Giants clubhouse at the Polo

Dispatches concerning the
American Davis Cup teams
chances in the challenge round
starting tomorrow Sunday night
in the United States) against the
Australians have huctuated from
deep pessimism to extreme opti-
mlSm the past month.
The most recent is fiat
prediction by Bill Talbert, United
States captain, that our team
will win the cup. 4 matches to /.
A more cautious statement
was made by 1t. Col. James A.
Bishop. new president of the
United States Lawn Tennis Asso-
citation. He ventured the opinion
that our team has the best
chance in the past three years
to win.
U. s. Needs Doubles Upset.
This probably is closer to the
facts. For while our teams form
has improved greatly the past
week, the Australians still must
be given the edge.SN
This is so because of .one ex-
tremely important item-unless
the biggest upset of the year in
tennis is to be registered, the
Australians will win the doubles.
Either combination of Ken Rose
wall-Lewis Hoad, United States
titleholderS, or Rex Hartwig-
Mervyn Rose, Wimbledon cham
pions, is immeasurably better
than any team we can field.
Tony Trabert and Vic Seixas
are not a good doubles team, and
the chances of their becoming
one is remote. Trabert has let
it be known in no uncertain
terms that he is unhappy with
the pairing.
Anchor Player Lacking.
Their games do not blend.
Neither man can serve as the
/ anchor player to keep the ball
! going when his partner is having
a bad streak. All the great
teams have had strong anchor
man-Van Ryn with Allison,
Bulge with Mako, Gledhill with
Vines, Lott with Doeg or Stoef-
! fen.
An Australian doubles victory
means we would have to take
three out of the four singles
matches. This could be done,
but the odds are against it.
Both Trabert and Seixas have
beaten Hoad and Rosewall in
singles several times the past
year. Seixas has beaten Hoad
the last six times, including
Wimbledon and Forest Hills.
Trabert easily routed Rosewall
at Forest Hills.
But this much must be re-
membered. The Australian whiz-
kids were so obviously over

Tale of Bad Beating by Noble
Rinqs No Bell With Easter

Rocky Marciano out of the
ring"
In Cleveland, Easter gave a
different account when told of
Sheehan's story. Luke said:
why, it wasn't like that at
all. Noble and I were boxing
down South, Oklahoma, I think,
on an exhibition tour. We were
just kind of playing around
without any gloves and I got the
best OF him. He got mad then
and grabbed me and threw me
down. I had my spikes on and
wasn't expecting it. He said,
I'll fight you,' but a policeman

Australians Have Definite Edoe
ToKeep Davis Cup This Week

tennised, particularly during
their American tour, that they
were only going through the mo-
tions. The spark and sparkle
had gone out of their games,
except in flashes.
This condition apparently has
been corrected. Recent tourna-
ment results indicate Hoad is
playing his best tennis, and Rose
wall also is improved.
Aussies Due to Be "Up".
Important as the Wimbledon
and United States championships
were, the young Australians
would not be up for them the
way they are for the Davis Cup
challenge round. We must not
forget the years when our play
ers regularly swept everything
before them at Wimbledon only
to be beaten by the French team
in the Davis Cup matches.
In addition these other fac
tors should be kept in mind when
evaluating the cup matches. The
Australians will be playing on
their own courts before a rabidly
partisan audience. They will
be going all-out to win. And,
matter of prime Importance,
they will have Harry Hopman
sitting beside the umpire'S stand
to advise them on every change
of court.
For young player, or even a
veteran, this is extremely valu-
able. Hopman, acknowledged to
be one of the keenest analysts in
the business, can advise a change
in tactics while the match is in
progress "a procedure strictly
forbidden in tournament play.
U. S. May Lose on Best Day.
Under these circumstances, for
Trabert and Seixas to win three
of the four singles contests will
be most difficult. Seixas may
snap out of his slump, play ex-
cellent tennis and still be
beaten. Trabert can continue his
fine recent play and yet fall short
of beating both his opponents.
Some people seem to overlook
that victory does not entirely
rest with how our men will play.
The Australians and particularly
Hoad. have the games to beat
Trabert and Seixas even on their
good days.
A final observation gives our
team "the best chance to win
in the last three years." but it
should be added the odds must
still be with the Australians.
Once again, this is because they
have outstripped us in doubles
play. Perhaps some day we will
take the lesson to heart and
begin building good doubles
teams once more,

student were approached directly
and Cert indirectly. Drake off,

the investigation. Bumbry had
disclosed that the Des Moines
man had mentioned to him $500

Drake to lose to Iowa State COL
lege last Tuesday by eight or 10

Cerf's backgrounds and whether
they would go along with a

Only one present-day Senator
got even a mention when stacked
up against the players of the
1920s and early 1930s who
brought Washington its three
American League pennants.
Mickey Vernon received a few
votes after winning the batting
championship last year for the
second time, but even Mickey
was showed under in the poll
for the first base position, col
lecting four votes. far behind
Joe Judge, the leader with II.
In fact, once past the outfield
there were no real contests. Joe
Cronin, the rt-fielding, hard
hitting shortstop who managed
the team when it won the pen
nant in 1888, almost was a unan-
imous choice. He earned 81 votes,
with the other one vote going
to Roger Peckinpaugh, who
starred in Washington's pennant
drives Of 1924 and 1925.
The other infielderS also were
natural choices, Bucky Harris at
second base, with nod toward
Buddy Myer, and Ossie Bluege
at third, and with another nod
for Cecil Travis. Myer got enough
votes to gain recognition as the
utility infielder.
Even at the catching position
those who remember Eddie Ain
smith weren't enough to put
their man ahead of Muddy Ruel,
who collected Is votes to Ain
smiths five.
Completing the team is a left
handed pitcher and, naturally
enough, that honor falls to Earl
Whitehill. With the club four
years, his work in only one of
