their visits less frequent, could
you engage the cooperation of
the family doctor to tell daughter
that your health does not permit
these daily visits? He certainly
would not be trif1ing with the
truth, as you are obviously nervous
and need more quiet.
OF course, you could tell your
daughter yourself, but she'd prob
ably pay more attention If the
warning came officially. Her in
tentions undoubtedly are good;
she may feel you enjoy having
the youngsters around every day,
and a gentle hint may be enough
to make her see the light.
Youth is thoughtless, but not
hard. Children get used to being
dependent on Nom for everything,
and after marriage they continue
to return to the maternal roof,

realizing that the years are catch

American tennis fans preparing
to polish up a returned Davis Cup
on the basis of play at Wimbledon
and Forest Hills should stop, look
and remember past experiences.
Davis Cup play and champion
ship play, as important indi-
vidually as the latter is, are en-
tirely different. Those who re-
member the futile attempts of Bill
Tilden, George Lott, Wilmer Alli-
son, John Van Ryn, Ellsworth
Vines. Sidney Wood and Frank
Shields to win back the Davis
Cup from the French during the
year from 1927 through 1882, will
pause before celebrating a victory
yet to be won. In three of those
years. 1930-31-32, Tilden, Wood
and Vines walked off with the
English title. Not only that but
Allison was a finalist in 1880, as
was Shields in 1881.
But a few weeks later in 1881,
the English beat us to gain the
challenge round against France
and our team returned home with
out the cup.
Two Differences in Play.
There are two outstanding diff

|ferences between Davis Cup play
and title tournament play. In
the former, it is possible for a
player to point himself for two top
singles matches, without the wear
and tear of weeks play ahead.
Players like Heuri Cochet and
Jean Borotra were particularly
good at the single inspirational
effort.
The second factor is the right
of a Davis Cup captain, sitting
by the umpire's chair, to advise

servers at Forest Hills last year
noted how much more effective

tions between games from a for
mer great Harry Hopman. was
in the challenge contests than in
the championships.
Doubles Another Question.
Still third consideration is
the almost undisputed supremacy
|of the Australians in doubles play.
Unless all signs fail. they will
enter the challenge round with
the doubles virtually conceded to
them. None of the teams we have
so far turned up, or are likely to
turn up, will enter the tandem bat
tie other than definite underdogs.
Even in the days when Tilden
and Little Bill Johnston were
sweeping all before them in
singles, the Australians fought our
best American teams to stand
still. And even later when Don
Bulge and Bobby Riggs. and then
Frank Kramer and Ted Schroeder
were manhandling the Aussies IN
singles, they still came up with
doubles victories.
Those fortunate enough to have
seen the Frank Sedgman-Mc-
Gregor and Mervyn Rose-Don
Candy in the national finals con-
test last Sunday will understand
why the Australians are pro-
Ihibitive favorites to win the
doubles point. They play the
tgame with a zest, a smothnesS and
knowledge that Americans, more
prone to concentrate on singles
lido not possess. And the doubles
victory may well be the deciding
lone in the coming challenge
matches.

Gowdy Alters the Script.
Gowdy, first ball player to enlist
in World War 1, is sensitive about
the tripping lover -the-mask Incl
dent. With one out and nobody
on base in that 18th inning, Ruel
lifted a foul pop. Gowdy whipped
off his mask and headed for the
ball. En- route he tripped over
the mask and missed the ball.
A photographer had asked
Gowdy to pose with mask and
the bespectacled ex-Army sergeant
refused. He is sensitive about the
incident, so much so that during
the reactment he refused to wear
"a mask and used a bat as an i'm
pedlment against his catching the
foul that gave Ruel another strike
which he turned into a double.
Ironically. perhaps, Gowdy now
