Ted Schroeder Defeats
Dinny Pals For Title
Victory Cline hes The
Davis Cup For U. S.
Tennis Team

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, Sept. i.
-P-Ted Shredder clinched the
Davis Cup for the United States
by defeating Dinny Pals of Aus
~tralia, 6-3, S-6, 4-6, Gil, 1913. in
the first of today's two concluding
singles matchs at Forest Hills.
His victory made the count 81
for the defenders.
Schroeder won out only. after
a terrific tussle that lasted just
over three hours and which sup
piled the 5000. spectators with
enough tennis thrills to last them
a lifetime. Once in the final set
Pals was only one point away
from victory and in the second
set, which he. lost, he threw
away five set points.
The hard-earned triumph rele-
gated the concluding singles
match between Jack Kramer OF
the U. S. and John Bromwich of
Australia to the nature of an ex-
hibition, as an Aussie win could
not alter the outcome.
Schroeder played much OF the
match b~are-footed, having shuck-
ed his shoes and socks late in
the second set after he had fallen
heavily several times. In the final
set, with Pals leading 4-3, the
American put on a set of spiked
shoes and vas much more sure
footed in the deciding games.
The final set went to Sail with
out a service break, though Pals
came within a point of breaking
Schroeder in the 18th. The vital
18th game which saw Schroeder
crack Pals delivery after it Lad
been deuced four times had the
crowd standing and yelling. Pals
just barely missed a hard drive
down the sideline to lose the de-
Gliding point.
Then, with victory in his grasp,
Schroeder didn't falter. He ripped
his service across with the loss
of only n point as he rifled one
clean C and smacked another
that Pals barely touched.
