Australia Wouldn't Stond
Stor Tourney Pro

At Forest Hills Brookes and Wild
ing both whipped Dick Williams,
and both lost to the flame-haired
slugger, Maurice McLoughlin in the
singles. The doubles point won the
cup, Brookes and Wilding defeating
Mclaughlin and Tommy Bundy in
straight sets, 6-3, 8-6, 81.
Australia made one successful de-
fense, against England, in 1915. She
never won again, for the rise OF
Gerald Patterson and big Jim An
derson down under conceded with
the rise in this country of little Will
Johnston and large Will Tilden, who
between them licked the platter
clean until the four musketeers OF
France, Lacoste, Cochet, Borotra
and Brugnon came bouncing over
the horizon.
It's been a long time between
drinks out of Davis's cup for Aus
tralia-24 years. No country in the
world takes tennis-and especially
the pursuit of the grail-more Sc
riously. The man who turned pro
in Australia probably would be
hanged for high treason from the
highest masthead in Sydney Harbor
If he could have helped to win the
cup by staying pure.
American players never have al
lowed this consideration to bother
them. Neither has F.. John Perry,
the pride and prop of England. But
the Australians want that silver
ware badly. Some one should tell
them 1t holds only quarts
Since they want it so much I feel
pretty sure they will get it-by three
points to two or four points to one.
Cap'n Pate says that the American
boys think they'll be licked. and I

In much the same spirit the two

II of the major lotteries of golt

Ol lHe MAYOR lOlleTleS Oh SOll
Tunder way today at Indian
Spring, where three men are to
qualify late this afternoon from
this sector for the Professional
Golfers Association championship.
With three or four exceptions, the
top golfers of the Middle Atlantic
section of the P. G., A., have en-
tered the tourney, where fame and
perhaps fortune may come to one
of them-if he manages to get
along pretty we'll in the champion
ship near Flushing. Long Island,
next month. The thing is big
lottery because only three men can
qualify out of "a or 25 entries. And
it isn't always the best golfer or
golfers who qualify in such short
test as the 36-hole route which the
pros played today.
You don't need to be told about
these sectional qualifying rounds;
how Johnny Bulla, who did all right
in the recent open championship,
was fourth alternate in his district;
and how Tony Manero got into the
1886 open on playoff, and then
won the championship. These
things are strictly lotteries.
One bad hole can toss good
man out on his ear, to wait for
full year until another champion
ship; and maybe another failure
And at best the winning years Of
top golfer aren't too long.
Good men to watch today as they
struggled for three places were Cliff
Spencer, the long hitter from Beav-
er Dam, paired with Allen Burton
of Army Navy; Leo Walper, paired
with Johnny Bass: Erie Ball, the
dandy swinger from Charlottesville,
paired with Ralph Beach; Andy
Gibson, Maryland champ, paired
with Bob Barnett.
But it's too bad that Witty Cox
Al Houghton and Lewis WorSham
aren't in there pitching. 1t would
be a better tournament with these
men strutting their stuff
Women in Semi Final.
Replete with surprises over the
first two rounds, that District
women's championship at Columbia
would be unusual if it didn't turn up
with another upset today. It's been
nothing but a series of surprises
since Monday, but the biggest of
them all came yesterday as Betty P.
Meckley, thrice District champion,
fell before determined Mrs. Myron
Davy by and 4.
Betty confessed after the match
that it was her biggest losing margin.
But Mrs. Davy played well. At the
end, after she came out of trap
dead to the hole to win the 14th and
close the match, she had par in for
IT. That isn't so bad in women's
golf.
Here is the way they faced today
in the championship flight semi
final: Mrs. Myron Davy, Congress
sional VS.. Marion Brown, Manor
(the defending champ; Mrs. Hume
Peabody, Army Navy, VS.. Mrs. Leo
Walper, Capital.

may be some upsets today. They've
