Bremen Put The Wood" to Cops by 16-1

After a scored run in the very fist inning. Waterbury Police base ball team organized at no expense to the management, were unable .e score thereafter; as the Fire Dept. diamond stars of five, 10, 20 and 40 years ago took the Cops flor a ride" with 16-1 final tally at Municipal Stadium Sunday after noon.
 The game was for the benefit of the Cancer Fund, and was wit messed by some two hundred fans.
 Murder, He Says
 Four runs in the first inning and seven more in the third sent the Cops starting pitcher, Jack Brickel, to the cooler, while Manager Joe Bagley, Red Burns and Paul Dean Guglielmo were no mystery to the Smokes thereafter Modest Mike Powers and Stephen Boroway were the ED sluggers, while Cheese" Monaghan for the Cops got away with his life and single of Red" Delaney, who allowed the Flatfeet but three hits. thereby earning the lifetime gratitude of Smoke Joe Kelly who would rather see the Firemen beat the Cops at baseball than have a box seat for all the World Series games next October.

South Orange, N. J., July 1-(UP) The U. s. Davis Cup squad had shown today that Captain Walter Pate knew what he was talking about when he said Mexico wouldn't be much to beat, and the way the Yankee clubbers did it hadn't help ed Pan-American relations, either.
 The Mexicans were so steamed up over Pate's tactless remark that they rusted their valves and really were only unreasonable facsimiles of top-flight tennis players when the matches finally got under way. They blew the duke with moustache when, even at their best, they would have been able to make only fair fight of it.
 For this was red-hot Amerlcan team, no matter what their temper- ature after they beat the European team in the final step toward De- cember duel win Australia for thI battered silver mug which causes all the fuss. It was no mean feat the way longpants Billy Talbert and gangling Gardnar Mulloy sailed through the doubles in straight sets.
 Others Coming Up
 And it's typical of the surplus ma terial situation in American net circles when Pate announces that this may not be his best doubles team. Talbert and Mulloy are the national doubles champions, too, which shows how tough the com- petition is going to be for final places when shots are matched with the boys down under.
 For coming up along the outside rail is another tWo-time national doubles team which may put the Talbert-Mulloy combine in the shade. That's Jack Cramer, current ly taking his Jumps in England be- cause of hand blisters. and bull- shouldered Ted Schroeder, former singles title holder.
 When Kramer gets back he and Schroeder may prove that they are better than Talbert and Mulloy," Pate said.
 Which means that the only man certain of spot on the American team is Frankie Parker of Los An- geles, tWo-time national singles king. The golden boy definitely is in, and you can take that from Pate
 His forehand tanot1er new one for Frankie now is an aggressive and well-controlled shot," Pate praised Parker. Nobody realizes what great player he really is be- cause he is not spectacular. He makes it look easy because he is so graceful but Frankie is lot of ten- his player
 It could be great year for the persevering Parker, who tried 13 years before crashing through to the 1 singles crown and then repeated last season. Because on his current form, Parker will be tough to stop again in the nationals-and in the Davis Cup challenger round.
 A victory in the cup matches would be his greatest payoff. For it was Parker who was defeated by John Bromwich in the final match in 1889 when Australia took the silverware by to 2 count. Brom- Wich won't find 1t so easy this time.

What with the currently sizzling sixth place Philadelphia club of the National League to make its only Connecticut showing Friday after noon at Municipal stadium (4:30) more than passing interest will be attached to Manager Ben Chapman, already labeled a miracle" man by some enthusiasts because of the surge toward first division his club has made; since General Manager H erb Pennock announced this month that Chapman would be the manager of the Phillies' next year, too.
 Ben likes to pitch; in fact tried it last summer right here in Wa terbury but got his ears pinned back by the Brasscos; who also beat the Yankees and Dodgers within 4 days; so Chapman shouldn't feel too bad. It was as a pitcher that Ben got his biggest baseball thrill Here's how he tells it:
