Riggs, 5abin Top
Only Fair LOT
OF Netmen
Wood Deemed Likely
Partner for MAXI
In Doubles Play
BY DREW MIDDLETON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK. April 7-Walter
Pate, the little man who BRAIN
waved the Davis Cup back to these
shores two years ago. has issued q
clarion call for volunteers to step
one pace to the fore and lend a
hand in retaining the elegant silver
bird bath.
Pate is the captain of the Davis
Cup team, which means he manages
it much in the manner Of fight
manager coddling a stable of Welter-
weights. His task which in 1887 and
1888 was just breeze is something
else again this year.
Don Bulge used to shuttle out on
the court and blow down all opposi-
ton. This simple method won the
cup from Great Britain in 1887 and
retained it against Australia last
year.
Bulge now is a professional and
the chances of keeping the trophy
depend very largely on what Pate
can stir up between now and
September. when foreign outfit,
probably Australia, will check into
Philadelphia for the challenge
round.
Slim Squad at Hand.
Pate, who developed Bulge, has
no star pupil on hand who won't
rattle around in Budge's brogans as
the Nations first singles player,
Nor has he a doubles combination
comparable to Bulge and Gene
Mako. the inspired trap drummer.
The list of possibilities runs some
thing like this:
/. Bobby Riggs.
2. Wayne Sabin.
3. Gene Mako.
a. Elwood Cooke.
5. Sidney B. Wood, jr.
6. Bitsy Grant.
Riggs and Sabin are the best bets
for the singles posts and Pate is
toying with the idea of teaming
Wood with Mako as a doubles COM
panion. Wood never has been as
good at singles as he was in 1881
when he won the Wimbledon title,
but Pate has an idea the New York
er's keen strategy and judgment
would team we'll with Mako's dura-
bility.
Riggs Needs Forcing Game.
These four form an able enough
combination, but one player, Riggs,
will have to improve if the team is
to beat Australia. Australia has
Jack Bromwich, probably the best
singles player in the world
Riggs and the United States Lawn
Tennis Association don't see eye to
eye in many matters, but there is
no doubt Bobby has the stuff of
which great players are made.
His main drawback. as a player
and gate attraction, is a defensive
style of play. Bulge, who is as
interested as ever in the cup, thinks
this will change. He is getting
stronger and heavier" Don told us
recently. He will develop forcing
game this year"
Cooke and Grant are prospects,
but little more. The former is COM
ing and Grant is slowly going. He
is game little guy, but gameness
is little use when the legs fade.
There are a few other possibilities
Joe Hunt, midshipman at An
napolis. is one. Pate has hopes of
shaking him out of his uniform for
the cup bouts, but no one knows if
he will be able to stay in top form
while sticking to the academy's
strict schedule.
Frank Kovacs, the unfettered
Westerner, is another Most of the
seers and soothsayers think highly
of him, higher than they do of
Sabin, who won the national indoor
title in breeze
So it will be up to Riggs. Sabin,
Wood, Mako and possibly Kovacs.

ORLANDO. Fla, April First
Baseman Jimmy Wasdell, modest
.243 hitter for his first 10 major
league tests as Washington sue
cessor to Zeke Bonura, today was
not being buried, but praised by
President Clark Griffith and Man.
ager Bucky Harris.
In fact, so lavish were Griffith and
Harris that a brand-new rumor was
given unusual credence. The tip is
out that Washington is interested
to the extent of buying or trading
from the Brooklyn Dodgers a %
year-old right-handed hitting first
baseman named Berthold Haas.
Those who were inclined to set
some store in the report did so
chiefly because of the psychological
bent of Griffith. When the old gent
begins to shower praise on a ball
player the recipient has been known
to quake and wonder what will be
the next stop.
In addition to the psychological
angle, there are other dovetailing
items. Wasdell is another left
overloaded with southpaws. Haas
is a right Wasdell has
failed to do well in the minors dur
ing the last two or three years and
Haas last season batted right down
to the final day for the Southern
Association stick title, finally fin
ishing second with 1897 average.
Camilli Blocks Haas Path.
The Dodgers don't need Haas. In
Dolph Camilli they have their
strongest hitter. Camilli is the reg
ular first baseman. The Dodgers,
like most other clubs. will carry only
six inflelders and, in addition to
Regulars Camilli, Pete Coscarart,
Leo Durocher and Cooky Lavagetto,
they plan to keep Tony Lazzeri and
Johnny Hudson.
This means that Haas is to be
sent out again. The Dodgers have
farmed him twice already. AS far
back as 1887 Bert was up with
Brooklyn gaining distinction by
making four hits in four straight
times at bat as pinch hitter. Three
of the blows were doubles.
This rumor is as unofficial as a
sneeze. Griffith last night fairly
bristled when it was suggested that
he was seeking another first base
man.
mo, sir" shifted the old gent, we
amt a-giving up on Wasdell. We
amt a-figgering on no trade {.
right now, anyway"
Practically Field Day.
Griffith did not let the matter
drop here. He raved at length over
Wasdell. He looked swell yesterday
against Brooklyn" cackled the Old
Fox. Did you see him get two
bases on balls against left-handed
pitcher? Imagine that. Why, It's
encouraging. And Bucky tells me
he has been looking fine all along"
Harris had been contacted few
minutes earlier. Bucky shared

BERLIN, June 3.-Czech passive

Neurath has had several long talks
with Hitler recently.
What measures were decided on
for an effort to win over the Czech
people to cooperation were not dis
closed but informed sources ad-
mitted something was pending.
Officials Not Greatly Concerned.
Officials declared they are not in
clined to take serious view of de-
velopments in Bohemia -Moravia
however.
One asserted Germany had given
the Czechs "a great deal of rope
in governing themselves and that
the three months since they were

fuence on some sections of the pop

News about the emigres is not
printed in newspapers but gets about
through clandestine pamphlets and
by word of mouth.

a special pass before any one, either
native or foreigner, can enter or

water. officials then considered try
ing to cut the stern Off, but appar-
emily decided first to try to pull the
vessel loose.
A cable attached to the salvage
ship Vigilant was fastened to the
Thetis' rudder. Another cable was
attached from the Vigilant to tug.
The two ships gradually increased
pressure on the cable until the great
gray fin of the Thetis rose higher
out of the water.
Cable Snapped.
When the Thetis had reached an
almost vertical position, much of her
265-foot length jutting up above the
l30 feet of water, the cable snapped.
The submarine dropped back into
her original position and slowly van
ished below the surface.
Tonight her great crippled hulk
lay at the bottom, her gear gently
tapping in running tide.
There were several theories as to
what caused the Thetis catastrophe.
One held by shipping circles was
that in making a speed dive she
might have encountered more than
one current-f1owing at different
speeds-beloW the surface.
Johnston said the submarine con-
ceivably could have struck wreck

know"
He said the submarine was tilted
at such an angle, however, and was
SO constructed that to cut a hole
through the projecting aft would
been of little advantage to the res
cue work.
Salvage Work Continues.
The work of the salvaging crew
continued after hope for the men
was abandoned. An official, detailed
investigation will be made into the
cause of the accident and into the
rescue attempts as well.
The personal side of the disaster
was tragic. This was the wedding
