Two Tennis Leaders
GiyeU. 5. Team $3.50
Chance for Davis Cup
By ihs Asseeiated Press, ]

SOUTH ORANGE, N. j.. Aug.
9.-America has a $3.50 chance
Of recapturing the Davis Cup
from Australia next December
despite the recent tennis re-
verses, two of the sports leading
figures agreed today.
One of them was Harry Hop
man, willy captain of the Aus
| tralian team which produced an
all-Australian final in the East
ern grass courts championship
here yesterday. Lew Hoad won
the title over his teammate, Ken
Rosewall, 6-3, 6-4. 6-3.
| The other was Alrick Man, jr.
Of Forest Hills, chairman of the
United States Davis Cup COM
mittee and former team captain.
/ "EIopman says he considers the
challenge round at Sydney a
tossup." Man said. while I
have been disappointed in both
Tony Trabert and Vic Seixas
this year, I have to agree with
him.
Hand in Poor Condition.
! 81 don't like to alibi for Ira
bert but ] saw his racquet hand.
| It was terrible looking. And Vic
played marvelously at Merton
last month in winning the Penn
sylvania tournament"
| Neither Trabert, the United
States champion, nor Seixas, sec
ond : ranked player. competed
here. Trabert is at Salt Lake
recovering from an operation for
hand callouses. Seixas rested for
the Newport. r. l., meet this
week and the national Champion
ships.
Discussing the probable team
for the Australian trip, Man
said:
"Our thinking hasn't jelled
completely, but Trabert and
Seixas are still our standbys
They have beaten Australia's best
doubles teams four of the last
five times.
Patty Outstanding.
eve also hope Bulge Patty
continues the outstanding tennis
he has been showing on the con.
tinent. He has wired us he woult
like to be considered for th'
team. On his record, we have tt
consider him if he shows up vel
. in the nationals"
; Patty, 80, a tennis nomad from
Los Angeles who lives most o
the time in Paris, won the Ger
; man international championship
! yesterday at Hamburg.

Spivey Outscores Bevo
Rx Dick Sloy

Facing the Harlem G1obetrot-
ters in a basketball game con-
tinues to be an extraordinary
experience for Gene Shue even
though the former Maryland
flash is beginning to feel more
at home among some of the
greatest players in the world.
The novelty of 1t all, which
impressed his admirers among
the crowd of 1928 at Griffith
Stadium last night, is that Shue
does not shoot often, naturally
doesn't score much, and his
team, George Mikan's United
States Stars, isn't expected to
win.
Last night was no exception.
The huge Negro wizards seldom
played seriously but won anyway,
55-51, a margin that was mis-
leadingly close.
Drives and fast breaks by Err
ME Beck gave the Stars an lilo
lead late in the first quarter but
then Goose Tatum & Co. pulled
away easily. A different lineup
started the second half for the
Trotters, grabbed a 1890 lead
and let the clowns take over.
Spivey Scores % Points.
The preliminary game saw the
Boston Whirlwinds stay ahead OF
the House Of David all the way
for a 54-43 victory, high lighted
by the scoring duel between Bill
Spivey and Bevo Francis. Spivey
| the former Kentucky ace, useo
his 7-foot height against the
Whirlwinds to throw in II fielc
goals and six four shots for q
points, high for the night. Fran.
els, after a hot hand in the sec.
ond quarter, lost the range anC
bucketed only four goals. Twelve
free throws gave him a tota
of 20 to top the Whirlwinds
scoring, however.
Shue was shaking his head ir
wonder while walking out Of
Griffith Stadium after the fina
whistle. The shy. 6-foot-2 youth
from Baltimore started with Abe
Saperstein's tour July % anc
has played about 10 games, anc
we haven't won any," he sale
with chagrin.
This is Shue's second trip with
the Globetrotters troupe. He
played with lineup of college
stars last April in a swing
through the East, returned to
Maryland to finish the spring
semester and then got a walters
| job at Sha-Wan-Ga Lodge, N. Y.
where he played basketball on
the Catskill circuit.

language. AS a matter OF fact
the publisher may we'll be cor
rect in stating that it offers for
the first time in any language
panorama of all aspects of
this modern Catholic social and
political thought in most of the
major countries of the world.
The only thesis of the book is
a negative one: to demonstrate,
in the words of Father Moody,
'how impossible it is to general
ize in regard to a Catholic po-
sition on politics and social mat
ters, without taking careful ac-
count of the diverse factors
which have shaped the thinking
of Catholics in different geo
graphical and historical set
tings" The emphasis is always
on actual conditions rather than
on distractions
Apt illustration
The Importance of this factual
type of approach to the role of
the Church in the field of social
and political action can be illus
trated by the problem raised in
our recent discussion of the Pas
toral Letter of the Netherlands
Hierarchy on the application of
Christian principles in the tenn
poral order. The Bishops, in the
course of this important Pas
toral, Internationally prohibited
Catholic membership in the So
cialist unions of that country.
This directive of the Neither
lands Hierarchy cannot be under
stood = least of all by Ameri-
cans-unless il is studied in the
light of actual conditions pre-
yailing in the Netherlands labor
movement.
Catholic social teaching in the
field of labor is obviously the
same in the Netherlands as in
the United States, but the "ac-
tual conditions" in the two eoun-
tries have been markedly differ
ent. American unions, with all
their faults and impeffections,
have been neutral in the good
sense of the word. In the Meth
erlands the socialist unions,
which we're the dominant unions
in that country until recent
years, have been the very oppo-
site of neutral with regard to re-

The Search For Unity

The several meetings Of non-Catholic church
groups that have been or are being, held through
out the country during the past two weeks have
served to emphasize in the eyes of the world the
of the basic discrepancy of One Christ and many
churches
The general theme of Unity" coored the dis
cussons of most of these meetings and, in Gods
own good grace and time, we sincerely hope they
find it--at Home.
The religious history Of the past four hundred
years has been that Of gradual growth OF
churches" separated from the Holy Roman Catholic
Church until we now are faced with an idiotic and
saddening roster of hundreds Of groups claiming
Christ as their founder.
1t has only been within relatively short period
OF time that nonCatholic church organizations have
sought to remedy the appalling rents in the fabric
of Christianity The realization by these bodies that
something is wrong and their efforts to rectify
this wrong to be commended and the eventual
true solution hoped and prayed for by us all
When these present meetings in the of
unity were announced the Catholic Church came
in for some petulant criticisms for not joining in the
general quest We were pointed out as being high
handed" and "aloof" and "sneeringy unco-operave.@
Such We know is not nor has il ever been the case.
Speaking recently in New York, Bishop Ready
outlined and summarized the position and attitude
Of the Church in this regard:
Outside the Church we hear constantly of the
efforts OF men TO find unity" Bishop Ready said,
and then went on to show how have essential
unity;
We are OF the one Church: One Lord, one
Christ one Baptism, one God and Father of All:
sheepfold, one shepherd, doctrine, essential
worship; one altar, one Sacrifice; one faith, one
hope one undying charity"
There are the reasons the Bishop said that I'VE
need not meet to formulate codes to draw up
constitutions to establish Christian unity"
Our attitude, then is not aloof or uncooperative.
II is one of the greatest interest and that is
evidenced in constant prayers that all those out
side the Fold will find the truth Cooperation in the
sense demanded by the groups meeting this month,
would mean departing from the Truth" that we hold
and understanding have done for the past
two thousand years
Are Catholics unfeelingly uninterested in the
cause OF unity? Should have joined in the pres
ent searching discussions? Not in the leaSt-and not
unfeelingy
Bishop Ready summarized feelings and ef-
forts concerning this soughtfor unity when he said,
we, on the contrary, have the unity of the house
hold Of Chrst's faith Our efforts for unity not
attempts TO make or find thing"
Our efforts for unity are" the Bishop
eiuded, merely the efforts Of children safe at
home calling to their wandering and misguided
brothers and sisters who stumbling in the dark
We in the heart OF Unity, seek TO bring into II
the errant human elements that should be there"
