The cup, emblematic of world pro- fessional hockey supremacy, will go to the team first winning three games in the five-game series. All contests will be played to a decision with “sudden death” overtime in the event the rivals are tied at the end of the regulation three periods. After the opening game the Rang- ers will take their second “home” game to Boston Thursday night since Madison Square Garden will not be available. The third game will be played in Toronto Saturday night and fourth and fifth, if necessary, at Toronto Tuesday and Thursday of next week. Neither team could be called a pro- nounced favorite.

It probably will break up the Lott- Van Ryn combination which holds the Wimbledon doubles title and won the Davis Cup doubles against Eng- land last year. The team had been year. George M. Lott disclosed the situ-| ation Monday in a telegram to the sports editor of a Philadelphia news- paper which said: “I am retiring from the Davis Cup competition this year for business reasons.” ‘The telegram was sent from Hous- ton, Tex., where Lott is playing in an invitation tournament. With the ranking No. 2 player un- avaliable, Wilmer Allison appears to be the strongest candidate to support John Van Ryn in the doubles.

As a matter of fact had the world champion St. Louis Cardinals upheld their end, the National League might be in the lead. Of six contests with American League rivals the Cardinals won only the first. Of the American League's 25 vic- tories the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Athletics have contri-| buted nine apiece. Detroit has won games and Boston, Washington and Ceveand one each, New York Giants, with three Wins and one defeat, and the Phil- Mes with a record of four victories; in six starts are the only National League clubs boasting an average of better than .500 against the junior cireutt. Against all major league opposi-| tion, whether or not of inter- tie tra-league character, the Boston Red i Sox and Washington Senators each have perfect records. That's not as impressive as it might sound, how- ever, for each has played only one game against a major league team. The real leaders are the New York Giants with 10 victories and four de- feats. In games of all descriptions, major and minor league competition ae bined, Washington leads with 14 vic- tories and one defeat.

Take the matter of tennis. In years past Americans have been criticized abroad for invading foreign lands and carting away the trophies. After all, weren't Americans alto- gether too serious about their sports: Didn't they play to win, practice too intently, specialize like Tilden or Bob- by Jones on one sport instead of play- ing half a dozen, none of them too well? But the spice of international com- petition has made such classics as the Wimbledon championships, and with the possibility of the American Davis report on the results of its investiga-|CUP team passing up the London tournament this year, criticism has taken a new turn. Bruce Harris, tennis correspondent of the London Evening Standard, brands the proposed plan of the U. |S. L. T. A. to sidetrack Wimbledon as an “unfriendly act.” The scheme is, he says, “stealing }@ march” on French and British play- ers who wilt be toiling at Wimbledon while the Americans are rounding into championship form at a French resort or in the Roland Garros stad- ium in Paris, TIT FOR TAT Unless “America abandons this @|‘‘cute” plan—cute, in English usage, meaning shrewd or tricky—the Eve- ning Standard writer urges retalia- ‘>| tion.

A. calls off the “semi-! boycott of Wimbledon.” Neither Fred! Perry nor Bunny Austin should go to; America this fall if Shields and Vines! skip the two weeks’ play at, Wimble- | don, he says. | Finally, Shakespeare is dragged in! to prove the unfriendly action of American tennis authorities, “The Americans by ignoring an obligation which the give-and-take of the game imposes will show that they believe (with Cassius) that: “Tis better that the enemy seek us— Whilst we, lying still, Are full of rest, defense and nimble- ness.” And as a parting shot the English Writer says that for the American Davis Cup team to avoid Wimbledon Assuming that Bill Killefer, St. Louis Browns manager, develop an- other standout pitcher from the ranks of the unknown, as has been his cus- tom, the new sensation is likely to be Bob Cooney, above, from Glenn Falls, N. ¥.
