U. 5. Davis Cup Hopes
Seen Up TO Victory in
Both Singles Today
By the Associated Press

| FOREST HILLS, N. Y. Aug
I26.-Tennis hotshots of Australia
and the United States tear into
each other in the opening singles
matches of the Davis Cup chal-
lenge round here today and the
issue may be all but decided by
the time the sun goes down.
The first tussle this afternoon
sends Wimbledon Champion Tee

singles entry. against Billy Sidwell
something of a surprise starter fol
the Australians.
Following their match, United
States Champion Richard Pan-
cho) Gonzales will take the court
against 23-year-old Frank Sedg-
man, Australia's vastly improved
singles titleholoer.
Sedsmansis the key man in thu
Aussie.s hopes pf yecspturing TIL
hand dSdmss silver trophy which
they lost to the Americans ir
1916 and tried unsuccessfully tt
take back the past two years. s.
Il Sedgman can turn back tht
unpredictable Gonzales today, THU
there is every reason to believe hi
might do the same with Schroeder
when the singles pairings are re.
versed for Sundays windup.
Australia must be considered the
top dog in the lone doubles en-
counter tomorrow. since its rep
resentatives dominated the finals
of our own national double,
championships only few days
ago.
But if the Americans come out
on top in both of the opening
singles battles, the Aussies might
as well turn their thoughts to next
year or concentrate on the United
States singles championships
starting at Forest Hills on Mon
day.
In the opinion of most OBJ
servers, if the challengers can't
manage to grab one Of the flrst
two singles matches, their chances
Of winning both of the last two
even if they should take the dou-
bles-are slim indeed.
On the other hand, if the Amer
leans should find themselves upset
in both of today's matches, they
might as well kiss the cup good-by.
With good weather. a crowd Of
around 10000 is expected to watch
today's proceedings from the big
horseshoe stadium at the West
Side Tennis Club. And If the out
come remains to be decided on
Sunday, the chances are the club
officials will hang out the SRO

Attorney John Webster filed pa.

Deaton seeks to get the board

the court to reduce a sentence il

Deaton originally was given q
suspended sentence by Judge
Richmond B. Keech, who ex-
pressed sympathy for the man
and ordered him hospitalized at a
Federal narcotics addict institu-
