SONS OF KERRY TO
 MEET McGRATH'S MEN

Danny Kerwin playing cap- tain) and Manager Red" Cum mings were well pleased with the practice game of the Sons of Kerry Monday night at the Mill Street Fairgrounds.
 Tomorrow night at the Wash ington Park field the Sons of Kerry will tangle with Tom McGrath,s Old Timers at 6 o'clock.
 Captain Kerwin has moved the batting order around somewhat in order to give the Kerry Club more punch at the plate. Kerwin says, although Imperial Laundry Bill Ladden and Casting Shop Tom Conley are fine fielders, their bat ting leaves much to be asked for. therefore, I'm dropping them down to 8th and 9th in the batting order in place of having them bat 3rd and 5th. Their places will bc taken by Joe Corcoran and Messy Shea, two of the leading hitters on the Kerry Club. If Conley and Ladden show improvement in their hitting, they return to their former places in the lineup.

STATES DAVIS CUTTERS
 SELECTED SOON
Riggs and Park CT Ex- pected to Be Two Singles
 Players Named
BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Rye, N. Y, Aug. lo.-tUP).-Now that the U. s. Davis cup squad has been announced, speculation began in earnest today as to what four men from that squad will defend the cup at the Merton Cricket club, Sept. 2-4, probably against Australia.
 The consensus of experts rere at the eastern grass courts champion ships gave the nod to Bobby Riggs of Chicago, Frankie Parker of Pasa- dena, Cal, Donalyd McNeill of Oklahoma. City and either Gene | Mako of los Angeles or Bryan "Bitsy" Grant of Atlanta. McNeill is a newcomer to international com petition.
 This is mere conjecture, because the quartet will not be named until 10 days before the challenge round. But the five above seem to have the best chances of the seven squad men invited to report for training at Merion on Aug. 21-or of any who may be invited to join the scuad.
 The other two men named yester- day by Walter Pate, chairman of the cup selection committee. were Sidney B. Wood of New York, vet eran internationalist, and Elwood Cooke of Portland, Ore, also an intentional rookie.
 It was generally expected that Riggs, Wimbledon champion who has the No. singles player with Don Budge in last years successful defense of the cup against Australia, will be the No. singles performer this time, since BuGge has turned professional. Pate believes right now that Riggs is his singles ace. Playboy Bobby has an unfortunate habit of dropping the opening sets even in matches with opponents not in his class. That's why pat warned him yesterday to warm up at least IS minutes before any important &C., tion.
 It was expected that Frankie Parker would get the Mo- 2 singles berth because of his showings this year and because of his improved forehand. Parker's latest triumph was at Seabright, where Riggs was knocked off by Frank Guernsey of Or do, Fla, in an early round
 Don McNeill was figured as 8 doubles partner with Parker. AL though Riggs and Elwood Cooke are Wimbledon doubles champions, Parker and McNeill have been per- forming brilliantly recently. They beat Riggs and Cooke and at Southampton. and Gene Mako and Wayne Cabin at Seabright. Sabin was not named to the squad.
 With such a set-up, the fourth man would be an alternate. And it remained to be seen whether Pate figures Grant would be more valu- able as possible singles substi- ute or Mako as doubles reliefer.

St. Patrick's
 Quoit League

The tournament attraction of the week came when Pete Fitzhenry tossed the first ringer of his career feat celebrated later in the eve- ming. Louie Hickox who threw three during the week previous failed to connect, but managed to win three games. Ed Conlan had a ringer up- side down.
 Although Ed Loftus and Jack De- laney had week off, they remain in top position with only a single week to go. This combination, &C., cording to present appearances will receive the trophy during the an- nual quoit league dinner, an occa- sion to take place at the Waterbury Recreation Rod and Gun club, on a date to be announced later. Other vacationists of the week include Harry Ryan, Secy. Frank Hardy, Ronald Daly, Jim Tyrrell and Jim Barrett. Several special match games are pending following the finais to take place on the Lyceum lanes on next Monday night.
 Joe Hench and Ed Conlan were late in getting started, due to an en- gagement down the street. Jim Brady, our treasurer, declares he would like very much to have all present next week in order that his annual report be made public. Joe Courtney served well as a pinch hit- ter, his team winning two games. Joe paired with Patsy Garvey. Bill Dwyer and son James are preparing to challenge any two qlloit-mer ir the ctiy and are especially anxious to meet up with Oscar Teubner and Jack Heating. Johnny Mitnick tossed with Jim Brady and won three games all by himself. Brady was of form. Those Fox street wonder boys were pushovers for our lads on Tuesday night. but desire to meet the Holy Name again on their own grounds. Joe Bowen has been ap- pointed to complete negotiations.

ing today at the Y. w. C. A.
Mr.. Street, in a prepared address,
did not refer to the report of Bur-
dett G. Lewis. director of the relief
investigation here, which criticized
the handling of relief. But Mr..

useful to public welfare admins

resolutions at today's meeting. These
were:
l. Urging increased relief appro-
priations for the public assistance
division.
g Elimination of "the arbitrary"
maximum amount to be given to
one family. Forty-eight dollars has
been suggested as the maximum.
3. Elimination of the 81. per cent
limitation for staff work.
4. Urge restoration of $4,000 to
