Aussies and Swedes Play
Davis Cup Singles Today
By the Assoeioted Press

RYE, N. Y, Aug. 11.-Australia
faced Sweden-the final stumbl-
ing block in it's march to the
challenge round-in the interZone
final of the Davis Cup competi-
ton today.
Two singles were slated for the
opening session, with doubles to-
morrow and the two remaining
singles tests Sunday. In addition.
there will be a singles exhibition
tomorrow pitting Ken McGregor
of Australia against Aake Ella
son of Sweden.
The AusSieS, coached by Harry
Hopman, are heavily favored to
sweep through the matches and
thus gain the right to challenge
the defending United States forces
at Forest Hills August 25, 26 and
27.
Sedgman Meets Bergelin.
The top men on each team
Frank Sedgman for the Aus
tralianS and Lennart Bergelin for
Sweden-have been drawn to
meet in the first singles match,
scheduled for pm. (EDT. The
second match pitted the veteran
John Bromwich against Torsten
JohanSSon.
Hopman originally intended to
use Bromwich only in doubles, but
the 20-year-old McGregor did not
live up to expectations.
In tomorrows doubles, it will be
Bergelin and Johansson against
Bromwich and Sedgman. In the
final singles matches Sunday, the
opening pairings will be reversed
with Bromwich taking on Bergelin
and edgman clashing with
JohanSSon.
Aussies FavOrites.
The Swedish team has been i'm
pressive, winning the European
zone title with no trouble. Still,
experts at the WeStchester Coun-
try Club, site of the matches, agree
that the Aussies should have no
difficulty wrapping it up, perhaps
even in the first three matches.
The last time Australia won the
cup was 1889 when Bromwich and
Adrian Quist teamed to take it at
the Merton Cricket Club. Since
then, the only Australian triumph
came in the doubles last year when
Bromwich and Bill Sidwell beat
Bill Talbert and Gardnar Mulloy.

even at night. We're taking almost
all of our fish on streamer flies,
and so far a black and yellow
bucktail tied on No. 2 Jamison
barbleSS hook has proved superior.
Next to that comes a brown deer
hair fly tied by Don Gapen, which
he calls a mud minnow. The fish
are finicky, coming from behind
and eyeing the streamer for some
time before making up their
minds whether they want it or
not. If they do, they either take
it with a lunge. or just idle up to
it. 1t is exciting to see every move
ment in the quiet, crystal-clear
water, and we've lost more than
one keeper fish by striking too
soon. We return all but a very few
fish to the water.
Last winter, we tied up some of
these streamers using the gantron
fiber for body material, intending
them for late evening, early morn
ing and on dark days. The black
and yellow buck which has proved
so successful for Bill Jr. is one OF
them and has a green gantror
body ribbed with silver tinsel and
red tail. 1t is surprising that thi;
fly has produced best during

Does the Low Soy:
"Once q Drunkord,
Aiwuys q Drunkurd?"

A bookkeeper got into the habit
Of taking a few drinks every night
before dinner. Gradually the habit
became worse and worse, until his
wife found it difficult to live with
him. One day, after particularly
bad binge, the man solemnly vowed
never to take another drink" For
six long months he kept his oath
to the letter. But his wife lived in
constant fear that he would back
slide. Finally she filed suit for di-
vorce charging her husband with
''habitual intoxication." She said:
"Once drunkard, always drunk
ard!" However, the court disagreed
with this theory and refused to
grant a divorce decree. The judge
said that, since the man was max
ing a sincere effort to overcome his
weakness, his wife should stay and
help him in his struggle.

If o Doctor Gets Sick,
Is He Relieved of Responsibility
Toward His Patients?

A sick woman went to a special
list, who sent her to a hospital for
treatment. Soon afterwards, the
specialist himself became sick and
decided to go away for a rest. Be.
fore leaving, he notified a substi-
tute to take over the woman's case.
However, he didn't bother to tell
the patient of the change or even
that he was going away. Unfortu.
nately the substitute was not as ex.
perienced doctor, and his treat
ment delayed the woman's recov-
cry unnecessarily. Later she sued
the specialist for damages, charg.
ing him with Sinking his respon-
sibility toward her. The specialist
defended himself on the ground OF
his own sickness, but the court said
that was no excuse and held him
liable. The judge said that, if a
doctor can't take care of patient.
he should at least say so-and let
the patient decide upon substitute.
