when he walked into a Marcus Mary-Ann and a K. O. re- suited.
 Then there's a southpaw special featuring Bobby Ellis of New Bri- tain and Joe Polowitzer of Windsor Locks, both hard-hitting left-hand- CTS. Ellis, smarter of the pair, stopped Baby Face Morris of Dan- bury last week with a short, solid punch that many fans missed. A former right-hand seeker, Ellis has been turned around and will be set for Dick Turcotte before the summer is over.
 Looks Good
 Joe Ianotti, the New Havener, who beat the state bantam champ, Henry Davis with the greatest ease last week, has the Shirty Jackie Crimmins of Newark to contend with. Crimmins showed plenty of class before being outpointed by Williams last week but he is facing a hard puncher in Ianotti who can stop most of the 135 pounders he can hit.
 All in all, with such bouts lined up, and Turcotte ewith Houlihan on top, the show shapes up as an- other "matchmaker's dream" both in the ring and ct the box office, which is more important-to the promoter.

Alb Jenkins Has
 Racer Cleared For | Speed of OOM.P.H.
By BERNARD CRANDELL United Press Staff Correspondent

Indianapolis, Aug. 30. (UP)-Ab Jenkins of Salt Lake City-the Mormon Meteor"-is building a racing automobile capable of 375 to 400 miles an hour with which he hopes to return the world speed rec ord to the United States, it was learned today.
 Jenkins, working with crew of seven mechanics in small Indian apolis machine shop, said the car probably would be ready for run over the Bonneville salt flats by mid-September
 The record, held by Englishmen for nearly a decade, was raised to 345. .49 M.P.H. last Saturday by Capt. George E. T. Eyston of London. John Cobb, London fur broker, is out on the flats preparing to chal- lenge that mark.
 The last American to hold the land speed mark was the late Ray Keech who made 207.552 M.P.H. at Davtona Beach, Fla, in 1928.
 The late Major H. O. D. Segrave of England pushed it up to 231.362 in 1929, and since then it has been pushed higher and higher by his country men, Sir Malcolm Campbell and Capt. Eyston.
 Jenkins and his mechanics are now riveting the final streamlined plates on his giant racer which will be powered by special Curtiss- Wright motors.
 First I want to break all the dis tance speed records up to and in- cluding the 24-hour run," Jenkins said today. Then I'll switch the hull of the racer onto a longer frame, add another charged engine and shoot for 400 an hour"
 Off Balance
 The present machine has only one engine and the frame was con- structed off-balance to counteract the pressure on the right tires re- sulting from travelling counter clockwise on a 12-mile circular course which is used in tries for high average speeds. A section will be inserted in the body behind the cockpit to make room for the extra engine in the straightaway job.
 T hold all but five of the land records and I'm going after them with the best racer ever construct ed" said the gray-haired, retired building contractor.
 Alb said he expects to make 270 M.P.H. in the single motored car which was built by A. s. "Augie' Deusenberg, noted automobile en- gineer
 "The Englishman's thunderbolt weighs about six and one-half tons, '' Jenkins said, while my car weighs only three and half. His car has a wind resistance area of between 30 and 32 square feet. Mine has be- tween 21 and g.
 "Eyston's engines develop more horsepower but mine have less weight to push. He has 3,4O0 horse power. have 2,400.
 The ratios of weight and wind re- sistance to horse power give me a wide edge"

 Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion, boasted to friends here that with 6 few weeks training he could give Joe Louis whale of fight for four or five rounds. Jack is a and earns his living by refer eeing. Washington fans are won- dertng if the Senators will get Myril Hoag, speedy Yankee outflelder, in compensation for giving Pitcher Wesley Terrell his unconditional re- leaaD. Some sports writers insist there was an undercover deal be- tween the Senators and New York Yankees, but Clark Griffith, owner of the Washington club, says "Bosh".
 The G-men get their men, even on the baseball diamond. They de- feated the naval air station to retain the U. s. Government league cham pionship. Coach Ray Flaherty of the Washington Redskins and his star passer, Sammy Baugh, write Icolumns on Washington newspapers :. Ray says Sammy is the best player in the business and Sammy says Ray is the best coach in the business George Washington uni versity has gone in for night foot baal in a big way It will play its first four home games on Friday nights Baltimore baseball fans hear that Rogers Hornsby, former St. Louis Browns manager now pi- ioting Chattanooga in the Southern associa ton, will replace Buck Grouse as manager of the Orioles. General Manager Jack Ogden at Baltimore has verified that there will be a shift of some kind
 Clark Griffith has posted $500 to be paid to the winner of a 100-yard footrace between George Case, his outfielder, and Ben Chapman of the Boston Red Sox on Labor day.
 Walter Johnson has fild in his home town, Germantown. Md, for the Republican nomin2. Gion as Mont gomery county commissioner It looks like the end of the trail for two men who once were among the best hitters in baseball-Goose Cos lin and Al Simmons of the Senators .. Reliable reports say neither will be offered contract next year.
 The word has got around to watch Dick Tuckey, former Manhattan backfield ace, when he plays for the Redskins this fall. Tn practice he has shown up better than the highly touted George Karamatic, former Gonzaga star Washington is so football minded that 5000 paid to watch the Redskins practice the other day. $1.10 for seats, 55 cents for standing room.

New York, Aug. 30-CUP)-NeWs item from Washington, D. C.: Jack Johnson, former heavyweight cham pion, is boasting to friends here that he could give Joe Louis whale of a fight for four or five rounds. Johnson is 61.
 Last night I dreamed that this took place, and that I was at the ringside sending a blow-by- blow de- scription. It was held in Madison Square Garden bowl before a crowd of 2,487 composed of Johnson's rela- tives who had been summoned to the ringside by his family physician when papers for the fight were signed, and the men who had sold Jack his life insurance.
 Wearing a shawl about his shoul- ders Johnson was brought down the aisle in a wheel chair and helped into the ring by two of his grand children who were to serve as his seconds. Out of respect to his age all the spectators stood until he was comfortably seated in his corner.
 Louis came in on tiptoe so as not to disturb the now dozing Johnson. Jack Blackburn, Louis trainer, dis tributed pamphlets to the working press. They bore this caption:
