Sudden kayo Unlikely
AS Aursey, Kapi|ow
Fight Rubber Bout
By GEORGE Huber

Smuggy Hursey plans to knock
out Danny Kapilow again. Danny
doesn't plan to be knocked out and
they're going to argue about it to-
night in the fight ring at Grif1th
Stadium.
It's a 10-round middleweight re-
match of a bout held back in April
when Smuggy, rough young District
colored boy, stopped the New York
er so rapidly-41 seconds-that
spectators hardly had time to warm
up their chairs. 1t didn't figure to
end that way or so fast, hence the
rematch. It's rubber affair, Kapi-
low having taken an eight-round
nod over Hursey back in 1945.
That knockout. subject Danny
must be sick and tired of by now,
was discussed once more last night
as he awaited today's call. 1T was
just one Of those things" he ex-
planned for the ninty- -leventh time.
Il stuck out my chin and it was just
the right place for him. That's all
1t won't happen again. I'm not
going to run away from him next
time, but I'm not going to be foolish
again and make that mistake either
Record Favors Danny.
|"After all, he just doesn't figure
to knock me out that easily. I never
took a 10 count from anybody be-
fore; also never had a fight stopped
on me. 1t won't happen this time" :"
The record book bears out Danny
when he says that Smuggy doesn't
figure to chill him. Smuggy Is
known more as rough. tough Gus
toner who throws a lot of leather,
but who isn't particularly a killer.
Until he met Danny In April there
were surprisingly few kayoes on
his record. A few boys such as
Howie Brodt, Bobby Prior and
Jimmie Pettie-fellows you never
heard of and who aren't in Kapilow's
league-were stopped, but others
went the route.
But Hursey's new reputation as q
siugger-they're calling him zone
Punch" around the gym now-sits
well with him. It's just what he
needs to round out a good reputa-
ton and make him a drawing card

As Cup Defenders
By the Associated Press

SOUTH ORANGE, N. j., Aug. II.
What was going to be the crucial
tournament for all the Davis Cup
candidates starting at Newport, R. l.,
today probably will turn into good
practice session in preparation for
the nationals for most players-and
warm-up for the cup competition
for Jack Kramer and Ted Schroeder.
For barring any unforeseen disas-

seemed destined to carry the United
States burden In the cup competi-

After Schroeder, playing his best
tennis of the year, disposed of Gard

voigt's Strategy Excellent.
But where the District was strong
est on paper, from top man Bobby
Brownen to No. 6, Billy Griffin, they
were held to a 41a all split. 1t was
through the middle Of the team,
capably paired by Voigt, that the
winners posted the decisive points.
In the match that renewed a Dis
trict rivalry of long standing, Voigt
once again welded his mastery over
ex-pre Roland Mackenzie with a
2-and-1 triumph. Mackenzie, now
a Baltimore resident, couldn't con-
troll his long game and Voigt, also
a little off his form of late, was too
steady.

Top Ranking Tor Welsh
Looms After MA Net
Win Over Thackara

Barney Welsh not only had sweet
revenge on Jim Thackara and pol
ishing rights on the Middle Atlantic
singles trophy today, but the veteran
Rockville campaigner again looms
as Washington's No. l ranking ten
mis- player.
Seeded No. 2 in the Middle At
lantic because Of his recent defeat
in the final Of the District tourna-
ment by Thackara, the veteran cas-
lily turned the tables on the new
conner to local tennis yesterday at
Columbia Country Club, 6-1, 6-3,
|2-6, 60. ....
Welshs victory came as no sur
prise to more than 1000 spectators,
long accustomed to watching the
crafty Suburbanite diagnose op-
ponents' games and take them apart.
That's what he did with Thackaras.
Anne Gray, seeded No. in the
tournament, became the women's
singles champion when she defeated
Willie Herbert, 6-3, 6-3.
Singles Victors in Doubles.
Both Welsh and Mrs. Gray also
will figure in the doubles. welsh and
an even more seasoned campaigner,
Dooly Mitchell, advanced to the final
round in the mems doubles yester-
day by turning back Jim Farrin and
Alphonso Smith, 6-3. ST, 13,
and next week will meet the team
of Don Leavens and Dave johnson.
The latter duo defeated John Curtiss

Mrs. Gray teamed with Charlotte
Decker to defeat Libby Prince and
Priscilla Smith. Ga, SO, in the
women's doubles. In another semi
final round match, Mrs. Herbert and
Sosie GergoSion won over Eleanor
Shaw and Margaret Sweeney, S.
8--6, and today at 5 o'clock they
were to clash for the title.
Welsh played Thackara from the
baseline during much of yesterdays
duel and appeared to be the master
from the outset. Barney took q
SO lead in the first set and, after
Thackara scored, promptly came
back to end 1t. He broke Thackaras
service four times.
Welsh Improves Game.
Welsh was even more impressive
in the second set. althogh Thack-
ara won three games. The victor
scored three service aces, made
only II errors and scored 10 place
ments.
The lanky Thackara took a 81
lead in the third set, in which
Welsh seemed to be conserving his
energy, while forcing his opponent
to extend himself. Thackara won,
SO, but in the fourth and final set
Welsh came back and was in COM
nland all the way to win by love.
Mrs. Gray had to come from
behind in the first set, in which
Mrs. Herbert took 81 lead. The
champion then reeled off five
straight games and made it 10
wins in II games when she jumped
IN front, 81, in the second set.

BOSTON, Aug. 1.-THE mounting
misery of the Mats was heaped
higher today when Sid Hudson dis
closed he will be lost to the club for
an indefinite period due to a sore
shoulder. The towering right
handed pitcher has abandoned hope
of hurting in the immediate future
and will be X-rayed to determine
the source of soreness.
"It's useless for me to attempt to
pitch while my shoulder is sore,"
says Sid. Every pitch hurts and I
can't get anything on the ball. My
fast ball is laugh now and my
curve is hanging up in the air. I'm
not going to pitch again until I'm
satisfied my arm is 100 per cent all
right. 4
"The soreness seems to vanish
after a few days. I'll try pitching
q few minutes of batting practice
and it seems okay. There have been
days when I've felt I could fire my
fast one through a brick wall. But
when get in game and have to
put something on the ball there just
isn't anything there. o''lT'a roF
There isn't much sense going
along as I am now. I want to find
out what's wrong with my arm and
have it cured completely before I
try pitching again. I cans help the
club with a sore arm. I've tried and
it just hasn't worked out" tst
Poor in Last Three Months.
Hudson launched the season with
three successive victories, then in
jured his back. Following a three
week layof he returned to action,
but favored his back and as q result
developed a sore arm and shoulder.
He has won two games in the last
three months and one of those
triumphs was in q relief role.
Pitching doesn't represent the
Mats prime problem, however, for
in IL of their last II games and their
last 8 successfully they have failed
to muster over seven hits.
The Mats dropped to seventh place
yesterday when they split double
header with the Athletics at Phila-
delphia, succumbing 80, to the five
hit pitching of Joe Coleman before
capturing the nightcap, So, despite
fashioning only six hits of Jesse
