Davis Cuppers New
To This Country.
By the kssociotsd Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-Two men,
bers Of the Australian Davis Cup
team which will challenge America
for the international tennis trophy
this week end at Forest Hills are
newcomers to this country, players
who rose to prominence in their
own land while the war was in
progress.
One Of them, Dinny Pals, the
present Australian champion, will
share the singles assignments with
veteran Jack Bromwich, as he did
In the disastrous SO rout by the
Americans at Melbourne last Decem-
ber. The other, Colin Long, who
will pair with Bromwich in doubles,
was a member of the '46 Aussie
team, but did not get to play.
Both Pals and Long are on the
stocky side, as indeed have been
most Of Australias best players, for
some strange reason. Australia is
full Of men who have to stoop, to
get in their living rooms, but they
don't seem to go in for tennis.
Pals Is Picture Player.
Pals is a real picture" player, If
there ever was one. They say he
modelled his game after that OF Jack
Crawford. the best of all the Aussie
players, and he probably did. Both
his forehand and backhand are
beautiful fiat" strokes that whip
the ball over the net with inches to
spare, and his backhand down the
line" is, in particular, something to
gawk at.
He has q fine service with lots
of spin-much better than Brom-
wick's-and he can sustain a rally
practically indefinitely, firing the
ball from one corner to the other.
The only thing is that Dinny, except
against his own countrymen, doesn't
seem to win. The othe tennis play
ers, sitting around, discuss it a lot.
Not only did Jack Kramer beat
him soundly on the opening Of the
Davis Cup matches at Melbourne,
but Gardnar Mulloy took over as
substitute on the third day and
gave Dinny a similar threshing.
Then after the cup matches ended,
Mulloy and Dinny went on an ex-
hibition tour and the tall star from
Miami beat him something like
16 out of IT.
Failed at Wimbledon.
Again Dinny failed to get any
where in this summers Wimbledon
championships, and in the Davis
Cup interzone final. at Montreal
two weeks ago he caught lacing
from Jarsolav Drobny, the Czech
ace. Bromwich, on the other hand,
gave Drobny a going over, and on
the strength Of that victory must
be considered, the Aussies' No. l
player in the coming challenge
round. Il
Long is a good doubles player
with q smashing overhead game.
He is sandy-haired, has enough
forearms, and wears horned-rimmed
glasses. The Aussies came near
choosing him for the doubles in
stead of Adrian Quist in the cup
tie at Melbourne, and wished later
that they had.
Geof Brown, baby of the Austral-
ian squad, employs a two-handed
forehand like Bromwich and has a
terrific first service, when he can
setait in.s He is rather dim hope
for the future something like Bob
Falkenburg on the American side.

University of Maryland's boxing
team boasts a college counterpart
Of Rocky Graziano, world middle
weight champ, in 130-pound An
drew j. Quattrocchi. He looks and
fights like Rockaby Rocky, his nick
name to teammates is Rocky, and
ne comes from Tenth avenue in New
York. In five fights last year he won
four on kayoes, and the fifth man
he floored frequently.
Despiteathis resemhlanee~to Gfa-
zianoy Quattroc cI1f wants no. part
of pro fight career. He's majoring
in physical education and plans to
be ascoach. Hes was recommended
to Boxing Coach Heinie Milier by
Sgd Fishel, who used to handle a
number of fighters around Wash
ington and who now is an interior
decorator in Jacksonville, N. G.
Marty Gallagher, Georgetown
boxing coach, has a good idea-an-
local college boxing double-headers.
Georgetown VS.. Maryland, and
Catholic U. VS.. American u, or
maybe the other way around. And
then a month later reverse the line
up, and another month later mix
them up again so that eventually
everybody meets everybody else.
Would pack the Armory, Marty pre-
diets.
That pretty blond who regularly
attends Georgetown football prac-
tices is Jackie Antoine, wife of
George Antoine, one of Mush Du-
bofsky's big handsome tackles. In
case the name isn't familiar, he was
George Antonovsky last year, but
had the name legally changed this
summer.
One way to beat the Washington
heat is to get up early in the morn
ing, and that's what football play
ers at the University of Maryland
must do starting next week. Drills
open Monday and they will be at
$50 am. They'll get the sun in the
afternoon, though, with pm. drills
at $3.50 daily.
It's just more of the big doings
that Jim Tatum iS introducing at
College Park. Early morning prac-
tices, secret drills behind newly
erected fence, and flying to all out
of-town games, even down to
Blacksburg, Va. The recently an
nounced plans for that flying foot
ball team spoil Heinie Miller's plan
to have his boxers as the first Mary
land team to take to the air. He's
taking his boys by air to New
Orleans for their Sugar Bowl en-
gagement late in December, but by
that time the footballers will be
experienced birdmen with five trips

Schroeder Wins No. 2 Ranking
Above Parker After Heated Row

at Melbourne even though Pate had
asked him to do so.
Didn't Relish Remarks.
IT could have forced him to play,
but I didn't" the cup captain said,
From his remarks, it could have
been inferred that Pate had not
exactly relished some of the things
Parker said about purely personal
preference" when Pate chose
Schroeder to play in the cup tie in
stead of Parker.
Each time Pate or Hall or Myrick
rose and told of Schroeder's con-
tribution to tennis history, one or
another member of the ranking
committee followed him with a de-
tailed set of reasons why Ted had
not been ranked.
There was insufficient data" on
him, they explained, and he had not
played in the National Champion
ships at Forest Hills. They had,
furthermore, made their rankings
before the Davis Cup matches were
played.
Efforts by President Holcombe
Ward to settle the issue, first by a
voice vote and then by show of
hands, proved futile. Only delegates
were entitled to vote, and there were
some ringers. Finally the ranking
committee insisted THAT the voting
be by proxy, on written ballots, and
the boys got out their pencils and
stabbed them at the sheets.
Result Made Unanimous.
After the result was announced
President Ward suggested that it be
made unanimous for the record. and
this was done. though with obvious
lack of enthusiasm on the part of
the defeated delegates.
AS the result of today's action, the
nations first 10 now will go into
the record book for 1916 in this
order: Jack Kramer, Schroeder
parker, Tom Brown, Gardnar Mulloy
Bill Talbert, Don McNeill, Bob
Falkenburg. Edward Moylan and
Francisco Segura. Seymour Green

Speculation Over Staff.
Confirmation of Tatum's appoint

leads to speculation as to his ad-

The only assistant Tatum will

NEW YORK, Jan. 18.-Davis Cup
Hero Ted Schroeder won his No. 2
ranking among the Nations tennis
players today, knocking Frankie
Parker out of that coveted spot, but
not until he had stirred up row
that shook the dignifed United
States Lawn Tennis Association
right down to it's arches.
Members of the ranking commit
tee, who did not think Schroeder
should be ranked at all, refused to
be high-pressured. They barred their
teeth and fought back like every
thing and when the proxy vote
finally was counted, after an hours
oratory, it was found that Ted had
scraped through by the narrow mar
gin of 20,825 units to 1908.
Such monuments of the court
world as former association presi-
dents Walter Merrill Hall and Julian

der's elevation, learned to their sur
prise that a tennis ranker whose
recommendations are spurned is q

Committee Member Hits Pate.
Before it was over William P
Rowland of Philadelphia, member
of the ranking committee, had ac-
cused Pate of indulging in a little
flag-waving in his enthusiasm for
Schroeder.
Pate, in addition to detailing why
Schroeder, on sheer tennis ability
deserved to rank above Parker, had
mentioned the coast stars long and
distinguished service record. This
nearly proved costly mistake. Al
least one delegate, Wilmer Allison
of Texas, didn't like that feature OF
Pate's address. He cast his votes
against tampering with the COM
mittee's ranking.
j Pate also expressed the opinion
that Schroeder had played as much
tennis as Parker during the last
year and demonstrated he wa:
"Parker's complete master" He also
pointed out that Parker had played

berg might like to finish his major
league career in his native New York

While not specifying that the
Bronx belter's outright sale to the
Pirates was an outgrowth OF an
interview in the Sporting News in
which the writer limited that Hank
would ask a salary OF $4,000 for
1947 and would prefer to finish his
career in a Yankee uniform, Briggs
said in a statement "in the light
Of recent happenings, it was felt
that q change Of scenery might
prove highly beneficial to Player
Henry Greenberg and the Detroit
club"
Record Is Praised.
"The elimination was the out
right assignment Of his contract to

tional League" the statement con-
tinued.
"Greenberg, over his entire career
has performed well for Detroit and
the good wishes Of the club and its
